Problem overview

Some Lincoln Continental owners report experiencing issues such as the trunk opening unexpectedly, intermittent wiper malfunctions, and problems with the remote start system. These trunk issues may be linked to electrical malfunctions or a faulty trunk release mechanism, and owners are advised to check the trunk release button and key fob for damage. Additionally, intermittent wiper problems could stem from a faulty wiper motor or electrical issues, necessitating a thorough inspection of the motor and wiper blades. Remote start challenges may arise from signal interference, a drained key fob battery, or vehicle conditions, so ensuring the vehicle is properly prepared for remote start activation is crucial. Some owners find that diagnosing these complex problems can be difficult for dealerships, and it may be helpful to provide detailed information about the issues or seek a second opinion from another repair shop for more effective resolution.
