2008 LINCOLN MKX Complaints

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WENT TO PUT ON THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WAS REAL HARD HAD TO PUMP AND PUSH HARD. WAS TOLD IT COULD BE MASTER CYLINDER . WAS TOLD BY A LOCAL MECHANIC HE THOUGH IT WAS UNDER WARRENTY AS A RECALL. DEALER SHIP HAD NO RECORD OF SUCH.

95000 MILES. WENT OVER A SMALL POTHOLE WHILE TAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. USUALLY FIXED ITSELF AFTER A COUPLE HOURS OF DRIVING. THIS TIME IT DID NOT. DROVE OVER 200 MILES WITH THE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR TO STOP. READ ON A FORUM THAT IT IS A BAD AND HYDRAULIC C UNIT AND THAT A TEMP FIX WOULD BE TO DO SEVERAL ABS STOPS ON A LOOSE GRAVEL ROAD. TRIED THAT AND IT WORKED. AFRAID THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND WON'T STOP IN TIME. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. NEED A RECALL. THIS IS HAPPENING IN 2008 FORDS AND LINCOLNS. SAW AT LEAST 200 INSTANCES ON FORUMS. I HAVE A EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT UNLESS IT'S DOING IT WHEN I BRING IT IN THEY WON'T FIX IT

TAKATA RECALL. I FIRST RECEIVED RECALL 16S26 IN JULY 2016. I AM STILL BEING TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE AND CAN'T BE ORDERED FOR THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR. I CONSIDER THIS A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE;HOWEVER, LINCOLN IS UNABLE TO FIX IT AFTER MORE THAN A YEAR.
