“Engine recall once I try to stick it in park, it tells me transmission is not in park! Does this every time I try to put it in park! My car isn't even 2 years old yet and just hit 30,000 miles! Very frustrating!”

NHTSA complaint #10944202, filed 2017-01, 30,000 miles

“While traveling on interstate 90 a approx 60 MPH. The vehicle started slowing down. I looked at the speedometer and it read 0. Seconds later the dash power flashed and went completely dark. I'm had absolutely no power at 60mph on an interstate. Fortunately, I was able to cruise along at make it to the next exit and stop on the side of the road. Once stopped, I took gear out of drive and put it in park. I push the start button and it started up. Fortunately, I was able to make it home but I was completely terrified that it would happen again. …”

NHTSA complaint #11233991, filed 2019-07, 27,000 miles

“Shift car into park and the car is clearly in park but on the dash the p does not illuminate which causes an error message of transmission not in park when you turn the car off. If you turn the car off while the error message is showing, all auxiliary components (heat, radio, etc) stay on and your battery goes dead. Occurs nearly every day, each time the vehicle is put into park .”

NHTSA complaint #11152616, filed 2018-11, 50,000 miles

“The contact owns a 2015 Lincoln MKX. While driving approximately 25 MPH, the vehicle experienced a complete loss of power and the low oil pressure warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the computers had a glitch, which triggered a false warning indicator that resulted in loss of power. The technician was unable to remedy the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 1,000.”
