STRUCTURE:BODY, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The vehicle liftgate no longer properly latches and has opened suddenly. The interior audible warning sound continuously alerts and the interior lights sometimes fail to turn-off. The 'Liftgate Ajar' warning light remains on. This problem seems similar to the recall on 2011 Lincoln MKX.

SERVICE BRAKES
When stepping on the brake pedal about four months ago, it traveled nearly to the floor with correspondingly poor breaking but better than nil. Although it could be pumped up a bit to improve stopping it would continue to travel toward the floor. There was not room between the floor and pedal for the toe of my shoe. It was repaired with parts that were not Ford a Lincoln OEM. Two months later, it happened again and was repaired with OEM booster and master cylinder. It has again happened in Jan 2022 with about 130,000 miles. I’ve read some of the issues with the booster but this has defied competent, hopefully competent, technicians on two prior occasions.

SERVICE BRAKES
The Brake Booster on my vehicle failed. I had it replaced and two years later it failed again. Many owners of the 2013 Lincoln MKX have this same issue. This is very dangerous and it putting my families and others lives in danger if my brakes were to completely fail while driving down the highway. There should be some kind of recall on this as I have seen thousands of complaints for the same thing on this exact thing.

Brake Booster problem. When looking online this is a common problem with my year make and model. This is very dangerous concern as I had my children in the car and my brakes would not stop no matter how hard I pressed my brakes. I was lucky there was no on coming traffic or I would have been in an accident

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Our Lincoln MKX had a failure of its power brake booster showing no warning indicator light on the dashboard. The brakes felt like they had air in the lines and excessive pumping was needed to build pressure on the brake pads which eventually needed to be pushed close to the floor in order to stop. We made an appointment at the Ford Dealership. But, since it was a long distance from our home, and not to put us in danger of getting into an accident, we made it to the closest brake repair business we could find that was close to our home. It was found that our Power Brake Booster & Brake Master Cylinder needed to be replaced. We are the 2nd Owners of this Vehicle & we learned that there was an a Customer Satisfaction Program 13N02 - Supplement #1 for certain 2010-2013 Model Year MKX (& Edge) Vehicles that had an Extended Warranty Coverage on Brake Boosters. Our car VIN # falls in the timeframe of this. Moreover, when the Vehicle was purchased from the Ford/Lincoln Dealership, it had 33,341 miles on it & it now only has 51,920. The Customer Satisfaction Program repairs the issue with the power brake booster at no cost within 10 years & on cars up to 150,000 miles. We had to pay out of pocket for our repair & need assistance in getting reimbursement for this expense. This unsafe occurrence also lead to having to replace a Stop Lamp Switch on 02/4/22 which failed & we were charged again (in less than a month's time) for another switch. It was also found on that repair that the booster mount on the inside under the dashboard was not tight & it had a stripped fastener. Now it is being recommended that a removal of the brake booster & master cylinder be inspected for proper installation and that a cut-out of that stripped fastener be done. Access to this requires removal of the instrument panel & steering column to access the firewall to get to the fastener. Invoices related to all this are attached for review except for the last noted recommendations.

SERVICE BRAKES
My brakes failed. I did not have a vehicle crash. I was pulling out of a parking lot and I was far enough behind the other car to avoid an accident. I took my 2013 Lincoln MKX to the Lincoln dealer and found that there is a 13no2 bulletin but it does not include my car even though they found that the brake booster is bad. I received no notice regarding this problem from Ford and no message on my car. There were no warning messages. I have 47,000 miles on my car.

The contact owns a 2013 Lincoln MKX. The contact stated that while driving at various low speeds, a burning odor was detected. The burning odor affected the contact's asthma. Additionally, there was fluid leaking onto the garage floor. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed with fluid leaking from the transfer case. The vehicle was not repaired and remained with the mechanic. The dealer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the manufacturer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN and due to the age of the vehicle, it was not covered. The manufacturer advised the contact to have the vehicle repaired by the dealer, and the dealer could request financial assistance on the contact's behalf. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000. Vehicle has not been repaired.*JB
