The fuel system was faulty on my 2008 MKX, my life as well as my family life was almost loss due to the fact that my MKX caught on fire. Everytime I would put gas in my truck when i got back in the cabin I always smell gas. One time when i was on my way to work I walked outside and smelled gas and when I looked under my truck I could see the gas leaking out at an alarming rate, i put a pan under it and went to work to tell them i need some time off cause if someone walk by my car smoking they would blow up, I got it fix and it was the fuel system and cost me 800 dollars and at that time the mileage was around 117000. Yesterday on fathers day I watch my MKX burn to the ground and me and my family almost didnt make it out. Lincoln knew about this problem since 2013 and have done nothing about it, to this day there are Innocence people driving these MKX and their life is in danger just like my family life was put in danger and they knew about the problem NHTSA campaign number 14V68200 (fuel system, gasoline) since 2013 here it is 2021 and I almost loss my family and they knew since 2013, 9 years later and i had the same problem and at the same mileage as these other complaints

Takata recall: Since receiving our airbag recall (over 1 year ago) we have been to our local dealership over 3 times and no parts are available to fix the recall and driving the vehicle can cause death. Local dealership stated no date for parts was given by Ford. Contacted Ford and no date given and no resolution to fix vehicle which is not drivable without the risk of death.

Takata recall we were driving down the road all of a sudden the wrench light come on and the speedometer quit working and tire pressure sensor monitor failure light came on. Then RPM picked up to 3000 was loosing power, drove 3 miles to nearest wide spot. Put vehicle in park cut engine off, let it sit, all lights went off, put it in reverse it jerked abnormally hard and when I put it in drive it would not pull out. Vehicle now will not drive forward at all. When we finally got home with our son I looked online to find that this vehicle has done this to other people. I went to you tube and typed in 2008 Lincoln Mkx and was amazed to find that others have had the same problem with this vehicle and it says its something with a speed sensors for the transmission. There are hundreds of compliants similar to mine. I feel if this were to happen to someone who was driving down the highway it could get them killed. Please look into to this and see if a recall needs done for the safety of everyone. Thanks
