#32 of 61 Re: 2007 AWD Lincoln MKX Rubber Smell and Rattling Vista Roof [mkxowner] by albany1 Mar 31, 2008 (6:31 pm)
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)

Replying to: vinnieg1 (Apr 18, 2008 6:40 am) Say vinnie, I see you bought a Lincoln MKX. Did u trade your LR2 for it and can u tell us why?
#39 of 61 brake problem/lr2 by vinnieg1 Apr 19, 2008 (12:29 pm)
The MKX is a lease with 3 years 45,000 free maintainence including the brakes etc. so since I have a 39 month lease I should be OK but I will ask them why they didn;t put new ones in the next time I am there. The LR2 was traded for the MKX but not for any fault to the LR2. I loved it but needed to make the change for personal reasons.

Replying to: bruceer1 (Mar 02, 2008 11:59 am) Hi.   I own a 2007 Lincoln MKX and am experiencing the same rattles as you. The dealership here in Amarillo, Texas was able to fix the sunroof/sunscreen rattle by taking it to an upholstery place. I'm not sure what they did but I can find out.   My driver's side door rattles, creaks, squels, etc. Sometimes when I'm turning into my driveway it sounds as though it's going to pop open. In the shop today to investigate yet again.   My backseat rattles. I found it to be the rearseat release handle on the driver's side. It's really bad when it's cold but that's what mine is. Trying thumping yours or banging on it to see if it makes the noise you hear.   Love the car - hate the craftsmanship - very, very disappointed!   Tom Replies to this message: belfast (Jun 16, 2008 10:25 pm) ok3moore (Oct 14, 2008 5:55 am) akirby (Oct 14, 2008 6:21 am) and 2 more...

Replying to: tomperse (Jun 12, 2008 7:50 am) We had same problems...driver door AND left rear door rattles were traced to the same bolt in each door not tightened at assembly something to do with the window track system. as for the re and re and re occuring roof rattle it is now reason to replace the car with another brand and I hope NO roof rattles or at least if a rattle someone will care about and fix it. good luck Belfast Replies to this message: ok3moore (Oct 14, 2008 5:55 am) akirby (Oct 14, 2008 6:21 am) ok3moore (Oct 14, 2008 6:51 am) and 1 more...
