Vehicle states that it is not in park even though the gear shift is clearly in park. Passenger side climate control turns itself to lowest temp. Fogs windshield because of passenger side climate control issue. Driver side door says ajar even though door is closed.

Sporadically get a message that the driver from door is ajar when it is closed. Also, get a message that transmission not in park when the shifter is in park, more recently I have also gotten this message when I start my vehicle and put in drive. So far I have been able to get both messages to go away by opening and shutting the door a few times(for the door ajar message) and turning the vehicle off and back on(this sometimes takes 3 or 4 tries, for the transmission not in park message).

The drivers door ajar sensor is not working correctly. The door sensor on the dash shows ajar when the door is actually closed. It works intermittently. Causes a drain on the battery.

2014 Lincoln Mkx. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle moves when gear shifter in park position, power lift gate sporadically opens/rises, carbon monoxide odors inside vehicle. The consumer stated a light illuminated that indicated the vehicle was not in park, when the consumer moved the gear to park. The consumer stated he shook the gear shift a little and the light went out. A few days later, before he could raise the hatch, the vehicle started rolling backwards into the street. The consumer managed to get in the vehicle, and once again a light was on, indicating the vehicle was not in park, despite him placing the vehicle in park. Also, the passenger side mirror would sporadically go all the way up while driving, which made the entire right side of the vehicle a blind spot. After a year and a half of complaints, the dealer inspected the mirror and determined it was defective and replaced it. The rear hatch would sporadically open, and rise when the vehicle was parked or being driven. The consumer stated intermittently, a light would illuminate on the vehicle, saying a key was not detected exhaust fumes entered the vehicle while driving at times.
