About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
At 10,740 miles, we replaced two tires already due to bulges in the tire sidewall. Lincoln is not addressing this serious defect of low tire pressure and air leaks in the tires. This is an elevated safety risk as vehicle becomes unstable and hard to control at low air pressure. A new car should not have this problem, but several similar complaints were noted online. Please investigate this safety hazard as Michelin says it is not their problem and Lincoln blames the customer hitting potholes which we don't even recall happening. A video online illustrates how tire sidewall bulges can occur easily with under inflated tires if the car runs over a curb or hits a pothole. We are senior citizens, 72 and 67, and drive carefully, typically below the speed limit. We have never had this experience with any cars during our lifetime. Please perform an investigation to halt this serious defect that the manufacturer will not acknowledge. Lives are in danger due to difficulty in control and an unstable vehicle with under inflated tires. A blowout could be fatal.
