2010 LINCOLN MKZ Structurebody Problems

INTERIOR DOOR GRAB HANDLE CHROME TRIM FLAKES ON THE REAR EDGE CAUSING CUTS TO FINGERS WHEN PULLING DOOR CLOSED.

ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCK/RELEASE SWITCH FAILED, TRAPPING ME IN DRIVERS SEAT. UNABLE TO EXIT VEHICLE EXCEPT BY CRAWLING OVER CONSOLE. ONCE EXITED FROM VEHICLE, WAS UNABLE TO LOCK AND SECURE VEHICLE. PROBLEM WAS WITH DRIVERS SIDE (MASTER) DOOR LOCK AND RELEASE SYSTEM. OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE WAS PARKED, ENGINE OFF, AND ATTEMPTING TO EXIT VEHICLE NORMALLY.

I WAS PARKED ALMOST PERPENDICULAR TO THE CURB (THAT WAS THE WAY THE PARKING SPOTS WERE SET.) I PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE AND WAS ABOUT TO BACK OUT WHEN I SAW A CAR IN MY REAR VIEW. I QUICKLY SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FORWARD ABOUT A FOOT OR MORE BEFORE STRIKING A LAMP POST. THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT FRONT HEADLIGHT AS WELL AS THE BUMPER, GRILL AND HOOD. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THERE WAS NO INJURY TO THE OTHER 2-PASSENGERS. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS PHENOMENON HAS HAPPENED. THE SUDDEN SURGE HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST TWICE BEFORE. BOTH TIMES WHEN I WAS ON A HILL AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO KEEP THE CAR FROM ROLLING BACK. *TR
