Your vehicle may shut down without further warning." "What Is Happening? The powertrain control system has detected a fault in the high voltage battery charging system. What Should I Do?

A Powertrain or All Wheel Drive (AWD)/Four Wheel Drive (4WD) fault has been detected, contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible. These alerts are extremely concerning, as they indicate a potential safety risk and the possibility of sudden vehicle shutdown While i was on the highway driving. This situation has caused significant stress and inconvenience, as I am now uncertain whether the vehicle is safe to drive or be plug up in my garage. I expect this matter to be taken seriously for my safety. Nick Mayers on Mayfield rd, Ohio told me to bring it in ASAP.

Nick Mayers will be fixing it within a week.Dealer has to order the part. I have a loaner until, they fix my car.

I am filing this complaint regarding a safety-related windshield defect on my 2025 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring. My vehicle is included in Lincoln/Ford recall 25C60 (the federal safety agency 25V730), which involves windshields manufactured with air bubbles in the laminate layer that can impair visibility and violate FMVSS 205 – Glazing Materials. Although my windshield does not show the “large air bubbles” described in the recall, it has a different but significant defect: visible distortion when sunlight hits the glass. This distortion creates a warped, uneven visual field that interferes with my ability to see clearly through the windshield during normal daytime driving and is a distraction. The problem is consistent and repeatable under direct sunlight. The dealership inspected the vehicle but refused to replace the windshield because it does not match the exact bubble-related condition described in the recall. However, FMVSS 205 prohibits any glazing defect that impairs driver visibility, not only bubbles. The distortion I am experiencing clearly affects visibility and therefore presents a safety concern under the same federal standard cited in the recall. Based on the recall description and the nature of my defect, it appears possible that my windshield was produced using the same manufacturing process or materials that led to the recalled windshields. My issue may represent an additional manifestation of the same underlying defect. I am requesting that the federal safety agency review this issue as a potential related safety defect and consider whether the recall population should be expanded to include windshields exhibiting distortion rather than only those with visible bubbles. I can provide photos or video demonstrating the distortion in sunlight.

The audible on the turn signal is very quiet and hard to hear. The dealership inspected this and confirmed it was very low. The dealership compared it against another Corsair and noted that was also low. I checked with another user of the same 20025 Corsiar. She had the same problem. I feel that this low audible signal will cause accidents. This occurred since I first leased the car.
