2017 Lincoln Mkc

I RECENTLY LEASED A FORD MKC. IT CAME EQUIPPED WITH SIDE VIEW MIRRORS THAT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY FOLD IN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO AN OBJECT WHERE YOU COULD GET CLOSER FOR CONVIENENCE. A GOOD EXAMPLE IS WHEN YOU GO THROUGH A CAR WASH AND THE SIDE MIRRORS FORD IN SO THEY DO OT GET DAMAGED DURING THE CAR WASH. IF A PERSON FORGETS TO PRESS THE BOTTON TO HAVE THE MIRRORS SWING BACK OUT SO A PERSON CAN DRIVE SAFELY THAT DOES NOT OCCUR AUTOMATICALLY. IN ESSENSE THOSE MIRRORS ARE CLOSED AND I COULD BE DOING 55 AND NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE SIDE MIRRORS IF I FORGOT. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY OPEN BACK UP WHEN THE VEHICLE GETS TO A SPECIFIC SPEED LIKE 20-25 MILES AN HOUR. I HAD A BMW THAT HAD THE SAME O[PTIOON ONLY WHEN IT GOT TO 20 MILES AN HOUR IT AUTOMATICALLY PUT THE SIDEVIEW MIRRORS WHERE THEY NEEDED TO GO. BIG SAFETY ISSUE

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON THE LINCOLN MKC MALFUNCTION IN THE RAIN. I EXPERIENCED SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE, UNDER FLOOD ADVISORY CONDITIONS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DID NOT WORK. I TURNED THE CAR ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES. I CHANGE THE WIPER AUTOMATION SETTINGS SEVERAL TIMES AND STILL THE WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY HAZARDOUS ISSUE FOR ANYONE DRIVING A 2017 LINCOLN MKC AND DO NOT BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE TAKEN LIGHTLY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHEN LIVES ARE AT HAND. IN THE ABOVE SET INSTANCE I WAS DRIVING DURING THE DAY WITH RAIN SLEET AND SNOW UNDER FLOOD ADVISORY CONDITIONS.

THE DECORATIVE SILVER STRIPS ON THE DASHBOARD UNDERNEATH BOTH OF THE DASH AIR VENTS CAUSES A MAJOR REFLECTION IN BOTH THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER SIDE VIEW MIRRORS WHEN DRIVING IN BRIGHT SUNLIGHT. THIS IS A MAJOR DISTRACTION AND IN TRAFFIC COULD CAUSE YOU TO MISS SEEING A VEHICLE BESIDE YOU. THESE STRIPS NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH THE FAUX WOOD LOOK ON SOME OF THE MKC MODELS. CAN'T BELIEVE THEY NEVER NOTICED THIS IN THE DESIGN PROCESS. IS NOTICABLE WHEN PARKED OR IN MOTION. HAPPENS EVERYDAY IF THE SUN IS SHINING
