When you hit the gas pedal you lose all acceleration. You have to drift to a complete stop, turn the car off and then restart it. Have almost been hit multiple times and once on the highway traveling about 50 mph. Thankfully traffic was not heavy and I was able to get my car stopped and restarted before the possibility of someone running into us. There was no shoulder to pull off on because of construction. It was terrifying. It happens randomly and there is no warning as to when. A vehicle in this condition is not safe to drive and Lincoln seems to not know what the problem is so they send people home in their defective vehicles because as they say they can't get the problem to duplicate so they told me that there is nothing wrong with my car and sent me home now twice. Trust me there is something wrong with my car and many others and it is a huge safety hazard!!!

Car was in motion at 65mph on a 4 lane freeway traveling in lane 2 or 3. it made a loud thud and the wrench icon appeared on the dashboard. At the same time, the gas pedal no longer provided acceleration and the only thing I could do was coast to a stop, while maneuvering the vehicle to the shoulder. After stopping I restarted the car and it functioned perfectly fine. The wrench light was no longer illuminated. Two months later it happened again while in a forward motion on city streets...made a loud thud, the wrench icon appeared. I was at the West side of a 4 lane intersection and barely had enough power to coast through the intersection and pull over on the East side. After shutting the car off, it started up fine again. I am afraid to drive it now

Lincoln Mkx 2013 stalls, the wrench displays, and slows down. Than you have stop and restart car. So far this has happened over 5 times in one year, more in the recent weeks. Very dangerous in traffic. After research on internet looks like throttle body but Lincoln says my car is not on the recall list

MKX 6-cyl

  • 4,000 miles
Near the end of my daily hour long commute home I was coming up to a stop sign, as I was decelerating up to the stop sign, the low oil pressure light came on, the steering seize up, the accelerator failed to function, and the braking was sluggish. I was luckily able to steer to the side of the road. I put the vehicle in park, pressed the power button to turn the car off and the car turned off. I turned the car back on as normal and all systems appeared to function as if nothing had happened. I brought the car in for service and they informed me the computer did not register any faults, errors, or issues. This is concerning, because if this problem had occurred on the highway at highway speeds and I were to lose acceleration and steering control, I would not be able to type this report. The dealer service technicians are unable to locate the issue because it was not recorded.
