I love my Lincoln Mkx. High performance vehicle of safety and luxury and in comfort and style. I love it. However, my gas is terrible and the car acts like it is going to loose power as the gas isn't getting a full line to go through. I haven't had this problem until 2-3 months ago. My gas mileage is very poor now> to have this fixed there gas been a safety recall for over 1 year maybe 2 years now. I have been on a toi call list agt local dealer to get it fixed. When is this going to happen., you guys owe me tons of wasted gas.
The Lincoln in question belong to my wife who is the title holder of the car. I was using my wife's car on 06/14/2018 and was backing out of a parking area at union and Liberty street in milford, mi, I came to the street at the end of the parking area, I pushed the break to stop so that I could continue onto union street as soon I applied the break, the car accelerated at high speed backward and even though I was pressing the break it didn't stop until crashing into a home next to the parking area. The speed of acceleration was so intense that from start to finish it was over in a matter of seconds.I was so shook up that that my mind was not able to compute what had just happened. The car was damaged on the passengers side of the car, but it took out porch and the window area of the house.the car showed no damage that would prevent it from being able to drive, yet when I attempted to drive a few blocks to my home, the power steering wasn't working and the car kept steering to the right shoulder of the road. This led me to believe there is something worng with the engine
