1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 08/11/2024

My 2007 Lincoln Mkx had an sua and within 10 feet totaled the front end when it was thrust into a cement building. This happened on [xxx] and the vehicle is available for inspection here in ft. Wayne, indiana. In 2010 Lincoln implemented an override device to the brake system knowing of the problem and there was no recall for vehicles prior to 2010. My safety was put at risk and that of others. If someone had been exiting the store or walking down the sidewalk they could have been killed. I am suffering with physical and mental problems as a result of this. Police report also states this was definitely a vehicle malfunction. There were no warning signs prior to the incident. Claim has been filed with the office of general council at Lincoln, but remains unresolved to date. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Failure Date: 06/10/2017

My 2007 Lincoln Mkx is suddenly decelerating and stopping or freezing up while driving. The problem started after premier Ford Lincoln service repaired power brakes booster.

5 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 03/14/2016

My Mkx has stalled over the years and the dealer says that's normal. Well, for the first time, I stalled on a hill in a parking lot and my steering locked and brakes didn't work. As soon as I realized I stalled and slammed my brakes, tried to steer away from the car behind me, it was too late for the emergency brake. I slammed into a business associate's SUV that was parked and we both have about 3k worth of damage.

7 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 05/03/2014

Brake booster - I noticed that whenever I came to a stop or slowed down - my car would continue to roll slightly even though I pressed down very hard on the brakes. The pressure of the brake pedal became very stiff and would not allow me to press down on it too much and it felt as if it was going to lock. I eventually had to put my car in neutral whenever I came to a stop just to be cautious and prevent it from possibly rolling into a vehicle or pedestrian crossing the street in front of me. Also, when at a complete stop, the brakes would tighten, my car would make an air pressure noise and began to almost stall or vibrate a little as if it would shut completely down. I did not take the toll road for safety reasons due to the hills so I immediately went to the Lincoln dealership and I'm now out of pocket $786. 00 later because my brake booster went bad. Very frustrating since four months ago I had radiator problems and had to replace the cooling regulator to my radiator and replace the hose which was over $1,200.

While I was taking my children to school, was attemping to slow down and come to a complete stop, I could press the and make go down. I had to pretty much as they say stand up on the brakes. While at stop and still applying alot of force to the pedal the car is slowly rolling. The Lincoln service manager said it was the brake booster causing the problem. Big safety problem!.
