My brakes have failed on this car three times. I had new front and back brakes installed on [xxx] mileage 44882. Again my brakes failed on [xxx] mileage 47626. A new brake booster was installed along with front brakes. Again on [xxx] brakes failed again and a brake booster and front brakes were installed. Mileage 54924. Today I was driving to my daughters house in zanesville, ohio and my brakes failed again. My car is still down in zanesville because I could not drive it home. The mileage is 57000. Every time this happens I risk an accident. Even though the brake booster is covered by extended warranty, because Lincoln knows about this problem, I still have to pay for brakes and other cost. Isn't there anything that can be done about this? information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

On two occasions I was on my way to church when the brake pedal went completely to the floor with no braking effect. I pumped the brake peddle several times and then in both instances braking was reestablished. These instances happened about a month and a half apart.

In June 2024, I received a letter dated March of 2024 for a customer satisfaction program 13n02 that ended before I had a chance to take my vehicle into the repair shop to have this item fixed. Actually, I received the letter past the date that it could qualify for the repair as it was 10 years from the original warranty or 150,000 miles. My original warranty start date was December 2013. So they sent the "customer satisfaction program notice 13n02" after the date it could be repaired. I called the dealership anyway, despite their error, to see if they may want to fix this spongy break pedal anyway since they had messed up their mailing date. (shultz Lincoln in wexford, PA) they declined and told me they would be happy to look at it for a low fee of $180. 00. I told them they should do it for free. I then called Lincoln directly where I spoke with a very nice gentleman. He looked through every possible scenario and decided that I was not able to get it fixed under the program. There really should be some type of law disallowing them to send out post dated letters knowing very well that they were not going to fix it because it was past the date of repair. My brake pedal hits the floor when I try to stop and if I do not push on the pedal hard enough to brake without the booster kicking in, I bump into things. Solution, I have attached a 2 channel dash cam to the vehicle with a live feed posted to a server in order to document my death caused by Lincoln. I have instructed my attorneys to release the feed upon my death and have authorized a law suit in my name. If won, they have been told to distribute the money to all of the homeless people that the Lincoln executives drive past with their pocket tight and windows up every day on their way to work. This should be a crime. They should fix their safety issues, they should not be allowed to send out notices offering to pay for repairs that they do not plan on repairing. Also, they could spare a dollar for the homeless.

A dangerous stall of the engine happens when accelerating,.

My 2007 Lincoln Mkx had an sua and within 10 feet totaled the front end when it was thrust into a cement building. This happened on [xxx] and the vehicle is available for inspection here in ft. Wayne, indiana. In 2010 Lincoln implemented an override device to the brake system knowing of the problem and there was no recall for vehicles prior to 2010. My safety was put at risk and that of others. If someone had been exiting the store or walking down the sidewalk they could have been killed. I am suffering with physical and mental problems as a result of this. Police report also states this was definitely a vehicle malfunction. There were no warning signs prior to the incident. Claim has been filed with the office of general council at Lincoln, but remains unresolved to date. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The contact owns a 2013 Lincoln Mkx. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the brake pedal was depressed, and the brake pedal felt soft. The contact depressed the brake pedal to the floorboard while slowing the vehicle. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic, who referred the contact to a local dealer. The vehicle was diagnosed, and it was determined that the hecu was leaking, causing the brake booster and other braking systems to fail. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The contact was advised by an independent mechanic that the brake failure for the year, make, and model was known by the manufacturer. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

The brakes suddenly became very difficult to depress to make the vehicle come to a stop. Emergency repair was necessary, as driving to the dealer was unsafe. Brake booster was filled with fluid. The car then had to be towed to dealer, where repair required replacement of brake booster, master cylinder, and booster vacuum hoses. There are recalls for this same make, model and year. Though my VIN does not come up in those vehicles covered by the recall, it is the exact same problem.

Condensation build up in my passenger headlamp has caused the led rope lighting to stop working. This shows a recall but one not offered at this time. I have never received any recalls through the mail form. I recently moved and my address is as follows: sharon kidd 12063 signal view rd,knoxville TN 37932.

I have had to replace my rear brake pads, rotors, and the whole braking system (not related to sensors) three times in a year. I received the recall notice after the third time and had a mechanic fix my brake hose as a short-term remedy for my car. Not only does my car have a delay in breaking it is a delay in the monitoring service. Technically the sounds related to my vehicle are not related to braking at all by the speed in which a car slows down before it breaks. In this case that mean if I slam on my breaks the "emergency sound" does not go off. I have a minor fender bender as well due to these two problems associated with my braking system.

What system failed: hydraulic control unit within the braking system. Brake pedal and master cylinder in good working order. Safety concern: vehicle failed to stop. Peddle completely to the floor.

Brake booster is a known issue with these cars. It failed today and my car has 100,000 miles. Ford has issued a customer satisfaction notice, but they refuse to fix my car because it was built 3 months too early.

Our car has been having issues with the breaks. At random times the break peddle gets very spongy and has to be pushed to the floor before the brakes will activate. The reduced break pressure has caused near crashes as the vehicle does not slow down when the breaks are pushed until the pedal is pushed to the floor. We took the car into a Lincoln dealership and they spent a day looking at the vehicle. The mechanic informed us that the vehicle has a faulty abs pump and that the part needs to be replaced to remedy the brake issue. We were told by the Lincoln dealer that the part is on back order and that this part is known to fail on our year and model of car.

Brakes loose pressure and break pedal has to be pushed to the floor before speed is reduced. Likely an issue with the break booster.

The contact owns a 2013 Lincoln Mkx. The contact stated that after her daughter started the vehicle, the parking brake failed and the vehicle began to roll. As a result, the vehicle rolled 300 yards downhill, running over the driver, who had attempted to physically stop the vehicle and came to a complete stop after colliding with a building. The air bags did not deploy. No warning lights were illuminated. A police report was filed, and injuries were reported. The driver was taken to an area hospital and treated for a sprained hip, a sprained ankle, and various contusions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that the vehicle was functioning as intended. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 243,000.

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.

When driving the vehicle, the brakes got stiff and mushy and hard to stop the car. There was not indicator on the dash there was an issue with the brakes. Had it checked by a mechanic and he stated it needed to go to the dealership since it was the brake booster which needed attention. I looked for recalls on this model and they had one in 2015 time frame, but I did not purchase it used until 8/17 after the recall. I set an appointment with the stumpf Ford where they confirmed it was the brake booster. I also found numerous (43) complaints about the same issue with the 2013 Lincoln Mkx. I fortunately did not have an accident when this happened, but feel there are issues around the brake booster and it is a hazard for my self and other drivers if there had been an accident. The dealership had stated there was a recall which ended in 2015 for that model, but that there is one on going from 2018 until 2025 for the mkz. As stated this is a safety issue for the driver of the car and other drivers.

While driving on sept 22 2023 I hit a pothole and immediately felt a change in the pressure in the gas pedal, upon braking I noticed a loss of pressure in the brake system. Vehicle was slow to respond to applicsation of brake pedal to where I had to move my seaty forward so that I could depress the pedal to the floor ( im 4'10" and could not apply the brake to the degree needed to stop my vehicle from the seat position I usually drive in). When pressing the brake pedal it felt as if it wanted to engage the abs system but was not doing so and I would have to press the pedal to the floor which then would bring me to a jolting stop. I don't know how to explain it but there was also a differnce in the feeling of pressure when pushing on the gas pedal so whatever happened affected pressure in both the fuel and brake syatem foot pedals. I have not had the vehicle inspected as of writing this, nor have I reported it to police as I did not experience a collisionbeing that it happened a short distance from my house abnd the vehicle has not been driven since the issue began yesterday morning sept 22 2023.

Loss of pressure in brakes and fuel foot pedals after hitting a pothole. Pressure was so low in brakes I had to press brake pedal to floor to come to a jerking stop. It felt as if there was no brake at all as it was slow to brake coming to an abrupt stop once pedal floored. I do not have documentation from service center as I have not had it looked at since the issue happened yesterday morning, and I have no police report at this time as there was no crash.

We had to replace the brake booster. Doing research online I saw that other Lincoln models in the same manufacturing year. A lot had recalls for the brake booster. Our mechanic suggested that we file a complaint with you because the recall should have covered all the Lincoln’s. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2013 Lincoln Mkx. The contact stated while driving 35 mph and attempting to decelerate, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard, but the vehicle failed to stop as needed.

The brake booster on this car is going bad. It is exactly the same part that was recalled on our daughter's 2013 Ford edge. There are no warning lamps or other feedback to the driver. It is an audible sound of air escaping that I recognized from her experience. It is not yet difficult to make the car stop, but, it is a significant concern. I first heard the issue in August of this year at just over 108,000 miles. It has not been inspected by a mechanic yet, I will be taking it in. This is a significant issue. It is continuous and I first thought it was in the air conditioning. My husband identified it as the same sound we heard on my daughter's edge.

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.

Brake pedal faded while in traffic. Was able to steer around other cars, got car to repair shop. Originally couldn't replicate issue. After attempting to drive car mechanic was able to find problem. Diagnostic tests said master cylinder was bad. Replaced same and still had fading pedal. Diagnosed as hydraulic control unit (abs braking). Had vehicle towed to Ford dealership for repairs. Replaced hcu no better. Then replaced flex lines at wheels, no better. Finally replaced master cylinder again, and finally fixed braking problems.

Brakes went out completely and it took several times to hit the brakes in order for you to stop. I almost had to choose hitting a pole to keep from endangering someone else. I could have lost my life. I am still frightened about this incident. After having the brake pads and rotors replaced, for $500, at jiffy lube, the vehicle still wouldn’t stop. I contacted Ford to inform of the issue and was informed that’s there two active recalls. After I found out there was a recall on the brake booster, I had the vehicle towed to Ford autonation, arlington, TX. They told me they were two weeks behind and would get to the vehicle ASAP. Waited over three weeks and not until the week of September 11, 2023, I was informed, that the recall expired in March 2023. I purchased vehicle in 2017. The incident occurred in July 2023. I informed them that this isn’t fair, because from research, several consumers are still complaining about the brake booster going out. I called Ford and was advised the same thing. I asked to speak with someone above and was informed, I’m it. He was the case manager. I called autonation back asked if they can give me a discount. Finally, I was advised repairs would go from $1413 to $865. I still feel the recall should be honored. I had no idea about this recall and it went out when it did. I guess Ford doesn’t care about their consumers life or the life of others that could have been hurt or killed. This is very poor customer service. So now, I have to spend more money which is now coming to a total of $1913, (includes brake pads/rotors), and Ford took approximately $600 off repairs, still leaving me with almost $900 out of pocket. Please assist me with my concern to this matter.

Without any warning light on dashboard, brake pedal on our 2013 Lincoln Mkx became very difficult to press. So difficult my wife is unable to do so at all. Takes an alarming amount of space to come to a complete stop. Very dangerous and almost caused an accident. A recall took place a few years back before we owned this vehicle (recall 13n02) and listed brake booster as the cause up through the 2013 model. For some reason our vehicle was not included. Regardless of if manufacturer says the problem was resolved by the time our vehicle was manufactured, that is clearly not the case. I have read countless testimonials from people in similar situations (same vehicle, year,and problem), so why is this not being addressed? why has this recall not been reopened? do you really need to wait until enough people have been effected, or enough accidents have been reported, or enough lives have been lost before this becomes something you'll address? this is extremely dangerous, happened with no warning, and I'll be damned if I'm going to wait on the sidelines until someone finally decides to pay attention. Somebody needs to do their damn job and get on this. For christ's sake, do better.

When braking there is no resistance on the brake pedal and is slow to break. Very scary when it randomly happens when driving and unable to quickly stop!.

The master cylinder for the brakes wen out an I replaced it on may 30th 2023 and today is June 15th and the same problem is happening.
