Hello and thank you for your reply. Actually what I am referring to when you are within 5 feet of the car with your keys, all the external lights come from the back of the car to the front. The headlights actually dance a bit again as I am approaching the locked car.
An update on my 2025 Aviator "Welcome/Embrace" problem. As of June 10, 2025 (8 days ago) the dealership still has my car with no foreseeable fix. The Embrace function worked successfully prior to the Lincoln requested Software Update. Not sure why they cant do a software restore back to the older version that was working. I am driving a 2022 loaner car from Lincoln that has a working Embrace function. Why is it so difficult to fix a problem that works for all other vehicles and once worked for the 2025 Aviator that I only had for 4 months. Please someone tell me something. Fyi I only have the aviator because I had to do a buyback on a 2024 Nautilus as it completely fit the Lemon Law. I dont want to have to go through that again....PS.. I have heard absolutely nothing from Lincoln regarding this situation.
I appreciate your response, but my car is and has been at the dealership since June 10th, (a little over a week) for a problem that was created when they ran the software upgrade they requested us to do. The same dealership that ran the software upgrade that stopped the Embrace from working. My lights work once the car is turned on, but not before as they once did and should be doing now. Thanks again for your reply.
When I got my 2025 Aviator, the Embrace lighting didn't work. Apparently, there were many other 2025 models in the same situation. After several attempted fixes, they were finally able to get the Embrace feature working. My Aviator completed an over-the-air software update a few days ago and everything is still functioning.
Hi, as of July 5, 2025, my car is still at the dealership. They have finally reached out to us the last week of June, but only to let us know that the difference fixes they had tried have all failed. So we have not had our car now for 1 month today for what I assumed would be a quick fix since they should be just repairing what was a software upgrade glitch. I agree that the problem is that they are having mechanical and electrical technicians trying to troubleshoot and fix software programming problems. Thanks for your replies.
Welcome to the Forum, Steve.
I had taken it to a dealer for a unrelated issue. The ticket indicated they updated bcm and abs modules and cleared the codes. codes. The welcome lights have not worked since that service. I did mention the Embrace welcome light issue in a separate shop visit to replace a defective chrome trim piece. They indicated they were not able to resolve it but I should book a appointment specifically for this issue. The dealer a a little over an hour away and I haven't been able to return.Welcome to the Forum, Steve.
Did you take it to the dealer for the update or was it done over the air? Have you spoken to the dealership about the issue?
