Against its own model years

The model year carries far more information than the badge, so this is the comparison that matters. The bar is how many complaints each rate rests on.

Issues owners of the 2015 MKT report

No phrase appears often enough in these complaints to describe them reliably.

When it breaks

Too few complaints record mileage for this model year to show a pattern. NHTSA largely stopped capturing mileage after 2021.

What NHTSA did

No NHTSA investigation covers this model year.

That is not a clean bill of health, and not a criticism of the agency: investigations open for many reasons and complaint volume is only one of them.

Questions buyers ask about the 2015 Lincoln MKT

Is 2015 a good year or a bad year for the MKT?

Too few owners filed complaints about the 2015 MKT in its first three years to say whether it is a better or a worse year than the others. The typical year is the median across its model years.

Is the 2015 MKT reliable?

Limits of this figure. It counts safety complaints filed with the federal government, which is a floor on failures and not a census: problems that only cost money are under-reported. Complaint rates also reflect how likely a brand’s owners are to file, which cannot be separated from how often the car fails. Sales are calendar-year and the denominator for this nameplate is automated checks only, not verified against an external source.
