ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY 2013 LINCOLN MKT ENGINE CAN BE TURNED OFF WHILE IN DRIVE BY SIMPLY PUSHING THE " PUSH START BUTTON". THAT'S RIGHT THE CAR TURNS ITSELF OFF WHEN IN DRIVE IF ONE MISTAKENLY TOUCHES THE 'PUSH START BUTTON' USED TO START THE CAR! TO RESTART THE CAR ONE MUST PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND APPLY THE BRAKE. THIS OBVIOUSLY IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRAVELING ON ANY ROAD OR HIGHWAY AND WILL CERTAINLY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. NOTE: I HAVE FOUND THE SAME SYMPTOM IN BOTH LINCOLN AND FORD CARS WITH THE PUSH START BUTTON OPTION. I RECENTLY DROVE A FORD EXPLORER AND FLEX, BOTH WITH THE PUSH BUTTON OPTION AND BOTH COULD CARS ENGINE COULD BE TURNED OFF WHILE THE CARS WERE IN DRIVE. IT DOES NOT TAKE MUCH PRESSURE TO CAUSE THIS FAILURE TO OCCUR. IN FACT A SLIGHT GLANCE OF YOUR HAND OR FINGER ON THE PUSH START BUTTON IS ALL IT TAKES. I HAVE CONTACT LINCOLN AND FORD BUT WITH NO RESPONSE. YOUR INTEREST IN THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

POWER LIFTGATE OPENED WITHOUT COMMAND WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON HIGHWAY WITHOUT COMMAND AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO INTERIOR CONTROL OR KEYFOB TO CLOSE AND HAD TO CLOSE MANUALLY. LIFTGATE OPENED ON THREE ADDITIONAL OCCASIONS WITHIN 45 MINS OF THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. THE THIRD OCCURRENCE RESULTED IN THE LIFTGATE BEING DAMAGED, (REPAIR EST AT $2,500), WHILE ENTERING AN UNDERGROUND PARKING GARAGE. IN ALL OCCURRENCES, THE LIFTGATE HAD TO BE CLOSED MANUALLY AS IT WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE INTERIOR CONTROL OR KEYFOB. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL LINCOLN DEALERSHIP WHERE IT REMAINED FOR 42 DAYS WITHOUT BEING REPAIRED. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE CONDITION AND REPAIRS WERE NOT MADE. FORD OGC DENIED CLAIM TO REPAIR RESULTING DAMAGE TO DUE TO MALFUNCTION. OWNERS OPINION IS THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT WHICH COULD RESULT IN CARGO FALLING FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR MULTI VEHICLE PILE-UP DUE TO DRIVERS ATTEMPTING TO AVOID OR COLLIDING WITH OBJECTS FALLING FROM THE VEHICLE IF THE LIFTGATE OPENS AGAIN WITHOUT COMMAND. FORD/LINCOLN CUSTOMER COMPLAINT CASE [XXX] FILED 16 OCT 12. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
