    - Ware, MA

    We haven’t had the car for a full year yet and already have now had our 3rd front windshield cracked! It’s either the glass is too fragile or the shape of it. I’ve never had this happen with any car ever! I’ve also read online several other car owners complaining of the same issue.

    - Sebastian, FL

    The vehicle doors lock on their own. Also the keyless entry keypad on the drivers door does not respond so entry cannot be made using that method. This is very dangerous and possibly fatal if one of us were to exit the car let's say to pump gas and all the doors locked with a grandchild still in the car. I have spoken to the Lincoln service department but their response is that they do not know of any such issues. I believe this first happened once or twice last year but it now seems to happen monthly. We have changed the battery in the key fob with no improvment.

    - Media, PA

    Seems to be an electrical problem with the car. i have had it in for repairs 5xs now cant seem to fix it or cant find the problem. The entire ADAS system fails at different points. Sometimes i get warnings. One time entire car went black while driving on highway. Lincoln claims no faults were stored. Head lights light on their own while parked and locked or sometimes they don't work at all. Rear tailgate opened while driving. Ventilation system displays in Chinese. This has been going on for a little over a year now.

  • 2017 LINCOLN MKC
    - Middleburg Hts., OH

    My 2017 Lincoln MKC has engine coolant leaking in to the #4 cylinder. On start-up the engine runs rough, and the check engine light is on. LINCOLN/FORD has a Technical Service Bulletin #22-2229 covering this issue. I believe this is a common problem involving a large number of these engines. LICOLN/FORD will not pay for any replacement costs. I have spent $1414.08 in an attempt to repair this problem. I believe this also causes my car not to be able to pass the Ohio E-Check.

  • 2018 LINCOLN MKC
    - Rockford, MI

    Dealer service technician states the a crack in the engine block is allowing coolant to enter the cylinder causing misfiring. This appears to require engine replacement with only 59000 miles on the vehicle. This is a common problem with the 2018 engine and could result in a fire.
