FCIM failure causes AC unit to activate randomly. Windows can fog without warning causing an unsafe driving condition. Also, from YouTube videos - this defect can also cause rear windows to lock/unlock unexpectedly (I have not yet experienced this).
Car stopped without warning, then "check engine" came on. After waiting several minutes, it started again. We were in a very heavy traffic area and turned right to get to where we staying when the car stopped without warning. Fortunately, no car turned behind us or we could have been killed or injured. We were staying at a timeshare in Weston.Fl. and tried to find a Lincoln dealer but to no avail. We decided to leave for our home in Fort Myers on February 16, 2022 (staying off I75) taking back roads and the car stopped again without warning, then, "check engine", we proceeded as did previously and made it to Gallaway Ford/Lincoln in Fort Myers, Fl. where it is now being inspected. We own a 2012 and a 2015 Lincoln and have never had a problem. We purchased this 2013 MKZ last February 2021 from Gallaway Lincoln.
Strong odor coming from passenger vent when car is running. Doesn't have to be moving but more prevalent when it is in motion. Outside weather doesn't matter.
My sync software on my Lincoln Mkz won't update because the apim is defective. Ford/Lincoln previously provided a 5 year warranty extension on this component. This defective apim causes my volume to either turn all the way up or all the way down, no in between. It also causes the music from my phone to play on my phone speakers rather than the car speakers and also randomly disconnects my phone. The five year warranty expired about one year ago but I feel like this should still be covered because it causes a safety hazard when my phone disconnects and I have to attempt to fix it so I can utilize the hands-free phone features.
