2013 LINCOLN MKT Visibilitywiper Problems

Rear camera requires replacement approx. every 3 years Images start getting reversed or upside down, then very grainy and then the camera completely fails altogether. When the camera fails you get a warning stating " Camera is unavailable please contact the dealership" I have put 2 cameras in the vehicle, both were Motorcraft parts purchased at the dealership. When I purchased the vehicle the dealership that sold the car to me indicated they had replaced the camera in July of 2022 with an aftermarket unit that failed on me in November of 2022. These cameras frequently fail, it is widely reported across all Ford/Lincoln vehicles. Edge, Explorer, Flex, MKT, MKX being the most widely spoken about.

I'VE PURCHASED MY 2013 LINCOLN MKT AWD ECOBOOST ON 1-5-2020. TWO DAYS AFTER BUYING IT, I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON STATED PO420 CATALYST SYSTEM EFFICIENCY BELOW THRESHOLD BANK 1. THE SECOND ROW'S SEATBELT WON'T COME OUT PROPERLY. CAN'T HAVE ANYONE SIT AT THAT SEAT. FOR SOME REASON I AM UNABLE TO USE MY WINDSHIELD WATER NOZZLE (NOT SURE WHAT'S IT CALLED). I'VE BEEN GETTING A MESSAGE STATING POWER STEERING FAULT, I TURN OFF THE CAR THEN TURN IT BACK ON AND IT GOES AWAY. THANK GOD THE STEERING WHEEL FAULT NEVER GAVE ME ISSUES WHILE DRIVING. AS OF LAST WEEK, I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR B/C OF THE POWER STEERING FAULT. NOT TOO HAPPY WITH THIS VEHICLE. I'VE HAD IT LESS THEN A YEAR AND ALREADY HAVING SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. *TR

ALL ABILITY TO CONTROL THE HVAC IS LOST WHILE IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE ALLOWS ME TO SELECT ANY FUNCTION I ASK OF IT ON THE CENTER STACK LIKE AC, HEAT, FEET VENTS, DEFROST WITH A CONFIRMING LIGHT AND "BOOP" SOUND, HOWEVER ONLY HOT AIR BLOWS OUT THE DEFROSTER VENT AND IT CANNOT BE TURNED OFF WITHOUT TURNING THE WHOLE VEHICLE OFF. IN COOLER WEATHER, ESPECIALLY WHEN RAINING, THE WINDOWS FOG UP AND VISIBILITY IS LOST. OTHER SYSTEMS AFFECTED ARE THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTONS INSIDE THE CAR. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT INTO PARK AND THE UNLOCK BUTTON IS PRESSED, A SOFT CLICK CAN BE HEARD, HOWEVER THE CAR STAYS LOCKED. THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THE DOORS IS TO USE THE KEYFOB. IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. ALSO, ONCE THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED AND THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN TO A CERTAIN SPEED, THE LOCKS...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 LINCOLN MKT. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR BECAME SMUDGED AND THE DRIVER COULD NOT SEE OUT OF THE MIRROR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,000.
