LINCOLN Complaints

WHILE DRIVING AROUND 40 MPH A DING AND THEN RED TRIANGLE APPEARED WITH MESSAGE TO SAFELY STOP, FELT AS IF ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WITH NO OTHER WARNING. I HAVE ALREADY HAD ONE AIR BAG REPLACED AND NOW HAVE BEEN INFORMED THE DRIVER SIDE NEEDS TO ALSO BE REPLACED SO THIS IS NOT A GOOD TIME FOR CAR ENGINE TO SHUT OFF IN MIDDLE OF DRIVING. THANKFULLY NOT ON INTERSTATE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME SOMETHING SIMILAR HAPPENED WITH BRAKES AND POWER STEERING LOCKING A FEW MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS. I CAN'T GET APPOINTMENT AT DEALER UNTIL MID MAY BUT WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS LIKE THIS REPORTED. I DO SEE ON A COMPLAINT WEBSITE WHERE IT HAS BEEN REPORTED BY QUITE A FEW PEOPLE SO IT WOULD SEEM TO BE A PROBLEM. I WOULD SAY IF YOU WERE ON INTERSTATE THIS COULD BE CAUSE OF A DEADLY CRASH AND THEN TO HAVE THE AIRBAG RECALL ON TOP OF THIS. I AM AT LEAST HOPING THEY WILL HAVE AN ANSWER TO FIX AS I'M SCHEDULED FOR A ROAD TRIP IN JULY, BUT I WOULD NEVER DRIVE THIS CAR AND FEEL SECURE WITH THIS ISSUE NOT BEING RESOLVED. THIS FOR SURE SHOULD COMPLY FOR A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LINCOLN TOWN CAR. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V704000 (STEERING). THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THE RECALL REPAIR COMPLETED IN 2015. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 165,000.

DOES NOT GIVE ME ANY INFO ON ANY VIN NUMBER IS PUT IN. GET THE 4 COLORED BLOCKS CIRCLING AND THEN STATES LOOKING FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THIS VEHICLE? NHTSA OFFERS MORE SAFETY INFORMATION BASED ON A VEHICLE'S YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. CHECK SAFETY RATINGS, RECOMMENDED TECHNOLOGIES AND OTHER SAFETY ISSUES.

RECEVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE LETTER. I NEED A RENTAL CAR OR LOANER CAR FROM DEARERSHIP FOR MY OWN SAFETY WHILE I AWAIT THE REPAIR OF MY DEFECTED DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG. MY VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT THIS POINT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 LINCOLN CORSAIR. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED TO OPERATE AS NEEDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BACK-UP CAMERA WOULD MALFUNCTION ALONG WITH OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WEST HERR FORD LINCOLN SERVICE (10 CAMPBELL BLVD, GETZVILLE, NY 14068) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH RODENTS CHEWING SOME OF THE ELECTRICAL WIRING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PLASTIC COVERING THE ELECTRICAL WIRING WAS SOY BASED WHICH BECAME AN ATTRACTANT TO THE RODENTS. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 7,529.

DOOR IS AJAR LIGHT FAILS INTERMITTENTLY. THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO COME ON WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS AND BLINDING DRIVER. WHEN DRIVING THE INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON BLINDING ME TEMPORARILY.

UNEXPLAINED CRACK IN WINDSHIELD. CRACK APPEARED WITHOUT ANY EXTERNAL OBJECT STRIKING THE WINDSHIELD. TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE 70S AND NOT FREEZING TEMPERATURES ALL YEAR (LIVING IN FRESNO CA). NOT SURE WHEN IT HAPPENED, BUT I NOTICED IT WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 7 MILES.

WHEN TRAVELING DOWN A BUMPY ROAD, I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL JUST AS I HIT A RATHER LARGE BUMP. THE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY WENT TO THE FLOOR. FROM THAT POINT ON, I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES JUST TO GET THE BRAKES TO ACTIVATE AND SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH VALVES STICKING IN THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ON THE FORDS AND LINCOLN'S. IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, I HAD TO REMOVE THE 40AMP ABS PUMP FUSE AND THE 10AMP ABS MODULE FUSE. I NOW HAVE PERFECT BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE, BUT THE ABS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT ARE ILLUMINATED ON MY DASH. THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. LUCKILY, I WAS TRAVELING ON A ROAD WITH NO TRAFFIC. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, SINCE THE EARLIER VERSIONS OF THIS VEHICLE WERE RECALLED FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS.

MY PASSENGER REAR DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK. TOU CAN'T OPEN FROM OUTSIDE OR INSIDE. MY GRANDSON GOT STUCK. I HAD TO HAVE HIM USE A DIDN'T DOOR TO GET OUT. IF THERE WAS A ACCIDENT HE WOULD HAVE BEEN STUCK IN THERE. IT WAS STATIONARY

DASHBOARD ON VEHICLE IS WARPED DEFROSTER VENT IS OUT WINDSHIELD DOES NOT DEFROST PROPERLY OBSTRUCTS VISION WHILE DRIVING
