Purchased vehicle used in november 2015. Noticed every time I put gasoline in the vehicle, it would not start on the first attempt. Months later, check in light come on, took vehicle to a ford delership (in 2016) and was told nothing was wrong with the vehicle. As time went on, the issue with refueling and engin light countied. In 2017 while driving on the highway in rush hour traffic, a warning light appeared (low oil engin pressure) and the vehicle stalled. Dealership said it was the throttle body and replaced it. About a week later, engin light appeared and one month later received same low oil pressure and the vehicle stalled out again while driving. Vehicle has not been repaired, currently in the shop.
2013 Lincoln MKX engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Near the end of my 35 minute commute home I stopped at a red light on a busy city street. When the light turned green, I put my foot off the brake and placed it on the accelerator. . The car would not accelerate. The low engine pressure light came on. I turned the steering wheel to coast the car to the right lane. I put the car in park. I had the car towed to a dealer. The dealer could not duplicate the problem and the computer had no history of the error messaage. Very troubling. I drive the freeway to work during early morning hours. If this had occurred on the freeway, the car would've been an easy target for traffic behind me.
Engine shuts off while driving. Vehicle stalls on acceleration. Throttle body was replaced 14 days ago, issue still exists.

Near the end of my daily hour long commute home I was coming up to a stop sign, as I was decelerating up to the stop sign, the low oil pressure light came on, the steering seize up, the accelerator failed to function, and the braking was sluggish. I was luckily able to steer to the side of the road. I put the vehicle in park, pressed the power button to turn the car off and the car turned off. I turned the car back on as normal and all systems appeared to function as if nothing had happened. I brought the car in for service and they informed me the computer did not register any faults, errors, or issues. This is concerning, because if this problem had occurred on the highway at highway speeds and I were to lose acceleration and steering control, I would not be able to type this report. The dealer service technicians are unable to locate the issue because it was not recorded.
