My family and I were driving on I 20 fort worth tx, driving 60mph. It happen again while driving our 2013 lincoln mkx started to slow down,we kept pressing on the gas pedal but nothing happen. We were able to move over to the far right hand lane. This incident took place several times this day and with our children in the car! One of the incidents almost cause an accident, but cars were able to divert around us. Crazy thing is that no warning lights had came on nor are any on at this point. We have tried pretty much for most of the day to find some sort of issue with our vehicle. Have discovered that this is an on going issue with most of lincoln mkx. No warning or anything, your vehicle will start to slow down automatically at any moment in which puts your life and your families lives in danger. Yet again no one seems to be addressing this issue. Consumer stated I do not know exact mileage at incident, it was roughly 4200. Vehicle has been taken to the dealership and an oil consumption test has been started after oil change. Sticker has been placed on windshield for oil change. Scheduled for 9286 miles (5000 miles over oil change). Vehicle was under the service mileage when the stall occurred. No warning lights or noises before during or after event.

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.
