ON JULY 17,2012 I GOT INTO MY 2007 LINCOLN MKX AND PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. I HAVE A MEMORY SEAT SO IT STARTED TO GET INTO MY POSITION. WELL, THE SEAT BACK STARTED COMING FORWARD AND WOULD NOT STOP. IT PUSHED MY BODY INTO THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE THE SEAT BOTTOM CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD ALSO. I STARTED TO PANIC AS I WAS WEDGED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL AND MY KNEES WERE TIGHTLY PRESSED AGAINST THE DASH. I TRIED TO GET THE SEAT TO STOP MOVING BY PRESSING THE SET BUTTON ON THE DOOR AND IT WOULD NOT. LUCKILY, THE SEATS ARE LEATHER WHICH ALLO…

MY MKX HAS STALLED OVER THE YEARS AND THE DEALER SAYS THAT'S NORMAL. WELL, FOR THE FIRST TIME, I STALLED ON A HILL IN A PARKING LOT AND MY STEERING LOCKED AND BRAKES DIDN'T WORK. AS SOON AS I REALIZED I STALLED AND SLAMMED MY BRAKES, TRIED TO STEER AWAY FROM THE CAR BEHIND ME, IT WAS TOO LATE FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I SLAMMED INTO A BUSINESS ASSOCIATE'S SUV THAT WAS PARKED AND WE BOTH HAVE ABOUT 3K WORTH OF DAMAGE.
