Description of the problem	I just purchased a 2008 lincoln mkx in march. The car ran great until i went on a road trip in the beginning of july. I drove about a couple 1000 miles. My last day of my trip on july 12 my car started acting up. It had a hard time shifting between gears. I would push down on the gas peddle and it took it a long time to accelerate. I finally made it to my destination. I turned off the car. When i went to start it back up it started. But when i out it in drive it wouldn't move, nor in reverse and could not get it in to neutral. Had it towed to a shop. Where after further examination to transfer case went out int turn ruined the transmission. Never a sign that anything was wrong until that july 13. I talk to the shop that says he has fixed 3 other lincolns with the same problem. If you look online there are tons of complaints about this same problem. Seems to me ford needs to recall both the transfer case and transmission. Now i am having to put more money in it then its worth. The total cost for repair and labor is $6296. 22. If it keeps happening to other people over and over with the same problem then ford should have to be held accountable for selling defective product. I hope something can be done, especially since this as nothing to do with the driver but the manufacturer who has made a faulty product.
