| Description of the problem | We have been having ongoing issues over the past 6 months, at least. The car has been in to the dealer 3 times for same thing. Some of the issues i have read regarding the f150 are the issues i am having with my 2010 lincoln mks. Driving highway, cruise will fall off, you feel it somewhat jerk off. Cruising later and it falls off again, then you cannot determine if it will continue running or die. It shutters, jerks, it seems to lose power. It seems to happen after about 20 minutes of highway driving. It is very intermittent, but has been more frequent lately. It does seem to stumble/misfire. Jerking around, not sure if it will die. The tack jumps considerable during these incidents. Concerns to take on longer journeys. There are times it is jerky and not certain if it will go or kill when i have also left a stop light. The last 2 incidents june 18th and the one on june 15th were very concerning, seems to be getting worse. We were unsure if we should continue on our way to appleton from fond du lac, about 40 minutes of highway driving as it was kind of twitching and dropping off the cruise, then the jerking as to if it could kill with the tachometer going to 5 and jumping back and forth. Something is just not right. I drive 25 minutes to work each day and it does happen on and off, hit and miss, nothing regular to it for how often.
