| 2007 | LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED TO OPERATE ONCE THE IGNITION WAS STARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE BATTERY EACH TIME. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE INFERIOR POWER DOOR LOCK FAILED TO UNLOCK. THE CONTACT HAD TO EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 08/06/13*LJ |
| 2010 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | I WAS PARKED ALMOST PERPENDICULAR TO THE CURB (THAT WAS THE WAY THE PARKING SPOTS WERE SET.) I PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE AND WAS ABOUT TO BACK OUT WHEN I SAW A CAR IN MY REAR VIEW. I QUICKLY SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FORWARD ABOUT A FOOT OR MORE BEFORE STRIKING A LAMP POST. THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT FRONT HEADLIGHT AS WELL AS THE BUMPER, GRILL AND HOOD. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THERE WAS NO INJURY TO THE OTHER 2-PASSENGERS. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS PHENOMENON HAS HAPPENED. THE SUDDEN SURGE HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST TWICE BEFORE. BOTH TIMES WHEN I WAS ON A HILL AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO KEEP THE CAR FROM ROLLING BACK. *TR |
