My 2007 Lincoln MKX had an SUA and within 10 feet totaled the front end when it was thrust into a cement building. This happened On [XXX] and the vehicle is available for inspection here in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. In 2010 Lincoln implemented an override device to the brake system knowing of the problem and there was no recall for vehicles prior to 2010. My safety was put at risk and that of others. If someone had been exiting the store or walking down the sidewalk they could have been killed. I am suffering with physical and mental problems as a result of this. Police report also states this was definitely a vehicle malfunction. There were no warning signs prior to the incident. Claim has been filed with the Office of General Council at Lincoln, but remains unresolved to date. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was driving down the road to the store in town at 25 MPH, and a light clanging started coming from under the car. Upon heading back toward my house the car began making a louder clanging and the car suddenly locked up. I though my car was seizing up in the middle of the road. It did not want to move forward!! It loosened up to make it the 2 blocks home.when backing into my driveway I was told one of my tires was not moving and the other one jumped. Upon having the car checked out I am td that ot os the ptu causing the issue. It is just lucky that I was not driving home from work when this started. Heaven forbid if my car would have locked up like that in the middle of the highway. That could have been deadly at 65 MPH! This issue needs to be fixed as there seems to be a lot of complaints for this issue. Lets not wait until someone gets rear ended into oblivion because of the ford company failing to build.these vehicles safely!

My 2007 mkx only has 135,000 miles since purchase we've had to change front axles, calipers, 2 sets of lifetime brakes but most concerning is the ptu has to be changed. As I was looking into ptu information I have came across detailed information that the ptu is a known issue through the manufacturer so I'm not understanding why there's no recall on this ongoing issue. I was driving and started hearing a loud metal thumping and felt like wheels were trying to lock up and when backing into driveway it started jumping.

I recently submitted a letter to ford/lincoln company as well as the federal safety agency dated 9/11/19. I reached out to lincoln/ford company last week in regards to stated letter and the error codes of p0356 and p1299, which has to what I have been told by (2) different care repair shops that these are common error in ford edge and lincoln mkx. These codes are related to the pcu module and the ignition coils not be read by the pcu module. I took the liberty of researching and I just went back to 2013 and found that over 100 other consumers have the same issue. I repaired mine twice already and its still an issue because of the pcu module , which is priced at over $800 alone. I was conversing with lisa relaford, who is the concierge service manager at lincoln client relationship center, who basically stated that if the car is not under warranty that they can not assist with any financial assistance,. Which is clearly a lie. I have recently had a recall on my airbag and a fuel pump via lincoln, at that time my truck was not under warranty, but they were replaced. So, that is clearly a contradiction. This is obviously a faulty part that over hundred of people have had and I am inquiring as to why it was never recalled or the part replaced. I have changed my ignition coils twice , which cost about $80 each ($160) and the idirium spark plugs that are required for my truck which cost about $20 each ($40). I would thibnk that someone, while driving whose truck loses power on the highway, ususally going at about 60 MPH, is a major concern and in some ways life threating. Which is exactly what happened to me . This matter is of high importance and needs to be addressed. Please refer to the letter that was submitted in september by me and get back to me with an answer , as soon as possible because once again my truck is not driveable.
