During the first incident, I was driving and heard a loud whirling sound then smoke started coming out the exhaust. I was told the problem was with the turbo charger. Then I had them replaced three months down the road while driving my car lost power. The throttle control light came on and I couldn't move the car. I left the car where it was, then came back the next day and it drove fine I took it to the repair shop in the mechanic couldn't find any problems and today when I went to pick the car up the car started smoking again no check engine light or any type of service light came on.

Lincoln Mks 2010 lost power on highway and started shaking. Towed to a mechanic who did a tune-up, checked the turbos and now says it needs the motor replaced due to a bad cylinder. Ford needs to fix these ecoboost engines which are failing.

Just bought this car about a month ago off the used lot at a Ford dealership 59,000 miles now is at 63,000 and on every start up it makes a loud clicking noise took it back they told me they new right what it was because the F150S and the Taurus shos with the 3.5 eco boost I guess they have the problem more often then the Lincoln. The timing chain tensionor is losing its prime they told me and will be $3000 to fix sucks being I just paid $15,000 cash for it a month ago.
