Description of the problem	While driving on a city street, vehicle did not respond to the accelator- no power to the vehicle and a "wrench" appeared on the dash board. Power train problem. Take vehicle immediately to your lincoln dealer. The car stopped and i was able to pull over. It seemed to be choking then stopped. Towed it to dealer - they ran diagnostic tests and found "nothing wrong with it". Two weeks later same thing happened. Fortunately i was on a city street again and able to move over. Had this happened n the freeway i am sure there would have been a major accident. Dealer again could find nothing again. Apparently the diagnostic tests are not effective. They recommended replacing the "throttle". That "might" be the problem. I am now very uncomfortable driving this vehicle and stay always in the right lane just in case it decides to die again. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle now. Apparently lincoln expects an owner to keep replacing parts - even though they might not be defective - and hope eventually the correct part is replaced. I am wondering about all the electronic "progress" we have supposedly made, why defective parts cannot be accurately detected. Way too much unnecessary functions on vehicles - creating too many chances for electrical errors. Where does it end? The car has only 37,000 miles on it and was very reliable - until now- now it is out of warranty - each replacement part, i am sure, will be costly - this is going to be a guessing game from now on.

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?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
