My rear veiw camera only works when it wants to. It is either upside down and no use for backing up or black screen with no working message. I see other years are being recalled for that same reason.

Incident

Sep 22, 2023

While driving on Sept 22 2023 I hit a pothole and immediately felt a change in the pressure in the gas pedal, upon braking I noticed a loss of pressure in the brake system. Vehicle was slow to respond to applicsation of brake pedal to where I had to move my seaty forward so that I could depress the pedal to the floor ( im 4'10" and could not apply the brake to the degree needed to stop my vehicle from the seat position I usually drive in). When pressing the brake pedal it felt as if it wanted to engage the ABS system but was not doing so and I would have to press the pedal to the floor which then would bring me to a jolting stop. I don't know how to explain it but there was also a differnce in the feeling of pressure when pushing on the gas pedal so whatever happened affected pressure in both the fuel and brake syatem foot pedals. I have not had the vehicle inspected as of writing this, nor have I reported it to Police as I did not experience a collisionbeing that it happened a short distance from my house abnd the vehicle has not been driven since the issue began yesterday morning Sept 22 2023.

CAR WAS IN MOTION AT 65MPH ON A 4 LANE FREEWAY TRAVELING IN LANE 2 OR 3. IT MADE A LOUD THUD AND THE WRENCH ICON APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. AT THE SAME TIME, THE GAS PEDAL NO LONGER PROVIDED ACCELERATION AND THE ONLY THING I COULD DO WAS COAST TO A STOP, WHILE MANEUVERING THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. AFTER STOPPING I RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT FUNCTIONED PERFECTLY FINE. THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED. TWO MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE IN A FORWARD MOTION ON CITY STREETS...MADE A LOUD THUD, THE WRENCH ICON APPEARED. I WAS AT THE WEST SIDE OF A 4 LANE INTERSECTION AND BARELY HAD ENOUGH POWER TO COAST THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND PULL OVER ON THE EAST SIDE. AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF, IT STARTED UP FINE AGAIN. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT NOW

PURCHASED VEHICLE USED IN NOVEMBER 2015. NOTICED EVERY TIME I PUT GASOLINE IN THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT START ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. MONTHS LATER, CHECK IN LIGHT COME ON, TOOK VEHICLE TO A FORD DELERSHIP (IN 2016) AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. AS TIME WENT ON, THE ISSUE WITH REFUELING AND ENGIN LIGHT COUNTIED. IN 2017 WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, A WARNING LIGHT APPEARED (LOW OIL ENGIN PRESSURE) AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND REPLACED IT. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, ENGIN LIGHT APPEARED AND ONE MONTH LATER RECEIVED SAME LOW OIL PRESSURE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED, CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP.

DOORS FAIL TO LATCH, WITH SEVERAL REPORTS INDICATING THAT THE 'DOOR AJAR' WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH APPEARED AND CABIN LIGHTS STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING AND STAYS ON AFTER CLOSING DOORS! THE ONLY WAY TO TURN THEM OFF IS TO UNPLUG BATTERY! THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT I HAVE BEEN REPAIRING DIFFERENT DOORS LATCH AND I AM SURPRISED WHY CAR SAFETY RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED YET ON THESE MODELS. IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR AND IT'S A CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING NIGHT TIME WITH CABIN LIGHT ON AND AJAR WARNING SYSTEM IS OFF!!!! PLEASE NOTE THAT SAME ISSUE OCCURS EVERY YEAR WITH MORE THAN ONE DOOR (2014/2015/2016/2017)

THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS ISSUE WHEN USING THE CRUISE CONTROL AT ANY SPEED. WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON, AND THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING ON A DOWNHILL SLOPE, THERE IS A NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHILE IT IS TRYING TO MAINTAIN THE SPEED. THE SOUND IS SOMETHING LIKE A HUMMING/GRINDING/TICKING NOISE. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE TECHNICIANS GO FOR A DRIVE WITH ME TO TRY DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE AND THEY HAVE ALL SAID THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE. HOWEVER, TO DATE, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT AND THE LAST TECHNICIAN SAID IT MUST BE A NORMAL NOISE, EVEN THOUGH NO OTHER LINCOLN I HAVE TEST DROVE CAN RECREATE THE NOISE.
