The roof of my Lincoln 2022 roof leaks water above the driver seat during rain, while driving, or when the car is parked. I checked the sunroof, but there is no sign of a water leak from around the seal. It looks like the water is entering the roof panel either from the front windshield glass or elsewhere. The water drips on the driver seat and the steering wheel and has caused discoloration to the driver seat. This water leak distracted me while driving due to sudden water leak, it is not safe as it could cause accident.

The screen in which my backup camera appears on seems to not be connected to my vehicle. This screen is also the primary method for controlling AC, radio, parking/camera, and general settings. Initially it was black and did not turn on. After doing some type of “reset” that was suggested during the Lincoln chat, it came on; however, it looks like it was updated with a Ford update, is blue, and looks completely different. It also does not sync to my vehicle and backup camera still does not work. I also have to manually turn radio off because the screen will literally stay on and run the battery. I am simply scared to drive my new vehicle! Service can not get me in until next week which makes me nervous!

This luxury car has seat three seat memory positions: When you press the button the seat should go back to the computer-stored position (For the seat and steering wheel). The computer-stored position does not remember the position resulting in one getting jammed against the steering wheel and jamming ones feet into the peddles. While the seat memory recall feature is intended to be disabled unless stopped, the feature can be activated when moving slowly, like when approaching a stop at a stop sign or the garage door. The combination of the defect in the computer-stored position and being able to activate the feature while moving slowly has almost led to me not being able to press the brake or jam the gas pedal. This problem also existed in the 2020 model Corsair and I presume the 2021 model Corsair. The central fix should be Lincoln fixes the seat (steering wheel too) memory recall feature.
