The manual lift gate will not always open. When in drive or in park while turned off, there is a sound coming from the lift gate like it is trying to function.

While driving at 5mph, the ignition button was accidentally pushed in. When this happened, the engine immediately turned off, the vehicle rolled for a second and then the car came to a halt as if I slammed on the brakes. The ignition button is located next to the computer screen and the passenger had accidentally pushed it in when he was changing the radio station on the computer screen. *tr

A few months ago, the engine light came on. Multiple diagnostics confirmed a vapor leak. We were told if we didn’t fix it, it would affect nothing. Now, if we put gas in, the car struggles to start or won’t start. This happens all the time since April 2025. We looked at recalls and there were 2 with the fuel system that were apparently done. We feel that they may have been improperly repaired? The dealer service said this problem happens all the time with Lincolns. We’re afraid to put gas in the tank. We don’t know what will happen next? Car stopping at lights? Too much vapor coming out now? Repair is all over the place price wise wherever we check…but we don’t want to be stuck at a gas station or have someone light a cigarette near the car with gas vapor leaking out!

Automatic shift lever bushing broke disconnecting the shifting cable from shift arm. Immediately disabled vehicle while in motion. There has already been a recall for this for Ford products of this era, why not Lincolns? Very dangerous if this had happened at high speed!

This is my 3rd Ford/Lincoln vehicles that I have needed to replace ALL lugnuts due to 'swollen' lugnuts! I assure you that I am not soaking them in water. Give me a break. Make them address this issue already. I put in a complaint to NHTA for my prior vehicle without resolution. 200-300 dollars to replace. Lincoln complaint desk acknowledges the common complaint and only say that it has been brought to upper managements attention. We all are aware that they will do nothing about it until their hand is pressed! Just a note..prior to these wholesale lugnut problems, I replaced 1 in my 45+ years of driving. How many have you replaced? Cmon already. Rich
