2015 LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID Complaints

Received Safety Recall Notice NHTSA 25V695 in October 2025. Lincoln has not been diligent in providing a timely remedy for replacing the rear view camera in my vehicle. Rear view cameras are not an item that should take 10 months to replace with a new component. NHTSA shouldn't allow car manufacturers to issue Safety related recalls that are not rectified with 120 days. An excuse of "parts are not available" is not acceptable when Lincoln is building new cars with this new rear view camera every day.

ALUMINUM HOOD AND WHEELS ARE CORRODING AND MILEAGE IS BEYOND ORIGINAL FACTORY WARRANTY AND NOT COVERED UNDER THE CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED WARRANTY. ON THE HOOD THERE ARE SEVERAL SPOTS WHERE THE PAINT IS BUBBLING. THIS IS A WELL-DOCUMENT ISSUE WITH FORD PRODUCTS SINCE THEY STARTED PUTTING ALUMINUM PARTS ON THEIR VEHICLES. ON THE WHEELS, CORROSION IS APPEARING UNDER THE TOP COAT. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 66,000 MILES ON IT. THESE MANY NOT BE SAFETY ISSUES, BUT IT IS A BIG PROBLEM THAT FORD/LINCOLN SHOULD BE HELPING THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH.

I HAD A FRONT END COLLISION. MY HEAD WENT THROUGH 3 AIR BAGS AT THE CORNERS. THE SEAT BELT STOPPED ME AND FOR WHATEVER REASON, THE RIGHT LOWER BUCKLE DAMAGED MY HIP JOINT TO THE POINT WHERE I CAN NO LONGER WALK BECAUSE OF PAIN WHEN APPLYING DOWNWARD AND SOMETIMES UPWARD MOVEMENT. THIS WAS ALL BECAUSE OF 1 ACCIDENT.

I WAS IN ABOUT A 25MPH FRONTAL COLLISION. I WENT THROUGH 3 AIR BAGS WHICH LEFT ONLY THE SEAT BELTS TO STOP ME. THE UPPER LEFT (DRIVER'S SIDE) OF THE BELT SNAPPED OFF BONE FROM MY CERVICALSPINE AND ALSO NARROWED A PLACE WHERE A MAJOR LEFT SIDE NERVE COMES OUT, LEAVING ME NEARLY PARALIED ON MY LEFT SIDE. ALL I HAVE IS A COPY OF AN MRI TAKEN IN A HOSPITAL.

SOME TIMES THE REAR BACK-UP CAMERA DASH BOARD DISPLAY WILL TURN OFF WHILE MANEUVERING IN REVERSE. SOMETIMES IT WILL TURN OFF TO ANSWER THE PHONE, WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING IN REVERSE. AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL FLICKER THEN RETURN TO THE HOME PAGE. THE DEALER SAYS ITS WORKING NORMALLY AND THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER ITS HAPPENED AT LEAST A HALF DOZEN TIMES SINCE I'VE OWNED THE CAR, IN THE PAST 2 YRS. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING IN REVERSE USUALLY WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE WITH PARKED CARS ON EITHER SIDE OF ME. THE CAR HAS A SONY INFORMATION CENTER AND BACK-UP CAMERA AND CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT AND SPEED SENSING RADAR. OTHER THEN THAT THE CAR DRIVES IMPECCABLY.
