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.

After dealer did 3 software updates for recalls I experienced 2 safety issues: 1) Wiper blades now do not recline to the proper position. Right blade goes down past windshield & hits the plastic piece making an extremely loud whack. Left blade does not lower to proper position & obstructs the lower view of windshield & the washer on left blade no longer works. 2) More concerning is while driving in reverse (in rain & dark), the car came to a complete & sudden halt practically giving me whiplash & making an extremely loud crash sound. Car came to such a hard & sudden stop I thought I had hit a wall even though there was 1) No warning light displayed or sound to indicate an obstruction or pending crash 2) Nothing displayed on rear camera. Got out to see what I hit & why car stopped but found nothing wrong. Proceeded to continue backing up & it happened again. The car went about 3-?? more then same thing happened. Then another 3-?? it happened a 3rd time. It jolted my neck 3 times leaving me in pain. This incident was extremely frightening given I-??m a handicapped driver & could have been stranded somewhere alone unable to drive the car at all. I suspect these 2 safety issues are related to Lincoln-??s recall remedy & software updates as nothing else was done on my vehicle during my recent service other than replacing the front grill emblem.

I have had multiple CHECK ENGINE LIGHT issues where the description is "MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP - REGULATORY" and the detailed description is a problem with THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM (EVAP). My cell phone app says fuel vapors are being detected. Three separate times, this check engine light has come on. Three separate times I've brought the vehicle to the dealership. My car only has about 2577 miles on it. It came back from the dealer on Monday -- and today, Tuesday, the check engine light is back on for the 4th time.
