3 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/22/2024

The back up camera does not work. I don't know the exact date when it began not working, but it's been many months. This may be due to a faulty electrical or computer system. Occasionally, an error message will appear on screen which states the obvious -- that the camera is not working -- and to contact the dealer. I received a recall notice in the mail on may 9, 2025, but the repair parts are still not available (August 22, 2025), which is 15 weeks after I received the recall notice. This is an excessive amount of time to wait. Since so much time has passed, it seems quite possible that the manufacturer does not intend to ever repair this defect as it is an older vehicle. This is worthy of investigation. At the very least, a status update should be given to owners.

6 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 04/03/2023

Rear camera operates irregularly. Sometimes camera works and sometimes it doesn’t. When shifting into r, we never know if rear camera will work or not. This is a very unsafe condition as it limits our ability to view images behind us when backing up. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Camera has not been inspected by a service center due to cost of repair or replacement.

When the car sit in the sun or in direct heat too long, the back-up camera will not work and on the navigation screen, it will say camera not working, contact dealership. When I pull in my garage and or the temperature of the car cool down, then the camera starts back working. It only do this in the summer time. It's going on a several years of doing this. The most day that this happened was on 5/20/19. I took it to the dealership back in 2017 and they wanted me to show proof that day but it didn't happen that day. Dealership have record of me reporting this.

Failure Date: 10/09/2017

My Mkc was one of the first manufactured. It came with michelin tires. At 33,000 miles I had to replace a tire due to a nail in the sidewall- it took the dealer 3 weeks to find one. Today I was just told two more tires need to be replaced on the car but they are not available!1 unbelievable! I have a 2015 car that can't be driven because they used michelin tires that can't be bought! Lincoln shoul dbe made to pay for upgraded tires for all 4 wheels now please- I can't wait for weeks to get a tire!.

14 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/05/2015

I live in the midwest and it was cold outside and I was driving home with my brand new state of the art Lincoln. When I was heading home my car indicated low battery, which I assumed would charge as I continued to drive. Next thing I know, everything was turning off (all internal displays, headlights, wipers, steering) due to conserving battery while I was on a major interstate in a blizzard. I thought I was going to die, on the interstate in a blizzard at 60 mph. I finally got over to the side of the road and it went into park. The dealer called and stated it was a bad alternator. Great, my issue is the battery voltage is so low that the combination with temp and alternator everything shut off in such a quick mode it gave me no time to safely exit off the road. The car is not designed to support this situation and I have the cold climate package, this is why we are paying a high price for engineers to do their job and understand how the systems act together. How is the government and manufacture allowing this situation to happen. My life and being a mother to three kids is more important than a small cost reduction.

This complaint actually encompasses 3 of my Ford/Lincoln vehicles. I cared for the other 2 on my own. Every lug nut needs to be repaired before I can replace my questionable safe tires! this is a manufacturer defect! 3 vehicle needing every lug nut replaced is a joke!! the 'word' is that they are swollen!!! absolutely nothing that I am responsible for. Please investigate. This is a scam and enormous injustice. I think I replace 1 lug nut in my prior 40 years of driving and was because it was broken!!!!.
