What are some common problems with the Lincoln MKX?
I’m considering buying a used Lincoln MKX since I found it for a good price. But I’ve heard there are some issues with certain model years. What are some of the most common problems with the Lincoln MKX?

If you buy a used SUV, watch for some common problems with the Lincoln MKX. These include
- Engine stalling and throttle failure due to a faulty throttle body intake
- Rattling in the interior due to the poor fitment of the headliner
- Consistent coolant leaks
- Mushy brake pedals
- Foam seal between the dashboard and the windshield popping out
Which problems you experience largely depend on the model year. According to information from the
NHTSA
, the MKX had 19 recalls over 12 years of production. To avoid problems, consider avoiding the following model years:- 2007-2008
- 2011-2014
- 2016
Instead, stick to these model years:
- 2009
- 2010
- 2015
- 2017
- 2018
RepairPal gave the
Lincoln MKX
a 3.0/5.0 reliability rating, ranking it toward the bottom half of the luxury midsize SUV segment. However, top-notch features and performance still make it a great buy in the used car market.View full answer
