Vehicle loses power, steering and braking without warning. Orange wrench alert illuminates. Car must be shut off and restarted. Very dangerous condition. Several other complaints online. This has happened twice, luckily at low speeds and little traffic.

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.

Car stalls and looses power in 5-10 seconds while driving. Once stopped, the car will restart and drive. The problem indicator "yellow wrench" tells the dealership nothing relating to the problem. This problem is life threatening because it often happens while traveling at high rates of speed (interstates) in environments with lots of traffic. Since the car begins immediate deceleration, getting to safety without getting into an accident in these circumstances, is frightening at best. On wed, 4/17/19, I was traveling on I-40, 5 lanes of traffic at 5:05 P.M. (I was in the leftmost lane) and my car stalled. By the time I got to the 2nd lane from the shoulder, I had almost been hit by a speeding car and an 18-wheeler. I was not able to get any momentum to get off the road quickly because the car had no power. This is a life threatening problem!!! I found many reports of the same thing occurring in Lincoln Mkx's (predominantly 2016's) that relate to a defective electronic throttle body, need for updated software, and/or the purge body. Lincoln indicates they cannot/will not fix this issue because they can't get a maintenance code to confirm the diagnosis. This situation could easily cost lives unnecessarily!! my reports of this issue are not being taken seriously (dealership & Lincoln Ford Motor Company). Since there is no recall associated to my VIN, they attest there is no issue unless I can provide it. I can't prove it because I never know when it will happen. They have kept my car for a week and drive but couldn't replicate. There needs to something much more aggressive that is mandated to be done before lives are lost. It is my hope you will be able to assist. Thank you.

While driving my vehicle changes from automatic to sorts mode and shows shift changing on dash, which causes it to go from any speed to 5mph instantly. It pulls car back and causes sudden speed change and is very dangerous. I have taken it to the dealer since purchased various times and the still do not find anything and I am still paying for the car that I bought a yr ago while it continues to do the same thing. Last time it happened was Sept 15 2018 (has happened over 20 times).

"engine recall" once I try to stick it in park, it tells me transmission is not in park! does this every time I try to put it in park! my car isn't even 2 years old yet and just hit 30,000 miles! very frustrating!

The contact owns a 2015 Lincoln Mkx. While driving various speeds, the contact smelled an oil odor emitting from the air vents in the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 50. The VIN was unavailable.
