I have previously filed complaint on this vehicle with no satisfaction. I have a Lincoln 2015 MKZ. This vehicle has a low front end clearance which I believe to be a serious safety concern. The front bumper is only 7 1/2 inches off the ground. Most cars are at least 9 plus inches off the ground. This car can not traverse any type of graded driveway or access road. The front bumper constantly hits the ground which inevitably can and has caused damage to the vehicle. I.E. damage to wheels, radiator, lights, engine not to mention the bumper itself. I have contacted Lincoln and they are indifferent to my complaint. This should have been rectified years ago but was ignored by Lincoln. The company probably should have provided all owners of record of a Lincoln MKZ with a factory authorized lift kit which could have raised the bumper at least...
I drove my 2015 Lincoln MKZ in to my driveway which is not steep grade and the front bumper hit the drive way and ripped the bumper. This car has very low front end. I called Lincoln up and complained about this low bumper problem. Lincoln customer service just blew me off. They acted like I was first person ever to complain. When I told them that You Tube Video has this problem listed they ignored me. This would not be a big deal if the bumper was 2 piece and all that had to be replaced was a bumper guard but the replacemrnt bumper covers the whole front end. Replacement bumper runs between $500 - $700. Labor to replace bumper runs from $500 - $1000 depending on shop. This is outrageous. Lincoln knew of this problem for years and did nothing to fix the problem. The least Lincoln should...
THE FUEL DOOR LATCH GETS LOOSE AND OPENS BY ITSELF. IT BECOMES A SAFETY CONCERN ESPECIALLY ON A HIGHWAY THE FUEL DOOR MIGHT COME OFF. WHEN REVIEWING THIS PROBLEM WE FOUND MANY FORD VEHICLES HAS THIS ISSUE.
OUR VEHICLE IS LESS THAN YEAR OLD AND HAVE RUST COMPLETELY AROUND EDGE OF HOOD. OUR WARRANTY FOR CORROSION ENDS IN NOV 2019.....BUT LINCOLN/FORD HAS DENIED OUR CLAIM DUE TO NO 'PERFORATIONS' OCCURRING --YET.. SINCE LINCOLN/FORD USED INCOMPATABLE METALS ON THE RIM OF THEIR HOODS....WOULDN'T THIS BE CONSIDERED MFG. DEFECT?. I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT WE WOULD HAVE NEVER HAVE INVESTED $$$$ IN THIS VEHICLE. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER, THAT THE HOOD WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED....THEN THE TWO METALS (ONE DIRECTLY ON THE VEHICLE AND THE ONE AROUND THE SEAM OF THE HOOD) WILL BE COATED. WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. WE CANNOT RESELL VEHICLE OR MAYBE EVEN AFFORD REPAIRS SINCE WE ARE BOTH RETIRED. FORD MUST HAVE REALIZED THE TWO IMCOMPATABLE METALS WERE THE PROBLEM. NOW IT SEEMS THAT THEY ARE PLAYING WORD GAMES....
