Structure problem #1

Cpsc#i1230613a. 2010 Lincoln Navigator. Consumer stated her daughter stepped out the truck onto the extended running board and it closed and crushed her feet/ankles between the running board and car frame. Ford said they could not duplicate the accident so they told her to keep the car and bring it back if happens again.

Body problem #2

The running boards of the 2010 Lincoln Navigator malfunctioned at 78000 miles. The automatic running boards began retracting and lowering up and down while vehicle is in motion (at speeds from to 70 mph) and while completely stopped with engine off, making loud grinding sounds. Upon exiting the vehicle on the drivers side the running board retracted while my right foot was still on the board, locking my foot in between the running board and the lower body of the vehicle causing me to fall forward on the pavement in my driveway which is on a semi-steep incline. The running board lowered and I pulled my foot free and it began to lower and raise multiple times making a loud grinding noise. I then had to manually raise the board and shut off the auto function of the running boards to keep this issue from reoccurring. I notified this incident to the local Ford dealer and was told that the only option I had was to replace the motors. I was not informed why this may have occurred nor was I given any options for medical care or concern due to my vehicle being 5 years old and not under any extended warranty.
