2010 Lincoln MKX — reported problems

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 125 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

• Air bags (restraint system)54 (43.2%)Official recall records for this system: 25, covering model years 2007–2018.
• Brakes25 (20.0%)Official recall records for this system: 4, covering model years 2016–2018.
• Seats6 (4.8%)Official recall records for this system: 1, covering model years 2016–2018.
• Speed control & accelerator5 (4.0%)
• Body & structure5 (4.0%)Official recall records for this system: 2, covering model years 2011–2018.
• Engine4 (3.2%)

Other / uncategorized: 3 classifications (2.4%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (2,828 records, model years 2007–2018) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), brakes and electrical system.
• Safety recalls (73 records, model years 2007–2018) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), electrical system and fuel system.
• Transport Canada recalls (66 records, model years 2007–2018) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), electrical system and powertrain (transmission & drivetrain).
• Manufacturer communications (1,427 records, model years 2007–2018) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, equipment & accessories and engine.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records

Mileage reported when the issue occurred

• 55reports included a mileage
• 85,519average of those mileages

This is the mileage owners recorded at the time they reported, not an expected failure mileage and not a prediction for any individual vehicle. The lowest and highest figures on record are not shown: they are unverified odometer entries that include zeros and implausibly high readings, so they would not describe a real range. A median is not shown either, because the stored figures are group totals and a median cannot be recovered from them.
