UPDATE with more info Oct 4,2018 My car was hard starting and the Nav screen said it was shutting down things to conserve battery. I started the car and drove it to the dealer. Said battery was bad and replaced it and drove home and drove it on the 5th, 6th. Oct 7 2018 I look at the new updated MyLincoln App and I have a msg from car saying battery is low. (Oct 7 1:15AM) Battery was at 4 volts. Called Lincoln Roadside and verified and jump started car. Being Sunday I decided to keep the car and not have it towed to dealer and place on a trickle charge after driving it around about 30 minutes. Battery showed 12 plus volts. Oct 8 2018 Drove to Lincoln dealer and told him story above. Oct 9 2018 5PM Service Provider called and said that couldn't find any issues over night and put battery on charger and to come pick it up at noon on Oct 10. The only thing that has changed it I updated the SYNC3 to version 3.0 a few weeks earlier. Not sure which build and will turn off my wifi connection when I pickup car. Could that be the drain while parked in my garage? Thanks

I have a 2016 MKX and have not had any problems. Oct 4,2018 My car was hard starting and the Nav screen said it was shutting down things to conserve battery.

My 2016 MKX battery has drain on it from some component onboard. On Oct 4th my MKX sounded funny and showed on the Nav screen that it was shutting down things to conserve power. Got it jump stated and to the dealer who replaced the battery. OK now it is Sunday 3AM and I get a health message from the car that the battery is extremely low. It was down to 4 volts and had to jump start and now have it on the charger. Will take it to the dealer 7AM in the morning. Nothing is left on and the only thing I did about a month ago was update my sync3 to version 3. I have read many forums and it seems some modules are not shutting down. Any help would be appreciated if you know anything similar about this. Thanks Iggyaz

Interesting your upgrade shows you having a different # GB5T-14G381-AN Mine shows online statement having this HN1T-14G381-LG Now I have navigation. Does your have Nav?

Yes that is the build I installed also.

2.2 version

Since installing the only thing I have noticed is that on startup the map seems to take longer installing. I get the buffering icon for about 5-10 seconds before I see the map and road. It used to be a few seconds the most. Do you get that?

Thanks for your update mfam16. I decided to go for it and install what I had. After the full install I ended up with version 2.2.16280 Everything is working great so far. Did notice a change in the screen background color and décor. Not sure but it just may be my imagination. It was now a brownish background. I will have to check and see if that can be changed.

I might as well start this threat as I have recently heard that Lincoln will release its version of the Sync3 firmware update. Many Ford have gotten it already but for some reason Lincoln is holding off and will release it sometime this month (Jan 2017) They have 2 version 1 for non-Navigational systems and 1 for Navigational systems. I have seen placed you can download this file but I'm waiting for Lincoln to install for me or maybe my modem and wifi will update while my MKX sits in the garage. Can anyone explain how this would happen? I'm guessing the MKX will do a random check on its own and use the wifi connection I have setup in my MKX? I want to paste a list of the update information but unable to paste it into my message.

I also heard the 2016 MKX Sync3 with get an update from V1 to Version 2.2 shortly. (This month Jan 2017)

Here is the Latest 2016 Lincoln MKX Owners Manual V2 Oct 2015 2016-MKX-Owners-Manual-V2.pdf

Cosmos36 So why don't you test on your car to see if you have the same leak. AC - ON Recirculate - ON Fan - ON Accurate onto a highway at partial or full throttle and tell us what you smell? Being in a cool climate is irrelevant to our concern.

During my recent recall for Recalibration of Throttle Body I asked about the exhaust smell. They gave the typical answer that they have not heard anything and I asked them to keep that in my cars file as an open item. I have read the letter one previously posted here which is yes we have a problem with exhaust gasses in the car but don't worry about it as it won't kill you. LOL As other have said if I bought a high quality and costly car of this caliber I would expect a better solution. So anyone buying a Ford or Lincoln expect exhaust gasses to enter your cabin when you accelerate with recirculate air on. Maybe one day they may tell us why it is happening and from what?

Update after dealer checked. Acknowledged they drove it and did smell the exhaust fumes.(rotten egg smell) but was unable to track down where it was leaking from to get into the air system. It happens in regular outside circulation mode. Will have to check and see if it happens while in recirculation mode. This needs to continue to be addressed as it is a major health risk even with the letter stating it is within government guide line limits. It still stinks up the car.
