Lincoln Nautilus problems
The Lincoln Nautilus is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV marketed and sold by the Lincoln brand of Ford Motor Company. The Nautilus was initially renamed from the MKX as part of a mid-cycle update in 2018 for the 2019 model year, as Lincoln phased out its use of "MK" model names. The name 'Nautilus' is derived from the ancient Greek word nautes, meaning "sailor," as in nautical or astronaut.
The first generation is based on the CD4 platform, and was manufactured at Oakville Assembly in Oakville, Ontario, Canada alongside the Ford Edge, Ford Flex, and Lincoln MKT and manufactured in Hangzhou Assembly in Zhejiang, China by joint venture Changan Ford from 2021 to 2023. The second generation is solely produced by Changan Ford in China, as Ford is retooling the Oakville Assembly plant to produce electric vehicles.
First generation (U540; 2019)
The Lincoln Nautilus was released as the mid-cycle revision of the second-generation MKX in November 2017 for the 2019 model year. Adopting the styling of the newly introduced Continental and Navigator, the Nautilus transitioned from the previous split-wing grille to a large rectangular grille with a large Lincoln star emblem.
The counterpart of the updated Ford Edge, the Nautilus is slotted between the Aviator and the MKC (which was replaced by Corsair for the 2020 model year) in Lincoln's lineup. A 245-horsepower (248 PS; 183 kW) 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline-four is the standard engine, with a 335-horsepower (340 PS; 250 kW) 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 carried over from the MKX as an option; both engines are fitted with start-stop capability. An 8-speed automatic transmission is paired to both engines (replacing the previous 6-speed).
For the 2021 model year, the Nautilus was once again refreshed with a new interior similar to the new Navigator, Aviator, and Corsair, featuring a larger 13.2" touchscreen and Ford's latest SYNC 4 system. Minor changes were also made to the front bumper.

Common Lincoln Nautilus problems
The Lincoln Nautilus, a luxury crossover SUV, has its fair share of common problems across various model years. While the vehicle is generally reliable, certain issues have been reported by owners, particularly with the 2019 model year.
One of the most common problems with the 2019 Lincoln Nautilus involves the transmission. Owners have reported jerky shifting, unexpected stalling, and complete transmission failure in severe cases. These issues can be particularly concerning for drivers, as they may lead to safety hazards on the road.
Electronic troubles are another common complaint among 2019 Nautilus owners. Problems with the infotainment system have been noted, including lagging response times, system crashes, and difficulties with navigation features. These issues can be frustrating for drivers, as they may affect the overall user experience and functionality of the vehicle's technology.
Interior concerns have also been reported for the 2019 Lincoln Nautilus. Some drivers have mentioned that certain interior parts appear less durable and show early signs of wear. This can be disappointing for owners, as they may expect a higher level of quality and durability from a luxury vehicle.
While these issues have been reported, it's important to note that the Lincoln Nautilus has generally received high-reliability ratings from sources like J.D. Power. The vehicle's performance, interior, and safety features have received positive reviews, indicating that the Nautilus is a reliable choice for those seeking a luxury midsize SUV.
However, it's crucial for potential buyers to consider the maintenance history and care of each used vehicle, as this can significantly impact its dependability. A well-cared-for Nautilus from a reliable model year could potentially offer a more reliable ride than a neglected one from a later year.
In summary, while the Lincoln Nautilus has demonstrated strong reliability overall, certain model years, such as the 2019 model, have shown more issues than others. Potential buyers should be aware of these common problems and consider the vehicle's maintenance history when purchasing a used Nautilus.

Have suggested to have an engineer from the company to ride along. Not happening. The keep closing the case. September of last year we were driving through Richmond, Virginia on our way to Florida and, it went into the DEATH WOBBLE at 65mph. Shook so bad it snapped my front hitch system and could not tow the car and had to be trailer towed to a dealership. There are other reports out there on the web of other people having the same issue. Was told at one point it could be my equipment. After it broke my system last September and almost lost the car, my insurance company paid to have car repaired and installed a NEW Blue Ox system and it did it again. This time at slower speed and I was able to control. Told ALL DEALERSHIPS AND LINCOLN howitzer is happening and steering is not going back to zero after I make a turn or hit a bump. No reaction. One dealership told me I should not be towing that car, but the car is set up to be towed, according to owners manual. Repair documentation is with Lincoln and insurance company, with all reports. Have a date of September of last year because that was the big one, but started August of 2023, March of 2024, August of 2024 2 times. Each time reported to Lincoln and taken to shop. Could have been a serious accident if I didn't control the motorhome and car.

- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-12
- Date Complaint: 2024-08-12
- VIN: 2LMPJ8L93KB
- Components: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,WHEELS
- Summary: This car has had continued issues with gear shifting up and down. It was bright into a dealership last year to fix the recall issues, however, it seems to have made it worse. The acceleration suddenly drops when going up a hill and revs loudly, pushing the pedal nearly to the ground unexpectedly. It seems to get stuck between gears both up shifting and down. It's nearly caused accidents.

- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-01
- Date Complaint: 2024-08-09
- VIN: 2LMPJ6J99KB
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: Rear hatch does not open. You can not manually open it from outside or inside. My wife had a flat on the highway and could not change her tire as she could not access it. The hatch as failed on the button on the dash, the remote key fob and the foot opener under bumper. This is so dangerous for safety to exit the car from inside and well as getting to spare tire.
Lincoln Nautilus 2020
- Date Of Incident: 2024-07-09
- Date Complaint: 2024-07-13
- VIN: 2LMPJ8KP6LB
- Components: WHEELS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: When I took the vehicle in for service, I had to replace all 20 lug nuts as the dealer service department reported they were "swollen" and they were unable to complete the tire rotation. This also poses a safety risk as if I had a flat tire, I could not get them off to change a tire. They could also break causing stress on others and cause a wheel to come off of the vehicle. I was advised that this is a common problem with Ford/Lincoln vehicles, however there didn't seem to be any warranty coverage or safety recalls. If this is a common problem or some type of defect, it seems that I should not have had to spend $240 to replace them.

Car only has 44K miles on it...Waiting on someone from Ford to call back to see why it is not covered.

Vehicle year: 2021
My wife and I have a sporty Alfa Romeo and a luxurious Jaguar XF, but when we go out together, we always take our Lincoln Nautilus. It's the perfect vehicle for us, with a smooth and confident ride, and all the comfort features we could ask for. We've been taking a lot of highway trips lately, and we've really come to appreciate the 22-way massaging seats. Living out west where the speed limit can be 80mph (and the traffic even faster), we love the great handling and acceleration on tap at any speed (2.7L turbo engine). The vehicle has the towing package and effortlessly pulls our boat. The adaptive cruise control makes traffic maneuvers simple, and it's always looking out for the driver. We found an excellent dealership that was very professional and gave us a good price without any haggling. Our Nautilus is still our go-to vehicle, even after almost 33K miles. It's comfortable, responsive, and makes driving easy with all its driver's aids. It's also versatile enough to carry whatever we need, whether it's bicycles, furniture, or lumber. Mechanically, it has been flawless. We initially leased this vehicle, thinking that in a couple of years we might want to look at an EV, but now that we've paid it off, we know it's a keeper. At 35K miles and 3 1/2 years, it's still performing flawlessly. It's our heavy-duty vehicle, and it does everything we ask of it without being too large to maneuver in traffic and parking lots.

I have to say, I was initially skeptical. As a two-time Volvo and Lexus owner, I wanted to give an American-made vehicle a fair chance. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the Lincoln Nautilus. Its standard tech package far surpassed that of its competitors, including the Lexus, Audi, Infinity, and Acura - all of which are comparable vehicles. What really stood out were the four features that were either unavailable or required an additional package in the non-Lincoln vehicles, but were standard in the Nautilus: integrated remote starter, rear heated seats, touchscreen navigation system, free mobile app, and wireless charger. The only feature that I had in my Lexus but not in the Nautilus was the side review mirrors that adjust when the car is placed in reverse. It's not a deal-breaker for me, but it's worth noting. Overall, I'm impressed with the Nautilus and would highly recommend it.

The SUV exceeded your expectations in all categories, including style, comfort, handling, power, interior appointments, and cargo space. Although you were not fond of the gas-saving restart feature, you would definitely purchase a newer vehicle again.

Vehicle year: 2020
We recently shopped for a new SUV after loving our 2007 Lincoln MKX with 128,000 miles. Our first stop was the Lincoln dealer near us, where we found the perfect match - an Ice Mocha Reserve 1 Nautilus with V6 and AWD. The Reserve 1 package included more options than we were looking for, but we were thrilled to have the 360 degree cameras and navigation. After one test drive, we were sold on the outstanding performance of the V6 w/ AWD and all the great safety features. The sales staff were very helpful, and we appreciated the X-Plan pricing with no negotiation needed, as well as the 0.9% 48 month financing and $2500 in rebates. We also test drove the new model 2020 Aviator, but found it to be too big and slow in performance compared to the Nautilus, despite its beautiful interior and exterior design!

Sitting in this vehicle feels like sitting on the bridge of the Enterprise Space Ship. It is the most beautiful and feature-rich vehicle I have ever purchased, and I've owned a BMW and a Mercedes Benz. The 2022 Nautilus is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned.
Are you having problems with your Lincoln Nautilus?

I understand that the author of this text has had a negative experience with their 2019 Nautilus, and I would like to assure them that their concerns are valid and important. It is unfortunate that they have had to deal with multiple issues with their vehicle, and I can understand how this would be frustrating. However, I would like to emphasize that Lincoln is committed to providing high-quality vehicles and excellent customer service. I would encourage the author to reach out to Lincoln directly to discuss their concerns and explore potential solutions. Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I hope that we can work together to address these issues and improve your overall experience with Lincoln.

The transmission issue has been brought to the attention of the service team on three separate occasions, with each visit resulting in a reprogramming of the system. However, the problem persists, and the latest suggestion is that I should drive the car more frequently to allow for a smoother gear change. As a luxury vehicle, it is reasonable to expect a high level of performance from the outset, without the need for a learning period.

This beautiful car would be great if the voice commands worked properly. I understand how frustrating it can be when they don't. Additionally, there seems to be too much unnecessary information on the screen, making it feel cluttered. However, the most important issue is the voice activation, which barely works. I hope this feedback is helpful to you.

Let's start with the positives. I really like how my Lincoln looks and drives. The 2.7 L engine is very responsive and the 21-way seats are incredibly comfortable. Additionally, there's plenty of room inside and the car is well-made. However, I have experienced some issues that have made me regret my purchase. When accelerating onto the highway, the words 'power reduced brakes applied' suddenly appear on the screen and the car slows down, which can be dangerous. I have taken it to the dealer, but the issue persists. The brakes have also jammed on the expressway, which is a recipe for disaster. While I have taken it back to the dealer and they have tried to fix it, the issue still persists. Unfortunately, these issues have made me reluctant to take it out of the city and I would not recommend it to anyone. Despite its strengths, the idiosyncrasies of this car could be fatal.It looks like there may be some challenges, but let's see what we can do to find a solution.

I would like to share my experience with the Nautilus. I took possession of my 2019 Nautilus in December 2018. It is a loaded vehicle with a 6 cyl turbo Reserve and all the bells and whistles. Unfortunately, I have been experiencing some issues with the transmission, brakes, and a loud metal scraping, clanging sound from under the middle of the car when I open any of the doors. Despite taking it to the dealership, they have not been able to fix anything and I feel like they don't believe me. As someone who previously owned an MKX and loved it, I regret ordering a new model the first year of release. I urge you to be cautious before purchasing this vehicle and to check the complaints on CarComplaints.com. I am not alone in my disappointment.
