2024 Lincoln Nautilus problems

“I am reporting a serious safety concern involving my 2024 Lincoln Nautilus. While driving on a public road, the passenger-side door unexpectedly opened while the vehicle was in motion. This created a dangerous situation for me, my passengers, and other motorists. I am concerned that this may be related to an electrical, electronic, or door-latching system defect. I am requesting that this incident be documented and investigated as a potential vehicle safety defect. I do not believe this vehicle is safe to operate until the cause has been identified and properly repaired. I am also contacting Lincoln and the dealership to request a complete inspection and written documentation of the incident.”

“I was pulling up to a stoplight at Belmont & Abrams in East Dallas when my Pre-Collision Brake went off. I was not about to collide with another car, we were both slowing down. The force of the braking system caused me to re-tear 2 rotator cuff muscles I had had repaired 6 weeks earlier. I had de-activated the pre-collision brake multiple times because it's a hazard, but every time the car received an update it re-activated. I can't believe there isn't a class action lawsuit against Ford/Lincoln for this dangerous product.”

“The door jam and hatchback seals are letting dust and emission fumes inside the vehicle. When driving down a dirt road the seats are covered with dust. The dealership says that the seals are properly installed they said to the cabin fan on high to pressurize the vehicle which has not helped. When sitting stopped in traffic you can smell the exhaust fumes. This has been an ongoing issue since the date of purchase and the dealership has admitted that other Nautilus vehicles are doing the same. I wanted to add more door seals but was told that would void my warranty.”

“The contact owns a 2024 Lincoln Nautilus. The contact stated that after an OTA software update, the panoramic screen display and instrument cluster failed to operate as intended. The contact stated that the screen intermittently went black, rendering the reaview camera image, speedometer, or navigation screen inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer on several occasions, but the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The failure mileage was 40,000.”

“The contact owns a 2024 Lincoln Nautilus. While the vehicle was parked, the rear hatch unexpectedly opened and struck a building, causing the taillight to crack and leaving scratches and a crack on the bumper. Additionally, the contact stated that the gear shifter failed to shift to drive or reverse while attempting to drive into a driveway. The vehicle was turned off and restarted five times before it operated as intended. On another occasion, the Forward Collision Avoidance warning lights started flashing erroneously. The contact stated that shortly after purchasing the vehicle, the vehicle lost motive power, with an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle before the vehicle shut off. The radio occasionally activated, and the lights would turn on while the vehicle was turned off and unoccupied. The contact also stated that the front windshield and the rear glass had developed large cracks without impact, and that the panoramic sunroof often opened independently while driving at highway speeds. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer and was deemed to be in good operating condition. The dealer was notified of the failure; however, the vehicle was not repaired.…”

“The newer Lincoln Nautilus starting model year 2024 has an issue of moving seat positions while in motion. For the seat memory settings I am set to position 1 my wife is set to position 2 and there's at least a foot difference between us. If the Nautilus enters power save mode which seems to be quite frequent the radio system also seems to go into a deeper sleep mode too. That means when you go to power on the car the radio takes roughly an extra 2 minutes to fully boot. When it is completely booted it will decide to default to the position 1 setting even if you are driving and on the move on the road. So what has happened is from the garage my wife gets in the car, starts it, clicks the number 2 position, is driving down the road while the car is in motion the radio completes its boot up and moves to position 1 where my wife now struggles to reach the steering wheel and the pedals. And since the car is in motion she is unable to click position 2 again because the car prevents you from changing position while in motion.”
