2021 LINCOLN CORSAIR Complaints

My 2021 Lincoln Corsair has 20,691 miles on it. At a dealer visit on June 9, 2025 for an oil change and routine maintenance I was told by the dealer that the rear brakes needed replacement. A friend of mine with a 2022 Corsair with 18000 miles on it has the same issue with rear brakes being worn out. This appears to be a common issue with late model Escapes, Corsairs, and Ford Edges. Rear brakes should never wear out in 20K miles unless the calipers are sticking which is what is happening. This appears to be a safety issue as the rear brakes could fail at any time with these low mileage vehicles.

This correspondence comes to you in regard to Safety Recall Notice 24S79 / NHTSA Recall 24V954. I received a notice in February of this year from Lincoln regarding our vehicle (VIN [XXX] )- a 2021 Lincoln Corsair Plug-In Hybrid. The notice instructs us to cease charging the high voltage battery until further notice. The recall notification states that further charging the battery could result in a vehicle fire. The notice finally states that a resolution and parts will be available during the second quarter, which is now. Unfortunately, to date I have heard nothing from Lincoln. As we are both retired , my wife and I purchased a Plug-In Hybrid to help save money on gasoline. For the past three (going on four) months, we have had to pay for gasoline for every mile we have driven. Additionally each day that passes is another day less we have remaining on the original warranty. It would be greatly appreciated if you could respond to this request letting us know when this issue will be resolved. We also ask that Lincoln be obligated to extend a cash penalty to cover the cost of the last four months of gasoline purchases, and finally, to extend the manufacturer's warranty on the battery components to a lifetime warranty - in order for us to feel comfortable in the resolution offered to fix the issue.

A manufacturing defect in one or more of the high voltage battery cells may cause the cell to develop an internal short circuit. Which could cause loss of power and increase the risk of a crash. It also states that battery thermal venting potentially resulting in the car to start on FIRE. There are 2 recalls that could result in the car starting on Fire. Lincoln is anticipating a remedy to be available by the end of June. The remedy right now is not to plug in the car to charge the high voltage battery. This car was purchased for the reason it could be plugged in and use electric not gas. There is a 3rd recall for the long block. So, the whole purpose of this vehicle was to save on gas. Which for 6 months is NOT possible.

My backup camera still turns blue. I have had the recall done to fix the issue but it still happens occasionally. Seems to be just random when it happens and no direct cause when it does happen.
