2017 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.

- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: Vehicle Leased for 36 months December, 2016. 3 miles on it. At end of lease then purchased the vehicle with a Lincoln Premier Warranty. June 2021 the passenger side dashboard began to lift from its mounting and bubbling up and sort of waffeling across the top of the dashboard then migrating toward the Airbag assembly. Complaint made to Lincoln June 2021. Instructed to take it to a local Lincoln Dealer. Dealer indicated repair would cost some 5 to 6 thousand dollars and that it was not covered under any warranty. Current vehicle mileage: 17,200. Making things worse is that the Airbag is integral to the dashboard. Further lifting and/or peeling off would necessarily present a serious safety and possibly functional hazard, let alone cosmetic features. This is a luxury SUV (Lincoln MKX Black Label) costing approximately 75 thousand dollars, by no means Chump Change. A verbal complaint to Lincoln Customer Service late August 2021. It was indicated this item was NOT covered under warranty and be a total cost to the owner. Not good enough! My position is that is was a manufacturing defect. This whole issue was covered in a certified letter to Lincoln Customer Service September 15, 2021; as yet no reply or resolution from Lincoln.

Negative 2017 Lincoln Mkx car reviews
Positive 2017 Lincoln Mkx car reviews
-
I'm still enjoying my Lincoln MKX! It's holding up very well with minor maintenance such as oil changes, tire rotation, brakes, and tires.
-
This SUV has many great features, but there are a few noticeable shortcomings. The front seats are quite short and do not provide much leg support. Additionally, the front headrest has limited range of motion adjustment. It's worth noting that the driver assistance function for maintaining lane will stop functioning when lines are yellow. However, the adaptive cruise control works very well.
-
Reliable transportation. However, the shifting could be improved.
-
Congratulations on your new purchase! It's great to hear that you're enjoying your 2017 model lease back with only 13k miles. Moving up to an SUV from your Mkz sounds like a great choice. It's wonderful to hear that you're loving your new Mkx, especially the smooth and fast 3.7L engine. The styling of the Mkx is truly impressive, and it's great to hear that you prefer the front grille look over the new Nautilus. It's also fantastic to hear that the mileage is spot on to what the sticker claimed. I'm so glad to hear that you're happy with your purchase and I hope that you continue to have a positive experience with it. Based on your positive experience with your Mkz, I'm sure that you'll have another great experience with your new Mkx. I highly recommend this vehicle as well, especially since it's much nicer than the Edge in my opinion. If you're able to pick up a low mileage used one, they aren't much more expensive. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

It's great to hear that you find the driving experience similar to a sedan!
