The Top 3 Commonest Lincoln Problems by Model and How to Fix Them DIY

The Lincoln experience is a singular one -- a combination of matchless capability, technological sophistication, and above all, enviable luxury. Your Lincoln vehicle? It exemplifies this, and the lifestyle to which you've become accustomed, best.

Maintain it accordingly, and it should run impeccably for many decades and miles more. Good thing you came to us here at Ford OEM Parts Direct; we're happy to offer advice on how. Here's a few issues you might run into occasionally, and what to do to take care of them.

1. Lincoln Aviator: Faulty Body Parts

If the liftgate on your SUV has cracked, most likely, it's only happened to the applique. This is a known issue for Aviator models from between 2003 and 2005, with 201,000 miles or fewer on their odometers today. Lincoln has a service bulletin on how to replace it without causing rear windshield damage.

2. Lincoln MKZ: Bad Transmissions

If your sedan is shifting hard, or it's having trouble shifting generally, it's typically because of a faulty module -- either a bad powertrain control module (PCM), a failed transmission control module (TCM), or both. These are known issues on MKZ models from between 2007 and 2017, with 200,000 miles or fewer on their odometers these days.

Often, all you need to do is take the car to a Lincoln dealer to get the modules updated or reprogrammed. If your ride's higher-mileage, though, the trouble could also be a damaged transmission, requiring a valve body replacement at least, but sometimes, a complete transmission rebuild.

Lincoln MKS: Failed Electronics

If the radio in your car is running noisy, or it isn't working right, there's a good chance that the SYNC technology (one of the modules in the electronics) is the problem. This is a known issue on MKS models from between 2009 and 2015, with 185,000 miles or fewer on their odometers nowadays.

The tech likely needs either reprogramming or a software update. If you need any help diagnosing and fixing this or any other problem, feel free to set up an appointment with an authorized Lincoln service center.
