It has about 28K now. It does the clunk in any mode. I have found that it is between the 1-2 shift, and usually happens when letting off the gas about the same time it is ready to shift. Of course, the warranty has expired due to time. It does have an extended warranty, but at this point I think I will just deal with it.

Rattles can be just ridiculously difficult to find. I have had one for almost two years and finally figured it out. I was taking a box of kids building blocks to a friends when it tipped over in the trunk and they spilled all over. While trying to grab a few that were up against the back seats, some fell through to floor beneath the seat. So I flipped the seats forward to try to reach the blocks, and to my surprise, I found two golf balls on the floor that had to have been there since I bought the car - used. At a certain speed, there must have been just enough vibration to make the balls bounce a bit on the steel floor. You just never know!

On the app my 2017 only shows Tire Pressure as "Monitoring". It would be nice to see the individual readings.

My battery was replaced in my 2017 on 6/19. I was fortunate that it barely started and I went right to the dealer for a test/replacement. They put in: BXT 94RH& 730 Motorcraft battery under warranty. There is no mention of a reset. Any idea what that does, and what happens if it is not done?

I get somewhere in the 15-16 MPG range in mostly city driving using 91/10% ethanol. I tried using 87, but could tell quite a difference. In the winter I use 87 sometimes because with the snow and cold, you can't really enjoy the extra performance anyway. On the highway, I can get in the upper 20's.

You might want to try a salvage yard.

Just an uneducated suggestion, but you might try turning off traction control, if you already didn't, and see if that changes anything.

Check for recalls here: https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls Looks like there were a couple of steering related recalls.

I have had nothing but trouble with both the app and web versions. Sometimes my service history shows up, other times, not so much. It must be some poorly written software, or the database is unstable. Probably outsourced.

I was treating my interior with leather conditioner today, and am wondering what all is real leather. From what I can tell, they are the steering wheel and center cover, seat covers, headrests, center console armrest, & door panel armrests. I have a '17 with the drivers package. Any additions or subtractions from my list? Thanks!

The toughest thing for me was finding a 27mm socket. I ended up getting one off Amazon. I have an extended warranty also, but I think it will be fine. I am trying to keep the receipts and logging my oil changes on the Lincoln website. It is probably the easiest oil change I have ever done. My drain plug is a plastic twist off variety, so than is even easier than most.

You also might consider getting a Carfax or equivalent to see if it has been in any wrecks. It may also show maintenance.

I was just looking at the Lincoln site for what the 30K maintenance is for my 2017 3.0tt AWD. Note that the second line says to replace the fuel filter.... 20K30K40K60K80K90K100K120K140K150K160K180K200K Replace engine air filter Replace fuel filter Inspect wheel ends for end play and noise Rotate and inspect tires; check wheel end play and turning noise Change engine oil and replace oil filter when indicated on vehicle message center or every 12 months, whichever occurs first MEMO: Gas engine; Up to 6.0 quarts of oil (IOLM) Inspect cooling system and hoses Inspect complete exhaust system and heat shields Inspect automatic transmission fluid level (if equipped with underhood dipstick) Inspect brake pads/shoes/rotors/drums, brake lines and hoses, and parking brake system Inspect and lubricate all non-sealed steering linkage,ball joints,suspension joints,half and drive-shafts and u-joints Perform multi-point inspection

I saw a Mercedes the other day with the front emblem lit up. Not sure if that is a stock or non-stock item. It looked to be LED and was pretty cool. I doubt I would spend the bucks to get one though.
