Lincoln Aviator 2022 — Problemas reportados

Drivers side seat controls (drivers side door), light which illuminates controls, started flickering incontrollably at +/- 33,000 miles, causing significant distraction to the driver as is within drivers' peripheral vision, during nightime driving. Reported to dealership McDavid Lincoln Frisco, states there is a failure in the seat control unit, causing the light flicker, and recommended a replacement of the whole seat control unit. 10/23/26, Repair has not yet been authorised, as vehicle is just out of the 4 year warranty period.

The contact owns a 2022 Lincoln Aviator. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V455000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available.

The contact owns a 2022 Lincoln Aviator. The contact stated that upon parking the vehicle after an extended road trip, the contact noticed that the driver’s side and passenger’s side rear doors window bars and C-pillar trims had detached. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V407000 (Structure). The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the failure was confirmed but the contact was informed that the vehicle was not covered because the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 82,000.

My vehicle’s alarm repeatedly activates while the vehicle is parked, turned off, and locked, approximately every 15 minutes. When the vehicle is unlocked, the front and rear lights remain illuminated even though the vehicle is turned off and the keys are not in or near it. The battery was tested twice after the vehicle had been at rest before I brought it to the dealership. The dealership subsequently replaced the battery for approximately $350, stating that this would likely resolve the symptoms. The dealership then performed a $250 diagnostic and advised that the rear passenger door latch had failed and the overhead front light console was shorted and needed replacement. I am concerned about the unexplained lighting and electrical malfunctions, repeated alarm activation, and resulting battery depletion and starting reliability. I have also experienced intermittent difficulty starting the vehicle, unusually shrill startup warning sounds, and failure of the normal startup display to appear. I do not know whether these symptoms share the same underlying cause. I have seen numerous reports from other Lincoln owners on Reddit describing rear passenger door latch failures causing repeated alarm activation. I request that NHTSA assess whether these reports and my experience indicate a recurring safety-related defect warranting investigation. The dealership’s diagnosis concerns the door latch; I have not observed the door opening unexpectedly.

The contact owns a 2022 Lincoln Aviator. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle experienced excessive fuel consumption and reduced power, hesitation and jerking while accelerating. Additionally, while turning left, the steering was difficult to turn. The contact stated that there was an abnormal burning odor while driving at high speeds. The contact associated the failure with the wheels, and the vehicle was taken to the Chevrolet dealer where it was purchased and an alignment was performed; however, the failure persisted. The contact was advised that the failure might be associated with NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V455000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, a local dealer and Webb Ford, Inc. (9809 Indianapolis Blvd, Highland, IN 46322); informed the contact that parts were not yet available for the recall repair. The manufacturer, Ford Motor Company, was contacted and confirmed that the part was unavailable. The failure mileage was approximately 34,000.

The contact owns a 2022 Lincoln Aviator. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the second-row rear seats folded independently while the contact’s daughter was seated in the second-row seats. The failure caused bruises on the child's face and arms on several occasions. Medical attention was not sought. The contact stated that while the child safety seat was strapped into the second-row seats, the seat independently unlatched and became unsecured. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed; however, no cause for the failure was found. The vehicle was taken to another local dealer, Hagerstown Ford (1714 Massey Blvd, Hagerstown, MD 21740) for a second opinion, where it was diagnosed, and both second-row seats failed a safety inspection. The vehicle was not repaired. Upon further investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V451000 (Seats); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 54,000.

While driving, there is a loss of fuel pressure at random. It has happened when stopped at traffic light and while driving on the freeway, the vehicle does not respond to the gas pedal being pressed. This is unsafe for myself and my passengers, as I cannot confidently change lanes as I never know when it will happen. The problem has been reported to the dealership, but no confirmation on their ability to reproduce this. It was announced as a recall issue 07/2025 but still not resolution. There are never any warning lights before this happens, so its always a surprise when it happens.

The contact owns a 2022 Lincoln Aviator. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 26V123000 (Back Over Prevention) and 25V455000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the parts for the repairs were unavailable. The contact stated the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the remedy to be available. The contact stated that the back over camera and alarm system would fail intermittently, and the park aid stopped message would display on the vehicle. The dealer was contacted, and it was confirmed that the remedy for 26V123000 (Back Over Prevention) would not be available till Q2 OF 2026, and they were unsure of when the remedy for 25V455000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) would be available. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced any failure was approximately 57,000.

REF RECALL 26V117 (Wiper Motor failure) & MY (2) PRIOR NHTSA COMPLAINTS; 11681607 & 11688314 (Autosense wiper operation failure). Autosense wiping does not clear wIndshield enough for visibility & therefore can’t be relied upon for safe driving. The only way to get MANUAL INTERMITTENT wiper operation is to go to SYNC settings & turn off auto wiper while driving in rain on Hwy at 65+ mph. Seriously?! THIS IS DISTRACTED DRIVING AT ITS WORST. Took dealer 2+ yrs to discover the shipping protective film used on wiper sensor was NOT removed by Chicago assembly plant prior to installing the sensor. Apr 2025, dealer replaced my sensor however it failed again by Aug 2025. Dealer had car 10/28/25-12/22/25 to fix multiple issues incl Autosense wiping. No codes appear & they can’t ID root cause of problem. Took car back for service 12/29/25-2/13/26 (multiple issues incl this) & they still can’t ID root cause. Given there’s now also a recall for wiper motor failure I requested a loaner from Lincoln CHQ but they have refused. I’M REQUESTING NHTSA REQUIRE LINCOLN TO PROVIDE LOANERS UNTIL THEY FIX ALL WIPER OPERATION FAILURES.

Lincoln Way App team bricked (some) users by deploying an App update early Feb 2026 that was not backwards compatible for use of basic features/function. I last used App Jan 2026 while car was at dealer but when I picked up car 2/13/26 I was BRICKED with no ability to use App since. Checked Lincoln website & compatibility reqmt stated IOS 16.0 is min req’d, updates are optional & not required to continue use for basic features like lock/unlock, remote start, chk tire pressure, etc. (see screenshot attached). Opened case w/Lincoln Way App team 2/17/26. Ops mgr confirmed my iphone was compatible & iOS 16.0 was still min. reqmt. Said he’d escalate. Suddenly, wks later Lincoln updated website & changed compatibility requirements with NO NOTICE TO USERS (before or since) they’ve changed compatibility reqmts (they have users names, email, addr & phone #s since they’re req’d upon setup). In addition, NONE of the App version release notes shown in App Store indicate any change to Min compatibility reqmts. Development team is negligent & Lincoln needs to fix.

REF C PILLAR RECALL & NHTSA Complaint # 11713372 by another owner on 11/18/25. NHTSA NEEDS TO ISSUE RECALL FOR A PILLARS. Have had wind noise issue on front passenger side since I bought car. Dealer looked at numerous times in 3 yrs & always stated ‘unable to recreate condition’ (likely due to not testing on Hwy at 65mph which is when this noise can be heard). Took car in for C Pillar recall fall 2025. Dealer said they weren’t loose so didn’t replace them. Left w/car 12/22/25 & immed heard wind noise on Hwy. Returned to service & this time, DEALER INSPECTED A PILLARS & FOUND RIGHT SIDE WAS LOOSE so replaced both. Tried to charge me (was 2 wks out of warranty) but given multiple attempted repairs during warranty & my open case w/CHQ they split repair cost. Thankfully A pillars didn’t break loose & injure human or another driver in past 3 yrs. Dealer told me Ford had A pillar recall but Lincoln’s weren’t included in it. There appears to be a pervasive issue with failure of the adhesive used for many parts by the assembly plant.

THIS REQUIRES A RECALL ASAP. Dealers are well aware of this problem as is Lincoln CHQ but Lincoln refuses to address it. Rear camera cannot differentiate between steady rain & an object which then causes car to engage the collision avoidance system which then prevents ability to drive in reverse gear. There have been many rearview camera recalls on this car & each has made things worse. The ONLY way I can drive car in reverse (in rain) is to TURN OFF collision avoidance system (insane). Having to turn off this safety feature when it’s needed the most (in rain) is VERY dangerous. I tapped a person backing out of a parking spot. He was walking in blind spot, couldn’t see him on rearview camera, parking sensor alerts failed, collision avoidance was off because I can’t drive in reverse in rain. Thank God he wasn’t injured. BEGGING NHTSA TO FORCE A RECALL BEFORE A HUMAN GETS RUN OVER.

Regarding safety recall notice 25S66/NHTSA recall 25V407 - we took our car to the local Lincoln dealer in Lubbock (Gene Messer Ford/Lincoln) in late November for the repair of the recall "C-Pillar Applique Delamination." There was considerable wind/rattle noise coming from the passenger side, which is a component of the recall. After completing the recall we noticed the wind/rattle noise is still there and even slightly worse. We have contacted the service representative at Gene Messer Ford/Lincoln regarding this and have yet to receive a reply. We are reaching out to you for a solution to the noise problem. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks for your time, [XXX] and [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owns a 2022 Lincoln Aviator. The contact stated that while driving at 35 MPH and entering the on-ramp, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was restarted. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V455000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, but the vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 47,000.

On July 25, 2025 my 2022 Lincoln Aviator Hybrid Grand Touring Edition stalled while driving on Interstate 25 in Colorado Springs. I lost partial control of the vehicle but was able to guide it onto the shoulder and allow it to coast to a stop. I had this vehicle towed to the dealership (where it was purchased new): Phil Long Lincoln, Motor City in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It has been there ever since (almost 5 months) and has not been repaired. The service department suspects that the current safety recall issued July 8, 2025 (NHTSA Recall number: 25V455) was the root cause. They claim they could find nothing in the logs but they cannot rule out this as a problem. This is a life threatening issue with this vehicle and I have also been without my car for almost 5 months with repair available or capable by the dealer or Lincoln. This a very unreasonable amount of time and has been an undue burden upon me. I have sought to get a vehicle buy back under both the Lemon Law and the duration of this safety recall and they have refused (Lincoln corporate and the dealership). Please help.

Rear door trim came loose and fell off while driving. Had the service department at the local dealership look at the missing trim on the rear of the car and they noticed multiple of the plastic clips holding the trim on the rear were broken and remained in the area where the trim was attached.

high voltage alert and vehicle shuts down and unable to drive and car locks up Should be recall# 23s53 and NHTSA campaign # 23v-626 It has not been repaired yet and this is very frustrating has happened 4-5 times Last incident happened on 11/7/2025 inside of a car wash & had to get towed

The contact owns a 2022 Lincoln Aviator. The contact stated that while driving at 30 MPH, the trim pieces on the liftgate partially detached. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic to be diagnosed; however, the vehicle received an unknown recall repair and was provided an estimate for the repair. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,333.

1- ABS/Braking Issue The ABS system appears to be malfunctioning. On multiple occasions, typically once or twice a week, when I apply the brakes, the tires lock up and cause the vehicle to skid. This happens most often when descending hills or backing up on a sloped driveway. The wheels lock and slide until I release the brake pedal, posing a serious safety concern. 2- Severe Water Leak Interior Roof Area There is a significant water leak from the interior roof, specifically from the top center area near the rearview mirror, every time it rains. I’ve taken the vehicle to the dealer multiple times. They confirmed that all drain tubes are clear, all seals are functioning properly, and no water appears to be entering from the sliding moonroof. However, the issue persists. Water pours down like a waterfall through the vent (as shown in the attached photo), soaking the center console and creating an unsafe driving condition. I have also recorded videos showing the water intrusion. Living in Guam, where it rains frequently, this has become a major problem. 3- Malfunctioning Interior Ceiling Light The ceiling light on the driver's side (center dome light) turns on randomly and often remains on until manually switched off. The dealer has inspected this issue but reported no faults found. Despite this, the problem continues to occur intermittently. 4- Rear Camera Display Issue When shifting into reverse, the monitor occasionally turns completely blue, and the backup camera does not function. The blue screen remains until the vehicle is turned off and restarted. This happens sporadically and disrupts safe maneuvering.

Emergency escape issue Like many modern cars the aviator was designed with electric opening doors. Of the four doors, only the front driver side door has a manual override in case of emergency. That means if a major accident was to occur on that ONE door and disable the vehicle the other 3 doors do not have a way to exit. Why would the nhtsa allow a vehicle on a road that at a minimum doesn't have a override for left side and right side or more than one door?

The contact owns a 2022 Lincoln Aviator. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V455000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated while driving approximately 50 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact was unable to pull over to the side of the road. It was unknown whether a warning light was illuminated. The vehicle failed to restart and was towed to the residence. The dealer was contacted and confirmed that the part for the recall repair was not yet available. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

Reference my NHTSA complaint # 11681607 dtd 8/19/25 regarding the problem with Autosense wipers that I’ve had since I bought my Aviator 2.5 yrs ago. As I previously reported, problem was finally resolved in April when dealer replaced the Autosense sensor. I have come to learn that the plastic covering dealer found on the sensor (see attached pic) is actually a protective film for part shipment & should have been removed by the assembly plant prior to installing the sensor but was NOT. There are other owners that have this same ‘wipers gone wild’ condition with Autosense wiping in which the windshield does not clear enough for safe driving & you need to switch to manual wiper operation to clear the windshield. This plant assembly error should trigger a recall with all manufacturers that use this part, not just Lincoln.

My Aviator was parked with trunk open to load groceries from shopping cart. Must have stepped under bumper such that it triggered the kick sensor to close the tailgate. The problem is, it did NOT detect spouse’s body, did NOT stop the tailgate from closing & as a result, hit him on the head. He jolted out of the way & the tailgate continued to close all the way. This is serious safety issue!

Despite multiple backup camera recalls & fixes, the backup camera blurs visibility & engages the backup collision avoidance system when there’s a steady rain thereby preventing me from backing car up my DW & parking in garage. The vehicle repeatedly stops & engages the rear collision avoidance system so much so that I had to turn it off in settings to back my car in. Cleaning the backup camera lense did not improve this condition. It appears the system cannot differentiate between rain & an object.

The AUTOSENSE wiper function has been erratic & not working properly since my Aviator was a yr old (2022). None of the Autosense wiper stalk positions worked correctly to clear the windshield enough for safe visability. I had dealer check this problem 3 times in 2023 & 2024 & they indicated no problem was found & no codes appeared. After experiencing dangerous visability issues on a 4 hr trip in which I needed to keep the regular wiper on to see (because Autosense didn’t clear windshield enough to see on Hwy), I left vehicle at dealer & refused to pick it up until problem was corrected once & for all. Since car is under warranty they decided to replace the sensor & found it to be defective (yellowed). Since replacing the sensor Autosense now works. This leads me to believe these sensors are failing prematurely. I’m posting this in case others are experiencing a similar problem with Autosense wipe.

The contact owns a 2022 Lincoln Aviator. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle hesitated while depressing the accelerator pedal. There was no warning light illuminated.

Additionally, the contact received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 25V407000 (Structure), 25V393000 (Seats), and 25V455000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The dealer was notified of the recalls and the contact was informed that parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

Lincoln Aviators 2020-2024 using the Sync 3 Radio screen. Have a issue not switching to dimmed/night mode during night time driving. This is a major safety issue because when driving a night you have a super bright display inches from your eyes creating a blinding issue at night. This issue has been reported by many folks, a simple Google search will reveal this. Unless NHTSA steps if to doing something 10s of thousands Lincoln Aviators 2020-2024 are on the road with blinded drivers.

Please see the attached email conversations and service records with Lincoln Motor Company (manufacturer) and Kayser Lincoln (service center and dealer) regarding the issues with the display in this vehicle. I have had this vehicle into the service center 50 times in the past 2 years trying to get this display issue fixed - they have not fixed it. I have asked for a vehicle buy back - Lincoln has denied this request. I have filed or a Lemon Law Complaint - Lincoln has denied this request. This is only the first 10 attachments of the 33 attachments I have in evidence - but I can only upload 10.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The 2nd row seats have an electrical switch to slide and slightly fold the seat for entry to the 3rd row. This switch seems to get stuck and will randomly slide and tilt the seat forward while driving as well as while stationary. while driving, the seat can hit the back of the driver seat very hard and cause disorientation. The vehicle has not yet been reproduced or inspected by a dealer or other service center. the vehicle has not been inspected by manufacturer, police, insurance rep, or any other organization. There were no warnings or messages prior to failure, this car I purchased used and the symptom was presenter as soon as I drove off the lot.

When vehicle is put into park, you can hear the transmission slam into place as well as feel the car jolt. When vehicle is in park and moved to reverse, the car will delay and then throw into gear moving backwards causing a jolt and increased speed.

Vehicle had roof leak which resulted in visible water stains on roof liner, issue persists with now having rust stains on liner from the same area the roof leak was occurring.

While driving down GA 140 near Waleska, GA, I hit a bump in the highway and the hood popped open. It stopped at first catch and I was able to stop before hood came all the way up. Was able to open hood completely and relatch successfully. No further incident's but it was very stressful to get the vehicle stopped and correct the problem before the hood opened beyond the first latch and would have come up and stopped my view of the highway which had a lot of traffic. This is only incident I have had with hood popping open by itself just by hitting a bump in the road.

The display on our 2022 Lincoln Aviator failed, again. It had been repaired by the dealer with a new rear camera. It failed to show the backup view, again, and also that display shows the controls for defrost and other safety features. It was a rainy day, so, we were without a display screen showing the backup camera AND could not turn on our defroster as it is located on that dark screen, also. Our windows fogged due to no defroster, and, we had no back up camera view to show traffic behind us. We called the dealer and, they said wait for a recall, as one on the software is in the making right now. There was no warning that this would happen. after driving the vehicle and parking and restarting it, the display lit up again.

When starting the car at night, the center display will run at full daytime brightness until the driver manually presses one of the up/down display/interior brightness control buttons. Once pressed, the system "realizes" that it's night time and adjusts accordingly. Having the display at full brightness at night is a safety hazard for drivers unaware that you can use the brightness control buttons as a workaround. My local dealership says this is "normal" behavior.

I had several instances and two minor collisions now where the back up camera glitches as well as the warning alert. I’ve come close to hitting object only to stop just in time, however in these two collisions I was I situations where I needed to maneuver faster and needed accurate guidance. I dont recall the screen ever showing up until after the collisions and the louder long warning tone went off right at or just after impact. Both times have cause damage to my car. I’ve never had issues with minor self involved car accidents. My driving record is clean. Reading about the back up camera recalls for the 20 and 21 models sound like what is happening with my car but also with the alert system. There are glitches keeping this safety feature from meeting much needed driving assurance.
