12/30/20 stopped at red traffic light with foot brake. Engine and electrical shut down. Vehicle went to park and would not start again or shift out of park. Nothing worked! had to be towed to Lincoln dealer. The mileage was 6,000! July 2020 I had complained of transmission banging shifting to drive or reverse. Dealer said all was fine. It has been 34 days, dealer replace a module witch did not fix problem. They are now replacing the transmission. The incident occurred at a shopping center light to enter highway 525. Approaching the signal vehicle was only traveling 2-3 mph.

There have been several instances when shifting from reverse to drive and shifting from drive to reverse, there is a loud metal on metal noise and the engine seems to race higher. This has happened when I'm backing out of the driveway or a parking spot. I do come to a complete stop before shifting.

My car had been in twice for repair and computer software update. I was rounding a corner and the engine shifted into neutral, stopping the car. The precollision aid was disabled. Luckily no one was behind me or they would have plowed into my car.

While stopped at a drive thru today the car started giving off multiple warnings of safety failures--blind spot monitoring, camera, lane keep, hill assist, and auto hold. The final warning was a powertrain malfunction. I was able to drive a quick two minute trip home and had the vehicle towed to the dealership.

My '19 Nautilus is equipped with the 2.7 liter engine. When accelerating hard to merge onto the freeway or passing another motor vehicle. There's a strong odor of vehicle exhaust. The rotten egg smell takes over the interior of the vehicle forcing you to put down all the windows to remove it.

Transmission jerks during automatic shifting and at slow speeds accelerates forward. Dealer says Ford is aware and they can't repair. Occurs when vehicle is in motion. Happens every time I drive.
