2011 Lincoln MKX Exterior lighting Problems

“2011 Lincoln MKX electrical system software recall Lincoln issued a recall (10v659000) NHTSA campaign #11v128000 which required replacement of affected bcms may have the potential for an internal short. If an electrical short develops, an overheating condition may occur which could result in a vehicle fire. Our Lincoln started to develop issues only a few weeks after purchase. The turn signal would repeatedly burn out. The dealership we purchased from replaced the bulb & housing several times with no permanent fix. After some research we found the recall notice & called Lincoln directly. …”

“2011 Lincoln MKX - problem - intermittent driver door ajar warning shown on instrument cluster - cause dome lights to illuminate, and repeated door closing attempts to end door a jar warning. Warning happens when stationary and / or in motion, resulting in an unplanned stop. If diving with door ajar warning, doors will not stay locked, questioning if doors are really closed.”

“Left headlamp stopped working. Replaced headlamp and it will still not illuminate. Dealer said it was an electrical wiring issue into the ballast. Cost to repair is $2,200.00. Lincoln concierge refused to assist. This is a safety issue because the oncoming drivers perceive the right headlight as being the left headlight in the dark causing them to veer into our lane. This is obviously a design flaw that has a serious safety concern.”

“Door ajar light stays on. The doors don't lock, dome light stays on, and the alarm goes off multiple times during the night. These things all cause multiple problems. At night with the dome light on it is distracting and lowers visibility. My battery has ran down multiple times.”

“Two of the doors show an unlocked alarm, even though the doors are fully closed. This prevents the doors from being locked, and the lights to remain on. I cannot set the car's alarm as it will set itself off.”
