2012 LINCOLN MKX Engine Problems

Entering I-294 express ramp, vehicle was not accelerating beyond 40mph. then as I entered highway it shut down completely. I coasted to the right shoulder. The dash displayed a "low oil pressure" alert. So I did not attempt to restart the car. When I had it towed home, I checked the oil level and it was full. Nothing like this happened before. The vehicle is almost 12 years old with 167,000 miles. Had this happened in traffic on the expy, I could have been creamed by other cars or a truck. I am going to the dealer today to investigate but this seems like an anomaly where the engine shuts down because the computer thinks there is a catastrophic failure that is not really happening.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 LINCOLN MKX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE TO REGAIN NORMAL FUNCTION, BUT THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MAYAGUEZ FORD CALLED MARGINAL MAYAGUEZ, PUERTO RICO, 00681; PHONE 787-805-3673. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC, WHICH LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE ENGINE PURGE VALVE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELATOR- NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE AND A "WRENCH" APPEARED ON THE DASH BOARD. POWER TRAIN PROBLEM. TAKE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY TO YOUR LINCOLN DEALER. THE CAR STOPPED AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. IT SEEMED TO BE CHOKING THEN STOPPED. TOWED IT TO DEALER - THEY RAN DIAGNOSTIC TESTS AND FOUND "NOTHING WRONG WITH IT". TWO WEEKS LATER SAME THING HAPPENED. FORTUNATELY I WAS ON A CITY STREET AGAIN AND ABLE TO MOVE OVER. HAD THIS HAPPENED N THE FREEWAY I AM SURE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. DEALER AGAIN COULD FIND NOTHING AGAIN. APPARENTLY THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS ARE NOT EFFECTIVE. THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE "THROTTLE". THAT "MIGHT" BE THE PROBLEM. I AM NOW VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND STAY ALWAYS IN THE RIGHT LANE JUST IN CASE IT DECIDES TO DIE AGAIN. I...

I NOTICED A FEW DAYS AGO WHEN I WAS IN TRAFFIC MY BRAKES DIDN'T WANT TO HOLD. I PRESSED REALLY HARD AND ONLY THEN DID MY CAR STOPPED. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID MY BRAKES LOOKED GREAT. TWO DAYS AGO I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A FAULTY VALUE AND THAT MY BRAKES WERE FINE. WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE THE DEALER MY CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND MY BRAKES FAILED I WAS THANKFUL THAT THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK TO THE DEALER. THE MANAGER CAME AND CHECKED IT OUT AND HE SAID THE BOOSTER PART OF THE BRAKES WERE DEFECTED...
