My 2019 Lincoln Continental has been displaying an adaptive steering failure message for over 8 months now. I have taken the vehicle to multiple dealership and they just tell me the part is on back order. I have contracted the Lincoln office 888-214-2155 three times now 9/2/24, 10/10/24, 10/30/24, and just get the same answer. Someone will call me back. I never get a call back. My case # with Lincoln is [XXX]. The owners manual says that it is not safe to drive the vehicle with this issue however the dealer ship tell me it's ok. What can I do to escalate this??

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2019 Lincoln Continental verdict →
