Tail light issue. BUT MAKE SURE to Reference TSB No. 14M03. Ford extended warranty on tail light failure for 10 years or 150k miles. So no cost, this is my second trip (one for each side).

Left LED taillight board burned out. Right LED taillight had incorrect LED pattern. Both light assemblies replaced under warranty.
Bottom of the door jamb lighted "Lincoln" logo on the passenger side never worked since I acquired my vehicle (used). Upon start up of the vehicle I've heard a noise and a few seconds later smoke started filling the car. I immediately shut off the car. After the visual inspection I've noticed that "LINCOLN" logo has a burn damage. Restarted a car, no further issues.
Since car is out of warranty, decided not to repair.

A/C system didn't work. Dealer said it was a minor leak, but couldn't find it. Recharged system and added dye. A/C worked as supposed. Due to cooler weather I didn't use A/C enough to go back for a verdict on where leak was from.
