2017 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL — Complaint #1993592
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about STRUCTURE:BODY:TRUNK LID filed May 22, 2024
NHTSA complaint #1993592 (ODI reference 11590210) concerns a 2017 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL and was filed on May 22, 2024. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 1, 2023. The vehicle had 25,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Michigan based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as structure:body:trunk lid, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same LINCOLN CONTINENTAL cohort independently describe similar structure:body:trunk lid failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2017 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
