Example complaints

“I was driving and didn't notice this truck ahead of me as I switched lanes. Although fault is questionable since the truck we traveling extremely slow on the highway, my vehicle had plenty of time to stop with the Pre-Collision System. That system is intended to avoid front end collisions and apply emergency breaks if required. IT DIDN'T. I have video of the system failure from my Dash Cam.”

“I purchased a new 2022 Lincoln Navigator Reserve L and just took a 3000 mile road trip and used their Active Glide driver assistance extensively and have uncovered a MAJOR safety issue with their system. The issue I found is that when using the adaptive cruise control feature the system will sometimes read a car in the adjacent lane as moving in front of my vehicle and apply the brakes very hard causing my car to immediately and strongly slow down at highway speeds - with other cars behind me. …”

“Vehicle is subject to multiple open federal safety recalls with no repair remedy currently available from Ford/Lincoln.

A second recall involves interruption of driver assistance and visibility systems including rearview camera, forward collision warning, lane keeping, and related safety systems. This vehicle is operated in a commercial passenger rental fleet. …”

“1. The monitor on the vehicle went black on 2 separate occasions so far while the vehicle was moving. The screen rebooted but causes the retractable running boards to be locked in the up position. In order to address the running boards you must go into the settings and adjust the running boards from off to automatic. 2. During use of the active assist, the vehicle on several occasions has just suddenlt decelerated to 45mph regardless of the speed that was set. This has occured with no vehicles infront or to the sides on straight roads.”
