Lincoln Mkx problems
The Lincoln MKX is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV marketed and sold by the Lincoln brand of Ford Motor Company. Introduced in late 2006, the MKX ("X" stands for "crossover") is the first crossover SUV offered by the Lincoln brand. Initially the smallest Lincoln SUV, it has been slotted between the Lincoln Corsair and the Lincoln Aviator. It is the Lincoln counterpart of the Ford Edge crossover across both generations.
The first-generation MKX was produced from 2007 to 2015, based upon the CD3 platform. The second generation is based on the CD4 platform. Both generations of the MKX were manufactured at Oakville Assembly in Oakville, Ontario, Canada alongside the Ford Edge, Ford Flex, and Lincoln MKT.
As Lincoln phased out its use of "MK" model names, the MKX adopted the Lincoln Nautilus nameplate as part of a mid-cycle update in 2018 for the 2019 model year.

Based on the complaints from owners of the Lincoln MKX, several common problems have been reported:
- Coolant Leaks: Coolant leaks have been a significant concern for Lincoln MKX owners.

The warning can affect various vehicle functions, leading to inconvenience and potential safety concerns.

- VIN: 2LMDJ8JKXEB
- Components: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: The ABS module has failed. Lincoln doesn't have one and they don't know when the will. Apparently (from what I gather from Lincoln Corporate) there is a plethora of these units that have failed. Why is this not a safety recall?
Lincoln Mkx 2007

- Number Of Injuries: 1

- VIN: 2LMDU88C67B
- Components: POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: My 2007 Lincoln MKX had an SUA and within 10 feet totaled the front end when it was thrust into a cement building. This happened On [XXX] and the vehicle is available for inspection here in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. In 2010 Lincoln implemented an override device to the brake system knowing of the problem and there was no recall for vehicles prior to 2010. My safety was put at risk and that of others. If someone had been exiting the store or walking down the sidewalk they could have been killed. I am suffering with physical and mental problems as a result of this. Police report also states this was definitely a vehicle malfunction. There were no warning signs prior to the incident. Claim has been filed with the Office of General Council at Lincoln, but remains unresolved to date. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Lincoln Mkx 2010
- Date Of Incident: 2024-05-12
- Date Complaint: 2024-09-07
- VIN: 2LMDJ6JC3AB
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: I am satisfied with the help that the customer service assisted me with and that was getting my service moved up to September 26th from the original date of October 30th. But I am not satisfied with the remedy. I have received several written letters from Lincoln that go into detail of the recall on my car and as well they say and in BIG RED LETTERS ..DO NOT DRIVE YOUR CAR UNTIL REPAIRS ARE DONE. WELL, I should say that you see my 2010 Lincoln Mkx is my and only vehicle I own I can not just park it up and forget I have a life and a job because of no fault of my own that my one and only car urgently is needing repair to the factory installed air bags. Therefore I ask Lincoln to assist me with a rental until my car had been repaired. I do not feel safe DRIVING MY CAR.Letter's I have on hand from Lincoln plainly stating DO NOT DRIVE. I am upset Lincoln ortrays they care so much to bombard me with all the recall letters and such but pretty much told me NO WE DONT DO RENTAL CARS So what I am to do??? I don't have rental coverage on my insurance. I couldn't afford it. So what choice do I have??? If I do die from their faulty air bags imploding on me atleast make sure my children and grandchildren knew I begged for a rental but Lincoln couldn't back me with that. I guess making luxury car's for so many years has not left them with much profit Seeing as how in a life or death situation brought on by their mistake they leave their customers to chance it because it cost to much for rentals to ensure their customers are kept safe until their car is serviced and safe to drive. They have no compassion for people is how I am feeling about this whole situation. Only covering themselves legally in the cheapest fix possible to avoid legal issues. Guess Lincoln owners are just numbers and dollar signs and not mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, aunt or uncles or grandparents that are loved and would be missed severely in the event of their death by a recalled air bag.
Lincoln Mkx 2014
- Date Of Incident: 2024-04-10
- Date Complaint: 2024-09-06

- Components: SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: Continious soft brake pedal , with failure of brakes a couple of times nearly causing wreck. Auto inspected by Reineke Ford Findlay, Oh. Needs replacement of ABS brake module - hydrolic and electrical. No warning lights ever. Ford needs to extend the ABS module recall to include additional years, one of those being my 2014 MKX. To add to problem, even if I could afford to fix $2,000.00 repair......parts are on backorder........hence defining what a problem this is! This has been going on since April 2024.
Lincoln Mkx 2007
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-11
- Date Complaint: 2024-09-03
- Number Of Injuries: 1
- Crash: 1
- VIN: 2LMDU88C67B
- Components: AIR BAGS,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: My 2007 Lincoln MKX was in Drive with the brake depressed waiting to back up into a traffic lane from an angled parking space in front of a small shop in our historic downtown area. Suddenly, the vehicle accelerated forward at a high rate of speed jumping the shallow curb and slamming into the cement foundation of the store. Continuing to depress the brakes made no difference in stopping the jarring unintended forward motion. The speed moving forward was so high that in the 10-12 feet from the curb to the store entrance the impact demolished the entire front of the vehicle even bending the front axels. The airbags did not deploy at all. The witness interviewed, reported loud screeching tires as her back was to the scene during the collision. Local PD, EMS and Fire all responded, with a full police report filed. It was extremely fortunate no person was either on the sidewalk or in the entrance to the storefront. My injuries included severe bruising to the right side of my neck, as well as a hematoma on my right tibia and an oblique fracture to bones in my right foot. There were no passengers in the car with me. The accident, and extreme concern over the malfunction of the vehicle allowing it to take control away from myself as the driver, has been reported to Ford Lincoln and a claim number established. My insurance company took possession of the vehicle from the tow lot after three days after determining it was a total loss. To reiterate, there was no warning at all before the incident. I was simply waiting for traffic to clear, so I could put the vehicle from Drive into Reverse and pull out of the parking space.
Lincoln Mkx 2013
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-02
- Date Complaint: 2024-09-02
- VIN: 2LMDJ8JK1DB
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: My brakes have failed on this car three times. I had new front and back brakes installed on [XXX] mileage 44882. Again my brakes failed on [XXX] mileage 47626. A new brake booster was installed along with front brakes. Again on [XXX] brakes failed again and a brake booster and front brakes were installed. Mileage 54924. Today I was driving to my daughters house in Zanesville, Ohio and my brakes failed again. My car is still down in Zanesville because I could not drive it home. The mileage is 57000. Every time this happens I risk an accident. Even though the brake booster is covered by extended warranty, because Lincoln knows about this problem, I still have to pay for brakes and other cost. Isn't there anything that can be done about this? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Lincoln Mkx 2013
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-20
- Date Complaint: 2024-08-20
- Crash: 1
- VIN: 2LMDJ6JK8DB
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: In June 2024, i received a letter dated March of 2024 for a Customer Satisfaction Program 13N02 that ended before i had a chance to take my vehicle into the repair shop to have this item fixed. Actually, i received the letter past the date that it could qualify for the repair as it was 10 years from the original warranty or 150,000 miles. My original warranty start date was December 2013. So they sent the "Customer Satisfaction Program notice 13N02" After the date it could be repaired. I called the dealership anyway, despite their error, to see if they may want to fix this Spongy Break Pedal anyway since they had messed up their mailing date. (Shultz Lincoln in Wexford, PA) They declined and told me they would be happy to look at it for a low fee of $180.00. I told them they should do it for free. I then called Lincoln directly where i spoke with a very nice gentleman. He looked through every possible scenario and decided that i was not able to get it fixed under the program. There really should be some type of law disallowing them to send out post dated letters knowing very well that they were not going to fix it because it was past the date of repair. My brake pedal hits the floor when i try to stop and if i do not push on the pedal hard enough to brake without the booster kicking in, i bump into things. Solution, i have attached a 2 channel dash cam to the vehicle with a live feed posted to a server in order to document my death caused by Lincoln. I have instructed my attorneys to release the feed upon my death and have authorized a law suit in my name. if won, they have been told to distribute the money to all of the homeless people that the Lincoln Executives drive past with their pocket tight and windows up every day on their way to work. This should be a crime. They should fix their safety issues, they should not be allowed to send out notices offering to pay for repairs that they do not plan on repairing. Also, they could spare a dollar for the Homeless

Congratulations on your new purchase! It's great to hear that you're enjoying your 2012 MKX after trading in your fully loaded Tahoe.

I absolutely adore this car! I have received nothing but wonderful compliments on both the interior and exterior looks of this vehicle. The way it hugs the road and responds to my every move is simply amazing. Not to mention, the ride is incredibly quiet, which is a huge plus. Coming from a Jeep, where every pebble and crack in the road was felt and heard, this car is a dream come true. The heated steering wheel is a godsend, especially here in chilly New Hampshire. I was lucky enough to find this gem used with only 12,000 miles on it, and what a steal it was! While the gas mileage isn't the best, averaging around 22mpg, I'm just grateful that gas prices are currently low. Comfort is key for me, and this is hands down one of the most luxurious vehicles I've ever owned.

Hey there! I don't usually write reviews online, but I just had to share my thoughts on this car. My 2007 Lincoln MKX has been running for 100,000 miles now, and it's still going strong!
Are you having problems with your Lincoln Mkx?
Matteo Keebler 2025-03-28

I replaced my Murano and Lexus RX with this car due to its clean and crisp look, and my desire to try a domestic vehicle again. However, I have been disappointed with its performance. Despite having only 6500 miles, it has been in the shop four times for various issues such as the satellite radio/nav malfunctioning, a noticeable 'clunk' in the transmission when shifting at slow speeds between 5-8 mph, and a brake sensor failure. Although the dealer has been unable to find or replicate the transmission issue, I experience it every day. As a result, I have decided to replace this car with either the Infinity FX or Acura MDX. I am disappointed with the performance of this domestic vehicle and will not be considering them in the future.

Ford could consider developing vehicles that can better compete with offshore products. I had some issues with my MKX, such as the headlamps, rear license plate light, radio and NAV system, auto trunk opening motor and struts, a panel that started to rust after only 19 months of service, and roof moldings that wouldn't stay locked. The tires also needed to be replaced due to 'cupping' attributed to a balance issue. Although the dealer provided warranty service, they didn't check the alignment, so I ended up buying new tires. I hope this feedback can be helpful for future Ford/Lincoln Edge and MKX buyers. Thank you for your attention!

The power steering gear failed, resulting in a $3000 bill. This is unacceptable for a Lincoln vehicle. Despite the lack of prior knowledge about this issue, Lincoln did not provide any assistance. It is clear that the quality of the product needs improvement.

The 2017 MKX has a lot of impressive technology features and a sleek design. However, the seats have received some negative feedback due to poor quality materials and lack of comfort. Some customers have reported issues with the headrests tilting too far forward, causing neck pain, and the seat cushions not providing enough support. Additionally, the narrow width and U-shaped sitting surface may not be suitable for everyone. Despite these concerns, the MKX may still be a great option for those who prioritize advanced technology features. It's important to consider your personal preferences and comfort level before making a decision. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

The car has many upsides. It handles and accelerates beautifully, and the power is plentiful. The ride is smooth, and it handles like a much smaller sedan. The tech features are great, and the touchscreen is sensibly laid-out. The parking aids and stereo are wonderful, and Lincoln has been great with their dealer support. However, there are some downsides. Even with the 22-way adjustable seat, I just can't get comfortable. The ergonomics of the car are kind of a mess, and some of the features just don't work very well. The MPG is abysmal, and the visibility out back is atrocious. The fit and finish overall is very good, and the materials are mostly nice. However, there are some hard cheap plastics in the interior. Lincoln has done a good job, but I'm not entirely sure they have hit the lofty objective of competing with Lexus.
