NHTSA Complaint #10887833 — 2016 LINCOLN MKX

2016 LINCOLN MKX HAS STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES. WE LEFT HOME AND HAD DRIVEN ABOUT A MILE IN OUR SUBDIVISION WHEN I SLOWED FOR AND STOPPED AT STOP SIGN. THE ENGINE SHUDDERED AND SHOOK, ENGINE REVOLUTIONS SLOWED DOWN. SPED UP, SLOWED DOWN AND ENGINE QUIT. THE MESSAGE, "FULL ACCESSORY POWER ACTIVE' DISPLAYED ON THE DASH AND MY WIFE GOT A PAD AND PENCIL AND COPIED IT DOWN FOR ME. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THAT HAS HAPPENED AND EVIDENTLY WAS THE SAME MESSAGE DISPLAYED WHEN THE ENGINE QUIT WHILE WE WERE ON VACATION IN NEW ORLEANS. CHECKED THE INTERNET AND FOUND SEVERAL INSTANCES TO THIS HAPPENING DUE TO A COMPUTER GLITCH. FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME. DO WE HAVE TO GET KILLED BEFORE FORD CORRECTS THEIR FAULTY COMPUTERS? TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, I HAD SCHEDULED AND APPOINTMENT WITH MY DEALER, DROVE 31 MILES, ONLY TO FIND OUT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF MY APPOINTMENT. SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER ON 21 JULY AND HE TOLD ME HE WOULD SEND ME AN EMAIL BY THE END OF THE WEEK. WELL THE END OF THE WEEK IS HERE AND I'VE NOT HEARD ANYTHING YET. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE MKX IS A GLORIFIED FORD EDGE AND THAT THE STALLING PROBLEMS WERE ON-GOING FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
