Lincoln MKS in Missouri, United States Nov 2013 - Aug 2016
Dec 2013 4000 mi	The sliding cover attached to the steering wheel column from the instrument panel was detached and had to be replaced. Noticed same problem in loaner. Re-occurred when very cold, back to normal when warmer. I had to have the back up lights fixed they did not work. also at that time it easy access button pad had to be replaced because it was not working properly. Would not lock with the one touch option. Also one of the key fobs would only work if it was 2 in Also the drivers door had to be adjusted because it would not close properly. And the hood had to be aligned with the fenders.
Jan 2014 45300 mi	I had to have the access button replaced again because the one they put in caused wind noise. Ehen they fixed the relay for the back up lights they screwed up the relay for the auto high beam function and that had to be fixed.
Mar 2014 10000 mi	The access button pad had to be replaced again because it was not locking with the one touch option again. (This one still does not work properly). Also at that time the brackets that hold the drivers seat had to be replaced because the seat was loose and it would shift around when moving in the seat. They also had to replace both front wheel bearings as they were making a grinding noise.
Jun 2014 15000 mi	Wet doors. I have not as yet had the opportunity to take this to a dealer to resolve the issue. March update: still not fixed.
Aug 2014 19300 mi	I had to have the shroud re-attached to the column again. This is the third time. And it has come loose again. The repair lasted less than two weeks. The numbered entry pad is worthless. It works about 30% of the time for locking the doors. The dealer is refusing to do anything with it because it works once in a while. They say it works fine for them.
Oct 2014 20800 mi US $175	The brakes were making a scraping noise. Caused by restricted return on the caliper after pedal release. They replaced the pads, and cleaned and lubricated the caliper. AC took extremely long to cool. the System had a leaky Schroeder valve. Replaced, and recharged. March update: I think the AC is not cooling as well as it should again.
Mar 2015 35000 mi	Left front fender still moving more than it should caused by a damaged inner wheel well. Dealer wanted $900.00 to fix it, and the part is only $150. I may do it myself when it gets warm this summer.
