One morning I started the car and it was running rough. Soon after the engine light went on. We contacted the Ford dealership and they advised us that they could not examine the vehicle until next week and advised us to go to the local car dealership who would run a diagnostic and we code take the results to the dealership and they would check the error code for what may be causing the engine light to come on. We took the car to a local car parts store who ran a diagnostic then took the error code to the local Ford dealership who informed us that the error code showed a problem with misfire of some kind and they could not look at the car until the follwowing week. The dealership stated it was okay to drive the car until next week when they can look further into the problem. We drove the car for a few days when the car showed that it was overheating. We then took the car to a car parts store near by (different from the previous car part store) who found the car was low on antifreeze and refilled the car with antifreeze. A few days later the Ford dealership examed the car and found the engine was leaking antifreeze into the cylinder. The dealership infomed us that service advisory that this was a know problem with this Make and Model of vehicle and stated this was a "design flaw" with this engine.

I purchased this vehicle less than 30 days. It had 29,257 miles. From day one, the vehicle came with no heating. When you push for heat, the cold AC blows. The part is in national back order. Secondly, when driving car at 20- 45 miles there is vibration, like a window is down when on a highway, but I'm driving in my neighborhood with all windows up. The vibration is unbearable. Thirdly and most importantly, when I slow to break, the car revs up, as if it won't stop. This is very unsettling. I'm never at ease because of this. This is a newer vehicle. There's a Toyota Camry 2011 and a Mitsubishi Outlander 2018 outperforming my newer Lincoln MKC 2019. I'm now afraid to drive the MKC because of the safety concerns. I just bought the car in October 5, 2022. I've reported this to corporate Lincoln. I don't understand why there hasn't been a recall. I do notice a flood of these vehicles in the market for sale. I'm afraid to drive this vehicle.

My 2019 Lincoln MKC has a coolant leak internal the engine. It is a known issue listed on the TSB (Technical Service Bulletin), however, Lincoln does not want to knowingly issue a recall. It has been informed as well per a Lincoln Dealership Service Advisor that several Lincoln-??s have been in the dealership with this specific issue In which they feel that Lincoln should issue a recall, however, has not due to them not wanting to be responsible for replacing multiple engines due to the financial expense. I have spoken to Lincoln corporate in which they agreed to assist with the expense, however, will not cover the full amount. I have researched as well as paid over $600 to have a Auto shop confirm that the issue being experienced is not something that one can cause themselves directly to a vehicle regardless of the mileage. This is a 2019 Lincoln MKC in which should absolutely not be taking place as well unsafe and concerning with having a minor traveling in the vehicle. TSB 19-2208

While driving my vehicle on a highway, smoke started to come from the hood. This is approximately 10-15 minutes after I had been driving the vehicle. The smoke became worse and luckily I was able to pull over to turn the vehicle off. The smoke continued to intensify and started to come through the vents. I exited the vehicle and saw fire underneath the the car. Not too long after the entire hood of the vehicle was engulfed in flames, which cause the windshield to bust. The fire department was called and was able to put the fire out. The fire report (xxx)deemed this as accidental and believe a mechanical fire.

Vehicle shut down completely while driving on the highway. The error message "the vehicle has shut down" appearedin on the dashboard. Had there been a Transport trailer behind us, we could have been killed. Ford customer service is doing nothing for us. Very disappointing as my mother now has to drive a vehicle that she is afraid to drive. This car is unsafe!
