2013 Lincoln MKT Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1610139

Model	MKT
Model Year	2013
File date	15/10/19
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	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 do not auto-lock again. When the vehicle is turned off, it does not recognize the key and the vehicle won't start, but the key-fob still works for unlocking and locking the vehicle. The tailgate button on the outside of the vehicle and on the key-fob will not work, however, the tailgate button inside of the vehicle does work. The vehicle will not go into an auxillary mode. If the vehicle is not turned off and continues to be driven, the car will "come to" after 30 plus minutes and work normally again. If the vehicle is turned off, it won't restart from anywhere of 1-30 minutes. When it restarts, everything is normal again. Dealer shows no error codes and doesn't yet know how to fix it. My best guess is that there is a computer issue, as some parts of the vehicle are fine, but others stop working. Issue started in june 2018, has yet to be fixed by lincoln. Usually happens 2-4 times a month. Latest it happened was 10-15-2019. Many videos of issue.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
