Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving my car it instantly lost steering no forewarning lights. It was very difficult to turn or control the car. I took it to Lincoln and they said they can't cover this exact thing these cars have a recall on because my car was past the warranty. They even charged me to look at it because its past warranty. My car is 4,000 miles past coverage soo they're charging me $2800 for a malfunction that is noted a flaw for this same car.”
NHTSA complaint #11362454, filed 2020-10, 154,000 miles“Was driving down the road about to merge onto the freeway when I noticed the power steering assist fault message in the display center and my electronic power steering had shut off. It was a 20 mile drive home with no power steering in below freezing temperatures. Had I been driving at a more busy time, I might have had a collision with another vehicle.”
