My fuel pump driver module which supplies power to the fuel pump stopped working and had to be replaced at 48,222 miles. Luckily, the car was not in driving mode. It would just not start in my driveway. It had to be towed to the Lincoln dealership and it was diagnosed that the module located behind the rear seat back failed. That was a $488.64 bill. I now see that this is only covered with the 3.5 turbo Mks, however, they are the same vehicles just with the turbo feature. I do feel that my situation is related to the safety recall. The vehicle would crank but the module prevented the electronic fuel pump from working. How can I receive some form of compensation for the repair of $488.64"?" that module should not have failed with a vehicle only having 48,222 miles on it. The car is in top pristine condition. I purchased another oem Ford unit for a backup if this should occur again. I cannot afford another $500 service bill for this issue. I will have my Lincoln dealer research the new oem part so that it also will not fail.

My 2013 Mks is stalling whiling driving numerous times, almost caused an accident a few days ago. There is a recall on 2013 Mks fuel module because it cuts out while driving. However, after calling Lincoln I am told that my Lincoln Mks 2013 is not on the recall list. Lincoln refuses to acknowledge that my 2013 Mks is experiencing the same issue where engine stall while driving. Because my VIN number is not on the recall list. I originally took the car or my mechanic because I needed it looked at right away as it's extremely unsafe. My mechanic alerted me to the recall. I don't understand how Lincoln thinks my car does not apply to recall.

My vehicle's fuel pump electronic control module failed and my vehicle would not start. There is a recall for this issue for the same model year, however my VIN number is not included in this recall. I paid for and had the fuel pump electronic control module replaced at the Lincoln dealership. The date notated below is in reference to when this incident occured. The other issue involves the manufacturer's optional 20 inch wheels. When the vehicle is equipped with these wheels, it causes the adaptive suspension to not work properly, creating a very harsh ride. This harsh ride was not disclosed as a side effect on the manufacturer's website, and it defeats the purpose of having an adaptive suspension system. It also increases the risk of bending the wheels when driving over potholes which is what the adaptive suspension system is advertised to avoid.
