   My son was getting into the front passenger door after school today and went he stepped up on the auto running boards it closed on his foot crushing his foot in between the vehicle and running board. The running board would not release. Multiple people in the carpool line saw my son screaming and crying in pain and had to run over to help me stand on and put pressure on the running board to create enough space for him to be able to barely pull his foot free. He suffered redness, swelling and bruising in most of his toes and toe joints. Plus trauma from the incident itself. His foot was trapped for over 1.5 min with 3 adults and 2 teenagers trying to help him free it. Unacceptable. This is incredibly dangerous and would have severely injured a smaller child using the running boards to enter the vehicle.

   When the car starts the head lights run through a series of motion checks, they go left, right down and then back up. We run into an issue every few weeks where the headlights stay in the down position. This happened with our car and a loaner we received from the dealership. I do have video of the issue. That shows the lights stuck down, when you restart the car the lights run the motion checks and come back up as they should. When the lights stay in the down position they only illuminate about 30' in front of the car.

   Upon starting, my 2023 Lincoln Navigator Reserve L has a significant delay when booting the back up camera and infotainment system and renders the vehicle safety systems unusable. Sometimes the back up camera freezes and locks the screen, sometimes it doesn't turn on at all. Often, the infotainment screen doesn't launch at all. I have multiple videos of evidence but this website won't allow me to submit them, only pictures.
