What 2022 Lincoln Aviator owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
THIS REQUIRES A RECALL ASAP. Dealers are well aware of this problem as is Lincoln CHQ but Lincoln refuses to address it. Rear camera cannot differentiate between steady rain & an object which then causes car to engage the collision avoidance system which then prevents ability to drive in reverse gear. There have been many rearview camera recalls on this car & each has made things worse. The ONLY way I can drive car in reverse (in rain) is to TURN OFF collision avoidance system (insane). Having to turn off this safety feature when it’s needed the most (in rain) is VERY dangerous. I tapped a person backing out of a parking spot. He was walking in blind spot, couldn’t see him on rearview camera, parking sensor alerts failed, collision avoidance was off because I can’t drive in reverse in rain. Thank God he wasn’t injured. BEGGING the federal safety agency TO FORCE A RECALL BEFORE A HUMAN GETS RUN OVER.
Despite multiple backup camera recalls & fixes, the backup camera blurs visibility & engages the backup collision avoidance system when there’s a steady rain thereby preventing me from backing car up my DW & parking in garage. The vehicle repeatedly stops & engages the rear collision avoidance system so much so that I had to turn it off in settings to back my car in. Cleaning the backup camera lense did not improve this condition. It appears the system cannot differentiate between rain & an object.

The contact owns a 2022 Lincoln Aviator. The contact stated that after switching to the reverse position, the backup camera image failed to display, and while driving approximately five MPH in reverse the vehicle crashed into the front end of a second vehicle.

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.
I had several instances and two minor collisions now where the back up camera glitches as well as the warning alert. I’ve come close to hitting object only to stop just in time, however in these two collisions I was I situations where I needed to maneuver faster and needed accurate guidance. I dont recall the screen ever showing up until after the collisions and the louder long warning tone went off right at or just after impact. Both times have cause damage to my car. I’ve never had issues with minor self involved car accidents. My driving record is clean. Reading about the back up camera recalls for the 20 and 21 models sound like what is happening with my car but also with the alert system. There are glitches keeping this safety feature from meeting much needed driving assurance.
The vehicle back up camera and computer screen went totally dark and would not come back on, so that when I backed out of the garage, I could not see on the rear side of the vehicle, as to any pedestrians walking across my driveway , beside nor behind my vehicle. I drove the vehicle back into the garage and ran my errand in our other car. When I came back from the errand, I tried to get the screen up again, by starting the car, and the HOME page came on the screen, and when I put the vehicle in reverse, it once again, showed the rear view of the driveway and cross way, to see that there was no pedestrian behind me; putting any neighbor child who ran across my drive while the garage walls blocked them from my view, in danger. After that one instance, it hasn't done it since. Today, while in shop for routine maintenance, I mentioned it to the Service Advisor. He said "There's a recall out on that, " I said ,"will you fix it today while I'm here?" He said , "yes'. At home, upon reviewing paperwork ,about what was done, no mention of fixing the recall, nor seeing why the camera screen went dark, was made. So, I called the Dealer and was told "There is no outstanding recall on your vehicle" They have told me I may make an appointment to leave my car at least a day for them to diagnose the problem. There was no warning , before the backup screen on my dash went totally dark. This was one time and, on May 27, 2022. Our vehicle barely has 1000 miles on it. We bought it new in January, 2022. Since the Dealership did not write down my complaint, I decided to give you a written statement.
