Equipment problem #1

Rear backup camera is defective and not working. Initially it would work intermittently and but now for the last few months it does not work at all. I went to dealership and contacted Lincoln directly and they refused to repair the defective rear camera. Despite there being an open recall for the exact same problem for model years 2015 and up.

Equipment problem #2

Oem michelin primacy tires and warranty process are a big problem. Getting ready to file tread wear claim on second set after claiming tread wear warranty on first set through my dealer. Only lasted 30k and were to go > 50k. Now same model tires are now worn to replacement and dealer says I need to purchase elsewhere for another tread wear claim. Reason is they were never paid by michelin for first claim. Lincoln and michelin deserve this complaint for the inconvenience and now second defect on tread wear life. Service dept at dealer have been great and understand why they cannot work another claim.

Equipment problem #3

Above is first time noted. Car will go into gear on its own (when the green blinking, or accessory light is on car's engine is not on & no brake pedal pushed). This has happened with me out of car, other passengers in car, valet moving car for me),,,,,,this is "driving miss daisey" without a morgan freeman (chaufer). Car will roll on its own. Into dealer 3 times but not fixed. Dangerous car. Only happens when vehicle is in "park" or accessory mode (blinking green light" & no foot on brake and no attempt to start car. . . . Just using accessory (I. E. To roll down window). It happens without the solid green icon light on (or ready to drive) and wit no foot on brake pedal.
