Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Failed Components: Sunroof Drains become clogged and overflow into trunk well, causing electrical shortage, mold/mildew, and water damage along headliner and side airbags. Safety Risk: Electrical shortage causes fire risk, and mold mildew build up in car for asthmatic makes it damaging for air intake myself and others inside vehicle. Side airbags at risk as over flooding runs down pillars along side wiring. Reproduced: This has occurred twice, in my 2013 & 2017 Lincoln MKZ. No documentation is listed in either manual for maintenance around drains or possible flooding risk. …”
