2014 Lincoln Mkx. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle moves when gear shifter in park position, power lift gate sporadically opens/rises, carbon monoxide odors inside vehicle. The consumer stated a light illuminated that indicated the vehicle was not in park, when the consumer moved the gear to park. The consumer stated he shook the gear shift a little and the light went out. A few days later, before he could raise the hatch, the vehicle started rolling backwards into the street. The consumer managed to get in the vehicle, and once again a light was on, indicating the vehicle was not in park, despite him placing the vehicle in park. Also, the passenger side mirror would sporadically go all the way up while driving, which made the entire right side of the vehicle a blind spot. After a year and a half of complaints, the dealer inspected the mirror and determined it was defective and replaced it. The rear hatch would sporadically open, and rise when the vehicle was parked or being driven. The consumer stated intermittently, a light would illuminate on the vehicle, saying a key was not detected exhaust fumes entered the vehicle while driving at times.
Wife was driving home in Mkx, less than 1000' from home, and heard a loud pop that sounded like a gun shot. Didn't know what happened until she got home and we looked all around. Didn't see anything until we raised back hatch door and heard glass breaking and falling. Looked on top and noticed that the vista roof had exploded. She was going less than 30 mph thankfully and sun roof was completely closed. Researched this online and found it to be a problem on a lot of cars, even found class action case but it was dismissed in 2016 for some reason. What will it take for this to be corrected. . . Does someone have to lose their life because of this? what if you were traveling on the interstate and this happened? could be a real problem! I don't have pics to download yet because I took it to Ford dealership but they still have the car. Service manager has tried to get help from Ford but they refuse. I do see where several have gotten some monetary response from Ford, but it was after a lot of trouble and hassle. Someone, either Ford or the glass manufacturer should be responsible for this. This is the first time I have ever filed any type of complaint but thought it to be necessary if it might save someone's life.
Windows fog in whole car defrost wont clear the car becomes a death trap because you cant see a thing . If the temp changes from 32 to 30 as you are driving windows instantly fog even with blower on high defrost wont clear. In city on the highway at 70 miles a hour every where. Climate control system.
