Not many issues but the few problems I ran into were major.
My car no longer fits my recently growing family and no longer able to fit everyone in the vehicle wishing to have three rows of seats to resolve my current issue. Other than that I ran into a issue with the back up sensor causing the wheels to lock making it undriveable due to it not allowing car to move or drive. It was a lengthy period of time to find cause of problem and to find the cheapest way to repair which was a very pricey fix unfortunately.

This woud be a score of a used vehicle......
Folks panned this model as an overpriced Ford Edge - but the details and extras made it much more than that. 1st year of model refresh & new 3.7L V6 with the loaded Limited AWD model - Amazingly reliable with routine maintenance so far - after 190K still drives nearly as well and comfortably as the first 1K. Made dealership correct early known Lincoln SYNC issues with this model before accepted delivery - and never had the problems that plagued earlier buyers. Big secret they did not tell you was that these SUVs came with stainless steel exhaust systems and that the added towing package makes it essentially a light truck. For used car buyers known issues are 1) the halogen follow headlight system - To replace bulb & ballast is a simple DIY repair (if you are not shy to take off full front body/bumper panel as per YouTube vids). Otherwise Ford will force you to shell out $$$$ per side for the entire light assembly replacement just to change the bulb. 2) The car is essentially always 'on' with its version of the alarm system. The battery can prematurely drain down if not driven regularly - the battery is the most replaced item on my vehicle aside from oil and filters. 3) The 3.5 - 3.7 V6's have been targeted by some as a failure waiting to happen due to the placement and functionality of the water pump within the engine block. I know of no one who experienced this but just be aware. Otherwise Ford hit a home run with this model in my eyes.....

Lincoln MKX is a fantastic vehicle.
I love the technology package and the connectivity with my iPhone. Also the crash avoidance system is nice as it helps with collisions. It also has heated and cooled seats which are great during hot days and cold winter nights. The storage area behind the back seats is spacious and more than meets our needs.

My electrical system causes alarm to sound when it rains and windy.
Very comfortable and equipped with everything I need. Smooth ride and road friendly. Love the color and good on gas. I have no complaints or dislikes.

Great reliable and family vehicle.
It is a reliable vehicle that is never given me any mechanical issues. It is roomy enough for a family. Is great for trips. The back seats recline which are great for kids. At back has push button release seats for folding down easily. The kids love the seat warmers in the back. And has ample chargers for cell phones or tablets.

Heated steering wheel/seats great in winter. Cooling seat is great in summer.
I love the heated and cooling seats. The heated steering wheel. The leather seats are very comfortable. Amazing back up camera with alert features to help you. The size of the screen is helpful to very roomie but not to big. It is a very smooth ride. Gas mileage could better.

It's a decent size for a crossover suv and has a decent amount of amenities.
I like the back up camera. I like the side mirror indicators. I like the navigation.

Drives like a dream, stops on a dime.
Most comfortable car I ever owned. Handles well even in the snow. Looks nice people are always looking at it. Shiny black paint stays well, gas mileage is not bad either I always lose it in a parking lot. Its has heated seats and it also has air conditioned seats.

I enjoy the features my car has, XM radio, navigation, Bluetooth.
I enjoy all the extras that my car has. Unfortunately some of the parts are ridiculously priced very high. To fix a bulb in the front was over $200. In order to fix some things on my own special codes are needed or it is not an easy fix, meaning so many other parts of the car need to be removed in prefer to get where the problem is. This is even know some of the not complicated fixes.
Salena L
on February 3, 2021
Amazing car but needs minor improvements.
Some of the features that made me love this car is the seat warmers, sunroof, and sensor camera to help when backing up the car. All the seats provide comfort and the material used to make the seats are helpful for when it is time to clean. The only issue I have with the car is the sensor on the door which seems to be a common problem among Lincoln and ford cars.
Norma H
on January 17, 2021
Comfortable and spacious! Also we took a 9000 mile road trip this year across country and our Lincoln got decent gas mileage and was so comfy!
It has an amazing ride and very comfortable seating both front and back seats. Very spacious as well. Love all the cargo space and the way you can create more car options space by lowering the back seats. The back up assistance is terrific now that I've learned how to use it. The side mirrors are hard to adjust. Steering and braking systems are good. Not that crazy about the heating and air conditioning systems. Hate the volume control bar. Overall I love my vehicle.
Brandi V
on January 15, 2021
Great for travel. With screens in the headrest for the kids.
This is the car we use on long drives. It is great on gas, smooth ride. Great trunk space. The back seat is getting small for my growing boys but they will be fine. My rear camera is not working. The passenger seat stopped moving, I was able to change in 30 minutes.

2011 Lincoln MKX AWD review.
I love my Lincoln MKX. I have had it for three years. So far, no problems. I pay $50 for an oil change. Tires run about $125 a piece. Gas mileage is pretty average. I love my vehicle. It is a luxury to have for sure. Only complaint is sometimes I have problems with the rear view car not showing as clear. It is not that big of a deal to me cause I do not really rely on it so I never priced getting that fixed.

My car is great and would buy another one!
This vehicle is very safe and reliable. I love the blind spot alerts and the fuel economy. The apple sync is fantastic. There is some limitation regarding blind spots but they are manageable. I would also make the stereo system with traditional knob as the touch screen is somewhat cumbersome.
Scott S
on November 2, 2020
Great luxury vehicle with all the benefits
So far this vehicle has been wonderful. It extremely good in the snow. The ride is very comfortable and has many features that everybody should have. My only negative would be is it's only a 5 passenger vehicle. However this vehicle has plenty of room for 5 ppl and cargo.

This vehicle comes with air conditioned seats.
I really like how smooth this vehicle drives. It has always been very dependable and I have never had any kinds of problems with it. I do regular maintenance and take care of it. I really like the cash and how I can watch movies in the CD player when I am parked. The leather seats are awesome that get cold and hot.

2011 Lincoln MKX amazing car!
I have a 2011 Lincoln MKX. It is my second car to own and it is the most reliable and safest car. It has a/c and heat warmers in the seat. It has a huge touch screen radio and Bluetooth. It is the most amazing car. If I get another car it will most definitely be a Lincoln. I haven't had any issues with this car yet and I have had it almost a year. I have only replaced the shocks and that is because I let me sister borrow it and she hit something! I have leather seats and they're amazingly comfortable! Very spacious. Has a sunroof and the front window is huge and perfect! The side mirrors have this little yellow light that turns on when someone is in your blind spot! I would recommend this car to everyone.

Amazing car with great features.
I love the heated seats and steering wheel. Also has automatic seats. Very comfortable and reliable. Has a sunroof. Automatic windows and windshield wipers. Love the color. Handles well in the elements. Has an automatic hatch and auto start which is nice in the winter.
Victor J

My Lincoln is stylish even feel this way after the model being 7 years old.
I have owned my Lincoln 4 years. I find that it can have a little more power when I need to accelerate. It is fuel economy is 22. 1 including highway and local driving. The interior is very comfortable and it is general appearance outside and inside convince me to purchase.
Sarah C
on August 10, 2020
I love that I can change the color in the interior lighting.
I adore my car. I am so glad to have the AWD in the winter. I do have some things that I do not like about my vehicle, but as a whole, it is my favorite car. I love that I can put the seats down and have my dogs in the back, I love the AWD, and the size. I feel very safe in this car and will not hesitate to buy another Lincoln in the future. I did get a small rust stain on the side of the vehicle which I really do not like the look of. I was able to remove the rust but I worry that it will return and have trouble with it in the future. I was disappointed with the gas mileage, but buying an SUV I should have expected the lowered gas mileage.

Black Lincoln MKX with heated and cooled seats.
I love how it works overall. This car has been more than reliable, drives smoothly, has plenty of space and very comfortable. My issues are that I have an issue with the rear passenger side tire losing tire pressure more than all other tires (even after getting all of them replaced). Also, the sunroof broke down after about 7 years. The sync Bluetooth system is a little difficult to set up, which could be just the technology at the time.

2011 Lincoln MKX with Sunroof
With regular maintenance, this is a reliable vehicle and handles well. The features available are nice. It is a very comfortable vehicle to travel in with my family. The backup camera is quirky currently as it doesn't always work properly, but I haven't taken it to the dealer to correct the problem yet. Overall, I would say this is a very good vehicle

The Lincoln MKX is a great car. Great on the road, comfortable, no problems.
I really have not had any problems. I purchase the car in 2019, it on had 40,000 miles on it. I had a problem with a door handle. The dealership told me to bring it in it will take 5 days to fix and it would be 159. 00. I bought the part for 12.00 and put it on myself.

Lincoln MKX 2011 is an excellent car to have. I highly recommend it.
The 2001 Lincoln MKX is smooth and classy. It includes a navigation system, can be linked to Sirius XM radio and has a thx speaker system. The Lincoln MKX can also play DVDs. Each seat is adjustable to comfort with a heating and cooling option. You can preset your seat,, mirrors and steering wheel according to your liking.
Denise C

This car drives very well and it is comfortable.
I love the size, the interior and the fact that I've had no major repair issues. The only complaint I've had with this car was the voice activated navigation. It did not recognize my voice commands for a long period but its a little better now.
Anush J
on March 29, 2020
The heating option in the back & wheel heating option. The leather & wooden trim.
Lincoln MKX is the best choice for low maintenance and high performance vehicle. It is 9 year old car and we do not have any issues with it, which proves its durability. It is family friendly and gives a sense of security when driving. We absolutely love it.
Olivia L
on February 20, 2020
The driver assist is wonderful for trips. Overall I love the mks.
The mkx only has one problem that I have found on my 2011. The windshield stays fogged up. I don't know if it is a flaw in the model. We have tried everything. Even running the defrost it will fog up. Other then that one issue, I love the mkx. The driver assist is wonderful for long trips. I would by another Lincoln, maybe not the mkx.
Elizabeth P
on February 15, 2020
The Lincoln MKX is an exciting and comfortable vehicle to drive.
The Lincoln MKX has a lot of passenger and cargo room. It drives very smoothly. I have had very few mechanical issues and no rust on the exterior in the time I have owned my Lincoln MKX. It includes AWD, cruise control, heated and cooled seats, dual temperature control, and many other features.
Jean V

As comfortable as my favorite living room chair.
My Lincoln is very comfortable and reliable. I have driven it on trips that were 6 hours or longer without any discomfort or back pain. This is the most comfortable vehicle/SUV that I have ever driven. I have put 135,000 miles on it without any major problems beyond maintenance that you would expect with the miles driven.
Kelly B

My MKX has been very reliable. It works well for my family of 4.
I have been very pleased with my 2011 MKX. The heated and air conditioned seats and Microsoft control are at the top of my list of likes. I purchased the car used and I have been very happy with my itbe. I would consider buying another.

Awesome luxury and creature features.
Very comfortable with all the extra features for a nice ride. Remote start is very nice on freezing cold days. Smooth ride for long trips. Easy to maintain with on board computer and sync operating system. Easy connection to cell phone and other media devices. Heated seats and steering wheel are great in the cold winter time. Front wheel drive makes it easy to drive. Plenty of interior room.

Very comfortable when traveling, there is a lot of room in the back even though it doesn't appear that way.
Fuel mileage is a complaint for me, but other then that I really like the vehicle and enjoy driving it.

2011 Lincoln MKX: still reliable after 9 years.
Didn't really have issue besides the mytouch ford system. The vehicle is very reliable and very comfortable. It almost seems it will last forever but we all know that is not the case. Car I'm Driving smoothly and it is showing no signs of slowing down.

Comfort plus utility makes it the right blend of luxury and function.
It's a great luxury SUV. Utility of an SUV with some features I love. The heated and COOLED! Seats are great. The power fold-down rear seats are great. I love the full ceiling moonroof. Rides like a dream.

Lincolns, and they are awesome.
This Lincoln is the nicest vehicle I have owned by far. Based on the year, it has more base options and add ons than any other vehicles I've seen of its age. It had many options five years ahead of schedule from other makes and models. I have had zero issues with mine, and would highly recommended for anyone considering used or pre-owned.
Cheryl M

Two sunroofs that are push button controlled.
MKX has all the amenities offered. It is a very nice looking SUV. Gas mileage is not good but that should not be an issue if you are purchasing a Lincoln. Sunroof is great. Has two sunroofs. One for the front seat and one for the back seat. Has good cargo space and heated seats.
Bridget M

The mkx has a backup camera, leather seats, panoramic viewing and a smooth ride.

My Lincoln is a limited luxury edition.
Overall the vehicle runs very well. The heater and ac are reliable and change temperature faster than my previous vehicles. When driving on the interstate and I need to pass someone, it takes a minute for the gas to increase speed. This is not necessarily a problem but it does make it nerve-wrecking if it does not accelerate fast enough. It definitely one of the best vehicles I have driven.
Jenna W
on July 25, 2019
My best car I have had so far, very little problems.
I haven't had much problem at all with my car and I have had it for 3 years now, and I am even the second owner. The only problem I have had is with my brakes. My back and front brakes have locked up before in my driveway (not when I was driving) other than that, I hope to drive this car for a long time coming.

The nice black Lincoln 2011 MKX.

No problems with this car. Love it - perfect size - decent gas mileage - good performance very comfortable recommend seat warmers - wish they had in back seats too.

I don't know what to say.
I love my vehicles. I think it's a great car. I actually haven't had any problems until recently with the whole radio system going in and out. Which from what I hear is a common problem with this car and Lincoln just won't make it a recall fix. Other than that just normal stuff.
Cheryl R

This Lincoln MKX is fully loaded.
My Lincoln MKX is fabulous. It has all the bells and whistles, leather seats, two sunroofs, zebra wood grain, metallic color, dual exhaust, performance to date has been excellent. The ride is comfortable. It's a little big for me so I might get an MKC next time when I get a new vehicle.
Susan N

Love my mkx, comfort to the max.
We have had 2 mix, and have loved them both I will. Buy another one for sure, they drive so smooth. My husband is a big guy and he is comfortable getting in and out of the mix. I had a Lexus and he hated to drive it sincere had such a hard time getting in and out of it.
Teresa K

It's a very comfortable vehicle. I like being able to set the seat and steering to my preferences and my husband can set them to his. My favorite part is the keyless start and the remote start.

A car of comfort. Never had a car that felt like a glove.
The reverse camera would crash on me, carpeting was loose along the tramlines at the driver and shotgun, s floorboards. Stock rims where chrome plated and would peel after time. Headlight cover aged to fast (get cloudy). Seal on front windshield wasn't secured and had to be registered..

It's a smooth driving vehicle.
I love my vehicle because it has low miles, it's a luxury addition. I love my vehicle because it was very well taken care of for being 7 years old. The only complaint of my vehicle is I wish the interior was a dark color instead of tan, it shows all stains.

Really love a Lincoln, but need electric folding side mirrors.
I love this vehicle, but with all the extras I would have liked electric side mirrors that fold in. Also this car is not made for tall and big people. Not much body room. My husband has a hard time driving it. He is 6ft 2 in. 240 lbs. He is very cramped but for me it's great.
Jena Y

All of the features and look of my vehicle is great.
I have had some work done on it. I had the fan motor replaced three times and there was a defect in the brake system that the company took care of. I have also had to replace the canister valve for the gas tank. However, I love how comfortable it is. Spacious. And I love the features it has, radio displays, color changing, sun roof.
Jorge C

Pretty safety and a lot of comfort.
There is not problems at all and its running very good, and comfortable, very safety, and economic in gas, and got a nice visibility, next time I do need to replace my vehicle will be the same brand model but new year, there is nothing better like this Lincoln SUV.
