Jazzy Lincoln MKZ

Car was generally great! The turbo in the car died at around 15,000 miles, but was repaired under warranty. My kids loved driving it - they called it "the rocket ship"! My wife loved the massage system in the seats. Only other problem was the thermostat- it had a mind of it's own when the weather got hot. When the car was started it would immediately go to max temp and fan. Until it was replaced you had to turn to climate control off and set the temp to a reasonable temp on "my temp". This controlled the temp as long as you were driving. However, upon turning the car off it would start all over when the car was restated. Overall a great car, just a few problems that sometimes got your attention!

Horrible Quality/Sold it!

45 mpg is an Absolute Lie! Closer to 36 mpg, and I live in super flat Florida. While the car is beautifully designed it is made from very cheap quality parts and is constantly breaking. Only 6 months old and been in the shop 4 times to repair/replace broken pieces and currently waiting for the entirely new interior roof trim to come in for a fifth visit. That will also need to have several other areas replaced/repaired for a second time. I am tired of the constant apologies from Lincoln about how awful the car is, I just want them to take it back. The interior is a piece of junk. Rattles, squeaks, pops, crackling noises all over the interior. (just sold in Mar 2016, HAPPY DAY!)

Remember the 2004 Cadillac SRX?

In all fairness I bought this car around Feb 15 2017 with 40000 miles. The car had the larger engine and AWD. I took it back to the shop twice in one month. When the car hit 50 mph it shook and vibrated. All four tires needed balanced not aligned balanced. The wipers were really bad and needed replaced. The volume on the best stereo system they offer would not work from time to time. When the ac was activated I would hear a noise that resonated into the car. Very annoying. I owned the car for a little over a month. The Certified 160 point check is a joke. Lincoln wanted me to pay for the balancing of the wheels and replacing the wipers. My argument was by me paying for the service it goes against the 160 point check. If they took it for a ride they would have noticed the shaking of the car at 50 mph. Just a bunch of check marks. This car was a Lincoln Certified Vehicle. I traded it in just one month later and bought a Toyota Camry. The Camry road so much better. I bought a lemon and took a beating on the trade and the deposit I put down on the Lincoln. Now I feel safe and not worried about taking my car into the shop more than necessary. I had candy eyes when I bought the Lincoln MKZ because it is a beautiful looking car. Stay clear.
