Three problems related to exterior lighting have been reported for the 2013 Lincoln MKX. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2013 Lincoln MKX based on all problems reported for the 2013 MKX.
The vehicle liftgate no longer properly latches and has opened suddenly. The interior audible warning sound continuously alerts and the interior lights sometimes fail to turn-off. The 'liftgate ajar' warning light remains on. This problem seems similar to the recall on 2011 Lincoln Mkx.
Doors fail to latch, with several reports indicating that the �door ajar� warning light on the dash appeared and cabin lights stays on while driving and stays on after closing doors! the only way to turn them off is to unplug battery! this is the 3rd time that I have been repairing different doors latch and I am surprised why car safety recall has not been issued yet on these models. It's very expensive to repair and it's a causing a major safety issue when driving night time with cabin light on and ajar warning system is off!!!! please note that same issue occurs every year with more than one door (2014/2015/2016/2017).
When the door is closed, the door ajar light stays on and the doors never lock while driving. Also the door can be closed and the door ajar light will not be on but at any moment the door ajar light will come on causing the factory alarm to go off at any time, day or night. It has been to the dealership numerous times for this issue since 2013.
