#28 of 61 Re: VERY DISAPPOINTED MKX OWNER [jacobson1] by jeyhoe Feb 13, 2008 (4:03 pm)
Replying to: jacobson1 (Feb 13, 2008 11:17 am) Sorry to hear this. I had a single problem with my Lincoln LS that I finally had to go to the district and finally the Lincoln "Customer service hotline" about. Net result was they first admitted it was a problem, then later decided sthat, ince they couldnt fix it, they'd just say it was in spec.   If I were you, I'd find out what the lemon law requires in your state and then strive to meet those requirements. Bring the dam_ thing back every day if u have to until you force them to buy it back. Then get something from a company that gives a RIP about their customers. THough Lincolns are all I currently own, I do NOT consider them in that category and probablly wont buy another either. There's NOTHING worse than some dumb-*ss at the customer service line saying "I dont care if you spent over $100,000 on Lincolns in the past few years. There's nothing we can do for you". They might as well just put in a recording. Replies to this message: jacobson1 (Feb 14, 2008 6:40 am)

#30 of 61 Got my MKX back by shotime Feb 21, 2008 (6:46 am)
We finally got our MKX back after 2 weeks and alot of fighting with ford customer service about the production of the speed sensor we needed. It seems to be running great but today I noticed that all of my taillights-R-L-and Center all have condinsation in them. I already took it to ford to have it warrentied and I am at witts end with this truck. I want to drive it back and say keep it. I have had many fords and Lincolns in my years and this is so far the worst. I have two Taurus SHO's that have never had this much trouble in all the years I have owned them.   Mad Lincoln Owner Here!!!!
#31 of 61 Back seat rattle by bruceer1 Mar 02, 2008 (11:59 am)
So, I have had my 07' MKX now since July and love it. It is amazing living in Hollywood, CA and actually having people check out your Lincoln.   That being said every first year model has kinks. I have fixed the rear sunroof rattle by stuffing in klenenex and fixed the rear piller rattles by spraying silicon spray on the door jams. Now a NEW rattle has emerged even louder and more annoying than the others. It sounds like its under the rear seat in between both seats. It is a consistent rattle that sounds like metal on metal and rattles non stop! In fact, the only way to stop it is by driving with the rear seat down! My wife and I pulled out the entire trunk lining, tire and foam to look for it and could not figure it out.   Has anyone else experienced this rattle?   Thanks Replies to this message: belfast (Apr 18, 2008 9:56 pm) tomperse (Jun 12, 2008 7:50 am) belfast (Jun 16, 2008 10:25 pm) ok3moore (Oct 14, 2008 5:55 am) and 3 more... ok3moore (Oct 14, 2008 6:41 am)

Replying to: mkxowner (Jan 04, 2008 8:40 am) I Just thought I'd let you know what that smell is all about, I have the same car (2007 MKX) about same mileage and was getting same nasty smell, brought to my local guys for inspection and oil change and they told me that the front axel seal was leaking. So I called the dealer and brought it in just last week and Yes thats what it was and the smell is because the leak is dripping on the exhaust. They replaced (no cost) and said they cleaned off pipe as best they could and smell should go away 1 week or so, smelt it today so Wednesday is a week so hopefully it goes. Hope this helps.
#33 of 61 No More MKX by shotime Apr 01, 2008 (1:10 pm)
Well after we got our truck back from the speed sensor problem and we took it in for the taillights. One week to the day our axle seal went out. Took a day and a half got it back then the sway bar link broke on that side from dealer stupidity. So the next day after we got it back we went back to where we bought it and trade it in on a 06 Navigator we did go down a year but no big deal for me. So far no heartache on this truck they gave us such a steal because of the lemon law we pretty much swapped them out. I did love the way it turned heads but that novelty was wearing off. I hope others don't have as much trouble as we did, it just shows you that when you rush to get something into production you miss a little quality and bugs.
#34 of 61 Climate Control Squeal by robw64 Apr 01, 2008 (2:43 pm)
I've had my '07 MKX since November 12, 2007. So far, the vehicle has been great and the mileage has averaged 22.5 on the highway and 18.5 in mostly city driving.   We had the sunroof rattle repaired (very simple repair....needed a better adhesive than was used at the factory).   The climate control has developed a squealing sound that continues even if we turn off the A/C. It's a very low volume "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....." sound, but once you're aware of it you can't hear anything else (no one else hears it until I point it out). I'm taking it in on Friday morning. I'm hoping it's just a minor adjustment. Replies to this message: robw64 (Apr 10, 2008 2:32 am)

Replying to: robw64 (Apr 01, 2008 2:43 pm) The squeal was squelched with a few drops of lubricant in the climate control system (the fans, the belts, etc.). So far, no other issues with the car to date. I was pleased to see Ford rank so well on the initial quality indexes.
#36 of 61 Warped front Brake Calibers by vinnieg1 Apr 18, 2008 (6:40 am)
I just purchased my new 2008 MKX and the front brake calibers were already warped. Has anyone had a similar problem? They machined them and all is well for now but I wonder about rotors warping so soon. Replies to this message: jeyhoe (Apr 19, 2008 8:55 am) awa1 (Jun 01, 2009 2:02 pm)
