2024 Lincoln Nautilus Hybrid Problems

Lincoln Navigation has incorrect speed limit detection/programming on rural roads in Fulton County Ohio. When using the Adaptive Cruise, firstly the Speed Limit icon that is stationary on the dash, right in front of the driver, has incorrect speed limits. The speed limits icon also randomly goes from the incorrect speed of 45mpg, suddenly for no environmental reason, drops to 25 mph, then after a distance, goes back up to 45 mpg. The speed limits on all rural roads, other than municipalities, is 55 mph. While using the Adaptive Cruise, if someone is behind me, doing 55 mph that I've set my cruise to, and SUDDENLY I drop my speed to 25 or even 45 mph, there could most likely be a rear end collision. I have been in contact with Lincoln dealerships, Lincoln Concierge, Lincoln Way, Lincoln Over the Air... I just get passed around from department to department, having me reset my screens, but no knows how to fix. I've spent numerous hours on the phone. No one calls me back like they say they will. I've repeated this issue so many times to so many different people and departments, it's been extremely frustrating. If they could get me to someone that programs the navigation that Lincoln follows to re-programs those incorrect roads, all would be fixed. I believe Lincoln has it's own system because Google Maps and Waze are displaying the correct speeds at the exact locations.

There is a safety concern with this car involving the feature that automatically slows down the car when a curve in the road is detected. This problem with the curve detection feature happens when the dynamic cruise control is engaged, with or without BlueCruise being active. At certain locations on the freeway, the car will aburptly brake, slowing the car by approximately 10 mph. When the abrupt slowdown occurs, the driver's display shows the icon for curve detection when there is no curve in the road. An abrupt reduction of speed on the freeway for no valid reason is a safety problem. This is not a random occurence. It happens every time I drive on I-80 eastbound at location: 41.545369, -93.963420. There is no curve at this location in the road that necessitates any slowing of the car, let alone an abrupt reduction in speed. The dealership found no issues that they could correct and no software updates available.

Message the car sends "Remote features disabled to preserve battery" Your Nautilus has enter Deep Sleep to remedy the problem you much drive it. I drive my lincoln nautilus everyday and I get this message at least once a month. The car has completely died twice, no power, you can't even open the car doors nor trunk with key. You have to take the key apart and put it in a small hole on the door to open the car up. In March 2025 I was in NC for a funeral with my disabled Mom, we check out of the hotel, go to get in the car, completely dead, had to call a tow truck for a jump. August 2025, same thing the car completely died, had to call a tow truck to tow it to Ted Britt Lincoln Chantilly. The car came with a battery and has now had 3 replacement batteries. So a total of 4 batteries have been in this car. They keep saying we updated a module and replaced the battery. This car has a greater issue. I have been to the dealership Ted Britt Lincoln chantilly 7 times this year for this issue. I can’t depend on this car to not go into deep sleep and then not to start. I'm tired of constantly going to the dealership trying to get a loaner Lincoln to inspect the car. I've had to get 7 loaners this year from them. Every time I get a loaner I am stressed out because now I am responsible for the car. They have my insurance information always in case of accident or incident, it's stressful. The only warning comes from the Lincoln App informing you the car is going into deep sleep to preserve the battery. Ted Britt Lincoln Chantilly has now had my Lincoln nautilus for 10 days, and all they can say is what they have been stating every time. "We update a module and replaced the battery" when will they do something different because this updating modules and replacing battery routine is getting old.

The back-up camera is often very laggy, with slightly delayed video. Sometimes it also does not work and there is no video displayed on the main dashboard while reversing.

Seat has easy exit/entry memory function. As soon as the door is unlocked the driver's seat moves forward and the steering wheel moves down to the drive position. Then it is difficult for the driver to get in. An elderly driver with poor balance could fall and get injured trying to get in.

There is a safety issue involving inaccurate detection of the driver's hands on the steering wheel. The vehicle frequently provides a warning on the driver's information display that I need to place my hands on the steering wheel despite both hands being firmly on the steering wheel already. Sometimes, I can get the car to recognize that my hands are on the steering wheel by firmly squeezing the wheel in the same or a different position. If the dynamic cruise control is engaged at the time, and I cannot get the car to recognize my hands are on the wheel, the car will eventually disengage the dynamic cruise control, slow the car, and demand that I take manual control, which involves tapping the brakes. This slowing down of the car and tapping the brakes must occur on the open road while driving which is a hazard if vehicle are following too closely behind me.

We haven’t had the car for a full year yet and already have now had our 3rd front windshield cracked! It’s either the glass is too fragile or the shape of it. I’ve never had this happen with any car ever! I’ve also read online several other car owners complaining of the same issue.
