SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE PEDAL VERY SOFT, GOES TO FLOOR MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STOP. AFTER PUMPING BRAKE A COUPLE OF TIMES BRAKING POSSIBLE BUT STILL NOT RIGHT ALSO A HISSING SOUND CAN BE HEARD. THIS HAPPENS WHEN TRYING TO STOP ON EITHER CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAY. EXAMPLE WHEN STOPPING FOR A STOP SIGN OR SIGNAL. FIRST REPAIR SHOP I TOOK IT TO CHECKED MY BRAKES AND SAID THEY WERE FINE. AFTER STILL EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM I TOOK IT ANOTHER REPAIR FACILITY AND THEY WERE ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER. CAR NOW STOPS OK. THIS WAS AT 46703 MILES.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
LOOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING WRENCH LIGHT COMES UP SAYING LOCKED. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. TWICE 2 YEARS AGO AND ONCE ON AUGUST 23, 2016. DEALER CANNOT REPLICATE CODE. VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING 60 MILES ON HIGHWAY. LINCOLN WILL NOT DO ANYTHING SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG? LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING 30 MILES PER HOUR. ANOTHER TIME 60 MILES PER. MANAGE TO PULL OVER BECAUSE IT JUST ABOVE MOVED, LIKE 1 MILE PER HOUR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE DASH LIGHT TELLS US THE PASSENGER DOOR IS AJAR ALL THE TIME (WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED) AND SOMETIMES IT SHOWS THE DRIVER DOOR IS AJAR WHEN, IN FACT, THE DOORS ARE SHUT. THE DASH LIGHTS AND EXTERIOR REAR VIEW MIRROR LIGHTS STAY LIT A LONG TIME AFTER THE CAR IS PARKED AND THE LIGHTS ARE TURNED OFF. THE HORN (ALARM) WILL START HONKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT OR WHEN IT SITS IN A PARKING LOT FOR AN HOUR OR SO AFTER IT IS PARKED AND WE WILL HAVE TO FIND THE KEYS TO SHUT IT OFF. VERY ANNOYING AND EMBARRASSING WHEN SITTING IN CHURCH AND THIS HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF A SERMON OR PARKED AT A MOTEL AND THE ALARM GOES OFF AT 2 A.M. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. WE ARE ANNOYED AND ANGRY AND DON'T WANT TO PAY HUGE SUMS OF MONEY FOR THEM TO KEEP RUNNING TESTS AND TELLING US "NOTHING IS WRONG", WHEN IT IS! HOW DO WE RESOLVE THIS?

SAT FOR AWHILE THEN RESTARTED THE CAR AND DROVE OFF. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ON TO A FREEWAY ,WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE, CAR JERKS AND ACTS AS IF IT WANTS TO SHUT DOWN. ALSO DOOR SENSORS BEEP EVERY TIME YOU GET OUT OF CAR, AND YOU HAVE TO KEEP SLAMMING DOORS IN ORDER FOR INTERIOR, LIGHTS TO GO OFF. DASH READS DOORS ARE STILL OPEN.

POWER TRAIN
GOING DOWN THE STREET WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR GIVE A BIG HICCUP, THEN JUST A FEW FEET MORE, ANOTHER BIG HICCUP, THEN HAD NO POWER, COULD PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, AND NOTHING, LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO PULL IT OFF THE STREET, OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC, HAD WE BEEN GOING FASTER, AND BEEN ON A BUSY HIGHWAY, COULD HAD BEEN FATALLY INJURED BY A CAR TRAVELING BEHIND US AT A GREATER SPEED. THE OPEN WRENCH SIGN CAME UP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, INDICATING POWERTRAIN PROBLEM. LUCK FOR US, A DEPUTY CAME ALONG, AND ASK TO HELP, HE SAID TRY TO RESTART IT, WE HAD SIT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, THE OPEN WRENCH LIGHT WAS GONE, AND THE CAR WE COULD DRIVE ON HOME, TOOK TO THE PLAZA LINCOLN DEALER THE NEXT DAY, AND THEY RAN THE COMPUTER TEST AND THE PINPOINT TEST AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING, BUT I HAVE FOUND ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM! I GUESS WE HAVE TO HAVE PEOPLE KILLED BEFORE ANYONE WILL DO A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, SAD MONEY IS MORE IMPORTANT THEN PEOPLE'S LIVES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
SAME AS ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. I WENT TO STOP AT A 4 WAY STOP AND MY BRAKES WERE HARD THAN HISSED AND WENT WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP AT THE STOP SIGN AND I THANK GOD NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER HAVING THE BRAKES INSPECTED AND ASSURED THAT THEY WERE OK THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. NOW MY CAR IS GOING TO SIT UNTIL I CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO NEXT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM! BRAKES ARE A NECESSITY AND DEATH OR INJURIES NEED TO BE AVOIDED NOW! PLEASE PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR DIES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AFTER CLOSING THE DRIVERS DOOR THE CAR DETECTS AND SAYS THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS OF CLOSING THE DOOR...SOMETIMES IT WILL GO OFF. NOW, THE LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING ON THE LINCOLN MKX AND THE FORD EDGE (SAME TYPE VEHICLE) AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS WITH A RECALL FOR FORD AND LINCOLN WHICH IS CHARGING CUSTOMERS UP TO $500.00 IN SOME CASES TO REPAIR THESE FAULTY SWITCHES/SENSOR. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
I NOTICED A FEW DAYS AGO WHEN I WAS IN TRAFFIC MY BRAKES DIDN'T WANT TO HOLD. I PRESSED REALLY HARD AND ONLY THEN DID MY CAR STOPPED. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID MY BRAKES LOOKED GREAT. TWO DAYS AGO I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A FAULTY VALUE AND THAT MY BRAKES WERE FINE. WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE THE DEALER MY CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND MY BRAKES FAILED I WAS THANKFUL THAT THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK TO THE DEALER. THE MANAGER CAME AND CHECKED IT OUT AND HE SAID THE BOOSTER PART OF THE BRAKES WERE DEFECTED AND MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE CAR IS NOW IN THE SHOP. I NOTICED WHEN I CHECKED ONLINE THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES. MY FEAR WAS HAVING AN ACCIDENT! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
SAME AS PREVIOUS COMPLAINT I PASTED BELOW. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME BRAKE AND MY BRAKES WERE NOT RESPONDING THE PEDAL WAS LOCKED THEN WENT SOFT RESULTING IN A VERY CLOSE CALL AS I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET THE BRAKES TO ENGAGE. AIR HISSING WHEN I PRESSED BREAK PEDAL, I AM TAKING THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT IN BRAKES, SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR A RECALL AS IT COULD EASILY HAVE RESULTED IN A COLLISION AND INJURY.

SERVICE BRAKES
I DRIVE A LINCOLN 2012 MKX. AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD COMING UP TO A MAJOR INTERSECTION MY BRAKES FAILED. AFTER VIGOROUSLY PUMPING THE BRAKES, I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO COME TO A SAFE STOP WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. AS IT TURNED OUT, THE BRAKES HAD A DEFECTED POWER BOOSTER AND I HAD TO HAVE THIS REPLACED. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH LINCOLN AND BESIDES OFFERING ME AN EXTRA WARRANTY THEY COULD NOT ASSIST WITH GETTING ME INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS PURCHASEDNEW. THE STICK SHIFT HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO TRANSMISSON ISSUE AND NOT GOING INTO PARK, BACK HATCH ISSUES, SOFTWARE ISSUES, RADIO ISSUES, AND THE MOST RECENTLY A POWER STEERING HOSE LEAK, THEN THIS ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES. AFTER THE LAST ISSUE I LOST ANY COMORT LEVEL IN THE RELIABILITY OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR
