    - Nacogdoches, TX

    Since [XXX], I had my new car for five months and began receiving pre-collision assist not available and park aid malfunction. I have been receiving these since March. I took it into the dealer and they said that there would be a software update by May 1, 2025, this is the middle of June. I contacted them again around the first of June and the dealer told me the Software Updates would be available by the middle of June. This is a very dangerous situation because I do not have line assist and I don’t have any cruise. I feel like no one is listening to me since I still do not have the Software Updates and cannot use those functions on my new car. When this first occurred, my car threw on the brakes and sped up by itself. I need someone to listen. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

  • 2024 LINCOLN NAUTILUS HYBRID
    - Swanton, OH

    Lincoln Navigation has incorrect speed limit detection/programming on rural roads in Fulton County Ohio. When using the Adaptive Cruise, firstly the Speed Limit icon that is stationary on the dash, right in front of the driver, has incorrect speed limits. The speed limits icon also randomly goes from the incorrect speed of 45mpg, suddenly for no environmental reason, drops to 25 mph, then after a distance, goes back up to 45 mpg. The speed limits on all rural roads, other than municipalities, is 55 mph. While using the Adaptive Cruise, if someone is behind me, doing 55 mph that I've set my cruise to, and SUDDENLY I drop my speed to 25 or even 45 mph, there could most likely be a rear end collision. I have been in contact with Lincoln dealerships, Lincoln Concierge, Lincoln Way, Lincoln Over the Air... I just get passed around from department to department, having me reset my screens, but no knows how to fix. I've spent numerous hours on the phone. No one calls me back like they say they will. I've repeated this issue so many times to so many different people and departments, it's been extremely frustrating. If they could get me to someone that programs the navigation that Lincoln follows to re-programs those incorrect roads, all would be fixed. I believe Lincoln has it's own system because Google Maps and Waze are displaying the correct speeds at the exact locations.
