“It started months ago with a strange humming noise coming from the back of the car on the right side ,where the gas tank is. It would come and go very couple of weeks. My mechanic checked it out and found nothing. One day, with the humming sound very loud , the car lost power while driving, almost crashed. Had it towed back to the mechanic ,who I trust and again could find nothing. I called a Lincoln dealer and they knew nothing of a gas pump recall. My mechanic looked up on edmonds and noticed their was a recall on fuel pumps for the mkc but my car missed the inclusion date by a month. …”
