When the power steering gear failed I was left with a $3000 bill. Bad quality. Never heard of it until it broke. No help from Lincoln.

But there are issues with the shifting of the gears. Everything else is awesome! I am a realtor and my driving is slow at times and the car makes a loud popping noise and seems to jerk. Very noticable. I went back to the dealer where i purchased it and they said it is normal!!!!! I have never driven a luxuary car that is not a smooth drive. That is my only issue. Seats are very comfortable and all the extras the car has are awesome. If this transmission is normal i won't purchase another lincoln. As much as i love it.

Annoying

Great car. Called a SUV but it really is not. The 2015 was taller and more like a true SUV. The 2017 is lower and slightly wider. We opted for the 2.7L turbocharged model. The turbocharger is loud on acceleration and very annoying. Dealer said all is well and nothing wrong. Took an identical car for a test drive and its turbo also was very loud on acceleration. Test drove several other Ford vehicles that were turbocharged and could not hear any noise upon acceleration. Apparently this problem is unique to 2017 Lincoln MKX with the 2.7L that is turbocharged. This problem is not recognized by Lincoln so my advice is to refrain from purchasing this model until the problem is resolved.

One must-have feature is the air conditioned seats, and it's only available on Reserve and Black Label trim levels. We love the cappuccino interior, which provides a sharp contrast with the black plastic trim - most have black interiors which lacks that contrast. The 3.7 is a powerful and responsive engine, smooth and quiet in normal driving but sounds great when accelerating hard. Some people dislike the transmission shifter on the dash rather than the center console, but my wife is a coffee drinker and frequently spills on the console, and that was the primary reason we opted for the MKX rather than the Ford version of this SUV, the Edge Sport. Relocating the shifter also opens up an additional storage cubby in the console, which includes a handy easy to see USB port that's in front of you rather than back by your elbow. One other advantage of the MKX is the nose slopes down while the Edge is more squared off - so you can see the road in front of you a lot closer in the MKX. Finally the basic Lincoln warranty is 4 yrs/50k instead of 3 yrs/36k.
