NHTSA Complaint #11351426 — 2013 LINCOLN MKX

CAR WAS IN MOTION AT 65MPH ON A 4 LANE FREEWAY TRAVELING IN LANE 2 OR 3. IT MADE A LOUD THUD AND THE WRENCH ICON APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. AT THE SAME TIME, THE GAS PEDAL NO LONGER PROVIDED ACCELERATION AND THE ONLY THING I COULD DO WAS COAST TO A STOP, WHILE MANEUVERING THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. AFTER STOPPING I RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT FUNCTIONED PERFECTLY FINE. THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED. TWO MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE IN A FORWARD MOTION ON CITY STREETS...MADE A LOUD THUD, THE WRENCH ICON APPEARED. I WAS AT THE WEST SIDE OF A 4 LANE INTERSECTION AND BARELY HAD ENOUGH POWER TO COAST THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND PULL OVER ON THE EAST SIDE. AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF, IT STARTED UP FINE AGAIN. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT NOW
