Do yourself a favor and don't buy one of these. They are junk!

Same problem here with my 08 MKX. Plain GARBAGE! Thanks Ford!

I have a 2008 MKX that also has horrible paint. This is by far the worst vehicle I have ever owned. The paint is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to problems with this vehicle. I will NEVER buy another Ford/Lincoln product ever again! What junk you produce! You should be embarrassed!

I havd an 08 MKX and it's junk. My best advice would be wait for the new Cadillac crossover to come out. I'll sell you mine for what I owe on it.

I feel your pain. I have around 2,000 miles on my '08 MKX and it's been in the shop more than I've had it. This will most definitely be my LAST Ford product ever purchased. I've had my '08 BMW almost a year now and it hasn't been back to the dealer since! This p.o.s. lives at my dealer! I don't have enough room to list the problems with this thing. And Ford wonders WHY they can't sell vehicles??? HELLO???!!!??? Oh yeah, and bbf and akirby, don't blame the dealers on these problems. This is all CRAP engineering and CRAP manufacturing! I mean, how can you polish a turd???

I'd be happy if my brakes actually actually responded properly.

Waaaaay too much for my MKX. I will sell it CHEAP! Any takers????????? I have around 2,000 miles on it!!!

The brakes suck on my 08 MKX also. I was on my way to my local BMW dealer today (hopefully get rid of this p.o.s.) and almost wet myself when I hit the brakes and they didn't respond properly. Way to go Ford engineering! YOU SUCK!

Yep, I have been dealing with it since day 1. I have around 2,000 miles on it and it's been in the shop more than I have had it. My dealer can 't fix the hard pull to the left either. I'm going out this weekend looking at BMW X3's. If I don't lose my butt on a trade in I will pull the trigger and get rid of this p.o.s. Worst vehicle by far I have ever owned!

Gotta love Ford. The same thing is happening with my 08 MKX. What junk.

If you bought it brand new you must be the original owner. Did you not change the oil when you were supposed to? Keep in mind it is a Ford and nothing would surprise me.

Ford should be ashamed of themselves. TEST THE FRIGGIN VEHICLE AND WORK OUT THE PROBLEMS BEFORE YOU SELL US YOUR JUNK! I also own an import and I frequent their site often and there is NOTHING like this in there. All this crap that is wrong with these vehicles is RIDICULOUS! WAKE UP FORD!

Welcome to the world of being a Ford owner. I've got an 08 MKX that I'll sell you on the cheap.

Don't buy one of these. They are CRAP! I'll sell you mine for much less than I paid. I have under 1000 miles on it!

Lincoln USA would go bankrupt if they offered free maintenance for 4 years. Oh wait, they are almost there.

If you do a dealer trade BE CAREFUL! I am going through hell right now because I didn't get stuff in writing from the dealer and now I am stuck with a very low quality MKX that is a week old. Just get everything in writing because these vehicles are sub par in my opinion.

Thanks for the info. I'm just extremely frustrated because I am too trustworthy. I have read the booklet and have been through this with the explorer I turned in. I said I would never buy another Ford after the experience I had with that. I thought Lincoln would be different. Anyone wanna buy a new MKX? Under 1000 miles and I will sell it for less than I paid!!!???!!!

I got the vehicle on a dealer trade. I was told by my dealer they would fix the issues. No I didn't get it in writing. Yes I'm an idiot for believing them. I just thought that when you spend the kind of money I did on this vehicle the issues would be taken care of. I am used to dealing with BMW. One simple phone call to the dealership and they are at my house picking up the vehicle and fixing the problems no questions asked. You live and learn. I learned not to buy American made vehicles any longer. It's a shame too. My in laws work for General Motors. I get employee pricing from them. My wifes grandparents retired from Ford. I get employee pricing from them also. I can't complain about the price and the financing. 0 pct. for 72 months, but I would have gladly paid a little more for the peace of mind of owning a quality made vehicle. I will just have to wait 3 years and trade this in for something foreign. What a shame. I'm done ranting now...

Deleted, see below.

Was told it would be fixed. Like an idiot I believed them. That's ok though. I will simply spend my money on a real vehicle next time. No more American crap for me.

I just purchased a brand new fully loaded 2008 MKX. I would love to talk to quality control at the factory. I would be embarrassed to let a vehicle like mine leave the factory. I will post about the poor paint job in the proper forum. I am here to tell you about the poor quality control for the interior. Upon receipt of the vehicle the dealer noticed a blemish on the dash. The dealer told me they would fix it for me. It was a spot roughly 1/8" high, 3-4" long, by 1/8" wide. It was an extra piece of dash that was from not being molded properly. They fixed it by making it worse. I now have a spot roughly 3" square on the dash. The spot is shiny, off colored, flat and not textured like the rest of the dash. This is in plain view and very easy to see. I asked the dealer to replace the dash and they said it's not under warranty. Mind you this vehicle is 1 week old. I escalated this to Ford and they said they would investigate. Well, they called the dealer and they told me they can't do anything. I called Ford corporate offices and they pretty much said the same thing. They are having a field service rep. look at it next month. I was told that this doesn't affect the mechanics of the vehicle and they probably won't do anything. If this is not replaced I will NEVER buy another Ford or Lincoln. NEVER. I own a 2008 BMW 328I and couldn't be happier. I was going to buy a Lexus or a BMW X5 and decided to "Buy American". Well, you get what you ask for. I got yet another "American Made" poor quality vehicle. I can't believe that a company facing bankruptcy would try to protect their image. It's quite obvious they don't care. They are losing thousands if not millions of customers due to poor quality and poor customer relations. It seems that they have lost yet another.
