Body 2

In addition to the recall for the C-pillar appliques and window division bars (NHTSA ID Number: 25V407000), the chrome trim piece directly below the window also suffers from insufficient adhesive bonding. See the photo below. It came lose while driving at high speeds.

Body 2

Problem: 2024 Lincoln Aviator has electronic door release switches on all four doors (both front and rear). If an emergency occurs and: •The driver’s door is blocked or jammed •Electrical systems fail (e.g., due to a crash, battery failure, fire, or water submersion) Then all four doors can simultaneously become inoperable, trapping all passengers besides the driver inside, as there is NO mechanical backup to manually release the front passenger door or both rear doors. This puts all the 2nd and 3rd row occupants and the front seat passenger in grave danger is access to the driver door is blocked or limited for any reason. ONLY THE DRIVER’s door has an emergency manual release latch. There is NO MANUAL RELEASE ON PASSENGER SIDE or for rear doors in this 3 row SUV. ⸻ ️ Why This Is Dangerous: •Passengers, especially in the rear seats, may be unable to exit the vehicle. •First responders may not be able to open the doors quickly. •This could lead to injury or death in fire, submersion, or crash scenarios.

The headlight control switch emits high pitch noise.When you toggle the switch To go between the different Segments of the headlight switch. I've brought it to the dealer and the tech was able to determine where the noise Was coming from. I had advised them.I had disconnected the battery prior and made the noise go away.So that's what they did and now they say it's a non issue cause the noise went away. I have a video demonstrating the issue with the switch.I'm afraid of an issue of fire. It's been. To the dealership twice now, for this issue and it still has not been resolved.I've spoke to corporate Lincoln in regards to the issue.And it's supposed to be escalated.But i'm getting ghosted by everyone at this time. This issue started in the first week of my ownership.It was worse than that point in time.It was so bad.I was unable to drive the car because it was giving me such severe migraine headaches because of the pitch of the noise. The noise when present is very distracting when you are trying to operate the vehicle safely.

I took my new car through the car wash I notice water go in the car some how and I could hear this gargling I thought it was coming from the A pilar. I also notice this when it rainned would do the same thing. I took it in to the dealership and they told that it was the drain lines from the moon roof. two week later it rained again and took my car and could hear that same noise that water was in the car. I have called the dealership again to get back in so see what is causing this

The vehicle was already in for service once for this issue and is going back a second time the rear camera when backing up randomly starts to flicker and go crazy, and sometimes blanking out. The first fix replaced the camera to no avail. It seems to happen randomly, but about 50% of the time. I have video of the rear backup camera going crazy.
