NHTSA ODI 11674202

I purchased my 2017 Lincoln MKZ Select on November 11, 2024. The vehicle was determined to need a new engine, per Murgado Lincoln of Chicago. They had my car for over 48 days while putting in a new engine. After this was completed the car had to be sent back due to a mistake the mechanics made by not attaching a gasket properly. After this, I began experiencing odd noises underneath the hood and throughout the vehicle; delayed timing belt in both acceleration and deceleration, and so forth. I was then involved in a hit-and-run car accident (not my fault). All side airbags deployed and my passenger side rear wheel is destroyed. I had this car assessed just a few days ago by a certified Auto Care Company who said I needed a completely new transmission and that this car is not street legal at the moment... insurance is not helping me at all.

I WAS STATIONARY BEHIND A CAR TURNING LEFT ON HWY 154 S IN COWETA CO, GA, WHEN I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER AUTOMOBILE GOING APPROXIMATELY 50+ MPH. THE DRIVER WHO HIT ME NEVER APPLIED HIS BRAKES, WHICH PUSHED MY CAR INTO THE SUV IN FRONT OF ME. THE CAR I WAS PUSHED INTO WAS SHOVED 30+ YARDS DOWN THE ROAD. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BROKE.
