Transmission is a deal breaker

I seldom post reviews but feel compelled. If you are considering this car, pay attention to the comments here and elsewhere about the transmission on the 2.0L turbo. I have owned an Acura, Lexus and 2 BMWs and this engine is an engineering failure. It is fine at highway speed but most people use their cars for commuting or driving in their community. At lower speeds it is like riding on a bucking horse, particularly when downshifting. It will rock back and forth at idle. I have tried all combinations of driving mode and fuel grade and there is no difference. The car does have some luxury but also head scratchers like cheap plastic and lack of standard features. It is built on the Ford Edge platform, would suggest the Edge is a superior vehicle for much less. Or you could get the 6 cyl for another $10K.

This is actually the 2.7 GTDI model, but there was no choice to select this model within this venue. Within a few miles of new the transmission slipped a great deal when trying to shift between 3rd and 4th gears. Dealer found the problem to be in the transmission control software and fixed the problem. However, at about 8,000 mile it reoccurred, but not as bad as before. The transmission jerked and made a loud noise when shifted into drive or reverse. No noticeable pattern to the problem. Same fix as before the transmission control software was updated and it fixed the problem. There is a flaw in the paint that the dealer has looked over several times and even sent picture to Lincoln. This has been going on over 3 years now and still no response from either. At about 3 years there have been electronic issue that come and go. The vehicle is for the most part a pleasure to drive, but for the price I'm just not sure if I would purchase another. The vehicle currently has 34,000 miles. The vehicle needed new tires at 25,000 miles. Gas mileage overall is 18.6 mpg. Lincoln brags that they will give you a loaner when your car goes in for service. Not so with the dealer that services this vehicle. The dealer also promised 4 oil changes as part of the purchase deal. After two changes the dealership was sold and the new dealer will not honor the last two oil changes. Couple of more things.... when you drive it in the rain there is a loud water running sound in the roof. Most like the drain. It can get on your nerves. At night there is a red light strip just above the back up camera that makes it hard to use the camera and even the mirrors.

Falling apart

The interior of a luxury brand should not fall apart days into it...yet here I am. 6+ times in to fix popped off panels, pillars falling off, rattling so loud the stereo won't drown it out (from panels not staying on), and now the carpet is pulling away. Add to this the fade spots on the black leather interior and you got a fabulous 2019 Lincoln Nautilus. I don't even care that the transmission shift feels like a clown car at times. :(

I’m disgusted with this vehicle! Cheap interior parts. Seat system doesn’t work. Screen system just stopped working. Now I got a power train failure alert Lincoln needs to buy this piece of trash back now!
