What are some common problems with the Lincoln MKS?

I’ve always wanted to buy a Lincoln, but I’m not sure if it stems from my youth or those relentless Matthew McConaughey commercials. Either way, I found a great deal online for a Lincoln MKS, but I want to make sure it’s a reliable car. Are there any common problems with the Lincoln MKS?

While newer models have fewer problems, watch out for some of these common problems on older models of the Lincoln MKS:
  • AC fan and blower motor changing speeds on their own
  • Trunk failing to latch
  • Leaking of fluid from the axle area due to faulty seals
  • Grinding noise coming from the brakes due to uneven brake pad and rotor wear
  • Problems with the infotainment unit, which may be fixed by updating or reprogramming the software
Matthew McConaughey is definitely the face of the
Lincoln MKS
and the lineup as a whole. Fortunately, the MKS is a reliable option, ranking third overall for reliability in the luxury sedan segment, according to RepairPal.
Even Matthew McConaughey himself needs car insurance to get behind the wheel of a Lincoln. Before you hit the pavement, make sure your Lincoln is insured with an affordable policy through the
