I leased a 2007 Lincoln MKZ two days ago. I parked the car in my driveway which had a SMALL THIN amount of ice on ONE side of it only... The other side of the driveway was dry as a bone. When I woke up the car had rolled on its own to the bottom of the driveway into my van. If my van wasn't there it would have ended up in the street! There is a small dent but my main concern is the dealership cannot find anything wrong with it. I'm so afraid that it will happen again and someone will get hurt. Does anyone have any idea why this would happen? It is a 43,000 dollar car and the dealership thinks I'm insane but I don't want to be stuck with a 3 year lease that is going to end up hurting someone!!! If I only had an idea of what could cause something like this they would check it out. Could it be a computer or GPS issue? My emergency brake was not on the first time but i put it on and it happened again. Please help!

The car is an automatic and my driveway has an incline but I had a 2003 Mustang before the Lincoln and NEVER had the problem I am having now and NEVER had to put the emergency brake on.

take it to an independent mechanic to check it out. put blocks behind the wheels to prevent it from rolling til you get it figured out. could someone be playing a joke on you?

Some of the ford trannies have an intermittent problem with the parking pawl engaging. I alway use the parking brake, just to be safe. check the nhts website for recalls.
