Complaints are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and are not normalized for sales volume. One complaint can cite several components.
“I have had this car in three times for electrical issues related to the Hybred battery. This car had a recall for the battery and I took it in on [XXX] for the recall. The fix for this recall was not to fix the battery but rather to limit the amount the battery can be charged to 80-85%%. Prior to [XXX] the hybred battery would charge upto 27 miles or 11.4 to 11.6 kwh. After the recall fix, again which was just a software update to limit the charge, it is now at 20-21 miles or 9.8 to 10.0 kwh charge. This has reduced the miles of driving on battery only to a 15% plus decrease. I bought this car for the hybred performance and would not have bought for only 20 miles of battery life. I have contacted the dealership that performed the recall update and they confirmed the software update was to reduce charge capacity. The dealership stated that the recalls performed were 25SC4 and 23B64. I called Lincoln and spoke with their Client Relations Dept. (800-521-4140) and they stated they would share my concerns but there was nothing more they could do. The person I spoke with gave me case # [XXX] and phone number 888-214-2155 extension. 76341. I feel Lincoln deceived me…”
“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.”
“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.”
Towing, payload and dimensions aren’t in the EPA or NHTSA data, so we don’t list them.
