1 Brake Master Cylinder problem of the 2012 Lincoln MKX

Failure Date: 10/04/2019

When using the brakes the pedal goes all the way to the floor and stops slowly. This is done while driving regardless what speed. The brakes would return and go back out randomly. I have the brakes go out on highway and city street as well as in park or in gear. Brake booster recall was done and the problem persisted. Returned to Lincoln and diagnostic was done stating needing to replace brake master cylinder and hydronic control. The hydronic control needs to be recalled. The price can go out without warning and cause vehicle not to stop.

Failure Date: 09/24/2012

Tl-the contact owns a 2008 Lincoln Mkx. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph and depressing the brakes, but the brake pedal would not release. The vehicle was able to slow down, but the contact used extreme force to push down on the brake pedal. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The dealer advised him that the master cylinder was leaking which caused the rubber to harden on the brake pedal. The vehicle was repaired for the booster and master cylinder for the front brakes. The manufacturer was contacted and they offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 71,000 and the current mileage was 72,500. The VIN was unavailable. Tb.

9 Brake Master Cylinder problem of the 2007 Lincoln MKX

Failure Date: 03/12/2008

While our 2007 Lincoln Mkx was standing still, pressure was applied to the brake pedal and it went to the floor. I tried it several times over the next few days with the same result. Took it into the dealer, dealer said it was normal. I objected to that comment. On further investigation by the dealer, they said it was the master cylinder. They did replace the master cylinder. I got into the vehicle, pressed on the brake pedal, thought it felt funny, complained again to the dealer. They said they would give me a test drive with the same type of vehicle. Before that happened, the mechanic came out, got in my vehicle, pushed down on the brake pedal, which again went to the floor. His statement was huh?, must be in the vacuum system. That system is in the process of being replaced. Will keep everyone posted in the next few days.
