2022 Lincoln Aviator Body & Structure Problems

REF C PILLAR RECALL & NHTSA Complaint # 11713372 by another owner on 11/18/25. NHTSA NEEDS TO ISSUE RECALL FOR A PILLARS. Have had wind noise issue on front passenger side since I bought car. Dealer looked at numerous times in 3 yrs & always stated ‘unable to recreate condition’ (likely due to not testing on Hwy at 65mph which is when this noise can be heard). Took car in for C Pillar recall fall 2025. Dealer said they weren’t loose so didn’t replace them. Left w/car 12/22/25 & immed heard wind noise on Hwy. Returned to service & this time, DEALER INSPECTED A PILLARS & FOUND RIGHT SIDE WAS LOOSE so replaced both. Tried to charge me (was 2 wks out of warranty) but given multiple attempted repairs during warranty & my open case w/CHQ they split repair cost. Thankfully A pillars didn’t break loose & injure human or another driver in past 3 yrs. Dealer told me Ford had A pillar recall but Lincoln’s weren’t included in it. There appears to be a pervasive issue with failure of the adhesive used for many parts by the assembly plant.

Rear door trim came loose and fell off while driving. Had the service department at the local dealership look at the missing trim on the rear of the car and they noticed multiple of the plastic clips holding the trim on the rear were broken and remained in the area where the trim was attached.

The contact owns a 2022 Lincoln Aviator. The contact stated that while driving at 30 MPH, the trim pieces on the liftgate partially detached. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic to be diagnosed; however, the vehicle received an unknown recall repair and was provided an estimate for the repair. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,333.

While driving down GA 140 near Waleska, GA, I hit a bump in the highway and the hood popped open. It stopped at first catch and I was able to stop before hood came all the way up. Was able to open hood completely and relatch successfully. No further incident's but it was very stressful to get the vehicle stopped and correct the problem before the hood opened beyond the first latch and would have come up and stopped my view of the highway which had a lot of traffic. This is only incident I have had with hood popping open by itself just by hitting a bump in the road.

The contact owns a 2022 Lincoln Aviator. The contact stated that there was an unusual sound of water running from the roof of the vehicle. The contact stated that the sound was similar gushing water. The contact also stated that when the air condition was turned on, there was a moldy odor coming through the vents. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The failure was diagnosed with an engineering error during manufacturing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

Vehicle had roof leak which resulted in visible water stains on roof liner, issue persists with now having rust stains on liner from the same area the roof leak was occurring.
