The backup camera intermittently fails when the vehicle is placed in reverse. The screen will either go completely black or show a distorted/blurred image, and it happens unpredictably. When the failure occurs, there is no usable rear visibility through the camera. This presents a significant safety hazard, especially when backing out of driveways, parking lots, and areas where pedestrians or children may be behind the vehicle.  Lincoln has already issued a recall for the same backup camera malfunction on later model-year MKT vehicles, and the symptoms on my vehicle are identical to those in the recall description. However, my VIN is not currently included. I am requesting that NHTSA review this issue for potential recall expansion, as the same defect appears to affect additional production years.

The driver side is fine, the defective part installed at Colonial Ford is the passenger side. This should be covered by Colonial Ford, as I'm at no fault for the time it took to find this defect which is not apparent until you place the vehicle on a lift and perform a professional inspection.   There are no warning lamps or messages to alert the owner there is a defective part that could cause a life threatening accident with a replaced suspension part.  Both Lincoln and Colonial Ford state there's nothing they can do because the replacement recall part is out of warranty, 1yr./12,000. I'd driven less than 3,000 miles when the defective replacement was found during a multi-point inspection at a different dealership. Also, the left rear toe link is fine, which proves the problem is with that specific part.

Restarting the car removed the warning light and the power steering worked again. The restart failed to clear the problem last week and I brought the vehicle into the dealership. I had found on several sites that vehicle in question is included in a Ford recall along with several other vehicle years, makes and models. Specifically, my car is sited stating 2011 to 2015 Lincoln MKT with any engine. The recall calls for replace the steering box and the assist control modular depending on the code the service person found. If the code showed differently, than a reset is to be preformed. Both of these at no charge to the owner. I advised the dealer of these sites that showed the recall. Ford has denied my VIN Number as being included in the recall. This comes despite the part that has failed is the exact same part described in the recall.  The dealer states the repair will cost $3,200.  Lincoln has expressed no concern that should the repair be unaffordable to owners the vehicles with this failure the vehicle is drivable, however without power steering a major safety issue is born. Lincoln claims only the part that was made in a certain plant will be covered. I understand them wanting to limit their damages by saying parts made by whoever their agent was for that group of parts have a defect and therefore the recall is limited to those with parts made by that agent. It would seem prudent if not just obvious if failures occur beyond cars with parts from the plant they have restricted the recall, that it be opened to all the parts made by any agent. Its easy to think that its not the way the part was made but the fail lies in the design or use of the part. And therefore the car manufacture is responsible for any vehicle that had the identical sister to the recall part installed.

THE FUEL FILLER RECEPTACLE, HOWEVER, WAS NOT SECURELY MOUNTED TO THE FRAME.  IT WAS MERELY MOUNTED ON A PLASTIC DISC AND GLUED TO A PLASTIC INTERIOR BODY PANEL.  THAT GLUED MOUNTING HAS NOW FAILED WITHIN THE 'BUMPER TO BUMPER' WARRANTY PERIOD, BUT WESTPORT/BAF HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR IT UNDER WARRANTY.  THEIR LOS ANGELES WARRANTY SERVICE PROVIDER HAS ALSO REFUSED TO PERFORM THIS REPAIR EVEN IF I PAY FOR IT.    THE ORIGINAL MOUNTING METHOD IS EXTREMELY WEAK AND WOULD RESULT IN SERIOUS OR CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE (E.G. GAS LEAK, FIRE, EXPLOSION) IF THE USER WERE TO 'DRIVE OFF' WITH THE DISPENSER HOSE ATTACHED.  ALL OF THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE RETROFITTED TO MEET NFPA REQUIREMENTS FOR MOBILE CNG SYSTEMS, INCLUDING THE ABILITY TO SURVIVE A 'DRIVE-OFF' WITHOUT SERIOUS OR CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE.      SEE NFPA SECTION 52 6.9.2 \"THE FUELING CONNECTION RECEPTACLE SHALL BE MOUNTED TO WITHSTAND THE BREAKAWAY FORCE SPECIFIED IN 7.11.6.2. (150 POUNDS IN ANY DIRECTION THE VEHICLE CAN MOVE)\"    IN ADDITION, I BELIEVE THIS MOUNTING VIOLATES NFPA 6.9.3 (RECEPTACLE NOT INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATIONS) AND 6.9.4 (INSUFFICIENT CLEARANCE TO PREVENT INTERFERENCE WITH OPERATION OF THE FUELING NOZZLE).    THIS FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REFUELED.  THE ONLY DAMAGE IN THIS CASE WAS TO THE RECEPTACLE MOUNTING.  THE MOUNTING WAS APPARENTLY NOT EVEN STRONG ENOUGH TO WITHSTAND THE FORCES OF CONNECTING AND DISCONNECTING THE FUELING HOSE AND NOZZLE DURING NORMAL FUELING OPERATIONS.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2013","productMake":"LINCOLN","productModel":"MKT","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]},{"odiNumber":10766434,"manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"09/08/2015","dateComplaintFiled":"09/21/2015","vin":"2LMHJ5AT9DB","components":"EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY","summary":"INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN DRIVING IN LIGHT TO MODERATE PRECIPITATION (RAIN OR SNOW), THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT SENSE A CAR IN FRONT OF IT YET IT WILL NOT DEFAULT TO \"OFF/ADAPTIVE CRUISE NOT AVAILABLE\".
