ODI #11745510

Incident: June 9, 2026 · Filed: June 21, 2026

While driving on the highway my vehicle experienced a sudden severe loss of power that led you a metallic rattling noise under the front of the vehicle and smoke coming out the exhaust pipes. Took it to a Ford dealership for diagnosis and repair however, it recommendations were long engine block replacement due to coolant intrusion from a cylinder wall cracking due to a manufacturer defect that is a widely known and has a large class action lawsuit. Well, I’m being told I have to pay $11,000 out-of-pocket because my vin is not included in the active recalls of the vehicles of the same making and model as mine. The issues with my vehicle is not caused from wear and tear is a manufacturer defect and should be included to be repaired being that this vehicle is less than five years old under 100,000 miles and I’ve only had the vehicle since November 2024.

Electrical System

ODI #11732248

Incident: October 16, 2025 · Filed: April 19, 2026

For most of 2025 and now into April 2026, I have been unable to use my car’s electric capabilities. This is due to active recalls for which no permanent repair is available. Temporary fixes have not resolved these issues. Thus, for an extended period of time, a primary feature of my car, a feature for which I purchased this vehicle, has been unavailable to me. I want to be clear: •The defect involves a major advertised and purchased function of the vehicle (plug-in hybrid operation); •The condition has persisted for a year; •Neither Lincoln nor the dealership have provided a reliable repair or accurate timeline for resolution; •Interim measures have failed to restore functionality.
