Lincoln Corsair problems
The Lincoln Corsair is a compact luxury crossover marketed and sold by the Lincoln brand of Ford Motor Company since the 2020 model year. It replaced the MKC.
In 2020, the Corsair was the best-selling vehicle for the Lincoln brand.
Overview
The Lincoln Corsair made its debut on April 17, 2019 at the New York Auto Show and shares its underpinnings with the 2020 Ford Escape. The Corsair joins the Lincoln Nautilus (previously the Lincoln MKX), Lincoln Aviator, Lincoln Continental, and Lincoln Navigator in the Lincoln model line. The name "Corsair" has previously been used on several other Ford Motor Company products including the Edsel Corsair and the British Ford Corsair.
The Corsair is available in Base, Reserve, and Grand Touring trims, the latter of which is available as a gasoline/electric hybrid only.
The Corsair went on sale in the fall of 2019 and is offered in gasoline and plug-in hybrid versions. Chinese deliveries began in May 2020.
The transmission is no longer activated with a center console installed transmission selector; the computer controlled transmission uses buttons installed below the MyLincoln Touch infotainment touch screen labeled "P, R, N, D, S", In the late 1950s a similar feature was offered on all 1957 and 1958 Mercury sedans called Multi-Drive. During the same time, Chrysler offered the push button TorqueFlite and Packard offered the Ultramatic. The "S" transmission selection represents "Sport" mode, where the Continuously Controlled Damping suspension, electric power steering and transmission shift points take on a different posture.
In 2023, the Corsair received a facelift.

Lincoln Corsair 2023
- Date Of Incident: 2024-02-18
- Date Complaint: 2024-03-17
- VIN: 5LMCJ2DA0PU
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: Purchased car in early January 2024 and on February 18th the vehicle wouldn't start. Got the vehicle to start after jumping it and drove straight to the dealership to have it checked / repaired. The car has been in the dealership service bay ever since. I worked with dealership and then escalated the issue to Lincoln Concierge Group (corporate office). I am told it is an issue with the Audio Control Module (ACM) where the electronics continue to draw down on the battery even after the car is shut off. The Lincoln programmers have taken multiple attempts to fix the problem ... all unsuccessfully. The new car has been in the dealership for OVER a month now. They have provided a loaner in the meantime but that is little consolation for the time and concerns we have with the vehicle purchased. I have asked that they consider the vehicle a lemon and allow for acquisition of another Lincoln. These requests have been denied but may be considered in the future. Looking for assistance in resolving this issue.

Are you having problems with your Lincoln Corsair?

I bought a 2020 Lincoln Corsair in October 2020 and was thrilled to finally own a luxury car. However, after just three months, I encountered some issues. In February 2021, the car wouldn't start and even when it did, it would cut off as soon as I put it in gear. I was disappointed to have problems with a brand new car, especially when the dashboard didn't light up and displayed a computer error message. To make matters worse, I had to arrange for a tow truck to take the car to the dealership myself, as Lincoln did not provide this service. As a luxury car company, I expected better customer service. This is not only a review of the car, but also of the customer service at Lincoln, which promised a great purchasing experience. Unfortunately, I learned the hard way.

The vehicle's engine produces excessive noise, and it struggles to handle bumps while exhibiting a weak front end. Additionally, there is a persistent roaring noise emanating from the right rear. Despite replacing both front hubs, the issue remains unresolved and continues to be a source of irritation.

I had a disappointing experience with my Lincoln car purchase. The seats were very hard and uncomfortable, causing me muscle problems during my daily 60-mile commute. Although I tried to exchange the car, I was told I needed to pay $7,000.00 within a week. Despite reaching out to the Lincoln Concierge for help, I was unable to find a solution. As a result, I have resorted to renting cars for long trips. While this may not be my last American-made car purchase, I am considering a Cadillac for my next one. I hope that Lincoln can improve their customer satisfaction in the future.

Luxury starts with the ride. While the Ford suspension engineers may have missed the mark on this one, there are still plenty of other options to consider. The power seat controls on the side of the driver's door may be a bit tricky to operate, but with a little practice, they can be managed. Additionally, some may find the front half of the console to be unnecessary, but it's always good to have extra storage space. While the Ford Edge IP layout may be more to your liking, the Corsair still has plenty of great features to offer. We appreciate your feedback and hope to find a vehicle that better suits your needs.

Hello, when I first leased this vehicle, everything was fine. However, after 6 months, I started experiencing some issues. I received messages stating that the car was entering Deep Sleep Mode and over the course of three months, I received at least 35 of these messages. The battery died on two occasions and I had to have the car towed to the dealership. The dealership's solution was to charge the battery, which worked for a few weeks before the cycle repeated itself. The service technician found a wiring issue and that eventually solved the problem. The second issue was more troubling. Leaving work one day, I started the car and got a message that stated, 'Vehicle Network Communication Error'. The whole dashboard went out, the windows wouldn't let down, I couldn't open the trunk, adjust the mirrors, etc. Luckily, I was able to drive it home. The next day, the battery was totally dead and I had to have the car towed back to the dealership. The technician said it was a fuse, which was not covered under warranty, so I had to pay out of pocket. Approximately 6 months later, the car did the exact same thing in a Kroger parking lot. It was in the shop for three days and each time I called and asked for an update, they couldn't tell me what the issue was. Finally, after a conversation with the chief engineer, it was determined that there was a shortage in the dashboard. I can only hope that the issue is now fixed. I truly believe that modern vehicles have too much technology and the service technicians are not trained thoroughly enough to diagnose these problems and fix them correctly the first time. I tried to get out of this lease early, but unfortunately, Lincoln wouldn't buy the car back. Needless to say, when this lease is up, this will certainly be my last Lincoln product.
