While driving on the freeway with the cruise set at 70MPH, the sign recognition software all of a sudden picked up the 35MPH speed limit from the adjacent service drive and abruptly slowed the vehicle down to 35MPH. This happened on another freeway which had a service drive so there is definitely some issue with the sign recognition software. This issue occurs in the same location on these freeways so it is repeatable. Reported to the dealer but they can't find an issue and have never heard of this. I am reporting this in case other vehicles could be affected as it could be very dangerous in heavy traffic to abruptly slow down that dramatically.

The transmission (possibly the start/stop) jerks and is intermittent. When coming out of the stop, the acceleration is sputtering. The dealer said the problem is known to Ford but there is not yet a fix. The vehicle has less than 10000 miles travelled.

2021 LINCOLN CORSAIR- Consumer states: " At the suggestion of James 0., I reported an important issue with Ford Motor Company in which a serious injury was inadvertently caused on December 2022, due to the use of two key fobs at the same time involving a 2021 Lincoln Corsair. Two key fobs were present when my husband was siting in the drivers seat with the engine running, and I firmly grabbed the handle of the back right door. With a key fob hooked on my belt bag, the door locked unexpectedly, and I fell back on cement, seriously injuring m) left hand, requiring surgery. According to more than one Lincoln dealer service manager, the presence of two keys confuses the computer and should not be used. There is no indication of this kind of problem in the user's manual. This situation has been

The backup camera turns blue and makes it unusable. I took the car to fix this under a safety recall. However it is still not fixed. This has been going on for 6 months which is unacceptable. Both the dealer and Lincoln (Ford) says I will be contacted when a fix is available. As I said it has been over six months and they still say that are working on it. Unfortunately it will probably take a kid to get run over before something is done.

The contact owns a 2021 Lincoln Corsair. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V048000 (Back Over Prevention); however, the failure occurred after the recall repair. The contact stated that while reversing, the rear view camera failed to alert her when there was a pedestrian or vehicle. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer on three separate occasions. The dealer replaced the rear view camera, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,216.

I received the recall notice, dated August 2025, regarding the rear camera on my 2021 Lincoln Corsair. To date, the vehicle has not been repaired. I have received no notice from Lincoln or from any Lincoln dealer regarding the parts for this issue. This is unacceptable. Please advise. Thank you for your assistance.

This 2021 Lincoln Corsair is equipped with Auto Start/Stop technology. Auto Start/Stop Technology automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a full stop and idles for more than a few seconds. Once the driver puts pressure on the accelerator, then the engine turns back on. It's simple, and some say it can save between 3-5% of gas in stop-and-go traffic. My car while stopped with the engine off, at a red light for example, after approximately 45 seconds, it will re-start itself and lunge forward. It does it every time, when you are stopped over 45 seconds and the engine is off. ( In Auto start/stop mode). Lincoln Dealership has verified this problem by driving the car and confirming the problem, but does not know what is causing the engine to re-start itself

One day, the bright headlamps stopped working. The light on the dashboard indicating that they are on still works but the lights themselves, do not turn on. Yes, it is available for inspection. There was and has been no warning. It has not been looked at by a dealer or anyone else.

Back up camera screen turns blue preventing the driver from seeing anything. Was recalled and the fix was applied but problem still exists. Six months ago I Was told by dealer, ford is working on the problem and will be notified when to come back. Called dealership several time since and was told no fix is available at this time.

For most of 2025 and now into April 2026, I have been unable to use my car’s electric capabilities. This is due to active recalls for which no permanent repair is available. Temporary fixes have not resolved these issues. Thus, for an extended period of time, a primary feature of my car, a feature for which I purchased this vehicle, has been unavailable to me. I want to be clear: •The defect involves a major advertised and purchased function of the vehicle (plug-in hybrid operation); •The condition has persisted for a year; •Neither Lincoln nor the dealership have provided a reliable repair or accurate timeline for resolution; •Interim measures have failed to restore functionality.

Transmission realized a catastrophic and destructive failure. The vehicle immediately lost power and speed. Scattering debris and transmission fluid on the highway. Causing a safety concern for me and other drivers. Confirmed by a dealer. Inspected by the dealer. I experienced irregular transmission shifts and shuttering at times. I was told by the dealer service department that Lincoln considers this normal operation.

A 2021 Lincoln Corsair with AWD may have a faulty AWD module due to an incorrect transistor that prevents the system from switching between all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive. This can cause the vehicle to remain in one drive mode, potentially affecting handling and performance WARNING LIGHTS AWD FAULT, PRE COLLISION ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE, SERVICE ADVANCETRAC, AWD OFF

I remote started my SUV I got in after 7 minutes put it in reverse heard a loud noise and my panoramic sunroof shattered in on me. There was nothing on it, nothing hit it, it just shattered and rained glass down on me.

My 2021 Lincoln Corsair has 20,691 miles on it. At a dealer visit on June 9, 2025 for an oil change and routine maintenance I was told by the dealer that the rear brakes needed replacement. A friend of mine with a 2022 Corsair with 18000 miles on it has the same issue with rear brakes being worn out. This appears to be a common issue with late model Escapes, Corsairs, and Ford Edges. Rear brakes should never wear out in 20K miles unless the calipers are sticking which is what is happening. This appears to be a safety issue as the rear brakes could fail at any time with these low mileage vehicles.
