Won't start

2018 Lincoln Continental Premiere 4dr Sedan AWD (3.7L 6cyl 6A)
45 of 57 people found this review helpful
Car was delivered (new-97 miles) 12/29/18. 1/7/19 - wouldn't start, delivered with defective battery cell, replaced. 1/27/19 - wouldn't start; "system shut down to protect battery". 1/31-wouldn't start again in shop. Had it since then, 2/13, told today that "Continentals have to be run less than every 3 days, as modules talk to one another, draining battery". I say: BS. Has anyone else had this problem???

2018 Lincoln Continental Black Label 4dr Sedan AWD (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 6A)

I have a 2018 black label Continental which I thoroughly enjoy. Features like e-latch handles and 30 way seats are not found in German sport sedans . I like the comfortable ride , quiet cabin and heads up display. Car has been trouble free and the concierge service is great.

Comfortable, not quiet!

2019 Lincoln Continental Reserve 4dr Sedan AWD (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
11 of 14 people found this review helpful
A comfortable and high tech car, but in no way smooth or quiet riding! My F150 rides smoother and more quiet, which was a huge disappointment! Love the high tech, but fell short in some areas, such as lack of audible alert in blind-spot warning. Another pet peeve is the no side view mirrors tilt down availability. Using the parking monitors are not exactly accurate! A sharp looking vehicle with an excellent interior, but some areas fall short with plastic and flimsy trim. This vehicle also requires daily driving of 30 minutes or more in order to maintain proper battery amperage, otherwise, many functions will shut down to preserve battery. Approach lights, door locks, remote start, will be inoperative due to lack of usage, and I use the vehicle as much as 5 times a week with 10-20 minutes if driving each day, but apparently not enough! The idea of preserving the battery is a great idea, but when it shuts down convenience, it becomes a huge inconvenience!!

Tires don't last

2018 Lincoln Continental Reserve 4dr Sedan AWD (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 6A)

I have owned a brand new 2017 Lincoln Continental Reserve and 2018 Lincoln Continental Reserve. They are good looking vehicles and fun to drive. However, you will only get 25K miles on the tires. My alignment is perfect but the inside of all tires are gone. I thought it was maybe bad tires to then have the exact same experience with the 2018. Then, after spending $2500 on new tires, I got only 25k more. I was told by service that the engine is too heavy. What, to heavy? If I knew this, I would have not bought the second one. I also keep having a low engine oil pressure warning. When I take it in for service, they say they fix it but I happens every 3 months. It is clearly electronic because all you do is turn the car off and back on and it is fine again. They can't figure it out and I have given up on it. It sucks to pull over on the interstate to turn it off. When the warning comes on, you totally lose power if you hit the gas. So, hard to understand how just turning the car off fixes it but I am done with the dealership telling me that I need to change my oil. It has happened 4 days after oil was changed. It has now happened about 10 times and took it in 3 times. The 2017 has the rear seat package. It is a nice package. Looks real sharp. You would think it would come with a DVD player for the money. Also, the 2017 battery fried at 28K miles because the alternator was hooked up backwards, they tell me. The 2018 battery fried at 45K miles. Luckily it was still under warranty. I have owned tons of vehicles. For the money, the Continental seems to have to many problems. My favorite car has been Jaguar XJL. I have had plenty of SUVs as well. The navigator has been the best with the 3rd row having a ton of leg room.

Luxury and ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS GALORE
No longer Lincoln loyal, 08/14/2022
2019 Lincoln Continental Reserve 4dr Sedan AWD (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 6A)

Maybe I am blindly loyal or I just don't learn, but I have had three Lincolns and everyone has had electrical problems. My first two were MKZs so I thought if I got a Continental, I could avoid them. I was wrong! The latest incident, the engine would shut off while driving and the air conditioner had a mind of its own, put it in the shop for two months waiting for a part. I sold the car since it was spending more time in the shop than in my garage. I did give the car two stars because it was outfitted very nicely. I will never buy a Lincoln again.
