2020 LINCOLN CORSAIR Forward Collision Avoidance Problems

While driving, received AWD, Traction Control, Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision Alert/Malfunction lights on instrument panel and notification that none of them were working. Happened consistently after starting vehicle while driving a few minutes. Had vehicle taken in to dealership to discover a new AWD module was needed and not covered by warranty. After further research, determined that there was a recall for the same part on the same model of our vehicle one year later but did not include our year model.

While driving with cruise control set, an pre-collision assist not available warning showed on the dashboard. Cruise control automatically switched off and the immediately slowed even when pressing the gas pedal. The vehicle began to jerk as if the brakes were automatically activated. When able to safely pull over and stop the vehicle, it would not go into park nor would it turn off. The vehicle would only turn off and start when the emergency parking brake had been applied. After inspection at a certified dealership and maintenance shop, the vehicle was diagnosed with major transmission malfunction. The transmission fluid had been completely burned out and metal shavings were present. I asked how could this happen, especially when the necessary maintenance service checks and procedures were in order. The technician said he didn't know. I checked the manufacturer's recall listing and there is a recall on the transmission but that particular recall did not affect my particular VIN. Now the manufacturer refuses to discuss this issue with me, stating that due to proprietary reasons they could not offer me any further assistance or information. Total repair cost = $10,675.67 $4000.00 has been offered as part of the Ford goodwill program. Unfortunately all warranties have expired due to mileage, except the powertrain, which I was told did not include the transmission. 2020 Lincoln Corsair 139, 117 miles This is a first time event for my vehicle. My vehicle stalled in the middle of traffic on the highway. No injuries involved.

My vehicle stalled in the middle of traffic on the highway. No injuries involved.

I was involved in a front-end collision a ~7 ton commercial vehicle, their fault due to distracted driving while using a cell phone, in which the forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and air bags failed. My Corsair had to be towed since it did not run after the accident, the drivers door could not open, so had to crawl out the passenger side. The Corsair was taken to an autobody shop that day and within a week their preliminary visual estimate without tearing down was over half the value of the vehicle and has since been declared a total loss. I sustained injuries in the accident that will be treated for some time and can only speculate that had systems worked, there could have been a chance for less severe injuries or potentially avoided the collision altogether. The autobody shop and insurance has all commented they were surprised none of the safety features worked, but no root cause has been documented as to why. At the time of the accident, all recalls were considered up-to-date and the vehicle has been very well maintained to by a Ford dealer and to the specifications of the owners manual. There were no warning lamps.
