Lincoln MKC Reviews

I purchased a 2018 Lincoln MKC Reserve with 36,700 miles in May 2024. First week had to have oxygen sensor replaced. 2 months later got gas and car was sluggish. Had to have fuel sensor replaced. The major problems started in May 2025 when the check engine light came on reading cylinder 2 misfire. Took to mechanic and they replaced all spark plugs and ignition coils (costs $350). All was ok until 3 weeks later when the check engine light came on again reading multiple engine misfires and cylinder 2 misfire. Took to shop where purchased and they advised it was spark plugs and ignition coils. Reminded them they were just replaced 3 weeks prior. Said it didn't matter. Needed done again costing another $327.

I purchased my 2019 MKC in January 2020. I was truly happy, because I thought they’re such beautiful cars. It had 60 miles on it and off the showroom floor. Well that means nothing. The car vibrated terribly since I brought it. Between 35-38 mph and then It smooths out and starts back between 60-75 mph. I’ve had 4 new tires placed on it and the vibration is better as far as my head isn’t bouncing but you can still feel it through the seats and stirring wheel, and passenger seat. For a Lincoln and a car >44k, I’d expected a better ride. It’s a pretty car beautiful. But to have less than 3k miles and already been to the shop 4 times, I’m dreading my purchase. It makes for horrible road trips.

I bought my MKC with 23,000 miles on it. Not only is it a beautiful vehicle but it drives like a dream. It has been a solid car with no issues, only standard oil, filter and tire changes. The Lincoln dealership has been very professional and friendly at every turn.

I bought my 2016 Lincoln MKC Reserve AWD used in 2018 for $25K. It has a great tech package with adaptive cruise control that I used to drive from Colorado to Illinois and rarely hitting the brake or gas pedal. What a joy for long drives. The turbo is makes this 4 cylinder fun to drive. Also love the panoramic sunroof. Its handling in the winter with snow and ice isn't great, had more confidence with my Acura MDX which was almost flawless in winter conditions. The reserve package is generous is luxury details such as leather, upgrade wheel mags and real wood trim on the interior. Overall, my experience has made me completely rethink Lincoln as a luxury American brand from struggling brand and "old man" car.

2019 Lincoln Nautilus.

I love my MKC. I love the soft leather seats. They are very comfortable and fit like a glove. It has a very smooth ride and gets decent gas mileage. It is well equipped with all the latest safety options. Definitely recommend it.

Paint on my car has spots all over the car and the car is six months old. Muffler came loose. Engine noise they said they can’t do anything about it. That’s the way it sounds. Management at Dealership don’t want to hear about it.

Just purchased my Lincoln MKC and had excellent service from Jennifer ** of Causeway Lincoln. She made the experience a very very very good deal. Top notch service. Will go there again and again. Very satisfied!

I have owned my 2016 MKC (AWD 2.3) for three years. Positives: Custom ordered to my specs, very smooth drive, good power, looks good, Synch easy to use. Negatives: Dash rattle from day one that dealers couldn't fix, small gas tank, cramped back seat area. I drove other luxury brands and this compared most closely to an Audi. I was offered a number of discounts and 0% financing which made this a steal compared to foreign brands. After three years and three dealers, I finally found a dealer who could fix the rattle (although they damaged the dash in the process and had to replace it). Will I buy another Lincoln? The jury is still out, but it’s a definite maybe. I love the way the car drives and looks and being able to custom order is a big plus. It’s especially nice to select a color. The foreign brands all offer a nice selection of color...as long as you want black, white, or silver.

I've had my Lincoln MKC for 4 years now, within the last 6 months, I've started to experience transmission problems. I owned a Lincoln 2009 LS before this car and experience the same type of transmission problems. Love the Lincoln brand and what it brings to the table, but really disappointed in experiencing two failed transmissions on their brand of cars.
