Brake Sensor Problems of Lincoln MKZ

The abs system malfunction. All sensors light up and brakes did not work. You could push the brakes to the floor. Very dangerous situatiuon. This is the same abs malfunction that has been the subject of a Ford recalled of 600, 000 vehicles in the fusion,and mk's in the years thru 2010 but not 2011 and 2012 which yse the same braking system. This is a unacceptable and dangerous.

The contact owns a 2016 Lincoln Mkz. While pulling into a parking space at an unknown speed with the brake pedal depressed to the floor, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact crashed the vehicle into a pole. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was equipped with motion sensors to stop the vehicle when an object was near, but they failed to operate. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was not filed and no injuries were reported. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, but it was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 18,000.

While backing into a parking spot, the car's rear sensors sounded. Since I thought there was still 3 or 4 feet of space to a chain link fence behind the car, I got out to investigate. There was room, so I got back into the car & continued to back up slowly while looking out the open driver door. When I applied the brake, the car would not stop. I applied the brakes a few more times, but still couldn't get the car to stop. I believe I moved my right foot more to the left & tried to stop again. When that didn't stop the car, in desperation I moved my foot to the right, pressing firmly once or twice. At that point, my foot either slipped off the brake pedal on to the gas pedal or even possibly hit the gas pedal directly. The car lurched backward, knocking the fence down & damaging the driver door. My wife & I were in the car,but suffered no injury. No other people or vehicles were involved at all. The car was repaired at riverhead Ford in riverhead, NY & the claim has been paid by allstate. My wife & I had experienced no brake problem prior to 6/24/10, & riverhead Ford found no brake problem when the car was repaired. My concern is that there might be a sporadic abnormality caused by the brakes or transmission or computer, & possibly other vehicles have been reported with a similar problem.
