-the front bumper of the car is nearly coming off. This is attached by a "bra" covering the front bumper and if not on the whole front bumper would fall off. The tires/rims are also nearly run down and need to be replaced. -this is caused me great concern when transporting my children as a divorced father to and from the other party's premise. At every turn I believe the bumper may fall off or one of the tires. -unknown -unknown -this problem has been happening for at least a year, and I would like for the (front bumper) of the vehicle to be replaced along with four (tires/rims) at the earliest.
We own a 2016 Lincoln Mkz hybrid that is having issues with the backup camera randomly going blank, or significant delays at random times. Ford/Lincoln addressed the exact issue as a software recall in other models under recall 25s72, but failed to list our vehicle. This is becoming a big issue with safety not having the backup camera working with the way the rear window is placed, it is difficult to see certain areas behind you. Since this was already identified as a software issue by Lincoln/Ford, we would like to see them extend the recall include our vehicle. This randomly has been happening for the last month.
I have had this problem now for over a year, the backup camera on my 2016 Lincoln Mkz shows a panoramic view of the rear but things are reversed, left is on the right side and visa versa or the screen goes blank and a message states camera unavailable contact dealership. Sometimes it works okay but then goes into one of the two issues mentioned above. I talked with my dealership and they wanted to diagnose it, for a fee, or replace the camera which would be between $500 and $800 but I declined. You have had a few reports of this for the Mkz but just recently Ford issued a recall for this specific issue and symptoms for 2015 to 2019 mustangs, Lincoln navigators, Lincoln mkc, edge, fusion and others along with the entire f-series pickup trucks. The recall issued indicated a software issue and that any authorized dealership could replace the camera but when talking to my dealership today, irwin Lincoln/Mazda in freehold new jersey, they said since my car/VIN isn't currently under the current recall for this they would have to charge me a diagnostic fee and parts/labor to fix what they find. You need to include the 2015 to 2019 Mkz under this recall as I and others have had the exact symptoms indicated on the current recall for the backup camera.
Backup camera is showing opposite side. Left side is on yhe right and right side is on the left.
My back up camera fails the majority of the time. When in reverse it will say camera not available, or it will just go black. And every once in a while it will actually work. I have goiter used to using the camera to check for cars and children behind me. It is hard to see things behind me when I just look out the back window. Yes had a Ford dealer look over it and they told me it would be very expensive to have fixed and that they see this problem often on the Mkz. No warning. It just started working intermittently.
On 05/17/2018 the consumer stated problem with attempts were made to replace the airbags.
