While traveling on interstate 90 a approx 60 mph. The vehicle started slowing down. I looked at the speedometer and it read 0. seconds later the dash power flashed and went completely dark. I'm had absolutely no power at 60mph on an interstate. Fortunately, I was able to cruise along at make it to the next exit and stop on the side of the road. Once stopped, I took gear out of drive and put it in park. I push the start button and it started up. Fortunately, I was able to make it home but I was completely terrified that it would happen again. Soon as I made it home, I began researching Lincoln Mkx to see if this has happened to anyone else. To my horror, many Lincoln Mkx owners have reported the same problem. There is no recalls listed on my VIN. This vehicle is a death trap and Lincoln need to address this issue immediately. People have died from this critical malfunction and if not someone's death will be caused. This vehicle is a death trap.

Shift car into "park" and the car is clearly in park but on the dash the "P" does not illuminate which causes an error message of "transmission not in park" when you turn the car off. If you turn the car off while the error message is showing, all auxiliary components (heat, radio, etc) stay on and your battery goes dead. Occurs nearly every day, each time the vehicle is put into "park".

The contact owns a 2015 Lincoln Mkx. While driving approximately 25 mph, the vehicle experienced a complete loss of power and the low oil pressure warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the computers had a glitch, which triggered a false warning indicator that resulted in loss of power. The technician was unable to remedy the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 1,000.
