THE OCCUPANT OF THE OTHER VEHICLE RECEIVED MEDICAL ATTENTION AT THE SCENE OF THE CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO APPLE FORD (8800 STANFORD BLVD, COLUMBIA, MD 21045 (410) 290-1100) WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS STILL PENDING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

I GOT IN MY VEHICLE 1 MORNING AND NOTICED KNOCKING ONCE I STARTED IT. A VERY LIGHT KNOCK. I IMMEDIATELY KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I CHECKED AND CHANGED MY OIL. THE OIL WAS MILKY AND I SUSPECTED THAT COOLANT WAS BEING MIXED WITH OIL. I HAVE ALWAYS GOT MY OIL CHANGED WHEN REQUIRED. MY CAR HAS NEVER RAN HOT. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY HOME DRIVEWAY. PRIOR TO HEARING THE KNOCKING MY VEHICLE WAS FINE.

TIRES KEP GOING CUZ OF THE ALLL BECAUSE THIS IS BENCHING IS OUT IN THE BACK AND TIRES KEEP GOING

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN BACKING UP OR PULLING FORWARD THE BACK UP CAMERA, AND THE FORWARD CAMERA ARE NOT CONSTANT, AND JITTER RAPIDLY. THIS CAN LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT WHEN A PERSON IS BACKING UP AND THE CAMERA JITTERS TO THE POINT WHERE THE PERSON CAN NOT SEE CLEARLY USING THE BACK UP CAMERA OR THE FRONT CAMERA DURING DRIVING OPERATIONS.

LEFT FROM DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT LATCH WHEN CLOSED. RECALL #19V-077, HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO FORD DEALERSHIP IN MILLEDGEVILLE ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, THEY SEEM TO BE HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING PARTS.

IF YOU ARE ON A HILL SUCH AS A DRIVEWAY AND YOU TURN YOUR CAR ON TO ACCESSORY MODE AND THEN FORGET YOUR CAR IS NOT TURNED ON YOU CAN PUT YOUR CAR INTO GEAR. IF YOU PUT YOUR CAR INTO REVERSE AND THE CAR STARTS ROLLING IT IS DIFFICULT TO STOP IT BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO POWER ON THE BRAKES AND CANNOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE IT IS LOCKED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THERE MAY BE A CHILD BEHIND A CAR AND IT WILL ROLL BACK UNTIL YOU CAN GET IT TURNED OFF. I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE OR REVERSE WHEN THE CAR IS NOT TURNED ON AND YOUR FOOT IS ON THE BREAK.

TIRE WENT FLAT AND LOST ALL POWER STEERING. I COULD NOT EVEN DRIVE IT TO THE NEAREST SERVICE STATION ON THE SPARE TIRE AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. SAFETY RECALL ON 2011 AND NEWER BUT NOT ON 2010 - THIS CAR HAS A DANGEROUS POWER STEERING UNIT AND YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE A CAR THAT'S INOPERABLE JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE.

THE BRAKE SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY AS WELL AS THE SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC MESSAGE ACROSS THE DASHBOARD AND THE BRAKES DON'T FUNCTION PROPERLY AT THIS TIME PREVENTING THE VEHICLE FROM STOPPING WHILE DRIVING.

PICTURE OF AMWRENCH CAME UP ON THE DASH INDICATING TO CHECK OWNERS MANUEL. POWERTRAIN ISSUE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS (2014 LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID RECALL # 13VS94000) BUT MY VIN IS NOT LISTED. WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON A HIGHWAY, SMOKE STARTED TO COME FROM THE HOOD. THIS IS APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MINUTES AFTER I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE SMOKE BECAME WORSE AND LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. THE SMOKE CONTINUED TO INTENSIFY AND STARTED TO COME THROUGH THE VENTS. I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND SAW FIRE UNDERNEATH THE THE CAR. NOT TOO LONG AFTER THE ENTIRE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES, WHICH CAUSE THE WINDSHIELD TO BUST. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT. THE FIRE REPORT (XXX)DEEMED THIS AS ACCIDENTAL AND BELIEVE A MECHANICAL FIRE.*DT ('PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).')*JB*JB
