Body problems of the 2011 Lincoln MKX

Left front drivers door flies open while driving. Door has already been repaired twice by dealers and problem keeps returning.

Faulty sunroof track assembly, unable to open or close backup rear camera stopped working, stationary (prior to backing up, once put in reverse).

Door ajar will not turn off even when the door is closed. It keeps all the dome lights on and the car will not lock while in motion, therefore causing a fall out hazard while the vehicle is in motion. While in park, the dome lights remain on for a significant amount of time causing battery drainage and doors do not lock. They unlock themselves creating a safety issue.

Door ajar warning - I have had to replace both my driver's door latch and the left rear door latch in the past 4 months. When the left rear door ajar warning light came on interior lights would stay on or the security alarm would go off at random times of the day or night. I replaced the door latch problem solved. Then the door ajar warning for the drivers door started coming on earlier the month at random times. When driver side door ajar warning light comes on, the door locks do not work. I can try to lock them and they will lock and then 2 seconds later they unlock. This is a big safety issue as well as a security issue. I knew the fix was to replace the door latch which I did. The problem for now has gone away. I cannot afford to keep replacing door latches on this vehicle. I called Lincoln / Ford and complained to them about it and they said that it is nothing they could do about it.

2011 Lincoln Mkx - problem - intermittent "driver door ajar" warning shown on instrument cluster - cause dome lights to illuminate, and repeated door closing attempts to end "door a jar" warning. Warning happens when stationary and / or in motion, resulting in an unplanned stop. If diving with "door ajar" warning, doors will not stay locked, questioning if doors are really closed.

Drivers door shows open when closed. Cant lock the doors and battery drains. Happens when closing at stop on when moving.

The door ajar light stays on for the drivers side door even when all doors are closed. This problem is a safety issue because it doesn't allow me to lock my doors while driving. Nor can I access my keyless entry or door lock. This seems to be a common problem and gross negligence. This is a potential law suit and victim of a crime.

This vehicle has been producing a strong exhaust/burning/sulfur smell in the cabin while using the climate control system/recirculator. There is a technical service bulletin out for this exact problem that states under certain conditions exhaust fumes can be pulled back into the cabin when using the climate controls. I took the vehicle to the dealership and paid $105. 00 for them to tell me exactly what I already know. I would like to know what they did to pinpoint this specific problem. They told me TSB is not paid for by Ford. They quoted me $500-600 to fix the problem following the TSB. My wife and kids are in this vehicle 95% of the time and have complained to me about the nauseating smell. Not to mention exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide! the dealership said the rear bumper needs to be pulled off and numerous areas of the body sealed where fumes are getting in. Why this isn't a full recall from Ford is beyond me. Exhaust fumes entering the cabin making people feel sick and Ford knows about this issue should be a full recall in my opinion. Or at least cover this repair for the people that have this problem. Not sure what my next step will be, but I can't spend $500-$600 right now. I hope NHTSA researches this problem if they haven't already.

Door ajar (driver's side) indicator illuminates when door is closed. Multiple occurrences of this issue are documented on internet. When this occurs the following systems are affected: * door locks - cannot be locked from driver or passenger automatic door lock button. When attempted all door locks automatically unlock again. Auto locking safety feature is effectively disabled. Work around is to manually lock all doors. * interior lighting - dome lights (interior lighting) will not turn off until vehicle is moving at 10 mph or faster when door ajar issue occurs. Visibility while maneuvering at low speeds at night is impaired and increases potential for accidents in areas such as parking lots. No known workaround. Additionally, when remotely locking car, marker lights and interior lights remain on, unknown if excessive battery drain may occur. * security system - keyless (touch) locking of automobile does not work when this issue occurs. Using remote lock activates the alarm system. This causes random false alarm activations. Security system cannot be used effectively. Work around is to keep car unlocked. Due to the number known systems affected by open or closed state of the car doors, it is possible that other systems including safety systems could be affected by intermittent door ajar sensor failure while the vehicle is in use.
