While driving on a city street, vehicle did not respond to the accelator- no power to the vehicle and a "wrench" appeared on the dash board. Power train problem. Take vehicle immediately to your Lincoln dealer. The car stopped and I was able to pull over. It seemed to be choking then stopped. Towed it to dealer - they ran diagnostic tests and found "nothing wrong with it". two weeks later same thing happened. Fortunately I was on a city street again and able to move over. Had this happened N the freeway I am sure there would have been a major accident. Dealer again could find nothing again. Apparently the diagnostic tests are not effective. They recommended replacing the "throttle". that "might" be the problem. I am now very uncomfortable driving this vehicle and stay always in the right lane just in case it decides to die again. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle now. Apparently Lincoln expects an owner to keep replacing parts - even though they might not be defective - and hope eventually the correct part is replaced. I am wondering about all the electronic "progress" we have supposedly made, why defective parts cannot be accurately detected. Way too much unnecessary functions on vehicles - creating too many chances for electrical errors. Where does it end? the car has only 37,000 miles on it and was very reliable - until now- now it is out of warranty - each replacement part, I am sure, will be costly - this is going to be a guessing game from now on.

Drivetrain warning light (wrench) illuminatedwhile driving with associated limp mode and rough running engine. Ford repair stated throttle body needed replacing, not covered under drivetrain warranty, and common item failure on Mkx's. this is a customer satisfaction replacement item on previous years of the Mkx but not for 2012. Obvious that the problem still exists. 65,000 miles on vehicle and all maintenance completed at dealership.

I noticed a few days ago when I was in traffic my brakes didn't want to hold. I pressed really hard and only then did my car stopped. I took it to a mechanic and he checked it out and said my brakes looked great. Two days ago I was driving and my car just shut off and the engine light came on. I took it to the Ford dealer to have it checked out. I was told it was a faulty value and that my brakes were fine. When I went to leave the dealer my car shut off in the middle of the highway and my brakes failed I was thankful that there were no cars in front of me. I immediately turned around and went back to the dealer. The manager came and checked it out and he said the booster part of the brakes were defected and my car was still under warranty. The car is now in the shop. I noticed when I checked online that others have had the same issues. My fear was having an accident!
