For these last several months, near or around December of 2025 my 2016 Lincoln Mkx has been shorting out or having glitches in the center cabin. The cross traffic system and blindspot sytem fault have turned on and off simultaneously creating a short in the cabin resulting in the ac or heat turning off and on. This also creates a short where the the windows will not roll down, the glove box will not open or the trunk, the doors cant open from the outside. And most serious, my key fob will not open the vehicle. The Lincoln dealership is aware of the problem but has refused to address the problem because they claim they cannot replicate the issue. The dealership has witnessed the problem, yet their tech is never available. The dealership is aware of the issue, and has seen videos of the problem but refuses to address. Originally car max referred the car to Lincoln because carmax claimed they do not have the technology to address the Lincoln's issues. Lincoln claims they cannot replicate and that I should wait for the car to break down.
My backup camera will become green and distorted when backing up. This is intermittent and not constant. When this happens I can’t see what is coming.
