Problem overview

Some Lincoln Continental owners report experiencing repeated battery failures since 2017, leading to stranding issues. Symptoms of a dead battery include slow engine cranking, no start, dim lights, flickering dashboard lights, and clicking noises when attempting to start the engine. Additionally, some owners have noted that their battery drains while the car is not running, indicating a potential current draw that requires immediate attention. Issues with the alternator have also been cited as a possible cause of these repeated battery failures, particularly if the vehicle stops unexpectedly. Furthermore, the 2018 model year has been reported to have specific problems related to the battery, as well as issues with interior courtesy lights and faulty door latches. It is advisable for owners to have their alternator and electrical systems thoroughly checked to identify the root cause of these battery failures and to perform regular maintenance to help prevent future incidents.
