SERVICE BRAKES
GENTLEMEN, I OWN A 2007 LINCOLN MKZ WITH 68,750 MILES ON IT. I PUT A NEW MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER ON IT ON AUGUST 16, 2015. THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED BECAUSE MY BRAKES WERE PERIODICALLY GOING 'SOFT' AFTER HITTING ROUGH PATCHES ON A ROAD, STRIKING WET, UNEVEN MANHOLE COVERS, OR HITTING SLIPPERY CONDITIONS WHICH ACTIVATED THE ABS SYSTEM. SINCE THAT AUGUST INSTALLATION OF A NEW OEM MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER I HAVE HAD THREE MORE INSTANCES WHERE THE BRAKES HAVE GONE MUSHY AFTER VARIOUS ATTEMPTS TO MAKE A QUICK STOP. I'VE COME TO UNDERSTAND THE LIKELY DEFECTIVE PART IS THE HYDRAULIC MOTOR CONTROL COMMON TO THE CARS UNDER INVESTIGATION AS WELL AS ALL OTHERS UTILIZING THIS SAME PART. MY POINT IS THAT IT IS NOT JUST THE 2007-2009 FORD FUSION OR THE MERCURY MILAN (WHICH YOU ARE INVESTIGATING) THAT HAS THESE SUSPECTED DEFECTIVE BRAKE CONDITIONS. MY 2007 LINCOLN MKZ (AND ANY OTHER FORD, MERCURY, OR LINCOLN AUTOMOBILES WHICH USE THIS CAR'S SAME BRAKING SYSTEM) HAS THIS SAME UNSAFE DESIGN. MY LATEST INCIDENT OCCURRED LAST WEEK WHEN A DEER RAN OUT IN FRONT OF MY CAR ON A SNOWY ROAD. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND AVOIDED HIM. THE ABS KICKED IN AND BRAKES HAVE BECAME MUSHY IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER. AFTER TAKING MY CAR IN FOR REPAIRS TO THE SOFT BRAKES, THE BRAKES HAVE NOT BEEN RETURNED TO 'NORMAL'. I'M RETURNING TO THE GARAGE FOR A 'FIX' AGAIN. THE SOFT BRAKES CAUSE THE CAR TO TAKE EXTRAORDINARILY ABOVE NORMAL DISTANCES TO STOP. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO REVIEW THE 2007 LINCOLN MKZ FOR SIMILAR DEFECTS TO THAT OF THE MERCURY MILAN AND FORD FUSION. ALTHOUGH YOU ARE REPORTING NO DEATHS CURRENTLY AS A RESULT OF THESE CONDITIONS TO THE MKZ, ONE / MANY ARE IMMINENT. 475,000 CARS ALL POTENTIALLY WITH THIS SAME BRAKE DESIGN ARE UNSAFE. ONE WE KNOW FOR SURE THAT IS CERTAINLY UNSAFE IS THE 2007 LINCOLN MKZ.

WHEELS, TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
TIRE PRESSURE GOES DOWN QUICKLY. I SET TIRE PRESSURE AND WITHIN 2 DAYS THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. VEHICLE BECOMES UN STABLE AT SPEED AND IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I WAS DRIVING AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE DIRECTION OF THE VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN. MY MECHANIC SAYS THE CHROME FINISH ON THE WHEELS HAS CORRODED AT THE BEAD AREAS WHERE THE TIRE MOUNTS AND CAUSES FAST TIRE PRESSURE LOSS. THESE ARE FACTORY WHEELS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN ABS ENGAGES, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES REALLY SQUISHY, AND HAS TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. DOESN'T FEEL LIKE IT WOULD BE ABLE TO STOP IN EMERGENCY SITUATION. HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS, BUT HASN'T BEEN AN ISSUE IN DRY CALIFORNIA. NOTE CALIFORNIA IS WET, AND IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. ABS SEEMS OVERLY EAGER TO ENGAGE, AND THIS CONDITION TAKES DAYS BEFORE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMS NORMAL AGAIN.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT ALLOWS WATER TO LEAK INTO IT AND THEREFORE SHORTS OUT ELECTRICAL ITEMS. SO FAR I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY BATTERY, THE STARTER FUSE, AND THE TAIL LIGHT FUSE. REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IS THE ONLY WAY FOR ME TO HAVE TAILLIGHTS AGAIN ON THIS VEHICLE. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED ON THE FREEWAY ONE NIGHT BECAUSE MY TAILLIGHT FUSE SHORTED OUT DURING THE DRIVE. THE WATER IN THE HEAD LIGHT ACCUMULATED OVER TIME, SO I CANNOT PINPOINT EXACTLY WHEN THE SEAL BROKE, BUT THERE IS NO REPAIRING THE SEAL. I'VE BEEN ON MANY VEHICLE FORUMS AND HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH MANY OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT COLLECTING WATER.
