The driver door pops open when the car is in motion and has been doing this since I bought it 3 years ago in May. But apparently it isn't a recall. I'm actually scared to drive it the car had 54,000 miles and 59,000 5 thousand miles in three years. Can max said it would be repaired free of charge they lied. This is a problem and I've talked to other Mkz owners who say they fixed the car and paid for it.

I do not realy know what hapoened but iwas having some electrical problems and was smoking when we were driving the car. We thought need antifreeze liquid and put it but still running weird.

Door latch will not keep door locked. Door sometimes will not close unless a person plays with the latch to manipulate the hooks to get door to close. Has only happen, so far, with the car stopped.

Serious safety concern affecting many Lincoln models. Couldn't open the driver side door and had to crawl out to the passenger side. This is dangerous in the event of a car crash. So many videos on the web of this problem. This model year should also be included in the door lock recall. Huge inconvenience crawling in from the passenger side, but at least I'm small. I sure would feel sorry for a bigger person. My vehicle was also assembled at the same plant during the year the other cars were affected.

Unable to secure vehicle. Front driver side door will not lock/unlock by using any electric method or by using key mechanically in exterior door lock.

Driver's side door latch is failed, identical to the active 2013-2014 model years failure. Door will not shut properly, cannot be locked, and occasionally requires outside assistance to open the door. Door handle will not retract fully, and locking mechanism is failed. Opening the door while locked is possible. I suspect it would fail in a crash, since the locking bar is obviously not engaged. Ford declaims any responsibility for this item. Matching recall number is 15S16.
