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.

Common Lincoln Mkx problems
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. These leaks can lead to engine damage, potentially requiring expensive repairs or even a complete engine replacement. Symptoms of this issue include clicking noises before the engine shuts down and the mixing of coolant with oil, causing significant damage.
- Brake Problems: Some models of the Lincoln MKX have been reported to have problematic brake systems. Owners have complained about issues such as difficulty in braking, with the brake pedal going to the floor, and sudden brake failures. These problems pose serious safety risks, especially at high speeds or in heavy traffic situations.

This issue causes the system to display a "door ajar" warning even when the doors are securely closed. The warning can affect various vehicle functions, leading to inconvenience and potential safety concerns.
- Headliner Rattling: Some model years of the Lincoln MKX have experienced rattling noises in the interior due to poor fitment of the headliner. This issue can create annoying sounds, affecting the overall driving experience. Repairs may involve re-securing the foam blocks with cable or zip ties to address the rattling noise.

- Date Complaint: 2024-10-15
- 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
- Crash: 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
- VIN: 2LMDJ6JK2EB
- 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

After 10 years and 170,000+ miles, I am still pleased with this car. It has been very dependable with very few repairs needed, and it is super comfortable!

Vehicle year: 2012
I did a lot of research on this rig and it's exceeding all the good news I found. We got a loaded one, including the adaptive cruise - which is a great safety feature. The backup camera is awesome and there are also sensors in the taillights - not on the bumpers - which is very cool. On the second day, my wife was backing up and the sensors went off because a woman started walking behind her - potentially saving us from an injury/law suit. The car has many redundancies built in which are extremely valuable. For example, the car can be entered with the fob, the touch handle, the Securicode on the door, or a key that is in the fob. It is keyless, pushbutton start - my wife leaves the fob in her pocket. The gas mileage is near EPA. Overall, this car is fantastic and I highly recommend it!

Vehicle year: 2010
Hi there! I recently purchased a car for driving around the city and I wanted something that was both comfortable and practical. It was important for me to be able to easily maneuver and park in garages. After doing some research, I decided on the 2010 MKX. It's a high-end car that is very well-built and offers great value. I was able to get a fully loaded model at a great price, which was only a few thousand more than a loaded Ford Edge. I highly recommend getting the Xilon coating. Unfortunately, during my first week of owning the car, someone keyed it from the front fender all the way down to the rear. Luckily, it buffed right out!

Vehicle year: 2015
I purchased NKX after having owned a Volkswagen Touareg. The Lincoln MKX is an amazing SUV! Fit, finish and features are top notch and the luxurious touches are limitless. It is the most impressive vehicle I have ever owned and America should be proud. Style is impressive and the standard and optional features are very well valued. Bang for buck, nothing came close to the MKX.

Vehicle year: 2012
I've been driving the new 2011 MKX for two weeks now and I still can't get enough of it! Lincoln has really outdone themselves with this one. The comfort, equipment, and ride quality set a new standard for SUVs. The new engine with 305 HP adds some real excitement to driving. The interior is simply awesome, with leather seats, dashboard, and steering wheel. The electronics on this car are amazing, all voice-controlled. And let's not forget the THX 2 sound system with 14 speakers and a subwoofer - definitely my favorite feature. I've tested the Mercedes MLK, Audi Q5, and BMW X3, but none of them can compare to the Lincoln. Take it for a drive and see for yourself!
Are you having problems with your Lincoln Mkx?
Kurtis Johnston 2025-06-26

I have experienced several issues with my vehicle within the first year of ownership, including problems with the bi-pillars, a noise in the driver door, and the panoramic roof area. Despite attempts by the service team to repair these issues, they have not yet been resolved. I am considering pursuing a lemon law claim after the third attempt. While I have had a negative experience with this Ford vehicle, I believe that improvements can be made to enhance its quality and reliability.

I purchased the MKX select a year and a half ago with under 5,000 miles on it. Unfortunately, I experienced some issues with the car shortly after purchasing it. Despite being in and out of the shop multiple times, the issue persisted. However, I remained confident in the expertise of the Lincoln team and their ability to resolve the issue. After rebuilding the top part of the engine, the car was returned to me and functioned well for a few months. Recently, I experienced another setback, but I am optimistic that the new Lincoln dealer will be able to identify and fix the issue. Although it has been a frustrating experience, I appreciate the support of the corporate office and their efforts to assist me. I requested to speak with a higher authority than the lady I am currently dealing with, but was informed that there is no one above her. Despite our warranty being close to expiration, I was told that extending it is not possible. This has been an extremely stressful situation regarding my car, and I am thoroughly disappointed. I will not be purchasing a Lincoln again. Unfortunately, we are currently facing a high car payment with no assistance. It would be greatly appreciated if I could obtain the contact information for the CEO or someone in a higher position. This situation is unacceptable.
Russ Torp 2025-06-13

The car is comfortable, attractive and seems solidly built. It drives great and would be a terrific commuter if not for the MyLincoln Touch system. The system is not responsive, the buttons are too small, the screens are busy, and even the physical volume and fan swipe controls often don't respond. It can be a distraction while driving, which is a concern. Despite this, I still appreciate the car's other features. Since I commute 2 hours a day, I have set a rule for myself that I only use the system for very minimal commands while driving. I hope that future models will improve on this design. Although I am disappointed with this aspect of the car, I still value it and will consider my options before making any decisions.

There seem to be some issues with the shifting of the gears, but everything else about the car is awesome! As a realtor, I tend to drive slowly at times, and I have noticed a loud popping noise and jerking. It is quite noticeable. I went back to the dealer where I purchased it, and they said it is normal. However, I have never driven a luxury car that does not provide a smooth drive. That is my only concern. The seats are very comfortable, and all the extras that the car has are awesome. If this transmission issue is normal, I may have to reconsider purchasing another Lincoln, as much as I love it.

I'm glad to hear that you fell in love with the Lincoln MKX, it's a beautiful car. I understand your concern about the gas mileage, especially since you travel a lot. Have you tried driving more conservatively to see if that improves the mileage? If you have any further concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Best regards, [Your Name]
