What are your likes and dislikes concerning the Lincoln Corsair?

[JB IN AZ]

What I've learned about this car after 2.5 years of owning it is that the dealer generally turns a deaf ear to non-life-threatening complaints. Overall, it's been a decent car, but if you gripe about something smallish in their eyes, they generally point the finger back at you. They don't seem interested in hearing anything negative about it, unless it's to resolve a recall. The solution is you just live with it until trade in time, unless it's something major that the manufacturer identified as something that may kill you.

Not sure I agree, but it may depend on the dealer. When I commented about the rocking seat in my '21, they found the TSB and resolved the issue. My '22 also had the same issue. I am surprised they didn't address it in production, but it WAS during a very bad time due to covid, etc. However, my '22 has the more complicated seats (24 way, massaging) so I will have to address the squeaking sounds with the dealer next time I have it in...likely soon for its first oil change.

Thanks for the heads up about the TSB. I looked it up and it is only a matter of taking two pieces of rubber hose and a hose clamp to lock the seat in place. Kind of hilarious and sooo ford.

LOL, yes, but it works.

Is there a link to the TSB?

I decided that I mildly dislike the rocker switches (levers?) for adjusting the cabin temperature. This time of year we might have warm afternoons, requiring the A/C in the car, and cool/cold the next morning requiring a bit of heat. (Sorry Canadians, we consider mornings in the mid to upper 30s F to be cold here this time of year ). The rocker switches require a lot of repeat pushing or constant pressure to go from 78F to LO or vice versa. I think a knob is a better option...doesn't take one's eyes off the road as long....not to mention the '21s+ don't have the nice little digital temp display over the levers.

Well the idea of an automatic climate control is that you don’t have to adjust the temperature more than a degree or two. Unfortunately this is another are where the Fords seems to really suck compared to my Equinox. For what ever reason the climate control either isn’t as accurate or doesn’t respond as quickly. In my Equinox I never needed to change the set temp more than a degree or two. In the Corsair and Escape loaner I just had I was doing drastic swings to get the feel I wanted.

I don't know a solution for upping the heat quickly, but a quickie solution for max cooling is to hit just the "Max A/C" button for max cooling, then turn it off when the car is cool enough and your original temperature settings are restored (don't mess with the temp settings)
. In Montana, we consider mid 30's pretty nice weather, requiring only the steering wheel heat for comfort.

A faster and safer way would be to use voice control to set the temperature. The voice control accuracy and responsiveness in my Nautilus is pretty good (Sync 4).

I have left the temperature setting the same in both my Corsair and my Edge, and just let the automatic climate handle the rest, which seems to work well in both cars. Other than needing to hit the windshield defogger button when starting out in the cold, then the "auto" button to switch back to automatic control, I've been able to go from mid-summer heat to late fall cold without needing to adjust the temperature settings at all. I do miss the elegant little temperature displays over the levers in the Corsair, though. They were really a nice touch.

I guess I didn't realize our Corsairs (Sync 3) had voice controls for temperature. I will have to check this out tomorrow.

Neither did I. This is a new one for me.

It doesn't.That is one of the big differences between Sync 3 and 4. 4 integrates with more components than 3. That is why in the new 23s they are able to getbrid of the buttons for the climate controls - it is all controlled via the touch screen (Sync 4).

Hi gang. Yes, we can set/control the temperature using voice controls with SYNC 3.
And at least in earlier SYNC 3 vehicles, we have redundant Climate Controls, both hard buttons and touch screen buttons, for mode/temperature/fan speed/air direction/dash registers etc.
Lincoln has been removing the hard buttons (unfortunately, in my opinion) on most models over the last few years.

Good luck.

You can in the F150 and probably some others but it doesn't in my 22 Corsair. It tells me it is not supported whenninuse the voice commands, nor is there a climate menu.

Strange. I could use voice control to set temps, turn on the rear defroster or max A/C etc in my 2018 MKZ with Sync 3. Here's a screenshot from the manual. Maybe they changed it for the Corsair or part of removing buttons as you said.

Hi Sharbotcom. In addition to my MKZ, I have been in many other Lincolns, including 2020, 2021 and 2022 Corsairs, and the temperature could be changed/set using SYNC voice controls.

If you cannot use SYNC 3 voice controls to change/set the cabin temperature in your 2022 Corsair, there is something wrong with your SYNC system and it may be a good idea to have it checked, or perhaps you are using an incorrect command. SYNC 3 voice commands are far more specific/restrictive than SYNC 4 , Siri, Alexa etc.

Of course, it is possible those particular voice commands were eliminated in a newer or the newest SYNC 3.4 update...? That I can not verify or deny.

Let us know how you make out and good luck.

Nope! Nadda! Doesn't work on my 22 Corsair. Here is a link to a 14 second video I just did that shows it doesn't work: Sync 3.4 no climate control 22 Corsair
As mentioned it works in F150 and other but not mine.

I'm heading to the dealer in the morning and I'll mention the manual states it should work but not for me...yet another feature not working.

Hi Sharbotcom. Yes, that was the point we were making. The voice controls being discussed work (and are supposed to work) in SYNC 3/3.4/4 Lincolns, but for some reason are not working in yours.

EDIT- Silly question, but better safe than sorry...You stated "Set temperature 25". Is your SYNC system set to Celsius/metric? If not, that may/would be the cause of the issue. Again, this is all assuming some programming change was not made to the voice commands in the latest SYNC 3.4 updates.

Let us know how you make out and good luck.

Back on the topic. I like the Corsair a lot.... but this engine shut off when the vehicle is stopped is driving me nuts. And the aircon doesn't work when the engine is off. You can disable it for every drive with a couple button presses... but IMHO it should be a permanent option by driver profile.
I know why it's there, it's for fuel economy. But it's also a PITA.
I wonder if FORScan can access it.... I know in other Fords that the aftermarket can shut this off. Of course we have no aftermarket here.
