Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The AUTOSENSE wiper function has been erratic & not working properly since my Aviator was a yr old (2022). None of the Autosense wiper stalk positions worked correctly to clear the windshield enough for safe visability. I had dealer check this problem 3 times in 2023 & 2024 & they indicated no problem was found & no codes appeared. …”

NHTSA complaint #11681607, filed 2025-08

“Despite multiple backup camera recalls & fixes, the backup camera blurs visibility & engages the backup collision avoidance system when there’s a steady rain thereby preventing me from backing car up my DW & parking in garage. The vehicle repeatedly stops & engages the rear collision avoidance system so much so that I had to turn it off in settings to back my car in. Cleaning the backup camera lense did not improve this condition. It appears the system cannot differentiate between rain & an object.”

“The contact owns a 2022 Lincoln Aviator. The contact stated that while driving approximately 75 MPH, there was a loud banging sound above the contact’s heads. The contact became aware that the sunroof had fractured into several pieces, leaving a large hole in the sunroof. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer to be inspected or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 51,000. The VIN was not available.”

“THIS REQUIRES A RECALL ASAP. Dealers are well aware of this problem as is Lincoln CHQ but Lincoln refuses to address it. Rear camera cannot differentiate between steady rain & an object which then causes car to engage the collision avoidance system which then prevents ability to drive in reverse gear. There have been many rearview camera recalls on this car & each has made things worse. The ONLY way I can drive car in reverse (in rain) is to TURN OFF collision avoidance system (insane). Having to turn off this safety feature when it’s needed the most (in rain) is VERY dangerous. …”
