| Description of the problem | Bought this car from a lincoln dealer ship in norman, oklahoma. Later moved to texas to be closer to my daughter. The car had not done this before, but one night while i was at their house, walked out and the car started by its self. Several times i have been shopping and have come out and my sun-roof and all of my windows are down. This has happened several times since. I regularly take it to a lincoln dealer here in houston. I have asked them several times what the problem is, and they say that it is related to the programmed key, and their is nothing they can do about it. I am 78 years old, and having this happen in the houston area is really a safety factor. Have tried to manipulate the key to try and make theses things happen, but to no avail. A gentlemen that resides where i live now recently came up to my apartment and wanted to know if i knew that my sun-roof and windows were down. Every dealership that i have taken it too does not seem to know what the problem is. Only that is related to the key. I need help solving this problem. I can only guess at the date when it first happened. |
