Wiper Problems of Lincoln MKT

Rear camera requires replacement approx. Every 3 years images start getting reversed or upside down, then very grainy and then the camera completely fails altogether. When the camera fails you get a warning stating " camera is unavailable please contact the dealership" I have put 2 cameras in the vehicle, both were motorcraft parts purchased at the dealership. When I purchased the vehicle the dealership that sold the car to me indicated they had replaced the camera in July of 2022 with an aftermarket unit that failed on me in November of 2022. These cameras frequently fail, it is widely reported across all Ford/Lincoln vehicles. Edge, explorer, flex, Mkt, mkx being the most widely spoken about.

The backup camera frequently stops working, which greatly reduces rearward visibility and compromises safety. Recalls have been issued for other Lincoln models for this same issue but not the 2014 Mkt.

I've purchased my 2013 Lincoln Mkt awd ecoboost on 1-5-2020. Two days after buying it, I had to replace the fuel pump. My check engine light came on stated po420 catalyst system efficiency below threshold bank 1. The second row's seatbelt won't come out properly. Can't have anyone sit at that seat. For some reason I am unable to use my windshield water nozzle (not sure what's it called). I've been getting a message stating power steering fault, I turn off the car then turn it back on and it goes away. Thank god the steering wheel fault never gave me issues while driving. As of last week, I haven't been able to drive my car b/c of the power steering fault. Not too happy with this vehicle. I've had it less then a year and already having so many problems with it.

All ability to control the hvac is lost while in motion. The vehicle allows me to select any function I ask of it on the center stack like ac, heat, feet vents, defrost with a confirming light and "boop" sound, however only hot air blows out the defroster vent and it cannot be turned off without turning the whole vehicle off. In cooler weather, especially when raining, the windows fog up and visibility is lost. Other systems affected are the lock/unlock buttons inside the car. When the vehicle is put into park and the unlock button is pressed, a soft click can be heard, however the car stays locked. The only way to unlock the doors is to use the keyfob. In an emergency situation, it would be difficult to exit the vehicle. Also, once the doors are unlocked and the vehicle is driven to a certain speed, the locks do not auto-lock again. When the vehicle is turned off, it does not recognize the key and the vehicle won't start, but the key-fob still works for unlocking and locking the vehicle. The tailgate button on the outside of the vehicle and on the key-fob will not work, however, the tailgate button inside of the vehicle does work. The vehicle will not go into an auxillary mode. If the vehicle is not turned off and continues to be driven, the car will "come to" after 30 plus minutes and work normally again. If the vehicle is turned off, it won't restart from anywhere of 1-30 minutes. When it restarts, everything is normal again. Dealer shows no error codes and doesn't yet know how to fix it. My best guess is that there is a computer issue, as some parts of the vehicle are fine, but others stop working. Issue started in June 2018, has yet to be fixed by Lincoln. Usually happens 2-4 times a month. Latest it happened was 10-15-2019. Many videos of issue.

Rear window spontaneously shattered. Daylight hours, approximately 70 degrees fahrenheit, dry weather conditions, parked in shaded area. Driver walked to vehicle, sat in driver seat, closed driver-side door, and started vehicle uneventfully. Less than one minute later the rear window spontaneously shattered. Driver cut left hand on broken glass when attempting to retrieve personal belongings in the rear compartment.
