“I've been smelling gas and I thought it might have been from other cars on the road until today when my car started making a loud noise sounding like it was coming from the passenger front side.it stalled out on me around a month ago for no reason and when I went to park it today I kept smelling gas and noticed it's my vehicle.”

“Transmission fluid was leaking. Was told it was not covered under my warranty as the transmission cooler was damaged by stones. I asked for the part and detected that there were many stones embedded in he transmission cooler. This is a defect that Lincoln will not admit to. Potential hazard if you spring a leak while driving on the highway.”

“Our vehicle was involved in a rear end crash while stopped at a pedestrian cross walk. The visual damage to our Lincoln MKX was the exhaust system and rear bumper. The non-visual damage was the brake power booster. The power surge from the rear end impact while the brakes were engaged caused the brake power booster to fail. Both my mechanic and the local ford dealer confirm that the failure of the brake system was caused by the damage related to the rear end impact in the accident. …”
