2022 Lincoln Corsair PHEV Engine Problems

Our 2022 Corsair Hybrid has been at Haldeman Ford in Kutztown, PA since October 29th. We will not drive it to our house because it is unsafe at any speed. The engine in this car has suddenly failed at least seven or eight times while being driven. At least three of these failures occurred when being driven by different Haldeman Ford technicians. They saw nothing that would explain the engine’s sudden catastrophic failure. The technicians cannot find out what is wrong with the vehicle and agree that the vehicle is dangerous to drive. Prior recall for engine failure stated that the car was not to be driven but also not to be plugged in because there was risk of fire. That recall is proof that the car was a lemon from the day it left the factory. It has been gently driven and has less than 16,000 miles. If the Corsair were to be said to be “repaired” at this point it would then require us to then act as crash test dummies with no guarantee that the engine would not stop suddenly - resulting in catastrophic injury or death. I could not ethically sell this car going forward. NOTE: On November 20, 2025 the NHTSA issued Manufacturer Recall Number 25SC4 - NHTSA Recall Number 25V789. This recall is for a manufacturing defect in the high voltage battery cells to cause an internal short circuit. This recall cites lost of motive power with increased risks in both crash and fire issues. This car has had several recalls in the past as well also dealing with fire and safety problems from the factory.
