general problems of the 2015 Lincoln MKZ

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.

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?.

Driver side brake line ruptured for the second time. Almost got into an accident. Had to run off the road to keep from hitting another vehicle. This is a very serious situation. Needs to be a recall on this brake line. I see other Mkz owners having same issue.

2105 Lincoln Mkz. Consumer writes regarding brake pedal stop bumper safety recall.

While driving, the right front brake hose ruptured, releasing a large amount of brake fluid, dropping the brake pedal to the floor and causing a sudden loss of braking power. I have the faulty hose in my possession. I was not able to brake while driving out of the mountains in tennessee. My wife and I consider ourselves lucky to be alive. Had it happened minutes earlier, we would not be here to tell you about it or to show you the faulty part. The faulty hose was inspected and replaced by an auto mechanic. I advised our local Lincoln dealer/service and I also spoke to the Lincoln concierge service about what should be considered an ongoing safety hazard. I am hoping to show it to you and anyone else that may be familiar with an identical issue regarding the Ford edge/mkx version of the same brake hoses. There was no warning at all prior to the sudden loss of brakes.

This car becomes uncontrollable on a snow road. It can't make a turn when you need it. It goes very unstable on a straight road. I wasn't able to stop on a red light , and I wasn't able to make a left turn, twice on one 12 miles trip. First I drove with little speed no more than 25 miles an hour, after, on second intersection I stayed on a red light and started my turning from 0 speed.
