On 5/18/19, car was sitting outside all day. the temperature reached95 degrees that day. that night as i was leaving, i decided to open the sunroof and when i hit the button, the panel would only open 1/2 inch. i thought something was blocking it so i closed it back. when i did that, the inside sunroof panel material started wrinkling up. i proceeded to open again and the same thing happened. i left it alone until the next day. i tried opening it again and the next time i heard something snapped. as i was investigating the inside panel, it had ripped. it looked as though the sun had melting the plastic and as it cooled, when the sunroof opened, it ripped the inside panel cover. now, this have to be replaced. there need to be better another type of material that's not affected by the sun and also a better tint to protect the glass from getting to hot and causing trapped heat to melt plastic and/or adhesive to come apart. this is a hazard if the sunroof can't open if fire, crash, or smoke is trapped inside the vehicle. i have a infant and two dogs that ride in this vehicle.

My vehicle has had 4 instances where it will not start and vehicle notes that the battery is low. this has left me stranded and needing a tow or jump. dealership had been unable to determine the draw and had replaced the battery but issue has occurred since. i have contacted lincoln but they have not been able to assist with getting this fixed as it is an intermittent issue. the car has failed to start at the dealership once. a search online will show this is a common issue and no one has found a solution to the problem.

I live in the midwest and it was cold outside and i was driving home with my brand new state of the art lincoln. when i was heading home my car indicated low battery, which i assumed would charge as i continued to drive. next thing i know, everything was turning off (all internal displays, headlights, wipers, steering) due to conserving battery while i was on a major interstate in a blizzard. i thought i was going to die, on the interstate in a blizzard at 60 mph. i finally got over to the side of the road and it went into park. the dealer called and stated it was a bad alternator. great, my issue is the battery voltage is so low that the combination with temp and alternator everything shut off in such a quick mode it gave me no time to safely exit off the road. the car is not designed to support this situation and i have the cold climate package, this is why we are paying a high price for engineers to do their job and understand how the systems act together. how is the government and manufacture allowing this situation to happen. my life and being a mother to three kids is more important than a small cost reduction.

While driving at 5mph, the ignition button was accidentally pushed in. when this happened, the engine immediately turned off, the vehicle rolled for a second and then the car came to a halt as if i slammed on the brakes. the ignition button is located next to the computer screen and the passenger had accidentally pushed it in when he was changing the radio station on the computer screen. *tr
