MKZ 3.5L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 62,000 miles

2012 Lincoln with just about 60k miles and the compressor already failed! In addition, metal shavings were found throughout the system and the condenser has to be replaced and all the rest flushed out. The engine compartment is so densely packed, it takes half a day just for disassembly and reassembly.

MKZ 3.5L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 103,517 miles

Passenger side A/C blowing warm. Upon trip to Lincoln service they explained that vehicles have a cooling line that rubs against manifold. Replacement of line appears to have solved problem until recently when the entire system went warm. Going in for service when appointment is reached. A/C has never been icey like a premium autos should be. Have to use seat A/C to feel totally cool in warm temps.
