| Mar 201776880 mi | Bottom of the door jamb lighted "Lincoln" logo on the passenger side never worked since I acquired my vehicle (used). Upon start up of the vehicle I've heard a noise and a few seconds later smoke started filling the car. I immediately shut off the car. After the visual inspection I've noticed that "LINCOLN" logo has a burn damage. Restarted a car, no further issues. Since car is out of warranty, decided not to repair. | ||
| Aug 201889900 miC $421 | Engine losing power, can drive only on hybrid system. Big yellow wrench comes up. Back to normal after restart. Finally Check Engine come up. Scanned P2112 - Throttle Stuck Closed. Ford had extended warranty on throttle body for Ford and Mercury 2010-2012, but Hybrid and Lincoln were excluded, although symptoms were the same. Had to pay out of pocket for repair. A/C system didn't work. Dealer said it was a minor leak, but couldn't find it. Recharged system and added dye. A/C worked as supposed. Due to cooler weather I didn't use A/C enough to go back for a verdict on where leak was from. | ||
