The dealer I traded my MKZ to immediately sent it to one of their sister dealerships and it is now listed for sale as a certified Lincoln. So if anyone is in the market, the ad is below. Crazy car market.... they are asking a full $8000 more than I paid for it one year ago... 2018 MKZ Reserve

The one issue we never resolved in our MKZ before we traded it off was the flaky memory seats. We constantly lost position 1 altogether, it would just go away about every 4th time we'd start the car. And position 2 crept backwards little by little, and by this I mean when you'd shut the car off and the seat would go back into the easy exit position, then on restart, it would come forward but stop like a 1/4" back from the saved position. Eventually, after about 4 times, you'd be noticeably further back and have to reset the position. The warranty had run out and so I didn't want to pay to have this diagnosed. But it was an annoyance that contributed to our lack of connection to the car. Never had those kind of problems with our 2014.

Today we made the decision to trade off our 2018 MKZ. It was a beautiful car but neither my wife nor I developed the attachment to it we had for our previous 2014. So it was time to move on. We traded for a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Ultimately, the goofy auto market allowed us to trade it away and actually make a profit on the MKZ. Strange but true. So long. I have enjoyed my time on this forum and all the help I've received.

Sync is a great system, I really like the intuitive operation, especially the Sync 3 in my 2018. But as a whole, these Lincolns are electrically glitchy. I have not experienced the issue you described, but I have had many others.... with various system around the car. Like when I start the car and maybe 1 out of 15 times the seat doesn't return to the proper memory setting. Or when I walk up to the car and it refuses to sense the remote and I have to unlock it manually. Or when the seat cooling turns itself on even on the coldest January day. Or when my Lincoln Way app stops talking to the car for a few days and then just starts working again.

Indeed it was predicted. I'd sure hate to be having to fill up an F-150's gas tank these days

You should have made the dealer remove the sticker. I always tell them I charge to advertise on my car so either remove the sticker or we can work out an advertising contract.

Welcome. Nice car.

It would help if you told us what work you did, or tried to do, to the car. We might be able to share some ideas, but as already noted, it can be hard to diagnose via internet.

I bet it sold fast. I think that was too low of a price. The dealer I traded my 2014 to last summer resold it for $17k. It was a reserve, but didn't have every option, the HD radio had stopped working, and it had 76k miles.

That's unfortunate that no solution was found. What did you buy?

We have a second vehicle....a BMW 2-Series convertible. I'm long past the do-it-yourself need a truck stage and don't have room for more than 2 vehicles. If it doesn't fit in the MKZ we'll have it delivered.

I have no desire for an SUV or an electric vehicle. I think my next vehicle might be a classic Town Car. Or maybe my current MKZ might outlast me.

Well, I think the factory 19s on my MKZ are possibly a bit too big so I guess I'm going to get blasted in FB. Haha.

I should say, I visit this site almost exclusively on my phone, no pop ups ever with Brave. I tried it with Chrome and was greeted with a big old ad right on top.
