Example complaints

“I recently leased a ford MKC. It came equipped with side view mirrors that would automatically fold in when the vehicle was close enough to an object where you could get closer for convienence. A good example is when you go through a car wash and the side mirrors ford in so they do ot get damaged during the car wash. If a person forgets to press the botton to have the mirrors swing back out so a person can drive safely that does not occur automatically. In essense those mirrors are closed and I could be doing 55 and not have access to the side mirrors if I forgot. …”
NHTSA complaint #11060668, filed 2018-01, 5,000 miles“The windshield wipers on the Lincoln MKC malfunction in the rain. I experienced several instances where, under flood advisory conditions, the windshield wipers did not work. I turned the car on and off several times. I change the wiper automation settings several times and still the wipers would not work. I believe this is a very hazardous issue for anyone driving a 2017 Lincoln MKC and do not believe it should be taken lightly under any circumstances when lives are at hand. In the above set instance I was driving during the day with rain sleet and snow under flood advisory conditions.”
NHTSA complaint #11047165, filed 2017-11, 4,000 miles“A popping sound occurs in the back roof area when the door is open wake up event and even when the tailgate is open. After the popping sound, the warning sound for the closing tailgate does not sound. Major safety issue. This car has been in for repair 5 times without resolution. Subwoofer, latch regulator, latch and the tailgate shocks have all been replaced. This occurs with audio off and when the car is off upon entering the car. This issue has been report since first oil change”
NHTSA complaint #11088544, filed 2018-04, 55 miles“The car was not on. It was parked in the driveway of a residential home. The lift gate was open. The arm that lifts and supports the lift gate broke suddenly. It sounded like an explosion and a large pressurized spring (greater than 2 feet in length) propelled from the lift gate arm. This spring struck a child in the face with so much force that it knocked him down, with cuts and bruised to the child's face (near the eyes). The force of the spring also caused a damage to the bumper. If this happens again, it has potential to cause significant bodily harm.”
NHTSA complaint #11045083, filed 2017-11, 8,000 miles“DearNHTSA, My rear camera is not working properly on my 2017 Lincoln MKC. I reported this incident to you earlier this month. As of yesterday Wednesday May 28, 2025 WXYZ NEWS IN DETROIT, stated a recall on rear view cameras. I truly hope my car will be included in the recall. Thank you very much!”
