| Description of the problem | Serious safety concern affecting many lincoln models. Couldn't open the driver side door and had to crawl out to the passenger side. This is dangerous in the event of a car crash. So many videos on the web of this problem. This model year should also be included in the door lock recall. Huge inconvenience crawling in from the passenger side, but at least i'm small. I sure would feel sorry for a bigger person. My vehicle was also assembled at the same plant during the year the other cars were affected. |
