The car was pulled into a parking space (space in front of a canal) and pushed buttoned into park and the car then lurched forward, going into the canal (front half only, the back half was stopped by the sea wall). We see there was a recall for the same problem for 2013 lincoln mkz hybrids (ours is not a hybrid).
2013 Lincoln MKZ body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 12 of 12, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My husband was exiting the passenger side with the door open and had his right hand on the door frame, fingers on the edge of the roof. I had just shut the car off and pushed the button to close the large panorama sunroof. The sunroof is above the car and over the back window when it's open, so it was coming forward and down and closed on top of his fingers. He was screaming in pain and I had to figure out what was wrong, and quickly push the button to get the sunroof back open and free his fingers. His fingers are severely bruised today. It seems like there should be a safety mechanism where if the roof is closing on something it reverses itself. If that had been a child's fingers, I think it's likely they could have been severed.
