INCIDENT2: WHILE FILLING GAS TANK I WAS STANDING OVER THE HOSE, NOT HOLDING THE HANDLE. I WAS WAITING TO FILL UP THE VEHICLE. I WITNESSED THE SPOUT POP OUT OF THE GAS TANK AND GASOLINE SPILLED ON MY SHIRT, PANTS AND SHOES. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE WITH ANY VEHICLE. IT SEEMS IT NEEDS SOME SORT OR PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE SO THAT IT DOESN'T EJECT THE GASOLINE HOSE AND SPOUT SO VIOLENTLY.

THE NEW PUSH BUTTON SHIFT CONTROL THAT WE ARE NOT ACCUSTOMED TO, RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH $1187 WORTH OF DAMAGES TO THE FRONT END. FORTUNATELY, THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND THE BUILDING/DRAIN PIPE WE HIT DID NOT SUSTAIN DAMAGE REQUIRING A POLICE REPORT OR INSURANCE CLAIM. SUMMARY: CAR LEASED FROM STAR LINCOLN ON FEBRUARY 22ND. WHILE DRIVING TO FLORIDA ON MARCH 22ND WE STOPPED FOR GASOLINE/COFFEE. AFTER FILLING THE CAR I WENT INSIDE THE SERVICE STATION. MY WIFE SUBSEQUENTLY MOVED THE CAR FROM THE PUMP AREA TO THE PARKING AREA IN FRONT OF THE SERVICE STATION. SHE THEN STOPPED THE CAR WITH THE BRAKE AND THOUGHT THE CAR WAS THEN IN PARK. UPON TAKING HER FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD HITTING THE BUILDING CORNER AND KNOCKING DOWN THE DRAIN PIPE. FIVE MORE FEET OVER, SHE WOULD HAVE CRASHED INTO THE SERVICE STATION WINDOW SO WE CONSIDER OURSELVES LUCKY. MY WIFE AND I ARE EXPERIENCED, LONG TIME DRIVERS AND FIND THE PUSH BUTTON SHIFT CONTROL INITIALLY CONFUSING. IN FACT WE ARE NOW BOTH SAYING ALOUD WHEN WE STOP TO PARK, PUSH PARK AND THEN OFF. I DO PLAN ON REPORTING THIS INCIDENT TO NHSTA TO SIMPLY BE ON THE RECORD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

incident 1: while filling gas tank i left the hose unattended while i waited inside the vehicle. the pressure in the tank from filling the vehicle was enough to push the gas spout out of the tank. as a result about 3 gallons of fuel spilled on the floor. incident2: while filling gas tank i was standing over the hose, not holding the handle. i was waiting to fill up the vehicle. i witnessed the spout pop out of the gas tank and gasoline spilled on my shirt, pants and shoes. i have never had this happened to me before with any vehicle. it seems it needs some sort or pressure relief valve so that it doesn't eject the gasoline hose and spout so violently. the in indents happened two weeks apart.

STRUCTURE:BODY

copy of email to ford motor on april 16, 2014: we recently leased a 2014 lincoln mkz. the new push button shift control that we are not accustomed to, resulted in an accident with $1187 worth of damages to the front end. fortunately, there were no injuries and the building/drain pipe we hit did not sustain damage requiring a police report or insurance claim. summary: car leased from star lincoln on february 22nd. while driving to florida on march 22nd we stopped for gasoline/coffee. after filling the car i went inside the service station. my wife subsequently moved the car from the pump area to the parking area in front of the service station. she then stopped the car with the brake and thought the car was then in park. upon taking her foot off the brake, the car lurched forward hitting the building corner and knocking down the drain pipe. five more feet over, she would have crashed into the service station window so we consider ourselves lucky. my wife and i are experienced, long time drivers and find the push button shift control initially confusing. in fact we are now both saying aloud when we stop to park, push park and then off. i do plan on reporting this incident to nhsta to simply be on the record. thank you for your attention. to nhtsa- we realize this is a matter of driver error and not sure what can be done by automotive companies to help drivers be more adept at the new technology.

ENGINE

car rolls on its own without depressing brake or engaging any gear. vehicle has done this about 5 times in past 6 months and twice in the last 6 weeks. car is very dangerous at "any speed" since it "runs" on its own. ford should rename this mkz hybrid vehicle either: dmd for "driving miss daisy" or uas for "unsafe at zero" puf for "pure unadulterated fiction" ford has lied about car performance (advertised 45 mpg city + highway for both 2013 & 2014 hybrid models) when i only get about 60% of that - 28 mpg (documented) in order to gain market share (hybrids esp. lexus). ford blames its own wind tunnel tests for overstated mpg (maybe tested with hurricane sandy at their back). now, this car drives itself, a nice safety feature huh ? and, ford never issued me any recall on its unique "invisible chauffer driven" vehicle.
