The contact owns a 2007 Lincoln Mkx. While driving at any speed, clicking and popping noises were heard from the rear of the vehicle. In addition, when the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to accelerate. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 140,000.
Approximately 18 months ago, I had the lower control arm replaced on my vehicle, as it was found to be faulty and covered under warranty. When replaced, I was told that I should not experience any additional problems with it. Today, I took my car back to the dealership, and I was told that the control arm was faulty again and needs to replaced. This time, it's not covered under warranty. In reading many of the complaints about this particular model year, I notice that many people have had the same issue, which leads me to believe that there is a manufacturer defect in the parts being used.
