The rear view camera is intermittent. The camera listed for replacement is F2GZ19G490C. That was a recall item listed for the problem that we are having . It is intermittent and is a safety hazard as indicated in the LINCOLN MKX 2015 THRU 2019. WHY IS IT INDICATED AS NOT HAVING A RECALL TO MY 2018 LINCOLN MKX VIN [XXX] . IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CAMERA F2GZ19G490C IS THE CAMERA LISTED AS THE REPLACEMENT AND THEY LIST IT AT FORD FOR $560.68. THE REPAIR DEPARTMENT TOLD ME IT WAS OVER $600 AND IT WOULD COST $1300 TO FIX IT. SOMETHING IT IS WRONG HERE BECAUSE i CAN GET THE REPLACEMENT FOR ABOUT $60 DOLLARS. IT LOOKS LIKE A DENIAL OF SERVICE UNDER A RECALL AND A REDICULOUS AMOUNT TO REPAIR THE DEFECTIVE ITEM WITH THE SAME TYPE. i WOULD LIKE TOO GET AN EXPLANATION ON THIS . [XXX] AT [XXX]

The 3rd brake light lens has separated from light assembly while in a drive thru carwash.

July 25, 2018: upon starting car while stationary in a parking spot, dash light and info clusters did not light up. Upon further inspection, driving and brake lights did not work or light up. Turned off car, re-started. All lights worked, then drove to an appointment approximately 5 miles away in suburban traffic. July 28, 2018: while parking the car in motion near our hotel in fredericksburg, va (marriott courtyard downtown) all car lights went out. Finished parking car while lights remained out and then went to dinner. Upon returning to car 1 1/2 hour later, lights went on after starting car. August 7, 2018: when my wife was driving the car in a suburban area in motion, all lights went out. She immediately drove home and we called the dealer for service. On august 15, 2018 the ca

We had our first incident on aug 2 when my wife was driving. Car stalled at a traffic light and she restarted it . Transmission was in drive and she started to accelete to go ahead. The car itself went into reverse and almost hit the car behind her. She was extremely shaken and refused to drive it again. She called a towtruck to take it to our dealer. The dealer could not find the problem so installed an electrical device to record another incident. It then happended when I was driving, only 2 days after we picked it up from the dealer. I was driving on a 50 MPH road when the "engine has shutdown" flashed on the instrument panel I got it restarted and tried to continue driving.about 10 different fault codes appeared and we took cell photos of each code. It shut down again a few miles

This car has been in the shop four times for loose screws in the dash board rolls around this is going in a curve on hitting the brakes. Purchase the car the end of may 2018

Was advised by a law enforcement officer the high-mount stop lamp lens had detatched from the lamp housing. Apparently, the adhesive holding the plastic lens had deteriorated and allowed seperation of the components. The LED circuit board is now exposed to the elements. This without a doubt will cause the CHMSL to fail due to water and salt intrusion. Additionally, the non-diffused LED's are blinding drivers behind this vehicle at night. This failure occurred on the highway, and the lens nearly struck a car behind me.

Tl* the contact owned a 2018 Lincoln mkx. While the contact was stopped in traffic, a 2004 Chevrolet tahoe crashed into the rear of the contact's vehicle. The bottom of the driver's seat slid all the way back and the seat back reclined. As a result, the seat belt did not restrain the contact because he did not move forward in the seat. The contact sustained injuries to the back, knees, wrist, and neck. The contact also suffered a concussion. Medical attention was received. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent lot. The insurance company took possession of the vehicle and deemed it a total loss. An unknown dealer was informed of the failure.

Faulty catalytic converters. Ford has a CSP for the 2018 Lincoln mkx 3.7L engine and only included police driven Mkx's which is totally unfair when they're well aware that Faulty/failing emissions catalytic converters were installed on all of them and they fail and produce p0430 codes regardless of driving habits, I've never driven any of my vehicles harshly and maintain my vehicles, yet since I've owned this 2018 mkx since September of 2024, the rear catalytic converter had to be replaced and now the front catalytic converter is giving the same p0430 permanent code. Its bias of Ford to only extend police vehicles coverage and not regular consumers knowing that this emissions part is faulty because catalytic converters don't normally fail prematurely unless the parts are faulty. The origi

My vehicle has had emissions vehicle since before I owned it up to now. The catalytic converter has been replaced 4 times which is unheard of. Its presently giving the same codes/issues. The last catalytic converter replacement was November of 2024. It has to be a computer programming issue as my mechanic express. Im asking that this be looked into by Ford. I've owned 1973 Ford Pinto as a teenager, a 1998 Ford Explorer, 2000 Lincoln navigator, 2005 Lincoln aviator and now this 2018 Lincoln mkx has been the only vehicle with this type of issue. Maintenance records can prove this vehicle has properly been maintained before and during my ownership. I only use Shell, sunoco and other top tier 87 octane gasoline in this vehicle and have records of that too. P0430 code has come back on even

Vehicle was traveling w/b on new york state thruway when a deer jumped in front of and was hit by car. The air bags deployed ( steering wheel, knee bags and passenger side curtain.) problem is they did not deflate ! This made it impossible for driver to step on brakes or to see ! Very dangerous situation extremely lucky no serious injury or other vehicle involved driver had hard time getting out of vehicle (observed by state police)

I have hankook ventus s1 noble2 245/50r20 tires and vehicle has 19827 miles on them. Couple of month ago they start randomly drop pressure without any visible damage, I pumped them back and continue drive. Yesterday when I came out of store one of tires had 0 pressure. I put spare tire and drove 1/2 mile to belle tire store to fix it. Technician refuse to fix a tire as thread worn beyond repair (for 20000 miles?). I brought tire home and used my air compressor to pump it up and inspect myself - no damage found (no nails or other visual cuts or tears). All other tires had lower pressure as well from 27 to 31 PSI. Those hankook tires are terrible and required constant pressure check. 20000 miles only to replace $250 tire is terrible and not save to drive.

Rear overhead break light ripped off while driving down the road.

Both right and left side view mirrors folded in on their own without being commanded to while the vehicle was being driven down the highway. Key fob was stowed and secure so it did not trigger the system. Was unable to adjust the mirrors back out until the vehicle was shutdown and restarted. Vehicle has 30,000 miles on it and this never happened before!

Vehicle (SUV) floor board and truck had standing water from unknown source. Suspect rear hatch and/or glass roof design allows for environmental contamination to enter. Water travels down to floor and pools. For example, spare tire was found to be submerged. Rear seat and trunk carpeting were moist (saturated) to the touch. Concern: If water in the vehicle is undetected and is allowed to pool for long periods of time, three things will happen: 1. Accelerated corrosion and loss of function for any electrical wiring. 2. Standing water can develop mold, impacting air quality through long term and repeated exposure. Impact of vehicle occupants health. (In our instance, Mom & newborn) 3. Accelerated corrosion of vehicle internal structure. For example, seat fasteners. Item was discovered
