2022 LINCOLN CORSAIR PHEV

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:PROPULSION SYSTEM:TRACTION BATTERY

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2020-2024 Ford Escape and 2021-2024 Lincoln Corsair plug-in hybrid vehicles. A manufacturing defect in one or more of the high voltage battery cells may result in an internal short circuit and battery failure.

Our 2022 Corsair Hybrid has been at Haldeman Ford in Kutztown, PA since October 29th. We will not drive it to our house because it is unsafe at any speed. The engine in this car has suddenly failed at least seven or eight times while being driven. At least three of these failures occurred when being driven by different Haldeman Ford technicians. They saw nothing that would explain the engine’s sudden catastrophic failure. The technicians cannot find out what is wrong with the vehicle and agree that the vehicle is dangerous to drive. Prior recall for engine failure stated that the car was not to be driven but also not to be plugged in because there was risk of fire. That recall is proof that the car was a lemon from the day it left the factory. It has been gently driven and has less than 16,000 miles. If the Corsair were to be said to be “repaired” at this point it would then require us to then act as crash test dummies with no guarantee that the engine would not stop

I was driving to work via the [XXX] in California when at approximately 6:40am I felt a jerking motion in my 2022 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring (PHEv) and then immediately began receiving various warning lights and chimes indicating an issue. The vehicle was losing power and I was safely able to exit the freeway and pull to the side of the road. There were numerous warning indicators activated, including Service Engine Soon, Hill Start Assist failure, Pre-Collision Assist failure, EV Battery not available, and others. I exited the vehicle to ensure that there was not any visible physical damage, and did not find anything. I checked the Owners Manual for the warnings and it indicated that if the vehicle was able to be driven, it could but with caution. I proceeded to drive to work, approximately 4.7 miles away. The vehicle could not be driven over 35 MPH without violently shaking, along with a mechanical grinding noise. Drive Control was also not active and the vehicle felt like it had

Electrical connector and wiring harness melted due to close proximity to the right rear exhaust pipe. Experiencing intermittent parking brake fault messages that results in a check engine light, when climbing a grade longer then 1 mile long. Suspect extra heat produced from engine load had damaged some of the internal wires of the connector. This first occurred with 2000 miles on the odometer, 2 months old. Lincoln started producing these GT model Corsairs with a heat shield missing (that was part of 2021 and some 2022 models) that probably would have protected this wiring harness. Not sure what circuits are running through this connector, but their are a lot of wires in it. The connector is melted enough that it probably cannot be unplugged anymore. There is melted plastic residue on the exhaust pipe from the connector. Dealer has confirmed the melted connecter and zip tied the connector further away from the exhaust pipe as a temporary fix till they can investigate further.
