general problems of the 2011 Lincoln MKX

Rear camera quits working or it works only upside down. The seatbelts are deteriorating.

Car just went from complete cool to over heating and engine light to flash. Checked to make sure I had fluids. All full. While I had car turned off turned it back on after 15 minutes and car went straight to overheating again. Had a garage look at my car, there’s a 3 cylinder misfire on just the one side of the engine. They agree and don’t understand why this happened or how.

I have had fairly issues with overheating and have had several repairs done including: 12/29/2019 - radiator fan assembly and electric fan motor replacement 10/02/2021 - replace thermostat and gasket & replace coolant recovery tank 8/9/2022 - installed module, control, sensors and fuel filler (all done with regards to presumably fixing the overheating and rpm fluctuation while overheating) I paid $3k for the August 2022 repairs and they told me they could not replicate the issue but believe that the repairs are related to the problems I am experiencing. I use my car to drive to periodically drive to another town (60 miles away) and then to drive to the airport for work (about 25 miles). After August, I took my car on the 60 mile drive and 30 miles in, the car started overheating. I called the Ford dealership and they told me to check the radiator (it was full and slightly bubbling). The idea of driving a vehicle that is not safe (not going to make it to my destination after repairs intended to do so) is terrible. When I got back home (terrified after having to drive the same car back 60 miles later that evening), I took the car back to the same Ford dealership. After a couple of days, they told me they think it is the internal water pump. When I asked them if that would guarantee the fix, they said no because no codes are showing up and there are no other signs of overheating (so it should be the internal water pump). This does not seem right to me. The car has electronic sensors everywhere and the dealership put me back on the road with a car that started to overheat within 30 miles.

Bad apim module.

My backup camera has stopped working and turned black just like other Lincoln models that are being recalled and I believe my car should be included in the recal. . . Also my transmission leaks fluid just like other Lincoln's that are being recalled for the same issue, I feel like mine should also be included in that recall as well.

Passenger door ajar alert comes on randomly, even when the passenger door hasn't been opened or shut in days. It has happened when the vehicle is stationary and when it is in motion.

Door ajar sensor stays on even though doors are closed. Doors does not lock and lights stays on draining the battery.

Touch screen not working.

The rear camera works intermittently. At times the view is upside down or right side up or black.

The sunroof of my 2011 Lincoln Mkx , exploded while I was driving on the 401 in canada. (I am us citizen). A portion of the roof must have blown off onto cars behind me. The sound was similar to that of a gun being fired at close range. It was a Friday, mid-afternoon, and the start of a 3-day holiday, the freeway was bumper to bumper. Shattered glass rained in on myself, my 14 year old son and his friend. I maneuvered to the side of the freeway. At this point, we cleaned as much glass off from ourselves and out of the car as we could. I am so thankful, that the shade happened to be closed, I can't imagine the glass that would have fellen on us if it hadn't of been. We careful cleaned glass off from the shade however, there was a small rim of the glass still attached. With flashers on, I slowly managed to drive the car off an exit, while the sunroof shade continued to tear, fragments of glass continued to fall on us. Since I was in a foreign country, I did not have cell service, this is why the decision was made to drive the vehicle and not call a tow truck. I feel that we were very fortunate that we happened to be fairly close to a Ford dealership, 5-10 miles. At this time, the dealership is still assessing the damage. I have had to rent a vehicle and will be making arrangements to travel back to canada in a weeks time to hopefully, reclaim my vehicle. The insurance claim has not been made yet due to the unknown amount of damage at this time however, my insurance agent is aware of the incident. After researching, it is my understanding that Ford had had a class action suit filled against them due to similar incidents. I will be contacting Lincoln once I return back to the states. Photos, insurance claims, rental forms and cost of repairs will be uploaded at a later date.

The abs hydraulic unit module has gone out in my vehicle. The module controls the abs breaking system. As of today 10/18/17, the abs breaks are not working on my vehicle. I took the vehicle to the dealership and they said it would $1,000 to replace the module. Lincoln will not stand behind the safety of their customers or their vehicles and fix this safety problem. Recalls on this same module have been done on the Ford edge, which is the same vehicle. However, Lincoln says that recall was VIN specific and does not apply to the Mkx. This is a major safety issue that needs to be addressed by the NHTSA.

The 8 inch touch screen has gone blank. Can not access phone, audio, temp. Or navigation screens. This occured upon starting vehicle.

Navigation no longer working- they are requiring me to purchase new sd mapping system. This should be illegal- how can they make me spend more money on a new mapping system when the navigation is working? it's a way to make me spend unnecessary money. I do not mind having outdated maps. Also the backup camera is no longer working, it is not that old of a vehicle. I have older iphones with camera's working.

The sirius travel link (thru mylincoln touch) does not work and has not worked from day 1 of picking up the SUV on 9/27/10. At first Lincoln would not admit any issues but now they finally do but do not say when a fix will be available. I should have been told that option was not working before they had me sign a lease for the car. Alot of us are paying for something that does not work and do not know if it ever will.
