The seat moves sometimes without me wanting it to. The emergency brake slams on and stops and locks the car when in drive or reverse. Lincoln has been zero help and gave false promises.

WE HAVE CONTACT THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND THE MANAGER SAID THEY TRUSTED THEIR SERVICES ENGINEERS THAT ITS THE NORMAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MKX AWD. BOTH THE ADVISER AND THE CORPORATE MANAGER SAID FOR US TO REPORT TO OUR INSURANCE COMPANY IF WE GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECTIVE DESIGN. WE BOUGHT A VERY EXPENSIVE CAR, BUT UNABLE TO USE ITS ABILITIES, BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO ACCELERATE. WHO WOULD BUY A VERY EXPENSIVE CAR AND AFRAID TO...
