?my Lincoln nautilus (~9,180 miles) logged 6 "powertrain malfunction / reduced power" alerts in the [xxx] telematics system between xxx (xxx at 7:59 pm and 8:16 pm; xxx at 1:07 pm and 1:39 pm; xxx at 11:16 pm; and xxx at 10:56 am). Out of the 6 logged events, I experienced severe loss of motive power during two of them. On xxx, while driving 70 mph on I-95, the vehicle completely lost all propulsion. Coasting without power, I was unable to pull fully onto the shoulder, leaving the car partially stuck in active traffic and narrowly escaping a high-speed collision. Once stopped, the vehicle failed to recognize that it was in park, causing the electronic parking brake to lock without releasing, which severely delayed towing recovery. The vehicle was towed to a Lincoln dealership in [xxx], whose service department was closed. Upon arrival, the vehicle suffered a complete electrical blackout; the key fob would not unlock the doors, requiring physical key entry. A sales representative provided a jump box, allowing me to start the car, drive back to [xxx], and deliver it to cavalier Lincoln Ford in [xxx] between 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm on xxx. Cavalier Lincoln Ford stated they could not reproduce the malfunction. The vehicle and its electronic records remain available for inspection upon request. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
