“Bought this car from a Lincoln dealer ship in norman, oklahoma. Later moved to texas to be closer to my daughter. The car had not done this before, but one night while I was at their house, walked out and the car started by its self. Several times I have been shopping and have come out and my sun-roof and all of my windows are down. This has happened several times since. I regularly take it to a Lincoln dealer here in houston. I have asked them several times what the problem is, and they say that it is related to the programmed key, and their is nothing they can do about it. …”
