Lincoln MKZ

Around end of May or beginning of June 2026 a check engine light came on in our 2018 MKZ. The code showed cylinder 3 misfire. We called our local Ford dealership for diagnosis.

The contact owns a 2016 Lincoln MKZ. The contact stated that while reversing, the rearview camera was intermittently inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
