2013 Lincoln MKX

Engine not specified

22000 mi Nav lockup and problems with bluetooth connect to music player. Headlight aimed incorrectly. Up/down is adjustable but left/right is not. These are adaptive HID lamps. If left-right is out of spec entire headlamp assy must be replaced. 
27200 mi The MKX has dual climate control. A/C would blow cold on driver, but passenger side always full HOT. The dealer updated climate software which solved the problem. 
83000 mi

US $40
1) Factory GPS would not calculate a route. 2) SYNC system rebooted itself multiple times 3) Then climate controls quit responding. FIX the problem turned out to be the memory card for GPS maps. I think the old one had somehow created a short. With card removed all worked normal except no GPS. New (with updated maps) card purchased off Ebay for $40 fixed all problems. Did not have to perform any updates on SYNC system.
