2013 Lincoln MKX Steering Problems

“My vehicle's power shut down without any warning on busy city street (3 lane road). I was unable to steer or brake. I had to coast off the road until car stopped. Then I put it into park. It restarted and drove fine after the restart. Very scary. Thankful I wasn't driving 70 MPH on busy interstate. Throttle body replaced recently as engine had been bucking and wasn't accelerating when gas pedal was depressed.”

“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. …”

“So far this has happened now 4 times. While driving my care at 35 MPH, my car will lose all power as well as the steering wheel will lock. My car will began to go in its own direction and I have to bring the car to a complete stop in the middle of traffic, put it in park and turn it off and start it back up again. I have two children and losing not only the power of the vehicle but also the steering is very concerning. I have contacted Lincoln and they have let me know that this is a valid recall for over 83,000 vehicles made in the same year but it is not on my vehicles recall list. …”

“Steering locked & power stopped. Interior dash lights remained on. Reversed out of a parking spot, shifted to drive & steering locked. I was barely rolling forward. Braked, put on flashers, shifted to park & restarted. A couple of days earlier it happened, but twice ? !”
