general problems of the 2010 Lincoln MKX

The contact owns a 2010 Lincoln Mkx. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to stop as intended. Additionally, while the brake pedal was depressed; the contact heard a hissing sound coming from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with brake booster failure. The contact was informed that the brake booster needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Brakes are extremely hard to use, takes both feet to stop vehicle, once stopped the engine will stall while brake is touched, must put vehicle in park when stopped.

The brake pedal is very difficult to depress. You have to push very hard for the car to come to a stop. The brakes do not work correctly causing not stopping when pressed. Safety issue for myself and others on the road. My car now has 122,890 miles on it. There was a recall that expired 2015. Never repaired under the recall, before I took ownership.

I was driving my 2010 Lincoln Mkx in heavy traffic when the signal light turned red. When I pushed the brake to stop it was very stiff and I almost hit another vehicle. I could have been seriously injured if I had it another car because there is another safety recall on this vehicle relating to the driver airbag spewing shrapnel in a front end collision. I have had the recall notice regarding the air bag for almost a year already. Ford motor company deemed my vehicle safe to drive with this airbag issue. As it turns out, the brake booster bladder has a tear in it. I purchased the vehicle in 2020 and never was never sent a recall notice on the brake booster even though Ford motor company knew about it. According to what I have read online, Ford motor decided that the recall was only good for a specific amount of time. How can that possibly be the case. This is a safety issue that should be covered for the life of the vehicle. Someone needs to do something about this before someone is seriously injured or killed.

The contact owns a 2010 Lincoln Mkx. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brakes would fail intermittently, and the brake pedal was difficult to be depressed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed as a brake booster failure. The contact was informed that the brake booster needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

Vehicle was driving down highway on two lane road around mountain higher elevation area and just randomly wheel jerked and turned on its own and my brakes did not want to work when they were working just fine a few seconds prior and I would not control steering wheel and I heard car acceleration goes more power which I did not do and it did on my own causing me to hit guardrail and break through it and down a cliff smashing into a tree on driver side door making me trapped in car when airbag did not deploy from steering wheel and explosion of chards of mental and glass getting in my face and hand.

The SUV will make a noise when braking. Also sometimes it will not stop the SUV and I've had to hit a ditch to avoid a car crash.

The brakes are spongy when pressure is applied. A recall is in place for vehicles produced in the same plant as our vehicle. The recall begins with may production in 2010, our car came from that plant in April 2010. Please extent recall to cover our vehicle for the identical problem, from the identical plant. An auto repair shop found the problem. We have owned vehicle less than 2 years and it is driven less than 2000 miles per year.

Ford motor company is recalling 600,000 vehicles for a faulty valve in the hydraulic braking system. The recall doesn't currently include the 2010 Mkx which I own. I have had an intermittent braking problem the last three months in which I took it in and was given new brakes and rotors but hasn't fixed the problem of the brake petal intermittently becoming harder while braking requiring a longer distance to brake. I want to know if other Mkx owners have had a similar experience? when I heard about the 19s54 recall I know that my vehicle is having the same problem. What can I do to be included in the recall? calling them is an automated nightmare in which you enter your vehicle number and are told it doesn't include your vehicle. It took two years to be included on the airbag recall. Thank you.

My brake booster went out. I did find that there was a extended warranty for some but my VIN number did "not" qualify. Sounds like a lie to me. This is a life threatening. I am not the only one with this problem as others have been given the extended warranty coverage. The fact that this is was done on some but not all, does not make safety sense to me. My car was assembled at the designated site that had the problem. I am having my car repaired at a "non-Ford" mechanic, since the last time I went to a Ford dealer, the dealer tried "theft by deception" on me.

Vehicle in motion; brake booster produced "hissing" sound when braking; brake pedal becomes stiff with loss of power-assisted braking, increasing stopping distances. Began as intermittent problem without any advance warning for when it would occur next.

I was driving on the highway to school with my children in the vehicle, as traffic began to slow I went to depress the brake pedal and the vehicle would simply not slow. The pedal literally was down to the floor. I luckily had provided myself with enough distance to have time to slow down and avoid an accident. I will not jeopardize the safety of my children, myself or other drivers on the road. I am forced to resolve this issue either way but it is very obvious that Lincoln has a problem that has carried over to the manufactured date of my vehicle. This is a disaster just waiting to happen.

My breaks sound like air is flowing out when I push on them & the lock up , this seems to be a problem with tons of Mkx !! so why is there no recall!!!! my daughter was driving the other day and the breaks completely lock up in her , she almost wreaked!!! I know there are recalls on other Mkx 2010!! there needs to be one in all of them because someone is going to get hurt due to them!!.

I love my Lincoln Mkx. High performance vehicle of safety and luxury and in comfort and style. I love it. However, my gas is terrible and the car acts like it is going to loose power as the gas isn't getting a full line to go through. I haven't had this problem until 2-3 months ago. My gas mileage is very poor now> to have this fixed there gas been a safety recall for over 1 year maybe 2 years now. I have been on a toi call list agt local dealer to get it fixed. When is this going to happen. , you guys owe me tons of wasted gas.

My wife was driving to work and tried to apply brakes and pedal went to the floor, she was a sufficient distance away from the other car to avoid an accident.

Car was put into park (on a slight slope), then parking/emergency brake was applied. Brake did not hold and rolled 10 - 12 inches into another parked car. What good is an emergency/parking brake if it takes that long to engage? luckily I pressed the regular brake and backed the car up further before putting again into park and applying the parking/emergency brake. This is the second time this has happened. In both cases, the Lincoln pushed into the other car's bumpers allowing me to see the other car move based upon the pressure exerted by the Lincoln. Fortunately, none of the bumper's were damaged. I will also be reporting another 2 problems with this vehicle.

The contact owns a 2010 Lincoln Mkx. The contact stated that when starting the vehicle the brake pedal was difficult to depress and after making a loud sound the pedal would sink into the floorboard. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the brake booster needed to be replaced. The appropriate repairs were made and the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 102,000 and the current mileage was 102,193.

The parking brake on my Lincoln Mkx will not hold the vehicle on a slope. The dealer and Ford motor company say that there is nothing that can be done about it. According to them, the brake is designed to function when the transmission is in park. Using the transmission to hold the car does not comply with the federal regulations for parking brakes which are quite clear. The regs state that: "every combination of motor vehicles must be equipped with a parking brake system adequate to hold the vehicle or combination on any grade on which it is operated, under any condition of loading in which it is found on a public road (free of ice and snow). " there is no mention of the transmission or park in the regulations. The brakes alone will not hold the vehicle so the vehicle is quite dangerous. Property and people will be damaged. The same braking system is used on the Ford edge.
