Recall was issued on May 31, 2023 for this problem. As of this date, Jan 19, 2024 this recall has not been completed. All I get from factory and dealers is that the part is not available. The recall says that parts ARE available. As the recall notice states, "park vehicle outside until repairs are completed". As it has been approx 8 months, this became a nuisance long ago. I would just like to know when and if this recall, repair will be made. Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I have taken my vehicle into my Dealership Service Department once in July, called twice as instructed by the Service Manager in June and August. The battery sensor is not available. I have called two other Dealerships within 30 miles from my home and the part is not available. I have had my battery jumped from the Lincoln Roadside Assistance in the evening after work, the car voltage is currently very low and the car pulls or slows while I am driving. I am concerned and I do not feel safe in driving my vehicle.

First incident: My daughter was in the vehicle in our driveway in March 2022 and was leaving. She came running inside and told me she hit the start button and that the vehicle did not start, but started to roll down the driveway with the steering wheel locked in position. She was stepping on the brakes and the vehicle continued to roll out into the street until it finally stopped when it hit the curb across the street. She stated the brakes did not work. She hit the start button again and the vehicle started and she drove it back into our driveway to tell me about the incident and the loss of brakes and steering. Second incident: 5/9/22, my daughter was parked at the gas station with 2 friends. After putting gas in the car, she hit the start button and the car did not start, but instead started rolling forward with the steering wheel locked and no brakes. She kept pumping the brakes and nothing would stop the car. She started hitting buttons on the dashboard in an attempt to get the vehicle to stop, but it ran into the yellow bollard at the gas station and scraped the entire passenger side of the vehicle. She pressed the start button and held it down for several seconds before that made the vehicle finally stop. Her two friends corroborated that the vehicle would not stop even though she was frantically pressing the brakes. We now have approximately $4,000 worth of damage down the passenger side of the vehicle. My daughter is afraid to drive the vehicle anymore as this is the second time the vehicle failed to start, started moving, the steering wheel was locked, and the BRAKES did not work to stop the vehicle.

Now on my 3rd Battery in 3 months. A section in front of the battery gets very hot. It's a section with a lot of thick wires coming together. Most of the time my car will not start, I just have to keep moving wires until I get a connected for the car to start. I expecting the car to start a fire or a battery explosion pretty soon. l researched 2017 Lincoln MKC's and it seems this is a car with a lot of electrical problems. There needs to be some type of recall to redo the battery connections before someone gets hurt. I will print this notice in case of a battery or electrical issue arrives in a casualty so I can sue that this has been reported. Thanks

I started the vehicle, the sync system went through a restart, killing the engine and turning off the dashboard panels. It had happened before on a level surface, but this time I was on a 10-15% grade. I stopped again, turned the vehicle off and returned about 15 minutes later. I was on a slight hill, with the elevation lower in front of the vehicle. I started the car and stepped completely out within 10-15 seconds. I stepped outside the vehicle, which had been running for 10-15 seconds. The hatch was open and two friends behind could clearly see through the vehicle, to know that I didn't touch the push button transmission. The vehicle started rolling down the hill. I jumped in, but the brakes didn't work and the instrument panel was dark. It stopped rolling when it collided against a parked truck approximately 50 feet in front. The engine was off when it stopped. I think the recycle of the sync system caused an intermittent malfunction of the electrical system, causing the brakes, steering and pushbutton transmission to become non-operable. This resulted in damage of $8568 to my Mkc and of $1512 to the parked truck. Since this is an intermittent incident, it can't be replicated at a dealer even if it happened, it would be on a level surface and would not roll. I have driven the vehicle for an additional 7 months and 8,819 miles. The current mileage is 27,474. During that time, the vehicle has started and then gone through an electrical recycle which caused the engine to turn off at least 5 times. Two of those times were on a flat surface. I ran over a cooncrete curb a month ago. Tonight it happened in my driveway & ran up onto my front porch, which has a step up of about 6 inches. I called Lincoln concierge to report the 2nd incident. They told me that they could do nothing until the problem was recreated in a garage - or it kills or injures someone.

The windshield wipers on the Lincoln Mkc malfunction in the rain. I experienced several instances where, under flood advisory conditions, the windshield wipers did not work. I turned the car on and off several times. I change the wiper automation settings several times and still the wipers would not work. I believe this is a very hazardous issue for anyone driving a 2017 Lincoln Mkc and do not believe it should be taken lightly under any circumstances when lives are at hand. In the above set instance I was driving during the day with rain sleet and snow under flood advisory conditions.
