1 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 09/12/2025

The electronic parking brake engages on its own and locks causing the rear tire to lock while driving which then causes friction and the tire to smoke heavily which could cause fire or bad accident. I have replaced caliper, caliper actuator, rotor, brake pad, wheel speed sensor, wheel bearing and nothing has fixed the issue.

2 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2023

I tried to start my car this morning. It would not start. There was a loud popping noise, the headlights started flashing and a red box popped up on the control panel with the words brake failure. It was fine yesterday. There is a recall on the brake hoses. I called the dealership I bought the car from, oxmoor Ford, louisville, ky and they said they don’t service Lincoln products anymore and referred me to bill collins Ford. I called them this morning and they haven’t called me back. I do have aaa, so I can have the car towed to the dealership. I need my car, what do I do?.
