| On 9.25.12, i tried to enter an expressway with an incline entrance ramp during rush hour. when i attempted to accelerate, the car began to sputter and shake, (sputtering under acceleration) and finally stopped in the expressway. the car never shut off, no engine lights appeared, and after about 5 minutes i was able to very slowly drive the car to the side of the expressway. for the next 20 minutes i was able to drive the car at 5-8 mph until reaching an exit and a parking lot. the car never turned off, never died, and no engine lights appeared while driving to the parking lot. once in the parking lot, i called a local lincoln dealer who advised me to turn off the car and restart it. after restarting the car, i was able to drive the mkz approximately 35 mph and was able to reach my home. since 9.25.12, i have driven the mkz once for a brief ride around the block and the car now appears to accelerate normally. the car has always had an unintended acceleration issue. when accelerating from a dead stop, the car does not accelerate in a smooth motion but rather a choppy manner where your body jerks back and forth. i have never taken the mkz into the dealership for the unintended acceleration and have just accepted this poor/choppy acceleration from a dead stop. *tr | |||

| I have a 2008 lincoln mkx which was purchased late 2008. if i am a stop at a light or intersection and it is on an incline, after i take my foot off the brake it will roll back until i brake or use the accelerator. on friday, sept. 17th, i was pulling out of a gas station which had a very steep incline and i had to come to a stop to allow for traffic before i left the station . i took my foot off the brake to try to accelerate and it rolled back severely almost hitting a gas tanker. i took it in to lincoln and had it looked at because i am still under warranty and they said there was never any 'hill assist' put on the normal characteristic of the car. the dealer advised me there was nothing they i could do, and then told me to use my fully automatic car like i was using a manual transmission and that i should brake and accelerate at the same time on a steep hill. i remind you that i'm still under warranty. this is a serious safety issue and somebody has to do something. either a pedestrian or another vehicle will be involved because of the roll back. | |||
