Expert Verdict

⚠️Elevated Concerns

The 2023 Lincoln Corsair presents a concerning reliability profile due to multiple recalls and complaints, primarily involving critical systems like the engine and fuel system. Notably, issues are prevalent early within the vehicle's life cycle, emphasizing the need for vigilance from both current owners and prospective buyers.

Key Factor:Multiple critical recalls

📋Why This Matters

The safety of any vehicle is paramount, especially for families with young children who often occupy the back seat. The recalls affecting the engine can lead to severe consequences such as fires due to oil and fuel vapor accumulation. Furthermore, issues with the fuel injection system may result in hazardous leaks, putting passengers at risk during everyday travels. The missing airbag warning label signifies a failure to comply with safety standards that are meant to protect occupants in crash situations—this is particularly alarming when children are involved.

* The rear differential failed/broke 12 hours into a 13 hour trip. There have been recalls for this issue for previous years but not for 2023 models (yet) * This happened on the interstate and we could have been seriously injured or killed with the sudden loss of function if this happened during the day. Fortunately, it happened at night with limited traffic on a Sunday. * The problem has been confirmed with a Lincoln dealer where the car was towed * Other than the service department at a dealership, the car has not been inspected by any other agency * No warnings of any kind prior to the problem.

Seems to be an electrical problem with the car. i have had it in for repairs 5xs now cant seem to fix it or cant find the problem. The entire ADAS system fails at different points. Sometimes i get warnings. One time entire car went black while driving on highway. Lincoln claims no faults were stored. Head lights light on their own while parked and locked or sometimes they don't work at all. Rear tailgate opened while driving. Ventilation system displays in Chinese. This has been going on for a little over a year now.

LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

Since leasing the vehicle in February 2024, I have experienced persistent failures in the collision prevention system and other critical safety features. Despite multiple service visits, the issue remains unresolved, with Lincoln attributing the problem to a system update that has been repeatedly delayed. Chronology of Issues and Service Attempts: 1.Two Weeks After Leasing (February 2024) oThe collision prevention system began failing. oAdditional issue: Passenger-side windshield wiper fluid failure. oVehicle was returned to the dealer for service. oVehicle was returned the next day with the same collision system issue unresolved. 2.Second Service Attempt (March 2024) oThe Windshield wiper fluid issue was resolved. oCollision prevention system issue persisted. oLincoln informed me that the issue would be resolved through an automatic system update by the end of 2024. (Attachment 1) 3.Third Service Attempt (November 2024) oVehicle returned to Schumacher for the same system faults. oDealer returned the car, stating that there was no system update available yet. oLincoln now projected the system update for Q1 2025. (Attachment 2) oSchumacher advised scheduling another service appointment after December. 4.Fourth Service Attempt (January 2025) oVehicle was delivered for the collision system fault. oReturned the same day, again stating the issue would be resolved in Q1 2025 via an automatic system update. 5.Escalation to Lincoln Customer Service (Late January 2025) oContacted Lincoln customer service to formally report the issue and request a resolution. oA week later, Lincoln informed me that the only solution was to wait for the system update. 6.Fifth Service Attempt & Request for Rental Car (February 2025) oMy wife and I visited Schumacher Lincoln, requested to leave the vehicle, and asked for a rental while awaiting repairs. oRequest for a rental vehicle was denied. oThe same day, we received an automatic system installation update (Attachment

The component that failed is a known issue with the backup camera blue screen. My vin# isn't part of the recall but should be. The safety factor is well known. The dealer has reproduced the issue replaced the camera and applied the temporary fix but it failed again. The temporary fix also caused the 360 feature to freeze in one spot. There were no symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.

They can't seem to fix the problem. My car has been in the dealership 45 days of the 60 days I have owned it.

Purchased car in early January 2024 and on February 18th the vehicle wouldn't start. Got the vehicle to start after jumping it and drove straight to the dealership to have it checked / repaired. The car has been in the dealership service bay ever since. I worked with dealership and then escalated the issue to Lincoln Concierge Group (corporate office). I am told it is an issue with the Audio Control Module (ACM) where the electronics continue to draw down on the battery even after the car is shut off. The Lincoln programmers have taken multiple attempts to fix the problem ... all unsuccessfully. The new car has been in the dealership for OVER a month now. They have provided a loaner in the meantime but that is little consolation for the time and concerns we have with the vehicle purchased. I have asked that they consider the vehicle a lemon and allow for acquisition of another Lincoln. These requests have been denied but may be considered in the future. Looking for assistance in resolving this issue.
