general problems of the 2016 Lincoln MKX - part 2

Brake pedal went to the floor causing crash. Inspected by the insurance company. No warning lamps came on.

Have a recall for the emergency brake light coming on due to possible brake line rupture. I took it into the dealership and they told me I needed a battery and the light would go out!!! while the light is still on after 2weeks leaving the dealership. I had an appointment for them to fix the issue with an service loaner to be giving them I was called a day before and they told me a vehicle would not be available cause customers cars had been damaged! now what do that have to do with an safety issue regarding brakes that may cause me and my family to be in an accident? they have not contacted me other than to tell me my extended warranty will pay for it! that means I have to pay a deductible which I had already given $200 previous for that issue and it wasn’t solved.

Tried to contact both the dealer and Ford, no response. Was last November when the recall was announced, why are they dragging their feet?.

Yesterday, December 17, 2020, while backing from a parking space the brakes self-applied, no alarm sounded prior, and while not close to anything. I could let off the accelerator and the brake would release some. When straightened out and driving a short distance down the aisle it happened 2 or 3 more times and gave a red side warning light. Dead stops, accelerator felt hard to push. Happened both when cars were on the side(s) and none close at all. I got to the intersection with no cars close on all 4-sides. When I pulled into the intersection, it braked to a complete stop and refused to move. By playing with throttle and drive/park buttons, I got the car moving, I pulled into an open area and shut the car off, and restarted. I drove home, went through an 8-foot garage door, and parked with no more problems. This all happened in a walmart parking lot and exit lane. Due to the hard braking, if there had been cars behind or approaching a collision would have been possible if the other driver could not react to avoid my car.

Nothing happened yet . . . Trying to sale the unit but cant because the recall has no fix yet.

Unreasonable amount of time for a manufacturer recall repair. Given the severity of this recall for the front brake flex lines the amount of time from notification to current date with no replacement parts available which is still on going. As seniors we feel that our car is very unsafe to drive as we have been told we may not be able to stop the vehicle without warning.

Break fluid completely gone all of a sudden and breaks not functioning. The break went all the way in with out any resistance while driving.

In may and June of 2019 on 2 different occasions, our 2016 Lincoln Mkx ignition �turned off� on its own without any input by the driver while using cruise-control on a crowded highway going 75 mph! when it occurred, a text message was displayed superimposed over the tachometer that read: �caution: ignition turned off�. Fortunately, when it turned off, the car automatically shifted into �neutral� instead of �park�, which it does automatically when the ignition switch is used to turn the car �off�! after it shut off, we coasted in �neutral� without power brakes or power steering while surrounded by mack trucks and other cars. Thank god there was a shoulder on the roadway where we could safely pull over. Before we could attempt to restart the car, we had to coast to a complete stop, put the car in �park�, depress the brake pedal, and press the ignition button. Had we been in a work-zone w/concrete barricades and no shoulder, we could have been run over/killed by a mack truck and/or other car(s) approaching from behind at high speeds. The service manager at our Lincoln dealership said they have never heard of this occurrence, but we easily found two (2) websites discussing this issue regarding the Mkx. We can only wonder how many people may have already died with no explanation about why they were at a full stop on a busy highway. Because we restarted the car, the service manager said the "error" history in the computer was erased - bad programing! both times our incidents happened, we had been driving about an hour on the highway. The car has been �in the shop� at the dealership for 2 weeks, and we are still awaiting an explanation and fix. I'm not sure I'll ever feel confident/safe enough to drive it again!.

Brakes grab causing vehicle to skid on wet pavement. Passengers are restrained by seat belts and loose items in vehicle tossed towards front. Will happen under light pedal application even when applied knowing the problem exits. Have almost slid of roadway on curves using extreme caution braking.

There is a serious flaw/design with the way the bar is attached to the brake pedal,also the brake pedal pad is way too small. When I am driving and I need to brake my foot hits the metal bar that supports the brake pedal,which makes it very uncomfortable to stop. On numerous occasions I almost hit the car in front of me due to this flaw. The design was very poorly planned,the bar is also attached to the right outside of the brake pedal in which other times when moving foot from gas pedal to brake your foot can also be blocked from getting to the brake pedal due to the bar that supports the brake pedal.

There is a serious design flaw/safety hazard with the way the bar attached to the brake pedal is structured. When the vehicle is in motion and I need to brake, the tip of my shoe makes contact with the skinny metal bar attached to the brake pedal. In other words, the only way to brake is to bend my shoe far enough for it to make contact with the brake pedal. This causes very uneven, jerky and erratic braking. In many cases, I have nearly rear-ended the vehicle in front of me because my shoe is not flexible enough to make fast contact with the brake pedal. I have several pictures which clearly show this design flaw.
