NHTSA Complaint #10881440 — 2016 LINCOLN MKX

TOTAL LOSS OF POWER WHEN APPROACHING TRAFFIC LIGHT, NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO RESTART, FINALLY STARTED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS HILL ASSIST LIGHT (ON A COMPLETE LEVEL SURFACE AT TIME) VERY CLOSE CALL ON GETTING HIT AT INTERSECTION, UNSAFE SITUATION. ONCE ABLE TO RESTART CAR HAD VERY LIMITED POWER, WAS ABLE TO GET CAR TO DEALERSHIP APPROX 1 MILE AWAY, SERVICE ADVISOR IMMEDIATELY KNEW IT WAS A "THROTTLE BODY ISSUE" AND THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER, APPEARS THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS OCCURRENCES W/THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM, THIS IS A VERY VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE IN A AREA WHERE TRAFFIC WAS NOT AS HEAVY (STILL ALMOST HIT) BUT IF THIS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY OR BUSIER INTERSECTION THE OUTCOME MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN AS FAVORABLE.
