Consumer Description

MY 2011 LINCOLN MKX SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVING OFF THE EXPRESSWAY. THE ENGINE SUDDENLY TURNED OFF, GIVING ME A WRENCH TOOL ON THE DASH BOARD. LUCKILY HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE EXPRESSWAY AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE OFF THE FRONTAGE INTO A STORE. I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT BACK ON BUT TURNED OFF ON ME LIKE 3 MORE TIMES. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO MY DEALERSHIP RIGHT THE NEXT DAY THEY COULDN'T FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. SO I TOOK I TOOK IT HOME THEN STARTED NOTICING THAT MY TRUCK FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO TURN OFF SUDDENLY. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT SOUND IT LIKE IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, CAUSED BY A LEAK IN OIL. THEY CHANGED IT OUT AND MY TRUCK WORKS GOOD NOW. DOESN'T FEEL LIKE ITS GOING TO TURN OFF ALL OF A SUDDEN.
