| Description of the problem | Takata recall we were driving down the road all of a sudden the wrench light come on and the speedometer quit working and tire pressure sensor monitor failure light came on. Then rpm picked up to 3000 was loosing power, drove 3 miles to nearest wide spot. Put vehicle in park cut engine off, let it sit , all lights went off , put it in reverse it jerked abnormally hard and when i put it in drive it would not pull out. Vehicle now will not drive forward at all. When we finally got home with our son i looked online to find that this vehicle has done this to other people. I went to you tube and typed in 2008 lincoln mkx and was amazed to find that others have had the same problem with this vehicle and it says its something with a speed sensors for the transmission. There are hundreds of compliants similar to mine. I feel if this were to happen to someone who was driving down the highway it could get them killed. Please look into to this and see if a recall needs done for the safety of everyone. Thanks |
