NHTSA Complaint #11286486 — 2011 LINCOLN MKZ

CAR IN QUESTION: 2011 LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID, 90,379 MILES DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, NO POWER FROM THE ENGINE WHEN APPLYING A THROTTLE. DUE TO A VEHICLE BEING A HYBRID, COAST ON BATTERY POWER TO A SHOULDER. THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR A FORD FUSION AND A MERCURY MILAN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALL FOR A LINCOLN MKZ AND NO RECALL FOR A HYBRID. ALTHOUGH THEY USE EXACTLY THE SAME PART NUMBER FOR A THROTTLE BODY.
