Recent 2023 Lincoln Corsair complaints

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Unknown or Other · reported Nov 9, 2026
On November 6, 2026, as I was getting out of the driver's seat and reaching out to hug a friend, my arm was cut by the bottom corner of the glass panel on the driver's door where the keypad is located. The glass has an exposed sharp edge at a spot where occupants naturally touch or brush against the door when entering and exiting. The vehicle was parked and I was using it normally; there was no crash. I believe this is a design defect. The sharp, exposed glass edge is in a high-contact area and poses a laceration risk to drivers. I have photos of my injury and of the door showing the glass…

On May 10 a lighted wrench appeared on the instrument panel. The car felt as if I was loosing power. May 12 I got in the car, the wrench and check engine lights were both on. Called the dealer service department. They told me the car is not safe to drive as it cannot accelerator and will go into "limp mode". After having it towed to the Lincoln dealership, I was told the turbo in the engine failed. As of July 6, there is not a part available for this repair. Today I was told there are only 3 in the entire nation and they are all accounted for.
