| Description of the problem | New 2014 lincoln mkz hybrid bought on 12/12/14 goes into gear while in park without pressing brake and with blinking green light on (accessory mode & not drive). From initial purchase 9now 9 months ago) this happened about a couple of dozen times - there are witnesses (including passengers riding in the car) when this has happened. Car is dangerous at 0 mph. Ford/lincoln apparently had a recall on mkz hybrids for this problem supposedly for models mfg. In mexico (thru oct. 2013 ?)...... Well this one car was missed. Vehicle has been back to the dealer 3 times now but this safety problem still persists. |
