Service Brakes Problems of Lincoln Continental

Vehicle: 2017 Lincoln Continental black label VIN: [xxx] I am reporting a seriously catastrophic brake system safety failure. The brake pedal intermittently travels to the floor with little to no resistance, resulting in a sudden loss of hydraulic braking pressure and significantly increased stopping distance. The braking response is spongy, inconsistent, and unreliable. A “low brake fluid” warning appears despite no visible external leak, suggesting an internal hydraulic failure. I almost hit a vehicle from behind on several occasions before finally stopping to safety due to these issues that occurred. All of this occurred without any warning indication. The master brake cylinder has already been replaced with a true Lincoln/Ford part; however, the issue persists. This indicates a deeper system-level defect rather than normal wear and tear. The vehicle is currently unsafe and dangerous to operate due to the risk of complete or partial brake failure. Lincoln/Ford have already acknowledged that there is definitely an issue with the braking system. The failure symptoms are consistent with internal hydraulic brake system defects and are similar in nature to known issues reported in other Ford/Lincoln vehicles built on related platforms, including 2017–2018 Ford f-150 and Lincoln navigator models (TSB 21-2241 and recall [xxx] ), although this VIN is not currently included in a recall. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The contact owns a 2017 Lincoln Continental. The contact stated while driving at approximately 40 mph and coming upon a red traffic light, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to stop, and the brake pedal went to the floorboard. The contact activated the parking brake to stop the vehicle. The contact became aware of brake fluid underneath the vehicle near the wheel and brake hose. The contact took the vehicle to a body shop nearby and a certified mechanic inspected the vehicle and diagnosed that the brake hose had failed. The brake hose and brake line had been replaced. The contact became aware of NHTSA campaign number: 23v162000 (service brakes, hydraulic); however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who confirmed that the brake hose had failed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that due to the failure not being caused due to an accident there would be no assistance. The failure mileage was 90,000.

On my 2020 Lincoln Continental the brake pedal is about one inch higher then the gas pedal. On most cars the brake and gas pedals are even in height. On this car when I move my foot to stop the car I must lift my foot. A few times the side of my foot has hit the brake pedal causing a momentary delay in stopping.

My vehicle is a Lincoln LS. Leased new in April 2002 with 6ml. On it. Has been in for numerous repairs, the car has been gutted and put back together. Dealership claims that the airbag module was replaced. It took approx. 7 months to get Ford to buy back the car. They were undoubtedly aware they could count on my caving after making premium payments and insurance for almost a year on a car that was not fit to drive. As soon as I hired an attorney they dug their heels in farther. I settled just to get the lemon out of my driveway, and to free up my funds to get another car. Ford motor company handled my situation very unprofessionally and with no regard to my safety. At this point I would only hope that they will have to register this vehicle for resale with a record of the defects and not simply a buy back with no explanation.
