#1 of 18 MKX Door Sensor Problems by jamesmkx May 12, 2007 (3:37 am)
I have a two week old MKX. I love the vehicle but noted that after a few hours in the sun, I am getting a "right rear door open" warning. I tried every remedy without success. After the car cooled, the warning disappeared. I called the dealer and they hadn't a clue.   A few days later, the car was in the sun, and the alarm started to sound spontaneously. Sure enough, when I finally got it to stop, the same warning "right rear door open" appeared. I moved the car to my garage where the warning eventually disappeared.   My search of the blogs revealed the exact same problem in another MKX. Any similar experiences or quick fixes? I am bringing the vehicle to the dealer and will follow up here. I am also wondering if any Edge owners are having the same problem. Replies to this message: texases (May 12, 2007 7:20 am)

#3 of 18 MKX rattle and key sensor for seat return by bonitagolfer Aug 06, 2007 (3:49 pm)
Is anybody having an incessant rattle in the rear of their MKX? Repair couldn't fix it even after taking the tailgate off. I read somewhere on Edmunds.com that it is beause of an ill fitting tailgate. Also, 50% of the time the driver seat does not return to the proper position when inserting the key as it should. Any thoughts? I have only 4400 miles on the car.

#4 of 18 Love the navigation system by cocoaowner Aug 24, 2007 (10:28 pm)
Bought the navigation system and really love it. My old 'Slade didn't offer nav when new and I used a Clarion portable unit that cost me $1,500. While both are touch-screen, the MKX nav has an incredible number of options and is super-easy to use. Sometimes it's the little things that matter -- for example, if I ignore a turn suggestion, it fairly soon thereafter stops nagging me to turn at the next opportunity and will instead recalculate the route, which is what I want. There are so many features and options that it takes a long time to learn them all, but it's worth it. Fortunately, I've had plenty of time to play with it while my wife grocery-shops.   6,000 miles on the vehicle now and very happy with it - no problems of any kind.

Replying to: bonitagolfer (Aug 06, 2007 3:49 pm) Do you have the vista-roof? I have the same rattle in my Edge. Had to sit in the back while the girlfriend drove to narrow it down. Appears to be coming from the vista-roof when the sun-shade is closed. Was gonna take it in the other day but got stuck at work. I'll let ya know what they say when I take it in.

Replying to: buffalo78 (Sep 04, 2007 9:57 am) I just got the problem fixed this week. The adhesive holding the track around the rear moon roof dries up and the track will rattle. The dealers recently received a memo from Lincoln/Ford saying this can happen to the MKX and the Edge with instructions to order a certain adhesive. So your dealer should take care of this under warranty. I'm still having intermittent problems with the key sensor. Replies to this message: buffalo78 (Sep 05, 2007 7:38 am)

Replying to: rt9574 (Sep 10, 2007 6:36 am) I had mine checked in April when I was not getting water under the car. The drip hole for A/C is under the car by driverside in line with the dash toward th middle of the car. It was hard to see it is behind what appeared to be a heat shield of sorts. Dealer move it slightly away from the drain.
