Battery overheats, car stalls and stops multiple times in the middle of the freeway, and twice driving regular side street . Hybrid battery was changed last month under warranty. Car has over 16k miles . Towed 3x to dealership at Lincoln repair shop in henderson nv. Per Lincoln mechanic, this is a flaw on this car and that the Lincoln engineers are not able to offer a fix or a solution as the overheating is being blamed to las vegas summer temp over 110 degrees. The car is still under warranty. Lincoln offered an extended 4 year warranty. Lincoln does not want to bring the car back to the repair shop after the last incident July 31, 2017. I was advised that there is no fix and there is nothing the Lincoln engineers can offer , an dthat the battery will die and stall from high vegas heat.
Some times the rear back-up camera dash board display will turn off while maneuvering in reverse. Sometimes it will turn off to answer the phone, while the car is moving in reverse. And other times it will flicker then return to the home page. The dealer says its working normally and they can't duplicate the problem. However its happened at least a half dozen times since I've owned the car, in the past 2 yrs. The problem seems to happen when the car is moving in reverse usually when backing out of a parking space with parked cars on either side of me. The car has a sony information center and back-up camera and cross traffic alert and speed sensing radar. Other then that the car drives impeccably.
