Recall 19v-077 was performed in 2019. On 12/20/24 the passenger front door was closed and is now unable to open again from the inside or outside. A message is displayed on the dash stating "passenger front door open". Called lincoln corporate support and spoke with elaine, she told me the recall has already been performed, and cannot be performed again under any type of warranty or extension as the recall had a cutoff date and has "expired". No parts warranty on the superseded parts either. Told me i will have to come out of my pocket for diagnosis and repairs of the faulty parts installed under their safety recall. Considering the door is not fully latched and can just randomly open on its own given the right conditions this is neglect for my safety and other drivers or pedestrians on the road that may be near the moving vehicle if the door were to open on its own.

My 2019 lincoln continental has been displaying an adaptive steering failure message for over 8 months now. I have taken the vehicle to multiple dealership and they just tell me the part is on back order. I have contracted the lincoln office 888-214-2155 three times now 9/2/24, 10/10/24, 10/30/24, and just get the same answer. Someone will call me back. I never get a call back. My case # with lincoln is [xxx]. The owners manual says that it is not safe to drive the vehicle with this issue however the dealer ship tell me it's ok. What can i do to escalate this??

I had a faulty secondary hood safety latch. My hood came up and flew off while i was driving at 45 miles per hour. The safety latch did not catch like it should have. I have since had it repaired which cost about $8,000. The hood still comes unlatched and pops open.

The driver door would not latch closed all of a sudden, had to be secure to drive to dealer through the use of a seat belt through the inside door handle. This occurred at approximately 65,000 miles. This repair was within my extended vehicle warranty.
The driver side passenger door handle failed and would not open from the outside. This occurred at approximately 75,003 miles. This repair was just outside my extended vehicle warranty.
The driver side rear passenger door would not latch closed and had to be secured to drive to dealer through the use of a seat belt through the inside door handle. This occurred at approximately 79,000 miles. This repair was not covered by dealer. This was a latch and motor repair of $1,000, also caused an expense of an additional $550 to me of a rental car as dealer did not get a part for 6 days. Lincoln concierge could care less, just awful customer relations from ford/lincoln.
