2015 Lincoln MKC problems

“Vehicle unresponsive after sitting idol at traffic light. When trying to accelerate, no power. Vehicle was still running, but unable to accelerate. Finally able to accelerate after RPMs up to nearly 3000 rpms, and slow to respond and accelerate. Engine warning code on dashboard soon after. Error code is P0751, shift solenoid A performance stuck or off. Similar issue when under warranty in 2022 with 22,000 miles.”

“The contact owns a 2015 Lincoln MKC. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the front driver's side door failed to unlock as intended, which required the contact to enter the vehicle through the front passenger's side door and to crawl over to the front driver's side seat. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the contact was informed that the repair was not covered under warranty or recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V378000 (Engine). The contact stated that while the dealer was previously performing the recall repair, the dealer informed the contact that the battery monitor sensor was damaged. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 67,000.”

“I got out of work and went to start my car. At first it did not want to start, and it acted like the alarm system had an issue. I locked my car, then unlocked it with the key fob, and when it started, it ran rough and was smoking out of the exhaust. I turned it off and quickly checked the fluids. I noticed the antifreeze was low, and since I always carry fluids in the car, I filled up the reservoir and then tried to restart my car. It did the same thing, not wanting to start until I locked and unlocked with the key fob. I drove home, but the check engine light was on the entire time. The following morning, I started my car and it was blowing white smoke out of the exhaust. I turned it off and contacted a local auto repair shop. It had to be towed to the shop so as to not cause damage. The auto shop said it was the head gaskets and since there was a known problem with the coolant leaking, I would have to get a whole new (used) engine. The total would be over $8000. I called another repair shop to see if they would be willing to replace the head gaskets, and after they agreed, I had it towed to their shop. After diagnostics, (no negligence on my part) this shop…”

“The contact owns a 2015 Lincoln MKC. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V270000 (Back Over Prevention); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that while in reverse(R), the rear-view camera displayed a distorted image with the message "Contact Dealer" displayed. Several dealers were contacted and informed the contact that the parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was contacted and scheduled an appointment for the recall repair with a dealer; however, during the appointment visit, the dealer informed the contact that parts were still unavailable. The contact stated that the dealer had previously diagnosed the vehicle with the rearview camera failure. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.”

“When I first submitted the VIN# just one hour ago, it responded with 2 open recalls, now it is responding with only one! The one that magically dropped was a major safety issue , a possibility of a cracked fuel injector , which of course could start a fire at any time ! Why did it suddenly disappear?!”

“I’m unable to address recall NHTSA 25V572, Ford program 25S89, a rear camera issue affecting my 2015 Lincoln MKC. The dealership made two attempts ordering parts on backorder to address the recall at my service appointment today. After receiving parts last week, Ford told dealers they do not recommend installing these parts to address the recall—the dealer also said they do not know the procedure or replacement parts Ford will recommend to address the rear view camera recall on a later date. They also believe Ford will now replace the entire camera vs replace components. I have no problem with the approach to replace the camera if that’s the case. And I also realize this is not the dealership’s fault; however, there is a huge disconnect and communication gap from Ford quality that must be addressed. It’s been challenging to order parts for this recall and wait months, only to discover Ford no longer knows how to address a fix my vehicle needs. I appreciate if NHTSA could investigate ongoing issues and delay for this recall. I’m happy to provide more details if necessary. Thank you!”
