“My vehicle has had 4 instances where it will not start and vehicle notes that the battery is low. This has left me stranded and needing a tow or jump. Dealership had been unable to determine the draw and had replaced the battery but issue has occurred since. I have contacted Lincoln but they have not been able to assist with getting this fixed as it is an intermittent issue. The car has failed to start at the dealership once. A search online will show this is a common issue and no one has found a solution to the problem.”

“On 5/18/19, car was sitting outside all day. The temperature reached95 degrees that day. That night as I was leaving, I decided to open the sunroof and when I hit the button, the panel would only open 1/2 inch. I thought something was blocking it so I closed it back.

I have had the battery replaced and it continues to happen. My car is at the dealer as I write this complaint. Lincoln stated that: they checked for lights coming on could not verify at this time check oasis and no symptom for concern let sit over weekend and still no light confirmation. …”

“I live in the midwest and it was cold outside and I was driving home with my brand new state of the art Lincoln. When I was heading home my car indicated low battery, which I assumed would charge as I continued to drive. Next thing I know, everything was turning off (all internal displays, headlights, wipers, steering) due to conserving battery while I was on a major interstate in a blizzard. I thought I was going to die, on the interstate in a blizzard at 60 MPH. I finally got over to the side of the road and it went into park. The dealer called and stated it was a bad alternator. …”
