Lincoln MKX owners have reported a total of 1,694 problems for their cars built in the 12 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 MKX. The 2007 Lincoln MKX cars have the most problems reported (340 problems).
The following chart shows the 28 most common problems for Lincoln MKX cars. The number one most common problem is related to the vehicle's air bags (411 problems). The second most common problem is related to the vehicle's service brakes, hydraulic (276 problems).
It would not be fair to compare the Lincoln MKX 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 MKX 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 MKX 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 MKX is to use the total number of problems reported during the vehicle's first year in service, as shown in the Table 4.
