| 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. | |

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.

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.

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) 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

On my 2007 MKX with 14,000 miles, just had a rear wheel bearing replaced under warranty. First detected a low pitched growel or grinding or whirring sound, that was especially easy to hear once reaching 30 mph or more. My first thought was it might be coming from the rear differential. My suspicions were heightened when I searched the web and found 2 instances (on fordedgeforums.com) of low mileage Ford Edge owners who had rear ends replaced in May / June 2008. When I took it to the shop, one of the head mechanics took it for a drive and told me it was my tires and that he suspected the start of cupping of my tires. Only when I pointed out what some Ford Edge owners had experienced, did he agree to put my MKX on the lift and check the differential. While on the lift, they also got around to putting a stethoscope to the wheel bearings and determined that the right rear wheel bearing was bad (at only 14,000 miles). The repair shop called in an order for a wheel bearing. In the meantime I went to my Michelin dealer, who checked out my Michelin Latitude Tour HP 18 inch tires, and proclaimed them to be free of cupping and in good shape for 14,000 miles. Next day, after putting in the new wheel bearing, the noise is gone. I am thankfull that replacing the wheel bearing got rid of the noise, but somewhat chagrined that this should happen after only 14,000 miles. |
