What owners report
While loading my vehicle during a trip, when I turned around to pick up a bag and turned back to put it in the back of the vehicle, the entire liftgate had lowered halfway and I hit my head forcefully on it from a crouched position. I have a pretty serious concussion from this. I was not aware that this malfunction existed in this vehicle. It is very dangerous and almost knocked me out! This happened on a Saturday and I cannot afford to go to the ER, so I will go to my Dr. on Monday (tomorrow) morning. (unless my roommate sees my condition worsening) I am resting but my head hurts and I am very nauseated and tired. Blurry vision.

It developed an engine problem while driving on at least two occasions and is no longer reliable or safe to operate. No prior warning messages were observed on the vehicle. Fortunately, I was able to pull over on the side of the road and I observed smoke coming from the engine. I was then concerned about the safety of an unexpected engine failure while driving, which might cause the vehicle to stop in traffic. I have now observed green/milky contamination on the engine oil dipstick. The vehicle requires further diagnostic evaluation and engine replacement by

I own a Lincoln Mkc 2017 - purchased on 2/19/19 with 12miles I have replaced 4 batteries over the years so far. I drive every day. I am never sure if the car will start. Multiple times i have a dead battery. Lincoln has a problem with this module and the electrical system. parasitic drainage issues on the battery. I don't feel safe, because there is an "unknown" draining the battery, therefore I am scared to drive the car and don't want to keep getting stranded. They have discontinued this make and model, but I am seeing the same complaints with the Corsair. My car only has 53k miles, it is in excellent condition. But unfortunately, i cannot rely on this car. I don't know what to do.
