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. |

I ordered my 07 MKX in Feb. of 07. I got all the bells and whistles! I have had nothig but problems since the first week of ownership. It has been out of service for 30+ days. First for a bent disc in brake plate, molding came loose around the window, sunroof rattles (been in shop 10+, 5 repair attempts and still not repaired), power sunroof would not close, Wheel speed sensor replaced, stains on the bumper(still there), driver door creaks and squeals(not repaired), backseat creaks(not repaired), rattle in tailgate, sunroof molding came a loose, deformed trim panels, thumping and popping sound from the dash, and a metallic metal sound coming from the rear(not repaired). Complained and A Ford Specialist came to repair it (dealership said to take it up with FORD) he did not hear any of my concerns when he drove my truck! What a waste of my time. Now I have a court case aganist FORD to buy back this luxury crossover vehicle. We'll see what happens.

Replying to: ok3moore (Oct 14, 2008 5:55 am) Have you considered trying another dealer? All dealers are not the same.
