2018 LINCOLN MKX Electrical System Problems

The rear view camera is intermittent. The camera listed for replacement is F2GZ19G490C. That was a recall item listed for the problem that we are having . It is intermittent and is a safety hazard as indicated in the LINCOLN MKX 2015 THRU 2019. WHY IS IT INDICATED AS NOT HAVING A RECALL TO MY 2018 LINCOLN MKX VIN [XXX] . IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CAMERA F2GZ19G490C IS THE CAMERA LISTED AS THE REPLACEMENT AND THEY LIST IT AT FORD FOR $560.68. THE REPAIR DEPARTMENT TOLD ME IT WAS OVER $600 AND IT WOULD COST $1300 TO FIX IT. SOMETHING IT IS WRONG HERE BECAUSE i CAN GET THE REPLACEMENT FOR ABOUT $60 DOLLARS. IT LOOKS LIKE A DENIAL OF SERVICE UNDER A RECALL AND A REDICULOUS AMOUNT TO REPAIR THE DEFECTIVE ITEM WITH THE SAME TYPE. i WOULD LIKE TOO GET AN EXPLANATION ON THIS . [XXX]...

WE HAD OUR FIRST INCIDENT ON AUG 2 WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING. CAR STALLED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND SHE RESTARTED IT . TRANSMISSION WAS IN DRIVE AND SHE STARTED TO ACCELETE TO GO AHEAD. THE CAR ITSELF WENT INTO REVERSE AND ALMOST HIT THE CAR BEHIND HER. SHE WAS EXTREMELY SHAKEN AND REFUSED TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. SHE CALLED A TOWTRUCK TO TAKE IT TO OUR DEALER. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM SO INSTALLED AN ELECTRICAL DEVICE TO RECORD ANOTHER INCIDENT. IT THEN HAPPENDED WHEN I WAS DRIVING, ONLY 2 DAYS AFTER WE PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALER. I WAS DRIVING ON A 50 MPH ROAD WHEN THE "ENGINE HAS SHUTDOWN" FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL I GOT IT RESTARTED AND TRIED TO CONTINUE DRIVING.ABOUT 10 DIFFERENT FAULT CODES APPEARED AND WE TOOK CELL PHOTOS OF EACH CODE. IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN A FEW MILES...
