Message the car sends "Remote features disabled to preserve battery" Your Nautilus has enter Deep Sleep to remedy the problem you much drive it. I drive my lincoln nautilus everyday and I get this message at least once a month. The car has completely died twice, no power, you can't even open the car doors nor trunk with key. You have to take the key apart and put it in a small hole on the door to open the car up. In March 2025 I was in NC for a funeral with my disabled Mom, we check out of the hotel, go to get in the car, completely dead, had to call a tow truck for a jump. August 2025, same thing the car completely died, had to call a tow truck to tow it to Ted Britt Lincoln Chantilly. The car came with a battery and has now had 3 replacement batteries. So a total of 4 batteries have been in this car. They keep saying we updated a module and replaced the battery. This car has a greater issue. I have been to the dealership Ted Britt Lincoln chantilly 7 times this year for this issue. I can’t depend on this car to not go into deep sleep and then not to start. I'm tired of constantly going to the dealership trying to get a loaner Lincoln to inspect the car. I've had to get 7 loaners this year from them. Every time I get a loaner I am stressed out because now I am responsible for the car. They have my insurance information always in case of accident or incident, it's stressful. The only warning comes from the Lincoln App informing you the car is going into deep sleep to preserve the battery. Ted Britt Lincoln Chantilly has now had my Lincoln nautilus for 10 days, and all they can say is what they have been stating every time. "We update a module and replaced the battery" when will they do something different because this updating modules and replacing battery routine is getting old.
