Brakes Failed problems of the 2008 Lincoln MKX

Tl the contact owns a 2008 Lincoln Mkx. The contact stated that the power brake booster failed while his daughter was driving at an undisclosed speed. The contact stated that additional force was applied on the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a stop. The contact stated that he was not aware of any warning lights being illuminated. The contact called brondes Ford Lincoln maumee (1475 arrowhead rd, maumee, OH 43537), and informed the dealer of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not subjected to a recall. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The contact made an appointment with an independent mechanic to have the vehicle repaired which was still pending. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

There has recently been a recall on Ford/Lincoln trucks for the brake boosters being bad. I have a 2008 Lincoln Mkx and my brake booster started making a noise last week. I took it in to a mechanic and he told me the brake booster was failing but it may not go out for 6 month or even years. You never know. However, I would like to know if someone is looking into this or if I can request this since I have not yet received a notice for my 2008 Lincoln Mkx and it is a faulty part.

While driving my vehicle I applied the brakes. The brake pedal became very stiff and the vehicle was not slowing down. I stepped harder on the brake pedal and the vehicle finally slowed down and came to a complete stop. I pulled over the side of the road and when I pressed on the brake pedal it went to the floor slowly and a high pitched sound came from the engine compartment. I turned the engine off and checked the brake fluid reservoir to insure that I did not have a leak. I started the engine again and headed to my home. Everything worked normally. I told my wife to not use the car and to use our other vehicle. I called ahead to the dealer for service and brought the vehicle in. When they called me they said the brake boost had failed. They changed it and checked the brakes and the vehicle was working correctly. I moved to florida and the brake boost has failed again. This is after approximately 20,000 miles. The same symptoms as the previous failure. This is disconcerting because the replacement unit failed as well leading me to believe there are potential disasters out there.
