Lincoln MKT owners have reported a total of 369 problems for their cars built in the 10 model years listed in the chart below. The chart shows the number of problems reported across all service years for each given model year of the Lincoln MKT. The 2010 Lincoln MKT cars have the most problems reported (91 problems).
The following chart shows the 21 most common problems for Lincoln MKT cars. The number one most common problem is related to the vehicle's steering (100 problems). The second most common problem is related to the vehicle's equipment (52 problems).
It would not be fair to compare the Lincoln MKT of an older model year to newer model years since older vehicles have been in service longer and thus are expected to have more problems. In order to compare the reliability across MKT model years, we use the PPMY index which is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. A smaller PPMY index indicates greater reliability of the given model year cars.
PPMY = P / S / Y * 1000,
where P = total problems reported during the life of a Lincoln MKT model year; S = total units sold of the model year; Y = years since the debut of the model year (the age of the vehicle).
The results are shown in Table 3.
Another way to measure the reliability across the model years of the Lincoln MKT is to use the total number of problems reported during the vehicle's first year in service, as shown in the Table 4.
