Example complaints
Electrical system: “The contact owns a 2021 Lincoln Corsair. The contact stated that the charging port cover had detached. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the charging port cover needed to be replaced. The dealer ordered the replacement part; however, the part was on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.”
NHTSA complaint #11484307, filed 2022-09, 5,000 milesEngine: “A manufacturing defect in one or more of the high voltage battery cells may cause the cell to develop an internal short circuit. Which could cause loss of power and increase the risk of a crash. It also states that battery thermal venting potentially resulting in the car to start on FIRE. There are 2 recalls that could result in the car starting on Fire. Lincoln is anticipating a remedy to be available by the end of June. The remedy right now is not to plug in the car to charge the high voltage battery. This car was purchased for the reason it could be plugged in and use electric not gas. …”
NHTSA complaint #11645068, filed 2025-02Air bags: “The front airbags did not deploy in a front end crash on 12/17/2021. GEICO has the vehicle at their salvage lot after they declared it a total loss. Lincoln has been notified and their response was to have a dealer check it out. However, when I contacted a dealer, they said that is not something they do either. So I have no idea where to go next since no one at Lincoln will take a look at it. The vehicle was only 2 months old with 5031 miles so it did not have any warning lights or anything else wrong with the vehicle. If more information is needed, please let me know and I can provide it.”

67% of the 3 complaints with a mileage were filed for vehicles with under 50,000 miles; the middle half falls between 5,000 and 86,384 miles.
