There was a collision of the vehicle with the garage cabinets (full length and attached to the wall)as we pulled into the garage The vehicles forward collision warning did not alert us and the beeps to lets us know we were close did not sound. The automatic emergency braking also did not stop the car from hitting the cabinets in front of us. Notices that this system had issues came as far back as novemember 2025 and officially in march 2026. I had my car serviced and requested all updates after both those times and they said it was safe to drive fully. Picture. included. The car went working and the the manufacturer and the dealer fail us leading to an accident

Brakes failed while driving. I could not stop. Thank goodness I didn’t run anyone over. First time it happened I had it towed to the dealership- they said they fixed the problem. These are the warnings I got during the loss of my brakes the 2nd time: Antilock Brake Fault Yesterday at 8:22 PM Anti-lock Brake System Fault Yesterday at 8:22 PM Pre-Collision Assist Not Available Yesterday at 8:22 PM Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power Yesterday at 8:22 PM Electronic Parking Brake Yesterday at 8:22 PM Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced. There was no warning that this would happen. Second time was very terrifying as I was on the beltway.

2025 Lincoln Navigator L Black Label. Vehicle has experienced an intermittent recurring condition involving unintended braking/deceleration and inability to accelerate normally. During an occurrence, the vehicle can begin slowing/braking without the driver commanding it and then may not accelerate normally or travel much above approximately 30 mph despite accelerator input. There has also been abnormal cruise-control behavior associated with an occurrence. The condition has been experienced by three different drivers. During the most recent occurrence, the unexpected deceleration created a risk of being struck from behind. The vehicle was previously presented to an authorized Lincoln dealership for a documented braking concern beginning in December 2025. The dealership subsequently replaced and programmed the electronic brake booster. The braking/deceleration condition has since recurred. The vehicle is currently at an authorized Lincoln dealership. The dealership reports that no current diagnostic trouble codes are present and that it has been unable to duplicate the condition during limited testing. The dealership and Lincoln have recommended that I participate in a test drive to attempt to reproduce the condition. Because the reported malfunction involves unexpected braking/deceleration and loss of normal acceleration, I do not feel safe being inside the vehicle while it is driven for the purpose of intentionally attempting to reproduce the event. The vehicle remains with the dealership while the condition is being investigated.

Was operating the vehicle around a slight bend at about 45mph. The brakes and steering then stopped working and was non responsive. The vehicle was sliding off the road toward a parked dump truck. After about 2 or 3 seconds the steering and brakes started working again and I regained control of the vehicle. I then fishtailed across 2 lanes of traffic and managed to keep the vehicle straight. Immediately after a warning popped on the dash stating "Drive control fault service required." Upon calling roadside and bringing the vehicle to the service center the following was identified. The Vehicle Dynamics Control Module (VDM) failed. This caused the vehicle to detect a rollover, which means the vehicle took control of the steering and brakes according to the service manager and would not allow the driver to intervene. This module was replaced. A cause for the module failure could not be found. The module was not allowed to be inspected and was sent to Lincoln corporate. The service tech was not allowed to open the module and identify the reason for failure. The risk for this part failing means that steering and braking are non operational. In my situation this was potentially a lethal accident with myself and family in the car. To slide off the road and hit a parked dump truck surely could have been life ending for myself and others. Vehicle diagnosed for DTC C1112:92 in the VDM The problem was not able to be reproduced. A cause of the problem has not been identified and is not known. The service center sounded concerned that they could not find the reason for failure and could not confirm it wont happen again. The vehicle was only inspected by the service center. There were no prior symptoms or warning lights or messages prior to the module failure.

On Tuesday, May 5 2026 upon entering the vehicle, my wife closed the drivers door at which time the rear windshield exploded. The vehicle is scheduled for an appointment on Monday, May 11, 2026 at Porterville Ford for inspection. Approximately 50% of the glass came out, both inside and outside the vehicle. If my children were there, they would have been covered in broken tiny pieces of glass. This vehicle has just over 6,000 miles since new and has never had any damage to the glass. I have researched online and there are many other instances where this has happened, often siting incorrect or too tight of installations where the pressure from closing a door shatters the tempered glass.
