2011 Lincoln MKX electrical system problems

“The contact owns a 2011 Lincoln MKX. The contact's mother stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights unexpectedly illuminated. The contact's mother noticed a burning odor coming from the vehicle and observed that the power outlets were extremely hot. The contact's mother also experienced additional electrical issues with the alarm sounding unexpectedly, the power door locks failing to function properly, and the liftgate closing unexpectedly. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.”

“Body Control Module has developed an internal short that is causing safety systems not to work. It is also affecting the heating/ air conditioning, tire pressure monitoring system. This was recalled previously but the manufacturer wont do anything about it. I have had the vehicle at 2 separate dealerships who say the same thing, that the part is not available and can't be repaired. I called Ford directly and they are refusing to do anything about it since the old recall was performed but clearly never fixed the issue.”

“My dash touchscreen display became inoperable, no radio, no camera, no NOTHING My wiper blades come on by themselves and won't allow me to shut them off. The headlights remain on in the auto position... they won't shut off. Warning Lights on the dash comes on at times (lights up with lots of warnings) I'm no auto professional, but I think my issues are linked. I also, see that years ago there was a body control module recall that mentioned electrical shorts that could possibly cause a vehicle fire. OMG, I believe there's an electrical problem and I am hoping that the recall would cover these issues.”

“LIFT GATE WILL OPEN WITHOUT PROMPTING. HAVE PARKED THE VEHICLE AND WENT INSIDE AND COME BACK OUTSIDE AND LIFTGATE WILL BE OPEN. AT OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT OPEN OR CLOSE WHEN I PUSH THE BUTTON ON THE DASH OR THE REAR CARGO BUTTON OR KEY FOB BUTTON. CAMERA GOES FUZZY OR BLACKS OUT.”

“SIGNAL APPEARS ALL THE TIME SAYING DRIVER DOOR AJAR AND NOW THE PANIC ALARM GOES OFF ON ITS OWN MULTIPLE TIMES DAY AND NIGHT. KEY IS IN HOUSE WHEN ALARM GOES OFF. RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE, BUT I AM OVER MILEAGE BY 9,000. PORTSMOUTH FORD IN NH WHO I BOUGHT IT FROM WONT DO THE RECALL WORK.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 LINCOLN MKX. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE, THE REAR CAMERA WAS INOPERABLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS.
