   While driving on the highway my vehicle experienced a sudden severe loss of power that led you a metallic rattling noise under the front of the vehicle and smoke coming out the exhaust pipes. Took it to a Ford dealership for diagnosis and repair however, it recommendations were long engine block replacement due to coolant intrusion from a cylinder wall cracking due to a manufacturer defect that is a widely known and has a large class action lawsuit. Well, I’m being told I have to pay $11,000 out-of-pocket because my vin is not included in the active recalls of the vehicles of the same making and model as mine. The issues with my vehicle is not caused from wear and tear is a manufacturer defect and should be included to be repaired being that this vehicle is less than five years old under 100,000 miles and I’ve only had the vehicle since November 2024.

5. Filed Apr 19, 2026Failure Oct 16, 2025Fairport, NYElectrical system

   For most of 2025 and now into April 2026, I have been unable to use my car’s electric capabilities. This is due to active recalls for which no permanent repair is available. Temporary fixes have not resolved these issues. Thus, for an extended period of time, a primary feature of my car, a feature for which I purchased this vehicle, has been unavailable to me. I want to be clear: •The defect involves a major advertised and purchased function of the vehicle (plug-in hybrid operation); •The condition has persisted for a year; •Neither Lincoln nor the dealership have provided a reliable repair or accurate timeline for resolution; •Interim measures have failed to restore functionality.

    A 2021 Lincoln Corsair with AWD may have a faulty AWD module due to an incorrect transistor that prevents the system from switching between all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive. This can cause the vehicle to remain in one drive mode, potentially affecting handling and performance WARNING LIGHTS AWD FAULT, PRE COLLISION ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE, SERVICE ADVANCETRAC, AWD OFF

12. Filed Jun 13, 2025Failure Jun 9, 2025Independence, OHService brakes

    My 2021 Lincoln Corsair has 20,691 miles on it. At a dealer visit on June 9, 2025 for an oil change and routine maintenance I was told by the dealer that the rear brakes needed replacement. A friend of mine with a 2022 Corsair with 18000 miles on it has the same issue with rear brakes being worn out. This appears to be a common issue with late model Escapes, Corsairs, and Ford Edges. Rear brakes should never wear out in 20K miles unless the calipers are sticking which is what is happening. This appears to be a safety issue as the rear brakes could fail at any time with these low mileage vehicles.

    My backup camera still turns blue. I have had the recall done to fix the issue but it still happens occasionally. Seems to be just random when it happens and no direct cause when it does happen.

    2021 LINCOLN CORSAIR- Consumer states: " At the suggestion of James 0., I reported an important issue with Ford Motor Company in which a serious injury was inadvertently caused on December 2022, due to the use of two key fobs at the same time involving a 2021 Lincoln Corsair. Two key fobs were present when my husband was siting in the drivers seat with the engine running, and I firmly grabbed the handle of the back right door. With a key fob hooked on my belt bag, the door locked unexpectedly, and I fell back on cement, seriously injuring m) left hand, requiring surgery. According to more than one Lincoln dealer service manager, the presence of two keys confuses the computer and should not be used. There is no indication of this kind of problem in the user's manual. This situation has been reported to the OGC (Office of General Counsel), and we are waiting to hear from the Engineering department by next Tuesday, June 27th. We would like to speak with a supervisor further in this regard. In addition, we were referred to the Federal Trade Commission to report this issue. Any assistance would be great be greatly appreciated."

    The backup camera turns blue and makes it unusable. I took the car to fix this under a safety recall. However it is still not fixed. This has been going on for 6 months which is unacceptable. Both the dealer and Lincoln (Ford) says I will be contacted when a fix is available. As I said it has been over six months and they still say that are working on it. Unfortunately it will probably take a kid to get run over before something is done.
