What it says about you

Opinion

The MKX with a real name and a much better interior. The screen spans the whole dashboard and you have opinions about it.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

8 model years on record, 231 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has 1. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.

The years to look at closely: 2019 (transmission). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.
