Example complaints

Back-over prevention (rear camera): “The rear camera feed is very blurry. Often times it in usable. Sometimes cross traffic alert does not work. I know this is part of the recall but with no solution available should I be entitled to a rental while waiting?”

NHTSA complaint #11708157, filed 2026-01

Electrical system: “My 2022 Lincoln Corsair has an open NHTSA recall (25V789 / Ford 25SC4) for a high-voltage battery cell internal short circuit that can cause sudden loss of motive power. There is currently NO remedy available. Before this recall was issued, my vehicle already lost power while I was driving on the highway, creating an immediate crash risk. This confirms the defect is active in my vehicle. …”

NHTSA complaint #11702610, filed 2025-12

Other or unknown: “I bought my car new. It has 5070 miles and the battery went dead. The car is in the garage when not in use. The dealer would not replace it and I contacted the Lincoln company and hear no response from them.”

NHTSA complaint #11643038, filed 2025-02

Brakes: “The contact owns a 2022 Lincoln Corsair. The contact stated while driving approximately 20 MPH and depressing the brake pedal, the braking system malfunctioned and the vehicle continued driving forward without slowing down. On one occasion, the front passenger’s side wheel made contact with the curb due to braking failure. The cause of the failure was not yet determined.
