2007 Lincoln Mark LTElectrical system

While driving on the expressway, multiple system warning lights suddenly appeared on the dash with the message 'engine failsafe mode'. The engine immediately shut off and I lost power steering and power brakes while moving at highway speed. I was able to coast to the shoulder and the truck would not restart. The vehicle ran perfectly prior to this malfunction and there was no warning that a problem may exist. A mechanic determined that the Power Control Module (PCM) was corrupted and required reprogramming. I...

purchased a refurbished PCM and had it programmed by a locksmith to my VIN. The faulty PCM is still in my possession and available for inspection. This is a very dangerous condition that could have resulted in a crash. Fortunately, this malfunction occurred on a Saturday morning with light traffic during daylight hours. I am scared this will happen again in the future because the cause for the PCM failure is unknown. The towing fee, diagnosis and repair created a considerable financial expense on my behalf.

2007 Lincoln Mark LTTransmission & drivetrainAcceleration & cruise control

The truck's transmission shutters, so the whole truck vibrates. This is a huge safety issue. It causes the truck to slow down and overdrive does not kick in. So you have to slow down and force the truck to shift. This is a 5.4 Triton motor. I did change the plugs and coil packs. This job is not cheap. If you look at the ford forums I am one of thousands. If you shut the over drive off problem is fixed but you can't drive over 55 without toasting the motor and using a huge amount of fuel. It appears this happens very frequently. This should be a recall issue. Http://m.Carcomplaints.Com/ford/f-150/2004/transmission/no_overdrive.Shtml
