general problems of the 2007 Lincoln MKZ

The contact owns a 2007 Lincoln Mkz. The contact stated that after having the rotors replaced, while driving approximately 30 mph and attempting to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard. The vehicle coasted before coming to a complete stop. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that there was a grinding sound coming from the rear of the vehicle while reversing. Additionally, was a slight delay while shifting gear. The contact also stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure was persistent during cold weather. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed; however, the dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The brake pads and rotors had been replaced approximately 3 to 4 times. The vehicle was returned to the dealer but was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000.

When the wheel speed sensor went bad the car went into limp mode as I was entering the road from a parking lot. I narrowly missed getting hit. Very dangerous situation.

The powertrain control module and coils went bad. Had the car towed to the dealer. Was told that there was a technical service bulletin (TSB 14-0059) on 2007-2008 Lincoln Mkz's. I was told that my VIN # was not one of the problem cars covered. My car is a 2007 Lincoln Mkz I feel that Lincoln is in error and I should be covered fully for repair.

When you are slowing down from a speed of 30 or over you can feel the transmission kick. When you are stopping from regular road speeds and or highway speeds the transmission feels like it is kicking. Best way to describe it is you stop and then you feel a bump. It is not normal. Feels almost like a very hard down shift only by that point you are already stopped.
