There are 3 owner-reported lighting complaints for the 2013 Lincoln MKXin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
The vehicle liftgate no longer properly latches and has opened suddenly. The interior audible warning sound continuously alerts and the interior lights sometimes fail to turn-off. The 'Liftgate Ajar' warning light remains on. This problem seems similar to the recall on 2011 Lincoln MKX.
FRONT HEADLIGHTS (DRIVING LIGHTS) GO COMPLETELY OUT WHILE CAR IS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS STARTED WITH THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT WHEN THE CAR WAS LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD AND NOW BOTH HEADLIGHTS GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. THE LIGHTS CAN BE TURNED BACK ON BY TURNING THE SWITCH OFF AND THEN BACK ON. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE??
WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED, THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE DOORS NEVER LOCK WHILE DRIVING. ALSO THE DOOR CAN BE CLOSED AND THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL NOT BE ON BUT AT ANY MOMENT THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL COME ON CAUSING THE FACTORY ALARM TO GO OFF AT ANY TIME, DAY OR NIGHT. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE SINCE 2013.
Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA. A high complaint count may reflect vehicle popularity, not defect severity. Data sourced from NHTSA public records.
