general problems of the 2008 Lincoln MKX

The contact owns a 2008 Lincoln Mkx. The contact stated that while driving at unknown speeds, the brake pedal was firm when depressed, and the vehicle was slow to respond. There was an abnormal hissing noise detected from the dashboard. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact called the local dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact called another local dealer, cavalier Ford greenbrier (1515 s military hwy, chesapeake, va 23320), who informed the contact that there were no recalls on the VIN and to schedule an appointment. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the failure was related to NHTSA campaign number: 20v469000 (service brakes, service brakes, hydraulic) but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 91,000.

I have had numerous alignments and tires since got this vehicle last year and now it's shacking, rides likes I have a flat or weaving up and down and starting to pull/ stop working while driving and can't find anything wrong still has all original parts! lights go thru bulbs and can't see.

About a month ago, while driving on the interstate my abs and traction control panel lights lit up with seemingly no instigator, they stayed on until I got off the interstate then went away. From then on they would intermittently pop on which I eventually discovered was mostly once the vehicle was going over 60mph. About a week after the lights started coming on, I noticed occasionally when I would try to stop my vehicle the brakes would lock up as if I was driving on ice. I would have to pump my brakes multiple times to get them to engage which is very nerve wrecking. That particular issue has happened a 2-3 times a week since then. I have taken my vehicle in and had the seal replaced which didn't fix the issue and now I'm being told that this is such a common issue among Lincoln Mkx's, Ford edges, and Ford fusions that they have "updated" axles that remedy the problem. I am getting these new axles to hopefully fix this issue but this has been a huge safety concern that has made me nervous to even put my son in the car.

I have been experiencing braking issues. I have brought my Mkx to a dealer and was informed that I need a new brake booster. They have informed me that Ford is aware of this design issue. Is this covered under any type of recall since they are aware of the issue?.

95000 miles. Went over a small pothole while taking a right hand turn. Brake pedal went to the floor. 4th time this has happened in the last 2 years. Usually fixed itself after a couple hours of driving. This time it did not. Drove over 200 miles with the pedal going to the floor to stop. Read on a forum that it is a bad and hydraulic c unit and that a temp fix would be to do several abs stops on a loose gravel road. Tried that and it worked. Afraid that this is going to happen again and won't stop in time. This is very dangerous. Need a recall. This is happening in 2008 fords and Lincolns. Saw at least 200 instances on forums. I have a extended warranty but unless it's doing it when I bring it in they won't fix it.

Vehicle vehicle frequently has to started twice because the first time the vehicle is started if I go over 40mph the engine and suspension start pulling and jerking and the speedometer will keep increasing even though the car suspension is only alllowing 30mph.

The contact owns a 2008 Lincoln Mkx. While driving 20 mph, an abnormal sound emitted from the vehicle and the instrument panel warning indicators illuminated. The brakes and steering became inoperable. The vehicle eventually stopped independently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 149,000.

My car has 69,129 miles on it and I just had to have the brake booster replaced for the third time.

The brakes are very hard to press and upon "pumping" almost completely fail. Fail like put the car in neutral or don't stop! still passed inspection today even with the I think it is your "booster". I know nothing but found several(many ) complaints that were exactly as mine. This is not a defect? this is a part that all would say could or should wear out. My wife drives this car ,are you kidding me? I also read that it could cost between $750-$1,000 for the replacement! how could this not be a recall. We have owned this vehicle for 4 years and it went bad fast! like yesterday! no help from our gov?.

The brakes are stiff, have a whistle when pushed in to floor and sounds like air is coming from brake pedal. Can barely stop the car,.
