If the rear trunk gate is up and the vehicle is running the passenger compartment will fill with carbon monoxide very quickly. This usually will happen if loading luggage or items in the back of the vehicle while the engine runs. Certainly a risk if kids are left in the passenger compartment while the truck is being loaded when the engine is running.
The rear trunk latch disconnects from the car during any instance and projects the trunk open in a rapid manner. This issue occurred 3 times. The first time the vehicle was pulling into my garage and the trunk opened without prompting. The trunk smashed against the top of the garage and the facade of my home. Lincoln reviewed the electrical system and determined the event occurred without my involvement and replaced the latch. They did not call it a recall issue but did agree that they have seen it occur more than a few times. Subsequently, the issue occurred again. I was pulling into an indoor garage at a mall, and the trunk opened voluntarily once again. This time no damage occurred as I pulled to the side and remedied the situation. The third occurrence happened a few days ago as I dropped my 10 year old off at home. The trunk once again voluntarily opened. Each time i could've been driving at a faster speed and each time these incidences occurred I had parts of my family in the vehicle. There were never any warning lamps and the manufacturer has gone silent with what the issue is. I am concerned that this can occur at a higher rate of speed with all of my children in the car.

RESTRAINTS INDICATOR LAMP WARNING LIGHT ON EVERY TIME PASSENGER GETS IN AND BUCKLED UP. WHILE IN MOTION IT WILL TURN ON! DEALER COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT.
SEATBELT IS NOT RECOILING PROPERLY. DEALERSHIP REPLACED IT, NEW ONE IS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. SAT IN OTHER BLACK LABEL NAVIGATORS AND THEY ALSO HAD THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN USING THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE BRAKES ARE MAKING AN ODD NOISE (IT MAKES THE SAME TYPE OF SOUND YOU HEAR WHEN GETTING UP FROM A LEATHER COUCH) WINDOW WASHERS HAVE FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE MULTIPLE VIDEO'S OF THAT DRIVER SEATS ARE MAKING A LOT OF NOISE (ALMOST LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE), DEALERSHIP HAD TO FIX IT TWICE NOW. KEEP IN MIND THIS VEHICLE IS BRAND NEW, THEIR TOP OF THE LINE MODEL AND HAD LESS THEN 10K MILES WHEN THESE ISSUES STARTED. I WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING TO MEET WITH SOMEONE IN PERSON TO SHOW THEM ALL THE ISSUES.
