This vehicle with less than 100,000 miles, that is less than 8 years old has an engine failure. This is due to a design defect which is known to Lincoln and Ford Motor Company as they have a technical service bulletin in regards to the coolant intrusion and engine failure. Lincoln is doing nothing to help fix the car with a faulty engine. This car will sputter when accelerating.

Had one headlight issue for months that I knew about. Told BCM issue but the BCM for this vehicle has been discontinued. Was pulled over by the police only to be told the taillights are out. Took it back in and was told electrical issue that the dealer needed to address. Already knew it was the same issue, the BCM. Unfortunately, I have to get rid of this car, and it is still being sold. This car should be labeled a lemon as you will not pass an inspection once this happens and the part needed is no longer available, or repairable.

Our car is in excellent running and cosmetic condition. It has been well maintained and garaged and never in an accident. Recently my wife was driving and was getting angry gestures, honking, and yells from other cars. She discovered that her breaklights and blinkers were not functioning. It is an intermittent problem. It took the ford dealer multiple days to be able to recreate the problem. They state that the BCM needs to be replaced, but that it is a discontinued part that they cannot fix. It was discontinued in 2016. They also said they have at least one other car at their dealership with the same issue. I don't understand how they can just wash their hands of a safety issue for a car that is less than 7 years old.

When the weather is hot (over 85F), the backup camera and alerts randomly stop working. The screen either goes black or moves up in multiple frames.

Driver side Headlight goes on and off. Signal light not working. Dealership said new BCM is needed and unfortunately they have been discontinued/obsolete for this vehicle
