  Nice Car, But Quality Control Problems - 2009 Lincoln MKS
  By EEG - May 7 - 5:23 am

  The 2009 MKS has a lot of technology within the vehicle, but suffers from Ford/Lincoln quality. My new MKS has several issues which should have been detective by the dealer. First, paint is missing on the rear bumper cover seams, one side of the bumper cover is not flush with the 1/4 panel. There is a bur/bump on the edge of the trunk by the rear window. Also, there is some beige splatter underneath the clearcoat on the front fender and a crooked spreaker grille on the front dash. Having owned Acura, Lexus and Mercedes and all have been flawless, this is a huge letdown. The dealer now has to repaint/realign all these issues and the paint option was an additional $590. I will stick to the imports

  You take the good, you take the bad... - 2009 Lincoln MKS
  By sully77 - January 21 - 6:04 am

  I purchased my 2009 MKS approximately one month ago. Thus far Ive had mixed reviews on it, but overall Im happy with it. I took it to the Appalachian Mtns of Virginia where I encountered 6" of snow. The front-wheel drive handled it without any issues or problems.

  Loses some of its Lincoln charm - 2009 Lincoln MKS
  By ponchoman49 - August 21 - 10:03 am

  Just bought the new Lincoln MKS. The letter names car manufacturers are all going over to are getting confusing. Even the saleman had to think a second when I asked to see the MKS. That aside, this car provides reasonable performance, ride comfort and room. The electronic features are worthy such as SYNC which lets you store a load of songs on board and talk hands free on the phone. The front seats are comfy and rear legroom is abundant. The dash is well laid out and looks attractive. The exterior leaves me a bit cold however with its plain slab sides and indistinct rear end treatment. The sides in particular are too plain and would benefit from a door molding to break up the tall doors.

  Cooled Seats? - 2009 Lincoln MKS
  By joe - October 31 - 9:40 pm

  I live in the great state of Texas where its hot. I bought the car mainly because of the comfortable seats. The cooled seats were a great option to me and worked great at the time of purchase. Now the bottom part of the seat gets really cold and the back of the seat doesnt cool at all. Its been to the dealer 3 times. The first time they said nothing was wrong with it; they must not have looked very far. The second time I made sure to show them the problem; they repaired it. The seats worked great for 1 day. I brought the car back to them and now they say there is nothing wrong with them. They must be blind or dont know how to make the repair. Im very dissatisfied with the dealer and the seats.

  ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, ETC. - 2009 Lincoln MKS
  By revanitra - February 4 - 9:35 am

  The 2009 Lincoln MKS was my first and only desired car that year. Initially when I leased it everything appeared to be fine. About 1 mo. after lease, door locks began to malfunction opening by themselves without depression of the button on the key fob, next the rear doors began to collect water sounding as though a swimming pool was behind you. The water slished and sloshed back and forth. This was really scary! Next the Sync system has a problem. You can hear all phone conversations like a loud speaker outside of the car!!! Not a Mercedes/BMW!!

  By nikkis dad - September 29 - 5:46 am

  the wrap-around finish fo the front drivers side stops like a cut off pipe and cuts into yhe back of the right leg.The trunk headliner is stuck on with double-sided tape which continues to give way.Ford has not come up with a fix for either of these problams.
