My 2019 MKC has gone through a transmission replacement at around 25k miles, and then broke down again around 40k miles with something called a “transmission sender unit” I believe.

The first transmission replacement was under the original factory warranty. A $6000 to $7000 repair if it hadn’t been under warranty. Then after I bitched about not having my MKC for over 45 days, so they extended me free through 72 months. Which I was glad when the second transmission repair was two years later for free - otherwise it would have been about a $3000 repair.

Bottom line, a great reliable vehicle overall. 72 month warranty just expired two weeks ago. I have 45k miles. Vehicle looks new, but if an engine or transmission gives out I really can’t afford major repairs. So I bought another 48 months directly through Lincoln. Call Lincoln Warranty to buy. No haggling. Fair pricing. Don’t buy from the dealer (they mark up the prices) - go directly to Corporate for best pricing. . And avoid third party warranties that don’t cover all the parts. My 2 cents. I sleep well at night now under the new warranty!

I bought a used 17 MKC 2.3 with 64000 miles last year. Barely drove it, but it vibrated in gear at stoplights. Took it to the Ford dealership, they replaced all the motor mounts. Problem was still there. They "thought" it might be a torque converter and something else. Estimate: $4500. Mind you this was a month after I bought it (local used car place with a good reputation, not the Ford dealership). I emailed them about selling me a car in that condition (was sold as is, as most used are now). They bent over backwards to make it right. They would replace the torque converter at no charge. Unfortunately it put metal in transmission so that had to be replaced as well. They didn't cover that. So all in all, it cost me $2000 for it all. Could have been a lot worse! So far I like the car and have only put 3000 miles on it in the 11 months I have had it. My daily driver is my 2008 Lincoln MKX with 204,000 miles.
