Upon driving the vehicle, it has stalled seven times. Two of those incidents involved vehicle going into park without touching the park button. As it was shifting into park, there was a loud clicking sound as though the vehicle was 'fighting' going into park. Then the vehicle died. On at least five other occasions, it just died. Nothing indicating on my way app, or at service department for local Lincoln dealership. This began one week ago yesterday and without pattern, has continued. Upon return from Lincoln service department, issue resurfaced this morning when it went into park while driving.
