Ford Recalling Lincoln SUVs With Push-Button Ignition

Tuesday, January 6th, 2015 Auto Subrogation Technology

Ford is recalling about 13,500 2015 Lincoln MKC because drivers are shutting the vehicle off by mistake. Drivers are mistakenly touching the crossover SUV’s push-button ignition button while the car is driving, Ford found. The MKC has buttons to put the car in different gears, rather than a traditional gear shift. But drivers who are reaching for the “S” button to put the car in sport mode are sometimes hitting the adjacent start-stop button. The start-stop button is also next to the touch screen which controls the radio, bluetooth phone control and navigation system.
