Had one headlight issue for months that I knew about. Told BCM issue but the BCM for this vehicle has been discontinued. Was pulled over by the police only to be told the taillights are out. Took it back in and was told electrical issue that the dealer needed to address. Already knew it was the same issue, the BCM. Unfortunately, I have to get rid of this car, and it is still being sold. This car should be labeled a lemon as you will not pass an inspection once this happens and the part needed is no longer available, or repairable.

Our car is in excellent running and cosmetic condition. It has been well maintained and garaged and never in an accident. Recently my wife was driving and was getting angry gestures, honking, and yells from other cars. She discovered that her breaklights and blinkers were not functioning. It is an intermittent problem. It took the ford dealer multiple days to be able to recreate the problem. They state that the BCM needs to be replaced, but that it is a discontinued part that they cannot fix. It was discontinued in...

2016. They also said they have at least one other car at their dealership with the same issue. I don't understand how they can just wash their hands of a safety issue for a car that is less than 7 years old.
Driver side Headlight goes on and off. Signal light not working. Dealership said new BCM is needed and unfortunately they have been discontinued/obsolete for this vehicle
Left headlight goes on and off. Dealer can't find the problem. Has offered different very expensive options to see if it would work. One part that was told may be needed is the body control module which Lincoln and Ford has discontinued. Told they can try replacing the entire assembly but would not guarantee a fix. This repair is costly. Was then told I may need to purchase a new car instead of the dealer trying to resolve the problem. Car will not pass inspection if this is not fixed.
Drivers side headlight intermittently goes on and off. Signal light does not work when this happens. Have been told that headlight control module would need to be replaced, but Lincoln and Ford no longer has the part.

Tl* the contact leased a 2019 lincoln mkc. The contact stated the trunk failed to open. The contact stated that the interior lights were illuminated. The liftgate ajar message was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to premier lincoln (5001 glenwood rd, brooklyn, ny 11234, (888) 643-4603) and the contact was informed that the dealer would not service a leased vehcile not purchased or leased from the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the issues. An appointment was scheduled with an unknown authorized dealer. The failure mileage was unknown.
Passenger's side headlamp became inoperative (burned out). Upon investigation at the lincoln dealership they noticed the bulb was not fully seated. Closer inspection revealed that one of the ears that spring clip locks to was missing from the assembly. There was no explanation of how the spring clip locks were missing. Concern is in assembly of this vehicles this piece was never added. One could loose a headlight or both at any time and in dark circumstances could be a safety concern to those on the road potentially causing an accident.
The headlights on dim and bright are cut off from the top down by the trim around the fenders. When you go down an incline all the light is blocked and it is very hard to see. If focuses all the light right down upon the road in front of you. Also when the lights are on bright is almost as bad. No vision for very far out.
