2007 Lincoln MKZ Problems & Complaints

Varsity Ford Lincoln is refusing to fix open recalls. My vehicle has been sitting with them for 90 days. Lincoln is refusing to help. Now the dealership in a letter is stating they are not going to fix the open recalls because I have to pay them money to fix my brakes before they'll do that in a text. They are extorting me.

Dealership and Lincoln refusing to repair.

Car is inoperable due to the brake issue and airbag issue. Lincoln refuses to assist with getting it towed or working with the dealership. They will say that they do these things or are trying to help but they do not. This has been going on for 5 years. Dealerships will not fix the vehicle because the vehicle is too old they are telling me. The car is sitting and cannot be driven and nobody will help. I can't sell it I can't drive it I can't use it I can't do anything.

They've yet to find a remedy for either of these recalls. I'm complaining because I'd hate for someone to end up hurt before they figure out how to fix this. It's been 2yrs on the brake recall, this is getting rediculous

THE CONTACT STATED SHE HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED AS FAULTY BRAKE PADS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED.

2007 MKZ PURCHASED IN JANUARY 2009 WITH 25,000MILES HAS ALWAYS HAD ISSUE WITH ABS AND CPU FAILURE WHEN ACTIVATED IN MOTION OR EMERGENCY BRAKING. VEHICLE NOW HAS 96,000 MI IN MARCH 2021. LINCOLN MOTOR CO. HAS ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE#: 19V-904, THIRTEEN YEARS LATER/OCT 2020. THE RECALL IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE WHICH HAS ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO SUFFER LONG-TERM DAMAGE TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM. LINCOLN DEALERSHIP HAS ATTEMPTED TO MANAGE THE PROBLEM AT OWNER'S EXPENSE OVER THE YEARS BY REPLACING BRAKE PADS, STILL AT 40% AND ROTORS WHICH HAVE NO GROOVING OR WARPING. APPARENTLY, REPLACING THE PADS AND ROTORS ARE RESTORING THE CALIPER SETTINGS AND HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS WAS PERFORMED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE 13 YR. PERIOD, APPROX. EVERY 4000MILES, AT +1000$ PER SERVICE. AGAIN, THE VEHICLE TRAVELS WHEN BRAKING AND CANNOT PERFORM EMERGENCY STOPS. THE SOLUTION OFFERED AGAIN, TO CONCEAL THE MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT IS TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. 13 YEARS IS A DISGRACEFUL AMOUNT OF TIME TO ALLOW AN AUTO MANUFACTURER TO DENY A DEFECT AND AVOID ANY ACCOUNTABILITY.

PURCHASED A 2007 MKZ IN 2009 W/24K MILES. SINCE PURCHASE DATE, THE VEHICLE HAS HAD AN ELECTRONIC ISSUE WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM, WHICH IS TRIGGERED ANYTIME THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR ATTEMPTING TO STOP SUDDENLY. THE CPU RESPONDS WITH MULTIPLE SIGNALS ACROSS THE DASH, SOMETIMES SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND THE CPU ARE USUALLY RESET WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RESTARTED. VEHICLE HAS BEEN RETURNED TO LINCOLN DEALER FOR SERVICE. TRACTION CONTROL WAS TURNED OFF AND RETURNED TO OWNER. TO MANAGE THIS ISSUE OVER THE YEARS, LINCOLN DEALERSHIP HAS CHARGED OWNER OVER $1000 TO CHANGE BRAKES AND ROTORS WITH PADS AT 40% AND ROTORS HAVE NO DAMAGE. APPARENTLY RESTORING THE PADS AND ROTORS TO NEW RESTORES HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TO BRAKING SYSTEM. AFTER ABS SYSTEM FAILS, BRAKES HAVE LOST ACCEPTABLE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE CAUSING VEHICLE TO TRAVEL WHEN STOPPING AND GRIP SUDDENLY. VEHICLE CAN NO LONGER PERFORM SUDDEN STOPS IN EMERGENCY. VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

II AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT HAS TAKEN FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE EVALUATED FOR POTENTIAL BRAKING PROBLEMS. MY INQUIRY PERTAINS TO AN EXISTING RECALL (19V-904). I RECEIVED A SECOND LETTER FROM LINCOLN YESTERDAY REGARDING THIS MATTER THAT STATES THAT THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE DURING THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2021! CONSIDERING THAT THE RECALL WAS ISSUED IN DECEMBER OF 2019, WHY IS THIS TAKING SO LONG, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT INVOLVES POTENTIALLY LONGER BRAKING DISTANCE NEEDED TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP? I FIND THIS DELAY TO BE UNACCEPTABLE.

2007 LINCOLN MKZ V6. THE WHEEL/RIMS ARE GARBAGE. THEY ARE FALLING APART, CRACKS IN THE METAL, FINISH PEELING, AROUND THE TIRE PIECES OF THE RIM HAS FALLEN OFF. I CAN'T BELIEVE LINCOLN WOULD USE SUCH JUNK. I HAVE TO KEEP CHECKING THE AIR PRESSURE BECAUSE THE WHEELS/RIMS ARE SO TORN UP. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR TWO WEEKS AGO. LINCOLN NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL ON THESE WHEELS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED BECAUSE OF THEM FALLING APART. THE WELDS ARE BREAKING APART. THESE WHEELS/RIMS ARE DANGEROUS. *TR

WHILE WAITING AT A STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME STARTED TO GO. SOMEONE GOING ACROSS TRAFFFIC RAN THE STOP SIGN. THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME HIT THE BRAKES TO AVOID COLLISION. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE MY BRAKES JUST KIND OF SPUTTERED FORWARD AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP IN TIME TO AVOID HITTING THE BACK OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE BUT THE OTHER PARTY DID REPORT MINOR DAMAGES TO THEIR VEHICLE WHICH I WAS FORCED TO PAY FOR.

AFTER RECEIVING A LETTER IN THE MAIL REGARDING MY AIRBAG RECALL, I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO WARREN FORD TO HAVE THE AIRBAGS RECALL RESOLVED. WHEN I PICKED UP MY CAR THERE WAS NOW AN AIRBAG LIGHT ON, ON THE DASH. PRIOR TO HAVING ANY WORK DONE THERE WERE NO DASH LIGHTS ON. WARREN FORD INFORMED US UPON REQUEST THAT THERE IS "NOTHING THEY ARE WILLING TO DO." THIS IS AN ISSUE BECAUSE PRIOR TO THE WORK BEING DONE I HAD NO ISSUES AND NOW THERE IS A LIGHT ON SHOWING ME THAT THERE IS SOME TYPE OF SAFETY CONCERN NOW. SINCE THE LIGHT WASN'T ON WHEN WE ORIGINALLY BROUGHT IT TO THE SHOP FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL, THERE MUST HAVE BEEN SOME KIND OF MISTAKE WHILE THEY WERE WORKING ON THE VEHICLE. THE AIRBAG RECALL REALLY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ISSUE NOW, THE ISSUE NOW IS THAT WARREN FORD SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR NOT FIXING/RESOLVING THE AIRBAG LIGHT ISSUE THAT IS ONLY ON SINCE THEY COMPLETED THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. THIS RECALL WORK WAS COMPLETED AROUND DECEMBER OF 2018. WARREN FORD STATED IT WAS NOT A LIFE THREATENING CONCERN AND TOLD US TO BRING THE CAR BACK AS SOON AS IT WAS CONVENIENT TO HAVE THEM RESOLVE THE LIGHT ISSUE. THEN WHEN WE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK THATS WHEN THEY SAID THERES NOTHING TO BE DONE AND THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE TO DO THE WORK.

MY CAR HAS HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. IT WOULD SUDDENLY GO SOFT/SPONGY AND BRAKING DISTANCE WOULD INCREASE DRAMATICALLY. THE PROBLEM WOULD OCCUR WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, QUITE RANDOMLY, EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO SEVERAL FORD DEALERS, AND NONE OF THEM EVER HAD A LEGITIMATE FIX, ONLY SAYING THAT THE SPONGY BRAKE PEDAL RESOLVES ITSELF AFTER AWHILE, AND IT WOULD EVENTUALLY, BUT THE ISSUE WOULD ALWAYS RETURN AGAIN. THE FORD/LINCOLN DEALERS SAID THE ISSUE OF THE UNUSUALLY SOFT BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELATED TO THE ABS SYSTEM. RECENTLY, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THE BRAKE PEDAL ISSUE RETURNED, AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO BRAKE IN TIME, AS THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, AND THE CAR DID NOT STOP AS IT NORMALLY WOULD HAVE. THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

TAKATA RECALL..... I OWN A 2007 LINCOLN MKZ. I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE JULY 2016 FOR A REPLACEMENT OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG. I GOT A SECOND NOTICE A YEAR LATER 2017 TELLING ME I NEED THE AIRBAG TO BE REPLACED BUT SORRY LINCOLN DOES NOT HAVE IT AGAIN. SO NOW IM GOING TO 3 YEARS THAT I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO USE MY CAR. I HAVE 3 GRANDCHILDREN THAT I HAVE FULL CUSTODY OF. I CANNOT USE MY CAR BECAUSE OF THE SEVERITY OF POSSIBLE DEATH OR DISFIGUREMENT DUE TO THE FAULTY TAKATA AIRBAG. I WAS TOLD NOT TO USE THE CAR IN WHICH I HAVE NOT...I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN MAY 2015. FROM A FLORIDA FORD DEALER, I FEEL THE CAR WAS MISREPRESENTED TO ME, AS THE TAKATA DANGERS WERE NOT DISCLOSED TO ME, AND I FEEL THE CAR SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN SOLD WITHOUT FIRST HAVING THE AIRBAG REPLACED. I THINK THAT TWO AND A HALF YEARS IS QUITE EXCESSIVE TO REPLACE AN AIRBAG THAT CARRIES SO MUCH DANGER AND LIABILITY ON THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER SIDE. I INTEND TO RETAIN COUNSEL TO HELP RESOLVE THE SITUATION. THANK YOU

GENTLEMEN, I OWN A 2007 LINCOLN MKZ WITH 68,750 MILES ON IT. I PUT A NEW MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER ON IT ON AUGUST 16, 2015. THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED BECAUSE MY BRAKES WERE PERIODICALLY GOING 'SOFT' AFTER HITTING ROUGH PATCHES ON A ROAD, STRIKING WET, UNEVEN MANHOLE COVERS, OR HITTING SLIPPERY CONDITIONS WHICH ACTIVATED THE ABS SYSTEM. SINCE THAT AUGUST INSTALLATION OF A NEW OEM MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER I HAVE HAD THREE MORE INSTANCES WHERE THE BRAKES HAVE GONE MUSHY AFTER VARIOUS ATTEMPTS TO MAKE A QUICK STOP. I'VE COME TO UNDERSTAND THE LIKELY DEFECTIVE PART IS THE HYDRAULIC MOTOR CONTROL COMMON TO THE CARS UNDER INVESTIGATION AS WELL AS ALL OTHERS UTILIZING THIS SAME PART. MY POINT IS THAT IT IS NOT JUST THE 2007-2009 FORD FUSION OR THE MERCURY MILAN (WHICH YOU ARE INVESTIGATING) THAT HAS THESE SUSPECTED DEFECTIVE BRAKE CONDITIONS. MY 2007 LINCOLN MKZ (AND ANY OTHER FORD, MERCURY, OR LINCOLN AUTOMOBILES WHICH USE THIS CAR'S SAME BRAKING SYSTEM) HAS THIS SAME UNSAFE DESIGN. MY LATEST INCIDENT OCCURRED LAST WEEK WHEN A DEER RAN OUT IN FRONT OF MY CAR ON A SNOWY ROAD. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND AVOIDED HIM. THE ABS KICKED IN AND BRAKES HAVE BECAME MUSHY IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER. AFTER TAKING MY CAR IN FOR REPAIRS TO THE SOFT BRAKES, THE BRAKES HAVE NOT BEEN RETURNED TO 'NORMAL'. I'M RETURNING TO THE GARAGE FOR A 'FIX' AGAIN. THE SOFT BRAKES CAUSE THE CAR TO TAKE EXTRAORDINARILY ABOVE NORMAL DISTANCES TO STOP. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO REVIEW THE 2007 LINCOLN MKZ FOR SIMILAR DEFECTS TO THAT OF THE MERCURY MILAN AND FORD FUSION. ALTHOUGH YOU ARE REPORTING NO DEATHS CURRENTLY AS A RESULT OF THESE CONDITIONS TO THE MKZ, ONE / MANY ARE IMMINENT. 475,000 CARS ALL POTENTIALLY WITH THIS SAME BRAKE DESIGN ARE UNSAFE. ONE WE KNOW FOR SURE THAT IS CERTAINLY UNSAFE IS THE 2007 LINCOLN MKZ.

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED NOTICE 07/11/2016 OF RECALL INVOLVING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE RECALL SPECIFICALLY STATES "A RUPTURED INFLATOR CAN SEND INFLATOR PARTS TOWARD VEHICLE OCCUPANTS RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER ON 07/11/2016 AND SPOKE TO AARON. I ASKED HIM ABOUT DEACTIVATING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND HIS INSTRUCTIONS WERE NOT TO DO SO. AS OF THIS DATE THERE IS NO REMEDY, I AM UNABLE TO SELL MY VEHICLE, MY WIFE MAY BE IN SERIOUS DANGER SHOULD WE HAVE A FRONTAL COLLISION WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. INFORMATION AVAILABLE INDICATES SOME MANUFACTURERS ARE RECOMMENDING DEACTIVATION. PLEASE ADVISE SO THAT I MAY TAKE PROPER ACTION.

THE BRAKES DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE PEDAL FEEL IS SPONGY AND THE PEDAL TRAVEL IS EXCESSIVE (3-4") BEFORE THE BRAKES START TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. BRAKES WERE FULLY BLED TO ENSURE OLD FLUID WITH TOO MUCH MOISTURE IN IT WASN'T THE PROBLEM. THIS ACTION DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. JUST HAD A FORD DEALER REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER--THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. AFTER CONDUCTING A WEB SEARCH AND TALKING WITH THE DEALER MORE, APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM IS A VALVE STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION ON THE ABS SYSTEM'S HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A BIT OF A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FUSION, MKZ AND MILAN VEHICLES OVER NUMEROUS YEARS. THERE ALSO APPEARS TO BE AN UPDATED PART NUMBER FOR THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT. THIS CONDITION IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE BRAKES DO NOT PROPERLY SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED.

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH LOW TIRES. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY GOING LOW/FLAT. ABOUT 6 MONTH AGO I HAD ONE TIRE COME COMPLETELY OFF MY RIM. FROM WHAT I AM TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP, THE RIMS HAVE TO BE SHAVED DOWN AND THEN RE SEALED. I JUST BOUGHT NEW TIRES LESS THEN A YEAR AGO AND ALREADY IN NEED OF NEW ONES BECAUSE THE TREAD IS WORN OUT FOR HAVING INCONSISTANT AIR IN THEM WITH THEM CONTINUALLY GOING LOW! IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS BUT MORE FREQUENTLY WITHIN THE LAST 12 MONTHS.

WHILE ENTERING ACCESS RAMP TO HIGHWAY, AT APPROX 30 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED HARD AND I NOTICED THE TACHOMETER RISE TO 4000RPM AND STAY AT THAT LEVEL. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT. I DID MANAGE TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY BUT THE HIGHEST SPEED I COULD GARNER WAS 55MPH ALL THE WHILE THE TACH STAYED AT 4-5000 RPM AND CONTINUED TO RACE. SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE NOTICED LEAKING FLUIDS FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND INFORMED THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION.

MY WIFE AND I WERE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION AFTER A WOMAN, WHO CLAIMS TO HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP, SIDESWIPED THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AHEAD OF US ON A 2-LANE ROAD. IN AN ATTEMPT TO AVOID A HEAD-ON COLLISION, I SWERVED OFF THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT. SHE ACCELERATED, TURNED LEFT AND GOT IN FRONT OF US AND WE COLLIDED WITH HE RIGHT FRONT FENDER AT THE WHEEL-WELL. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THE FRONT END WAS CRUSHED. I WAS DRIVING AND MY LEFT ARM WAS BROKEN. THE LITTLE AIRBAG IN THE STEERING COLUMN HIT ME IN THE CHEST, BRUISED ME, AND CAUSED SEVERE PAIN. MY WIFE WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. HER SEATBELT WAS SECURELY FASTENED, BUT IT DID NOT HOLD HER IN PLACE AS IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO. ON IMPACT, SHE MET THE AIRBAG HALFWAY AND MOST OF HER RIBS WERE FRACTURED. FOUR (4) OF HER VERTEBRAE WERE FRACTURED, AS WAS HER RIGHT ANKLE. HER LUNGS WERE BRUISED AND ONE WAS PUNCTURED. HER LEFT KNEE HIT THE DASHBOARD AND DROVE HER FEMUR THROUGH HER PELVIS. SHE WAS TAKEN TO UMD SHOCK-TRAUMA CENTER WHERE SHE WAS INTUBATED, SEDATED AND PUT IN TRACTION FOR SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE A 7 HOUR SURGERY TO REBUILD HER HIP AND FEMUR. SHE WAS IN A FULL-TORSO CAST AND USED A WHEELCHAIR FOR >6 WEEKS. SHE IS STILL REBOUNDING FROM THE EFFECTS OF THE INEFFECTIVE SEATBELT, WHICH DID NOT WORK AS DESIGNED.

LINCOLN MKZ 2007 AIRBAG MODULAR AND SENSORS GONE BAD AND AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. CAR WAS CHECKED FOR THE PROBLEM AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST OVER $1500 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. THIS CAR PARTS HAVE CONTINUOUSLY FAIL ON THIS PARTICULAR CAR PANELS ON BOTH FRONT DOOR HAVE CRACKED, DRIVES SIDE HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE BY DEALER. WAS TOLD THAT IF I REPLACE DOOR PANEL I WOULD HAVE TO BUY THE DOOR RATHER THAN JUST A PANEL, HAVE REPLACED ALL FOUR REELS ON THE CAR, TIRES CONSTANTLY HAVE TO BE CHECKED FOR LOW AIR PRESSURE IN TIRES, DASHBOARD HAS POPPED LOOSE AT VENT IN TOP OF DASHBOARD AND WAS TOLD BY DEALER IT WOULD COST OVER $2000 TO REPAIR. THIS CAR IS SUPPOSE TO BE ONE OF LINCOLN'S BEST VEHICLES AND THE PARTS ON THIS CAR ARE NOT TOP QUALITY. CAR IS NOT OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE HAD SO MANY PROBLEM. CAR WAS POORLY BUILT AND IT IS A SHAME THAT LINCOLN WILL NOT STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ACKNOWLEDGE ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. I AM A VERY UNSATISFIED CUSTOMER AND AT THIS POINT WOULD NOT CONSIDER BUYING ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE LINCOLN FAMILY. WHAT A SHAME THAT YOU PAY SO MUCH FOR A VEHICLE AND GET THIS KIND OF QUALITY. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME. *TR

THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE AND COILS WENT BAD. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER. WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB 14-0059) ON 2007-2008 LINCOLN MKZ'S.

APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH AGO (IN MAY, 2014), WHILE IN THE PARKED POSITION AND IN A PARKING SPACE, NO FOOT ON BRAKE OR ACCELERATOR, MY 2007 LINCOLN MKZ (61,000 MILES) ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED UP AND BEGAN TO THRUST FORWARD. I IMMEDIATELY HIT MY BRAKE HARD, WHICH STOPPED THE CAR PRIOR TO HITTING THE CURB OR OTHER OBSTACLES; HOWEVER, HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR MY QUICK REFLEX, I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED! THERE WAS A CURB, A TRASH CAN, AND A BUILDING DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME, AND HAD I NOT BEEN ABLE TO STOP THE CAR, THERE'S NO DOUBT I WOULD HAVE PLOWED STRAIGHT THRU ALL! I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE, BUT FOUND NO RECALLS EXCEPT ON FLOOR MATS THAT GET STUCK. I DON'T HAVE THE FACTORY INSTALLED FLOOR MATS IN MY CAR AND DOUBT THAT THIS IS MY PROBLEM. I DID FIND A FEW SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE RACING, SURGING, ACCELERATING ENGINE ISSUES OCCURRING WITH THIS MAKE & MODEL. I PRINTED OUT THESE COMPLAINTS AND TOOK TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY RESEARCHED IT AS WELL AND FOUND NO RECALLS AND OF COURSE THEY OFFERED TO CHECK OUT THE CAR, INQUIRING ABOUT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY, IF ANY. I'VE SINCE HAD A FEW INCIDENCES OF MINOR UNPROVOKED ENGINE RACING WHILE DRIVING THAT DIDN'T APPEAR TO BE TOO CRITICAL; HOWEVER, I HAVE THIS SITUATION ON MY MIND WHILE DRIVING AND THE THOUGHTS ARE UNSETTLING!

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED FROM A 3RD PARTY IN MARCH 2010 WITH 46,000 MILES AND WAS UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. WE DISCOVERED THE WHEELS HAD CHROME FLAKING BADLY SOON AFTER PURCHASE, AND ROB SIGHT LINCOLN MERCURY (NOW DBA ROB SIGHT FORD) ONLY AGREED TO REPLACE TWO OF THE WHEELS UNDER WARRANTY CLAIMING IT WAS A COSMETIC ISSUE. SINCE THE CAR HAD BEEN PURCHASED THROUGH ANOTHER DEALER, ROB SIGHT WAS HESITANT TO HONOR THE WARRANTY EVEN ON THE TWO WHEELS THEY DID REPLACE. SUBSEQUENTLY, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED AT LEAST10 FLAT TIRES ON THE REMAINING WHEELS, EVEN AFTER REPLACING ALL FOUR TIRES. CLEARLY THE ORIGINAL FLAKING ISSUE IS FAR MORE THAN COSMETIC, IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. AT A COST OF NEARLY $1,000 EACH TO REPLACE WHEELS, THAT HAS NOT BEEN CONSIDERED AN ACCEPTABLE ALTERNATIVE. WE HAD THE WHEELS REBUILT AT A CAR WHEEL SPECIALIST IN MERRIAM, KS (HUBCAP & WHEEL) AND WHILE THE BEAD SEAL FAILURES IMPROVED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, ADDITIONAL CORROSION HAS RENDERED THE WHEELS INOPERABLE. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 80,000 MILES AND THE TEMPTATION IS TO SELL IT TO SOMEONE ELSE, WITH THE HOPE THAT SUBSEQUENT TIRE FAILURES DO NOT RESULT IN A FATALITY. THERE CAN BE LITTLE DOUBT THAT MOST OTHER 2007 MKZ OWNERS UNFORTUNATE ENOUGH TO OWN THIS VEHICLE, AND HAVING RECEIVED THE SAME TREATMENT FROM FORD/LINCOLN THAT WE HAVE, ARE TEMPTED TO DO THE SAME THING. *JS
