EXTERIOR LIGHTING

The overhead lights randomly turn on, which is incredibly distracting, especially when driving at night. Additionally, the moonroof has just stopped working. Although this is more of an inconvenience, I am concerned that both of these combined represent an electrical issue with the overhead console module, which can result in many more hazards if left without repair. There are no dash lights signaling issues. I have reported the problem to the dealer where I purchased the car a couple of months ago (Tim Short Ford of Lafollette); my local dealership (Rusty Wallace Ford Lincoln of Morristown), which also reported that there were two other vehicles currently in the service department for the same issue; and to the Lincoln Concierge. I found many reports online of similar issues with this vehicle and with the confirmed two other vehicles with the same issue at my local dealership, this appears to be a widespread problem. However, after speaking with the Concierge, it is apparent that the company is not acknowledging the issue as no accommodation was offered despite the known similar failures in the same model line.

On December 23rd ,2024 I brought my 2020 Lincoln Corsair to Keller ford dealer ship in Hanford CA. The issue was the engine overheated without any warning lights. I requested they diagnose the problem and provide me with the diagnosis and cost. They informed me that there was coolant intrusion on cylinder number 1 and spark plug was seized they told me I would need a new valve head and the cost would be $3950.86. I Have now learned that there has been a chromic problem with the 2.0 engine. I'm enclosing a problem list detailing the significant issues that have affected the corsair engine. These problems are systemic to the corsair engine as documented by the complaints of the corsair users. I have notified Lincoln of the problem and was never informed that this was a known problem to Lincoln. When we purchase the corsair I expected Lincoln to stand by its product. I was under the belief that Lincoln was a forth right and honest automobile company. I'm now out of pocket this amount of money. I expect Lincoln to act in good faith and remedy this situation. Please contact me at my email [XXX] or [XXX] On may 26 2025 I had travel approximately 200 miles since the repairs from Keller Ford I travel to Los Angeles CA. Before I arrived at my destination the exact same problem reoccured. With out any warning light my car overheated and white smoke came out of the tail pipe. The net day I went to South Bay Ford. They inspected my vehicle and told me the EGR cooler has develop a coolant leak. They took pictures with showed that the repair at Keller Ford fail to properly diagnose the problem. Again this appear to be a chronic problem to the corsair as other users had made written complaints to NHTSA. This repair cost $961.44. As the results the total cost of the damage to my vehicle is in excess of $4912.30. I once again demand that one could stand by it product and set this matter straight.
