As I was traveling home from work, I noticed the car jerk slightly and immediately decelerate. The engine temperature gauge light came on the dash and the temperature gauge immediately moved to the "H" position on the dash. Due to the fact that I was in rush hour traffic on the highway, I was worried I wouldn't have enough speed to get to the median. I turned on my hazards and coasted safely to the side of the road but was nearly ran over by other vehicles not realizing the issue I was having. I was unable to...

After research I found this is a design flaw with fords 3.5 Engine and millions of cars are on the road...

There was a recall for a ford fusion and a mercury milan for the same problem, but no recall for a lincoln mkz and no recall for a hybrid. Although they use exactly the same part number for a throttle body.

I had heard a wheezing noise in the front end so I took the car to my mechanic. He was unable to find a problem. A week after while driving the car I was driving and as I turned the car completely shut down. Two days later it began to not drive properly I took the car back to the mechanic and said I had a bad sensor but the water pump was going bad. He stated it shouldn't go bad in this newer of a car. My car has been undrivable ever since. I've called around to get it fixed as though it seems nobody has the proper tools to fix this issue due to the fact the whole engine needs to be removed to fix the problem.
