Steering is by far the dominant complaint theme for the 2010 Lincoln MKT, accounting for the largest share of owner reports by a wide margin. Owners consistently describe electric power steering failing suddenly and without warning while driving, leaving the wheel significantly harder to turn. Several reports note the failure was accompanied by warning lights on the dash, including a stability or traction-related indicator. The engine and structure categories each draw a smaller but notable share of complaints. On the structure side, owners report subframe rust on the front end severe enough that repair shops flagged it during unrelated work, and a recurring moonroof failure where the side retention hardware breaks and leaves the roof unable to close. The steering failure pattern is the clearest signal here, sudden, complete loss of power assist while the vehicle is moving.
