2020 LINCOLN CORSAIR Electrical System Problems

I [XXX] and I am the owner of a 2020 Lincoln Corsair (VIN: [XXX] ). The vehicle is under a recall for the backup camera and wiring harness that affects the visibility of the rear-view image. When I contacted my local Lincoln dealership, they informed me that the recall parts are unavailable and that the earliest possible repair appointment is not until March 2026. I purchased the vehicle in October 2025 and am currently financing it for approximately $35,000. I am very concerned about continuing to drive a vehicle with a known safety-related issue for more than a year while waiting for parts that should already be available to consumers. This delay creates both safety and financial hardship for owners, and there does not appear to be an alternative remedy or temporary solution being offered by Lincoln. My camara is already glitching and experiencing some malfunction. So I am requesting that NHTSA review this recall and take steps to ensure that the manufacturer provides an appropriate and timely resolution or interim remedy for affected vehicles. Thank you for your attention to this matter. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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.

The computer system in the car completely shut down on the middle of driving.

Please know we attempted to have our 2020 Lincoln Corsair inspected at an authorized Texas inspection Station and the Computer System would not allow an interface so we could not get the vehicle inspected . We then had to go to a Lincoln Dealer and they also had trouble with the computer system and were finally able to inspect the vehicle somehow, but not sure how they were able to finally inspect the vehicle. When we took our vehicle in to the Lincoln Dealer in September 2023 for the Temporary Fix for the Recall Notice 23S23 Blue or Black Image on the SYNC screen, again, the Dealer was not able to accomplish this because of the vehicle Computer System not being able to interface. We do believe we have a Computer System or Computer Software issue with our Lincoln Corsair.

Electrical system totally shuts down and car is dead.This happened 4 times.The battery is not dead but the electrical system shuts it down.You have to jump or separate battery to re activate system.Last incident not even emergency key worked to open the car.Danger is if someone is in the car and you cannot get them out.The car was so dead I had to call road service.They towed to dealer.Last time we took to the dealer they said no problem with the car.This time we had to tow and the Lincoln assist driver could not opeit.Definite safety issue if child or animal got locked in by accident someone outside cannot get in even with key ,for the key does not work.Nothing will open this car.A huge danger.

Issue with damage done to wiring by rats, because of soy based wire covering. Vehicle will intermittently not start, all dash board lights flash, or engine will turn off. The service advisor knew this as well as salesperson. This is an issue as if driving car could power off and cause an accident. This has happened on various dates. I have requested the wiring to be fixed at dealers cost, no reply yet

ACCORDING TO THE WARNING (SEE ATTACHED PIC) IT REQUIRES TO MANUALLY TURN ON THE CAR TO DEACTIVATE THIS MODE.
