So in the last two days the MKX has done some weird things. 1) After sitting for a couple hours the Vista Roof magically vented itself and rolled down the two front windows all the way. Then the Vista Roof did not want to close. I had to drive it for awhile before it would close (it was about 38-degrees out). 2) The navigation screen was so dark no one could read it. The lights were not on and the brightness of the LCD was normal. Several months ago I pressed the close button on the Vista Roof and it opened it further. I just blew it off as a temporary glitch. Has anyone else had weird issues like this?

Has anyone noticed their Vista Roof rattling when you go over a big bump? The rattle comes from the rear skylight, it's that black plastic bar up in the front of it. Is there a fix for it?

From what I've read on here I'm not the only one that is confused about the navigation system in the MKX. The help menu has a list of voice activation commands, but there is no apparent way to use them. Anyway, I have my service manager looking into this. He showed me several pages of correspondence he has exchanged with Ford people (some manager, and an engineer) about it. He seems to think that Ford will issue a software update for it so we can either use it or get rid of the menu for it. I'll keep you all posted if I hear anymore.

So my MKX arrived at the distribution center in KC last Wednesday. The KC office promised it last Friday. Today is Monday...still no MKX. Now they are saying tomorrow or Wednesday. I'm not holding my breath. From KC to here, its about a 2 hour trip. Why it is taking them a week is beyond me. I can fully understand why Ford lost $12.5 billion last year. The company is still operating like it always has...at least in order processing and customer service. The dealership has been great though, part of the reason I'm not on the phone ripping Ford a new one because of the slow shipping.

Welcome! I like your Edge! It looks good playing in the winter weather.

I completely agree. Jrod, you make our wait a little more bearable. :shades: I hope your father has better luck with the shippment of his MKX than mine. It was built Monday, and isn't suppose to arrive until April 2nd.

Oh yeah. The ERL says it will be built next week. And the lady at Lincoln said it is scheduled to be at the dealership on March 9th. Can't wait!

Why am I not surprised that the customer relations person was wrong.? :wacko: Thank you!

Hey jrod, is there an update on mine?? According to Lincoln customer relations it was "being produced right now" when I called yesterday.

From what I understand, all dealerships are allocated a certain number of MKX's per month. This applies to all dealership in North America, not just large dealerships. So if your dealership had a lot of MKX's ordered prior to yours...chances are, their allocation is used up for awhile. [i may be wrong here, but that's the way I understood it] It was about 5 weeks between the order date and the date my MKX got serialized. The reason it took so long was because of the lack of allocation. Unless an employee on here can help you out further, you probably need to call customer relations and see what the deal is. On the order sheet, what priority was the order (should be 10-15)?

I've never seen a DVD-based navi NOT be able to play DVD's. The vehicle canNOT be in motion while the movie is going though. As soon as you put it in a gear, the movie will stop playing.

:happy feet: It's further along in the process than I thought! The ERL has been saying it's scheduled to be built the week of Feb. 26th since the 8th. Maybe the build date has been pushed up since it is already blended? Thanks a lot jrod!!!

If it's like most DVD-based systems, you can watch DVD movies in it while the vehicle is in park.

Finally got a VIN for it! 2LMDU68C27BJ13934 Thanks!

*Adaptive Headlamps (they turn when the vehicle does) *14-speaker THX Sound System (AMAZING!) *Heated and cooled front seats *Heated rear seats *More sound deadening materials *Real wood trim in the interior *Better materials in the interior (more luxury-like) *LED taillamps *Standard leather seats That's all I can think of at the moment.
