1 Blind Spot Detection problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2025

This requires a recall ASAP. Dealers are well aware of this problem as is Lincoln chq but Lincoln refuses to address it. Rear camera cannot differentiate between steady rain & an object which then causes car to engage the collision avoidance system which then prevents ability to drive in reverse gear. There have been many rearview camera recalls on this car & each has made things worse. The only way I can drive car in reverse (in rain) is to turn off collision avoidance system (insane). Having to turn off this safety feature when it’s needed the most (in rain) is very dangerous. I tapped a person backing out of a parking spot. He was walking in blind spot, couldn’t see him on rearview camera, parking sensor alerts failed, collision avoidance was off because I can’t drive in reverse in rain. Thank god he wasn’t injured. Begging NHTSA to force a recall before a human gets run over.

2 Blind Spot Detection problem

Failure Date: 05/22/2023

The display on our 2022 Lincoln Aviator failed, again. It had been repaired by the dealer with a new rear camera. It failed to show the backup view, again, and also that display shows the controls for defrost and other safety features. It was a rainy day, so, we were without a display screen showing the backup camera and could not turn on our defroster as it is located on that dark screen, also. Our windows fogged due to no defroster, and, we had no back up camera view to show traffic behind us. We called the dealer and, they said wait for a recall, as one on the software is in the making right now. There was no warning that this would happen. After driving the vehicle and parking and restarting it, the display lit up again.
