The rear backup camera is not working when you put the vehicle in reverse. I was told it was an issue with the camera, they replaced the camera - which I paid for - and its still not working! Then they said its not the camera - again, I paid for a NEW camera, and they still have not been able to fix my vehicle. Today is Sept 22, they have had my car since Sept 1!!!! They've had it 3 weeks and have not been able to fix it! I did some research and found that the 2020 and 2021 Lincoln Aviators have this problem and have been recalled. Someone also needs to recall the Navigator cause its also having this problem! Here is the recall info for the Aviator: Vehicles recalled: 2020 and 2021 Lincoln Aviator The problem: The video feed from the backup camera might not display when the SUV is in Reverse. The fix: Dealerships will update the image processing module software, free of charge. How to contact the manufacturer: Owners may contact Ford at 800-392-3673. NHTSA campaign number: Not available yet. The Ford reference number for this recall is 21C09.

THE BACK-UP CAMERA SYSTEM IS INOPERABLE. WHEN VEHICLE IS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, THE SCREEN THAT IS SUPPOSED TO DISPLAY AN IMAGE FROM THE BACK-UP CAMERA OF THE AREA BEHIND THE VEHICLE IS BLACKED OUT. I WAS INFORMED BY MY LOCAL LINCOLN DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THE BACK-UP CAMERA IS DEFECTIVE AND THAT, UNFORTUNATELY, REPLACEMENT CAMERAS ARE ON AN INDEFINITE NATION-WIDE BACK ORDER WITH NO ETA IN SIGHT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD.

STARTED VEHICLE AND WENT TO ADJUST STEERING WHEEL I PUSHED THE DOWN BUTTON TO LOWER AND STEERING WHEEL DROPPED. STEERING WHEEL IS NO LONGER ABLE TO ADJUST UP OR DOWN ONLY FORWARD AND BACKWARD. WHEN PUSHING THE UP/DOWN BUTTON A GRINDING SOUND OCCURS. WHEN DRIVING STEERING WHEEL FEELS LOOSE AND WILL PULL TO THE RIGHT.

STARTING AT 20,000 MILES I STARTED ASKING THE DEALER TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION ON MY VEHICLE. VERY OFTEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD TO THE POINT YOU HEAR AND YOU FEEL LIKE SOMEONE HIT YOUR CAR ( USUALLY FROM 1ST TO 3RD GEAR ) AND ALSO WHEN YOU SHIFT IT TO REVERSE IT SLIPS. DEALER KEEPS SAYING THERES NO CODES COMING OUT ON THEIR COMPUTER. THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET.

THE CAR WAS BROUGHT IN FOR A ROUTINE SERVICE WHICH CONSISTED OF A OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION. AFTER REMOVAL OF TIRES IT WAS EVIDENT THAT THE REAL AXLES NUTS WERE ONLY HAND TIGHT AND NOT TORQUED AS THE NYLOK LOCKING INSERT DID NOT DEFORM ELASTICALLY OVER THE THREADS. I THINK IF THEY DONT HAVE A SIGNED OFF MANUFACTURING PLAN, TRAVELER OR OPERATION SHEET CLEARLY INDICATING THAT THIS IS AN ISOLATED CASE THEY SHOULD BE RECALLING 24 HOURS WORTH OF PRODUCTION BEFORE AND AFTER THIS VIN WENT THROUGH THIS ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE. IF THIS IS NOT ACCOMPLISHED HOW CAN THEY DETERMINE ROOT CAUSE AND CORRECTIVE ACTION TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT CONSUMERS LIVES ARE AT RISK ON A LARGE SCALE. THIS TRUCK HAS HAD MANY MORE PROBLEMS BUT THIS ONE CLEARLY DESERVES TO BE HIGHLIGHTED AND RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY!

BACK LIFTGATE OPENS RANDOMENLY. DEALER HAS REPLACED TWO PARTS INVOLVED AND HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY. SEEMS TO BE WHEN YOU SHUT ONE OF THE FRONT DOORS FIRMLY AND LOCK THE CAR W KEYFOB TWICE. I SUSPECT THE AIR PRESSURE FROM SHUTTING DOOR AND KEYFOB ACTION CAUSE THIS. BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS. CAR WAS STATIONARY EVERY TIME.

THE ALARM GOES OFF IF YOU LOCK THE VEHICLE WHEN YOU ARE IN IT WITH THE KEY. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE AND YOU LOCK THE DOOR. THIS CAUSES THE ALARM TO GO OFF, THUS DRAWING ATTENTION TO YOU IN THE VEHICLE.THIS LEAVES YOU IN A VERY VULNERABLE POSITION. YOU ARE IN A VERY EXPENSIVE VEHICLE WITH THE DOORS UNLOCKED AND/OR THE ALARM GOING OFF. I SPOKE TO FORD AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX IT.

I OWN A 2018 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR, 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE AC STOPPED WORKING. I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT LINCOLN HAD A DRIED OF VEHICLES WHICH HAD THE WRONG REFRIGERANT PUT IN FROM THE FACTORY. TODAY IS THE 22ND STRAIGHT DAY WITHOUT MY TRUCK BECAUSE THERE ARE SUPPOSEDLY NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX IT. $83,000 SUV!! I EVEN HAD TO HIRE A LAWYER TO SEND THEM A LETTER TRYING TO GET INFO ON WHEN I AM GETTING MY VEHICLE BACK. THEY WON'T WVEN ANSWER A LAWYER
