Mytouch gone wrong

Ok looks good. Feels good. But I believe I am part of the first recall with locking problem. In addition the technology of the car would be amazing if it did infact work. The phone will not sync with bluetooth. The navigation locks up. The rear camera blacks out in a regular basis and the only fix Lincoln has at this time is temporary. The disconnect the car battery for ten minutes to reset system. I have had the car for about 2 weeks now and the car mytouch system has failed at least 6 times and the temporary fix has lasted 5 day at most. The promise of a fix has been delayed twice now. Customer service at both ford and the dealership is lacking. This has been a issue ford was aware of.

Engine has plenty of power. Comfortable seats, Ride is quiet and comfortable on smooth roads but gets a little harsh on bumpy roads (probably due to the 20" wheels). Rims are not chrome plated aluminum as stated, seems to be some type of wheel cover over alum rim. Overall build quality is substandard. Doors and tailgate do not line up properly. Center A/C vent not installed properly is crooked. Rain sensing wipers occasionally wipe when no water is present. Bluetooth is unreliable with my Blackberry which is on the MYSYNC compatible list. This is my 18th new vehicle and first Ford. Overall I'm disappointed and would probably go back to Cadillac or Mercedes next time

I love this car!!! I bought it pre-owned in November 2014 with only 15k on the clock. Let me say that this is the most stunning, elegant vehicle I will ever own. It corners like a freakin' racecar-I never expected that!! Best bang for the buck with interior features (ambient lighting, heated steering wheel, air cond' seats, incredible THX sound, plus really advanced MyTouch system with gas prices, weather, sports scores, etc) are all extremely useful. I have the 20" chrome wheels and LOVE them. STUNNING car. Lots of safety+ power, very refined! Power fold 3rd row. Sure as hell beats that ugly triangular SRX thing from "Cadi(chevy)llac." Will only buy Lincolns from now on. Best car out there!

I have only had the MKX for a couple of weeks but did take it on a long road trip (3KM). We had a full load with 2 adults, two children, two dogs and a cat. The ride was comfortable and it made the trip a joy. The technology is fantastic. We had the Navigation system lock up once and had to turn the car off to get it to reset. The THX sound system is awesome as well. Overall a fun luxury vehicle - love it.

1/6/2020 - YES!!!! I finally got rid of this vehicle, trading it in for a 2020 Red Toyota 4Runner Off Road Premium...... love my new vehicle!!! I bought this "Top of the Line" Elite Package car used, looking almost brand new in October 2014 with about 28,000 miles. Less than 50,000 miles later, and it is now September 2017; and the engine needs to be replaced... $7,100 - $7,200. Are you kidding??? That is unacceptable. Oh, and the dealership never heard of this problem happening!!! Really ???? After reading numerous articles through various forums about Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX engines, I see that this is a huge problem. There is NO way that any Ford or Lincoln dealership is not aware of this happening. I purchased this Lincoln after having owned a 1999 Mercury Mountaineer Premier which was a terrific vehicle. It seemed like a good idea even though it was extremely disappointing that the Mercury brand dissolved. Shame on the salesman who took me on that trade-in and then sold me a junky MKX --- no quality. Update: 3/31/18 - So, ever since the engine was replaced(October), there has been a rattle ( a sound like a wire rattling around ), mostly above 65 mph, which is why I did not hear it until traveling on the interstate. The mechanic shop that I had the engine replaced is a 1 to 1/2. hr. drive, and I work full-time, so going back to that shop was a mistake to begin with and something I am unable to do now. I went to the local Lincoln dealer where I had originally purchased my car to have an oil change and check this noise. Of course they saw nothing, and said to come back if it continues. I had told them that you do not hear the noise until going over 65 mph. And I cannot spend another couple of hundred dollars on yet another car rental for mine to be in the shop and "hope" they find the rattle. So my rating of this vehicle continues to be poor. When I finish paying it off, I will certainly be getting another vehicle and it will not be a Lincoln or a Ford. Update - 10/2/2019. Still have the MKX, almost paid off. Plan to trade within the next few months to get a long-lasting Toyota 4Runner. Never another Lincoln. Mechanics have never figured out about the rattle. Update - 10/3/2019. SAME PROBLEM today as 2 WEEKS AGO. TOWED AGAIN to dealer to fix.... lost power steering, check charging station came on.... last time they fixed it required installing belts which were gone and replace gasket cap. Same problem today and had to have it towed yet again to dealer. SUCH an UNRELIABLE vehicle. Just 90,000 miles on it, 60,000 miles the last 5 years, the front leather seats are rubbing off. Oh and still has rattle from a year ago when engine was replaced because the water pump broke. Run away from Lincoln !!! 01/06/2020 - FINALLY. Traded for a beautiful sturdy awesome brand new red Toyota 4-Runner Off Road Premium. A great, dependable larger SUV which I absolutely love to drive.
