Well since we are digging up an old thread and I have been pretty quiet around here... just a little update.
I am now going on a total of 4 times being stranded with a dead car, 5 service department visits and a total of 38 days without my vehicle (and counting as the MKC has been at the dealer since last Friday).
They have replaced some module under the steering column and battery after the first incident, the body control module after the second incident yet problems still continue. Now my Safety Restraint System Module has failed, no airbag operation... apparently they don't want me driving it in that condition.
Have been in contact numerous times now with follow up by Valerie Houston with Lincoln... at my second dealership (per Lincoln's advice) for service.
Upside... They did the TSB for the heated seats and they did the TSB for the rough transmission shifts... which actually seems to be way better.
Downside... the clock still loses 3-4 minutes daily, the dash lighting won't retain its settings day to night, the odometer is gaining 1 mile every 50 compared to multiple GPS and road based sources, same Satellite radio drop outs everyone has and oh yeah, if I leave it for a week while traveling I most likely will come back to a dead vehicle.
I love the looks, the way it drives (especially now with the Transmission acting correctly) I have been driving Ford products for over 30 years... so I love the way it feels. Just wish they could figure out what is responsible for all the electrical gremlins and knock it out.
