2020 Lincoln Nautilus problems

“Hennessey Lincoln in Atlanta repaired my car in June 2026. My Torque converter needed to be replaced. My car was there over 20 days. Two weeks after getting it back from shop it started jerking and smoking. It needed another torque converter replacement. Two weeks after getting this car back it did the same thing again.

I couldn't even get the car in the shop for repair because of lack of employees that work on transmissions and no loaner cars.”
