The contact owns a 2019 Lincoln Nautilus. The contact stated that while driving at slow speeds, the power steering assist failed to operate as needed. There was an audible chime with the power steering message flashing on the instrument panel before the steering wheel seized for several seconds. Despite the failure, the vehicle resumed normal operation soon after the temporary failure. Upon investigation, the contact discovered that a low battery voltage might have caused the power steering failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the battery was tested. The dealer determined that there was no fault found with the battery. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 84,000.

There was one alert soon after I left Gallup NM, the engine heat light went off very briefly then went off (mile marker 6). The close to Miler marker 340 in AZ the card complete shut down and I had no control over the car. I had to pull over. I was in the middle of no where with no cell service. I was eventually able to reach my father Via Whatsapp/ I tried multiple times to call my husband but had no service. I added water to the radiator and sat the car for several minutes. The outside temperature was 41. I was not near anything. I was able to start the car and drive very slow without the engine light alerting me. I pulled over at the next exit that had a gas station and purchased Antifreeze and water. I called my father again and did a video call to make sure I was doing it correctly. I then drove only 40 miles when the engine light alerted and added more coolant. I drove slowly and once in Flagstaff checked my oil. I was in constant contact with my father and husband. I stopped 8x to fill the vehicle's radiator. I arrived home very late and exhausted. On March 2 I contacted my mechanic but could not get the vehicle into him for inspection until March 9. On March 10, I was notified that there had been recalls and the head gasgette for my car but I do not see any recalls in the system at this time. My mechanic reported the engine was done and he would purchase a used enghine to start a rebuild. He was later alerted to the turbo charge having damage and it needed to be replaced as well. The transmission fluid was black. There are concerns that this car has higher milage on the vehicle due to rust, dark trans fuild and the overall appearance of the engine once it was removed. I proceeded to pay for a Car Fax report. This vehicle has only 53,900 miles and too low for this much damage and concerns. The car was purchased in Nevada and undetermined if known concerns were apparent. It is quite concerning being stranded in the middle of no where and your car stopping.

Component: Engine Vehicle: 2019 Lincoln Nautilus – 2.0L EcoBoost Mileage at failure: ~76550 Incident date: August 2025 Narrative (paste this): My 2019 Lincoln Nautilus equipped with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine experienced a sudden low-coolant warning followed by rapid overheating and complete engine shutdown in August 2025 at approximately 70,000 miles. After adding coolant, the warning immediately returned and the vehicle entered reduced-power mode and became inoperable within about 20 miles, requiring towing. An independent repair facility performed diagnostic testing confirming coolant intrusion into the engine cylinders, internal engine failure, and coolant pooling in the cylinder head area. Diagnostic trouble codes included P0217, P0316, and P0128. The engine and turbocharger required full replacement at a cost exceeding $6,900 paid out of pocket. This failure matches Ford Technical Service Bulletins TSB 19-2172 and TSB 19-2346, which acknowledge coolant intrusion in 2.0L EcoBoost engines requiring long-block replacement. The failure created a serious safety hazard because the vehicle overheated and shut down during travel in extreme Arizona summer heat, leaving occupants stranded for hours awaiting a tow truck. This appears to be part of a widespread known defect involving coolant intrusion in Ford 2.0L EcoBoost engines. I am reporting this for safety investigation and defect tracking.

Component: Power Train / Transmission Vehicle: 2019 Lincoln Nautilus – 8F35 transmission Mileage first noticed: At Test drive and purchase (~61,405 miles) Status: Ongoing defect My 2019 Lincoln Nautilus has exhibited persistent hesitation, jerking, and harsh engagement during acceleration from a stopped position since the time of purchase at approximately 61,000 miles. The condition occurs repeatedly during normal driving and was reported to a Lincoln dealership service department, which stated the concern could not be duplicated and later described the behavior as “normal for that model.” The drivability problem has never been repaired and continues to occur. Ford has issued multiple Technical Service Bulletins relating to harsh shifting, shudder, and drivability concerns in vehicles equipped with the 8F35 transmission, indicating manufacturer awareness of the condition. The hesitation and jerking create a potential safety concern when entering traffic or accelerating from intersections because vehicle response is delayed and unpredictable. I am submitting this complaint to document an ongoing transmission defect affecting safe vehicle operation.

While driving, the entire dashboard and instrument cluster intermittently go completely blank, disabling visibility of speed, gear position, warning lights, turn signals, and other critical information. The failure occurs suddenly and without warning. The cluster then goes through multiple reboot cycles, sometimes several times in a row. In many cases, normal operation does not return until the vehicle is fully shut off and restarted. This creates a serious safety risk, especially at highway speeds or at night. The issue first occurred around 71,000 miles (Oct 2024) and has recurred multiple times. The most recent incident occurred on Oct 31, 2025 at approximately 84,200 miles. The vehicle has been to a Lincoln dealership in Raleigh, NC for four repair attempts (Dec 2024–Oct 2025). Multiple electrical modules have been replaced (battery, fuse junction box, trunk module, telematics module, keyless entry keypad), and Lincoln engineers were consulted, but the defect remains unresolved. No diagnostic trouble codes were stored during the most recent failure. The vehicle is currently covered under a Lincoln ESP PremiumCARE warranty through 2030, and the defect remains intermittent and unresolved.

Adaptive Steering Fault Service Required - This warning came on while I was driving down the road. The steering wheel automatically went from a center position to the left like I was making a left turn. The vehicle continued going straight with the steering wheel in the left position. Needless to say, It was very alarming when this happened. I drove home and made an appointent for service. The next day the fault code was off and steering was normal but I still brought it to my Lincoln dealership for service and they said a module in the steering column is faulty. In Fords/Lincoln design you cannot just replace the module, you need to replace the entire steering column at a price of $5000.00 (part 3600.00, labor 1400.00).

Transmission causes the car to jerk and shudder at speeds below 50 MPH. Lincoln dealer says it is the Torque Converter that is causing the issue. Issue could cause the car to stall or not start.

I know there is a bulletin out from Ford about the PCM , where it says recall on the bottom, yet unannounce. This mimics the issues with the torque converter, the ones that I have in my 2019 lincoln nautilus. About two months ago, I felt a kick. where It thought I had been hit by another car, it was so hard. From that point on, the smoothness of the transmission below 35 miles/hr, was jerky and hesitant, kicking and not accelerating properly. The dealer said that it was the torque converter and that it was very bad. The car is too new to have these types of catastrophic issues. It was $9000 to resolve the issue according to the dealer. I had to go somewhere else. Also the screen has problems where it turns blue, and stops working, where the music playing will also stop and you cannot skip to another song. A hard reboot is the solution, but on a daily basis? I know that other models, the Aviator and Corsair, have the same issues. I have the same problem. When contacting Lincoln dealer for the same issue, they state there is no recall. I really like the Lincoln but there seem to be quite a few problems. Will these be placed in a recall list?

I brought my Lincoln Nautilus to an authorized Lincoln dealership due to a serious transmission issue. The dealer kept the vehicle for four days, diagnosed a potential transmission failure, and told me that the transmission could “blow.” However, they returned the car to me unrepaired and admitted they could not fix it anytime soon. The reason: the dealership has only one transmission technician, and that person is currently working through a backlog of transmission jobs from March. My vehicle — with a known safety risk — was effectively placed at the back of a months-long line, with no estimated repair date. I contacted Lincoln Concierge, who opened a case but informed me there was “nothing they could do.” I now have a car that is unsafe to drive due to a transmission issue that the manufacturer and dealership both acknowledge but are unable to address in a timely or safe manner. This presents a serious safety risk. A transmission failure while driving could result in loss of control, sudden deceleration, or breakdown in active traffic. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this issue as a systemic safety failure — both in terms of the defect itself and Lincoln’s inability to service it promptly.

With booster seats in rear seat, passenger side seat belt is extremely difficult to snap in in place. Got extenders but will not work on passenger rear seat different than the other 2 rear buckles. Wife can not strap grand children in and I the grandfather have a hard time. Shouldn't all the belts be the same? No problems with the other's.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE LEFT LANE, OF A MULTI-LANE INTERSTATE. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. THERE WAS A STANDARD-SIZED DUMP TRUCK IN THE LANE NEXT TO MINE, UP AHEAD. THE ROAD WAS STRAIGHT, WITH ONLY A SLIGHT INCLINE. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME FOR AT LEAST A HALF OF A MILE OR MORE, AND ALL TRAFFIC WAS RUNNING SMOOTHLY. AS I PASSED THE TRUCK, THE CAR SUDDENLY JAMMED ON THE BRAKES. I'M NOT SURE, BUT I EITHER INSTINCTIVELY HIT CANCEL ON THE CRUISE CONTROL, OR I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. EITHER WAY, IT ARRESTED THE HARD BRAKING SITUATION. I NOTICED THAT THE SUN WAS AT MY 2 O'CLOCK POSITION, AND AS I BEGAN TO PASS THE DUMP TRUCK, ITS' SHADOW WAS THROWN ONTO MY VEHICLE. I'M SURMISING THAT PERHAPS THE COMPUTER THOUGHT THE SHADOW WAS AN OBJECT AND TOOK ACTION. REGARDLESS, THIS WAS AN ENORMOUS SAFETY ISSUE. HAD THERE BEEN A VEHICLE CLOSE BEHIND ME, IT WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY RESULTED IN A MASSIVE ACCIDENT. IF THIS CAR CONTAINS AN EVENT RECORDER, I WOULD BE HAPPY FOR YOU OR LINCOLN TO DOWNLOAD THE DATA. I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN THE "SAFETY" FEATURES OF THIS CAR, PARTICULARLY THE ACTIVE BRAKING SYSTEM / COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM. I HAVE NOTICED IN THE PAST, THAT IT WILL JAM ON THE BRAKES AS IT'S COMING AROUND A CURVE ON A MULTI LANE ROAD, WHEN IT DOESN'T "SEE" THAT THE CAR AHEAD OF ME, IS ACTUALLY IN ANOTHER LANE. I HAD LEARNED TO ANTICIPATE THAT BEHAVIOR, BUT NOT THE BEHAVIOR EXPERIENCED YESTERDAY, WITH THE ALL-OUT PANIC BRAKE. IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP INVESTIGATE THIS INCIDENT, PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP.

I AM WRITING YOU BECAUSE OF MY CONCERN WITH THE 2019 LINCOLN NAUTILUS SUV. I HAVE LEASED THIS CAR FROM LANDMARK LINCOLN IN ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO. I HAD A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE ON FRIDAY NIGHT, DECEMBER 20, 2019. I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY THROUGH A PARKING LOT IN A COMMERCIAL AREA WHEN MY CAR WENT DEAD. NO LIGHTS, NO POWER ' EVERYTHING INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CAR WAS DARK. I WAS BLOCKING CARS PARKED PERPENDICULAR TO WHERE I WAS STUCK. THEY COULDN'T GET OUT AS I WAS IN THEIR WAY. OF GREATEST CONCERN WAS THAT I WAS LEFT 'IN HARM'S WAY' WITH A COMPLETELY DEAD CAR AND NO WAY TO MOVE IT TO A SAFE AREA. WE COULD NOT PUSH THE CAR BECAUSE IT WAS LOCKED IN GEAR AND NOT IN NEUTRAL. LUCKY FOR ME I WAS IN A PARKING LOT. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY WITH SPEEDS OF 55 MPH, I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED AND MY CAR RUINED BY SOMEONE CRASHING INTO ME. IT WAS DARK AND I WOULD HAVE NO PROTECTION FOR ME AND MY CAR IF SOMEONE INADVERTENTLY SLAMMED INTO ME, NOT SEEING ME OR MY VEHICLE. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME TYPE OF EMERGENCY LIGHTS OR ANOTHER WAY TO PREVENT THIS POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP HAPPENING TO SOMEONE ELSE. PLEASE WORK WITH LINCOLN AND OTHER MANUFACTURERS TO INSURE BETTER SAFETY FOR CONSUMERS.

WHILE DRIVING THE 2019 LINCOLN NAUTILUS ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY WITH ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND LANE CENTERING ON, THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN TURNED INTO THE NEXT LANE. IT DOES THIS BOTH TO THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT. I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH BOTH MY MOTHER AND THE LINCOLN SERVICE MANAGER ON SEPARATE INCIDENTS WHEN IT OCCURRED. ALSO, I TOOK IT ON A TEST DRIVE WITH THE LEAD MECHANIC AND IT DID THE SAME THING TO HIM TO THE RIGHT, RIGHT WHERE OUR VETERINARIAN OFFICE IS LOCATED. CENTER LINE WAS STILL THERE. AFTER THEY HAD THE CAR FOR A FEW DAYS, AND A CONVERSATION WITH THE GENERAL MANAGER, THEY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS WORKING AS DESIGNED, THEY CHECKED OTHER NON-NAUTULIS VEHICLES AND FOUND THE SAME THING. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN ON AN INTERSTATE. I WAS SHOCKED. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AND AN INTERSTATE.

HEADLIGHTS. THE HEADLIGHTS DURING THE NIGHT WHEN IN AUTO MODE WILL FLASH THE HIGH BEAMS WITHOUT INDICATION ON THE DASH. THE FLASHING LIGHTS CAUSE DISTRACTIONS ON THE ROADS WHILE DRIVING, BLINDING ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND SIGNALING OTHER DRIVERS. THE VEHICLE DOES HAVE AUTO HIGH BEAM FEATURE BUT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE FLASHING WHEN TRAFFIC IS PRESENT IN WELL LIT AREAS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND HAS BEEN ADDRESS WITH LINCOLN WHO HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. VEHICLE LIGHTING IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT ON THE ROADS. IN INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS SUCH AS "FOG" COULD BLIND THE DRIVER OR OTHER DRIVERS AND CAUSE A CRASH. THERE HAS BEEN OTHER LINCOLN NAUTILUS BROUGHT IN FOR THE SAME ISSUES AND WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT IT IS OUR VISION AND NOT THE VEHICLE. I HAVE A RECORDING OF THE VEHICLE IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FLASHING THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS IN WELL LIT CONDITIONS WITH TRAFFIC.
