Purchased vehicle used in November 2015. Noticed every time I put gasoline in the vehicle, it would not start on the first attempt. Months later, check in light come on, took vehicle to a Ford dealership (in 2016) and was told nothing was wrong with the vehicle. As time went on, the issue with refueling and engin light countied. In 2017 while driving on the highway in rush hour traffic, a warning light appeared (low oil engin pressure) and the vehicle stalled. Dealership said it was the throttle body and replaced it. About a week later, engin light appeared and one month later received same low oil pressure and the vehicle stalled out again while driving. Vehicle has not been repaired, currently in the shop.

On Tuesday 10/3/2017 around 5:35 pm we were driving the 2013 Mkx on callaghan road under construction and stopped behind another car waiting for the one lane traffic to move forward when the Mkx unexpectedly revved up and lunged towards the rear of the car in front of us. We immediately recognized this as sua sudden unintended acceleration. The driver had to apply additional pressure on the brakes to hold the car back.

This has been a continuous issue when using the cruise control at any speed. When the cruise control is on, and the vehicle is traveling on a downhill slope, there is a noise coming from under the hood while it is trying to maintain the speed. The sound is something like a humming/grinding/ticking noise. I have had multiple technicians go for a drive with me to try diagnose the issue and they have all said that there is an issue. However, to date, they have not been able to fix it and the last technician said it must be a normal noise, even though no other Lincoln I have test drove can recreate the noise.
