For the last three months, after the car sits for 12 hours or more, I get a "battery saver mode" on my phone and many of the online features won't work. Dealer measured the battery power on first visit - read 93 percent. Went to dealer a month later, battery read 59 percent. Dealer advised me to "drive the car more"! It takes 45 minutes to get to the dealer from our house, shouldn't have to drive longer than that. Something is draining the battery!

Impact with deer on I-79 in WV at 70mph Air bags did not deploy. I was not injured but had it been a vehicle I would have been. Not inspected or confirmed by anyone. No messages or warning before collision.

We took delivery of the vehicle in March 2025. The vehicle has never been involved in any accident or collision during our possession. • In April 2026, we discovered that the passenger-side rear brake light was no longer functioning. • Upon inspection, dealership personnel informed me that a small crack—approximately one inch in length—in the plastic housing of the driver-side rear turn signal allegedly allowed moisture intrusion that ultimately caused the passenger-side brake light failure. • I was further advised that the repair would not be covered under warranty and was presented with an estimate totaling $1,377.54 (copy enclosed). • The dealership speculated that the crack may have resulted from a minor parking-lot incident. However, no evidence was provided to establish either the cause of the crack or when it occurred. My concern is not merely the cost of the repair, although the quoted amount appears disproportionate to the nature of the issue. More importantly, the explanation provided raises serious concerns regarding the integrity and durability of the rear lighting assembly itself.

Since late 2024, we have received notification via the Lincoln mobile app that "certain vehicle features have been disabled to conserve battery life". Those made known via that notice were lack of ability to remotely lock/unlock the vehicle and also lack of ability to remote start the vehicle. Lincoln has read on several occasions the battery charge ranging from 50% to 62% while sharing that the battery charge should be at 80%...recommending via the app and verbally via phone communication, to drive the vehicle for 30 miles (10 on the highway) to charge the vehicle to the 80% threshold (like what?). The vehicle was taken a Lincoln dealer who was asked to diagnose the low charge on the battery and we were told the battery was fine. On 1/28/25 we received notice that we were given a software update (10.1.1) that was meant to enhance connectivity and conserve battery health, validating that Lincoln knows they have a problem. Since that update, the "Lincoln Welcome" feature aka "Lincoln Embrace" was disabled when the battery charge % as read by Lincoln was at 57%. This feature is both SAFETY and SECURITY related and a contributing factor as to why we selected Lincoln. The feature is meant to recognize our approach to the vehicle via the key fob and illuminate the inside and outside of the vehicle to allow us to see if any form of predator is inside the vehicle our outside around the perimeter. As senior citizens that live in one of the highest crime rate cities in the country, this feature is critical to us and we have chosen not to drive the car at night until this is addressed.

The contact owned a 2024 Lincoln Corsair. The contact stated that while driving 35-40 MPH, the contact noticed that another vehicle driving approximately 60 MPH crashed into the vehicle directly behind the contact's vehicle, and then crashed into the contact's vehicle. The contact's face hit the steering wheel. The contact stated that the seat belt restraint system only engaged after the contact's face had already hit the steering wheel. The seat belt then became significantly tight, causing the contact to experience difficulty breathing. The air bags did not deploy. The contact might have been knocked unconscious. The contact felt that her jaw had moved, and the contact's mouth was bleeding. The contact was assisted out of the seat belt and the vehicle, and the contact was taken to the hospital trauma unit by EMT. A CT scan was performed. The contact was informed that the right jaw was fractured and displaced from the nose to the end of the jaw. The contact was also informed that she had sustained a cardiac contusion as the heart muscle was damaged. The rear of the vehicle was significantly damaged. The contact could not recall whether there were warning lights illuminated after the crash. The vehicle was towed and totaled by the insurance company. A police report was filed; however, the contact stated that the police report inaccurately stated that the air bags in all three vehicles had deployed. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 8,000.

I have noticed that when the battery is lower than 85% available power sensor effectiveness is greatly reduced. This is noticed with vehicle going into remote battery saver mode and the Auto Start/Stop function ceases to function. This also greatly reduces front collision, rear cross traffic and pedestrian rear cross traffic warning especially. This is apparently due to a battery drain if any USB items are left plugged in. But after six month review on my second battery it is more apparent that the Corsair has an electrical parasitic drainage problem that adds to the problem. The fix by company is to drive the vehicle every day, which is not a practical option. I have used high end battery tester to prove my point and willing to spare it. The testing was conducted with all USB electrical ports disconnected and random battery testing conducted. I have included a log and will send photos of the battery tests if requested.

The contact owns a 2024 Lincoln Corsair. The contact stated that upon attempting to purchase the brand-new vehicle on September 1, 2025, the dealer informed the contact that the vehicle was on a Stop Sale because the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V315000 (Back Over Prevention). The contact was later contacted by the dealer and was advised that the recall repair was completed, and the vehicle could be purchased. The contact purchased the vehicle on [XXX], and picked up the vehicle three days later. The contact later received a recall notification from the Mobile App, a week after picking up the vehicle from the dealer. The dealer was contacted and confirmed that the recall repair had not been performed prior to the purchase and delivery of the vehicle. The dealer offered to pick up the vehicle to complete the recall repair; however, the contact declined. The vehicle was taken to Gordie Boucher Lincoln of West Allis (3161 S 108th St, West Allis, WI 53227); where the recall repair was performed. Upon reading the dealer's reviews online, the contact became aware that it was common for the dealer to provide false information to mislead consumers. The manufacturer was not yet notified of the issue. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Reference is made to Recall 24V954000 For PHEV Corsairs made through April 2024. Mine was built in June 2024, bought in Dec 2024, stopped being able to be charged via 240V power in July and will not be addressed by Ford and the dealer as it is not included in the recall. To date the OEM adapter for charging with 120 V and the charging cord have been demonstrated to be not at fault and my suspicion is that the battery needs to be replace. A simple software update and test would address the safety of the battery being charged even with 120V power. Please, revise or issue a recall to include all built after October 24, 2019

Since [XXX], I had my new car for five months and began receiving pre-collision assist not available and park aid malfunction. I have been receiving these since March. I took it into the dealer and they said that there would be a software update by May 1, 2025, this is the middle of June. I contacted them again around the first of June and the dealer told me the Software Updates would be available by the middle of June. This is a very dangerous situation because I do not have line assist and I don’t have any cruise. I feel like no one is listening to me since I still do not have the Software Updates and cannot use those functions on my new car. When this first occurred, my car threw on the brakes and sped up by itself. I need someone to listen. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

When I am backing out of my garage, the emergency brake activates. And my information screen is black, the volume goes up and down, and sometimes it does not connect to my cell phone.

The Corsair menu includes a Pre-Collision Assistance (PCA) option that controls Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) and a Distance Indication icon (DA) in the display. The AEB and DA have not functioned at all since we bought the car (08/10/2024). A dealer has had the Corsair 3 times for a total of 12 days and has not fixed the problem. In fact the dealer has stated: "Customer should not expect the car to stop". Neither the display nor touch screen have posted any messages or warnings. The last time for 9 days we had a loaner Corsair. Neither the AEB nor the DA functioned.

Since we purchased the vehicle new, the Sync Touch Screen can take several minutes to come on line and as a result all camera features are disabled and this is a safety issue. We have had frightening experiences when trying to back up in a parking lot of our own driveway with the camera's being displayed on the screen. This has been reported to Lincoln/Ford Motor company on at least (4) occurrences since April 8, 2024. In one discussion the Ford Field Service engineer to me that it gets hot in the south and computers run slow ????? I still am not certain if that was an attempt at a joke. It's not funny, it's dangerous
