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.

28 march 2023, I went out to go to medical appointment. The car was locked and would not open.Opened using skeleton key, there was no voltage. I connected a battery charger and it didn-??t even make a difference left it connected for over an hour. It wouldn-??t even show any charge. 3 hrs later removed all connections to car.2 hours later my son got in and hit the Start button and it started right up. This type of malfunction creates an unsafe condition if occurring while driving. Need a dependable vehicle. Cannot accept this type condition. Turned in to car dealership.

Electrical System. Yes. While driving in traffic both on surface streets and the freeway the power in my vehicle stopped. The vehicle went from Drive to Park on its own. The battery light came on. The Start/Stop light went from solid green to blinking green. Vehicles around me had to stop suddenly to avoid a collision and the wait until I could restart the vehicle. This has happened a few times. No. No.

Prior issue 11497970 reported on 12/19/2022. Car stopped without warning in traffic on November 30 and would not start or switch gears to neutral. Towed to Hines Park Lincoln and spent 16 days in the repair shop. It was returned to me on December 15. On December 20, I started the car to drive it for a first test drive around the block. It traveled 2 houses and stopped. After several tries, I got it started and made it to the front of my driveway (blocking the entrance). The car was totally dead. The first tow truck driver could not get it on the flatbed as the wheels were locked. The second truck had rollers to move the car onto the flatbed. My wife will not ride in the car as she does not feel safe. Obviously, if the car stops suddenly on a busy highway or expressway, or any road, it will likely end up in a rearend collision of at least 2 cars. It has a dangerous, safety issue. We don't want the car anymore. Can you do anything to help us?
