Owner report 11464682 · 2022-05-15 (May 15, 2022)
The screen in which my backup camera appears on seems to not be connected to my vehicle. This screen is also the primary method for controlling AC, radio, parking/camera, and general settings. Initially it was black and did not turn on. After doing some type of “reset” that was suggested during the Lincoln chat, it came on; however, it looks like it was updated with a Ford update, is blue, and looks completely different. It also does not sync to my vehicle and backup camera still does not work. I also have to manually turn radio off because the…

Owner report 11458323 · 2022-03-25 (March 25, 2022)
This luxury car has seat three seat memory positions: When you press the button the seat should go back to the computer-stored position (For the seat and steering wheel). The computer-stored position does not remember the position resulting in one getting jammed against the steering wheel and jamming ones feet into the peddles. While the seat memory recall feature is intended to be disabled unless stopped, the feature can be activated when moving slowly, like when approaching a stop at a stop sign or the garage door. The combination of the def…

Owner report 11758198 · 2026-08-20 (August 20, 2026)
At around 125,000, my car developed a shudder at switching gears. Ford has previously identified a problem with my car, which was manufactured before XXX, and purchased on or around XXX. They have since sent out a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB25-2154). No diagnostic codes are identified for the car, but since my car's extended warranty expired at 100,000 miles, I have a potentially dangerous car, where the torque converter may explode within the transmission and cause catastrophic failure. I drive XXX daily between [XXX], and [XXX], which…

Owner report 11472275 · 2022-07-04 (July 4, 2022)
The roof of my Lincoln 2022 roof leaks water above the driver seat during rain, while driving, or when the car is parked. I checked the sunroof, but there is no sign of a water leak from around the seal. It looks like the water is entering the roof panel either from the front windshield glass or elsewhere. The water drips on the driver seat and the steering wheel and has caused discoloration to the driver seat. This water leak distracted me while driving due to sudden water leak, it is not safe as it could cause accident.
