THE CHROME RIMS ON OUR 2008 LINCOLN MKZ BEGAN FLAKING AND CORRODING. THIS PROBLEM DID NOT BEGIN UNTIL AFTER THE ORIGINAL TIRES WERE REPLACED IN 2013. ORIGINALLY THE PROBLEM OCCURRED IN THE COLDER MONTHS, REQUIRING REFILLS EVERY 4 WEEKS. NOW THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING IN THE WARMER MONTHS AND MORE FREQUENTLY. RAPID DEFLATIONS HAVE LEFT A TIRE COMPLETELY FLAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE ISSUE IS KNOWN AS THIS DATABASE SHOWS. FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND ADDRESS. *TR

ABOVE IS FIRST TIME NOTED. CAR WILL GO INTO GEAR ON ITS OWN (WHEN THE GREEN BLINKING, OR ACCESSORY LIGHT IS ON CAR'S ENGINE IS NOT ON & NO BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED). THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH ME OUT OF CAR, OTHER PASSENGERS IN CAR, VALET MOVING CAR FOR ME),,,,,,THIS IS "DRIVING MISS DAISEY" WITHOUT A MORGAN FREEMAN (CHAUFER). CAR WILL ROLL ON ITS OWN. INTO DEALER 3 TIMES BUT NOT FIXED. DANGEROUS CAR. ONLY HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN "PARK" OR ACCESSORY MODE (BLINKING GREEN LIGHT" & NO FOOT ON BRAKE AND NO ATTEMPT TO START CAR....JUST USING ACCESSORY (I.E. TO ROLL DOWN WINDOW). IT HAPPENS WITHOUT THE SOLID GREEN ICON LIGHT ON (OR READY TO DRIVE) AND WIT NO FOOT ON BRAKE PEDAL. *TR

WHEN I START MY CAR IT MAKES A CLUNK THEN WHEN I SHIFT IT INTO GEAR IT WILL GO INTO REVERSE BUT WILL CLUNK AND WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND I CAN'T GO OVER 5 MPH. IT'S HAPPENING MORE AND MORE STARTED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO BUT WHEN I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER NOTHING THEY COULD DO CAUSE IT WASN'T HAPPENING THEN. IT'S HAPPENED WHEN I'VE BEEN SITTING AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AS WELL. WE WILL THEN UNHOOK THE BATTER FOR A FEW MINS AND THEN EVERYTHING IS FINE. *TR
