Common problems and easy repairs on a 2017 MKZ

The 2017 Lincoln MKZ Premiere is a very difficult car to maintain. Multiple panels, the grille, the bumper, the wheel well lining, the wheel itself, and the bulb housing must be removed to access any of the headlights, which will not allow for reliable bulb changes. The tail lights are also problematic as they are all LED, which will also require entire housing removals should any of them ever burn out. Reaching the battery bracket will be difficult as the engine air filter housing must first be moved out of the way.

However, the 2017 Lincoln MKZ Premiere does have its upsides. The battery terminals are easy to access for a jump start given their unobstructed access. Connecting your phone via Bluetooth won’t be a problem thanks to the clear instructions on the touchscreen menu. That same menu will also allow you to reliably set the clock without hassle.
