Tonight I came home from a business trip where I had left my MKC on Sunday morning at the local airport. Got back to 24 degrees and a completely dead MKC in long term parking. I had a feeling something was up as I tried to start it numerous times with my iPhone app just getting a communications error.
So after monkeying around, freezing outside the vehicle, trying to get that **** emergency key out of the key fob.. I finally got into the car to stow my luggage. Airport security sucks and was no help, but the ticket booth folks had a jump box. I got the MKC started and let it run a while to warm up.
Now the fun stuff... the list of what works is shorter then what doesn't. Some computer something must have taken a crap as now the following is non-working/non-responsive:
Non of the steering wheel buttons work.
No rear wiper.
No front washer, no ability to push down the wiper stalk for a quick wipe or auto wipe or delayed wipe.
No Cruise Control.
No Lane Keeping.
No AWD (Big Error on the left display about it and that it needs services).
No Brights.
No Turn signals (this is a big deal).
Tilt and Telescope button does not work.
Temp and Time non-existent on MFT.
DRLs don't work.
Now... paddle shifters do work.. but I am not sure the suspension is actually switching modes when going to sport. It's usually very noticeable when I go from Comfort to Sport.
So its going to the dealer tomorrow with all the above problems. Along with my existing complaint about the clock loosing time, the instrument light level not being retained and the Satellite radio cutting out in big city areas.
At least they will give me another Lincoln to drive while they figure out what took a crap on mine.
What a night....
