Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY 2016 MKX, PURCHASED IN JUNE OF 2016. THE EXHAUST SYSTEM HAS BEEN LEAKING INTO THE CABIN. I ACTUALLY TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE, BUT THE CAR DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE. THEY CLEANED UNDERNEATH THE EXHAUST LINES AND IT HAS IMPROVED. THE VEHICLE IS USUALLY IN MOTION, I LIVE IN AN AREA WITH HILLS USUALLY AFTER CLIMBING UP A HILL OF A CITY STREET. I HAVE NOTICED THE SMELL LINGERING EVEN AFTER I'VE BEEN OUT OF THE CAR. I'VE SEEN ON OTHER SITES WHERE OTHER LINCOLN OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED AS WELL. I'M POSTING THIS MESSAGE AS I BELIEVE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM ISSUE FOR FORD IS BEYOND JUST THE FORD LINE AND ALSO LINCOLN.
