STEPPED ON BRAKE, MADE NOISE AND PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT STOP ALMOST HITTING CAR IN FRONT OF ME.

THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS CLOSED, BUT THE 'OPEN DOOR' ALERT REMAINS ON, AS WELL AS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS & EXIT LIGHTS. MULTIPLE DOOR CLOSURES, SOFT, SLAMMING, PARK, RESTART. NO RESOLUTION. RAMDOMLY TURNS OFF , BUT HAS STAYED ON OVERNIGHT, & IN PARKING LOTS, BEING UNAWARE IT STAYED ON. ALSO AT THESE TIMES, THE AUTO UNLOCK DOES NOT WORK, I HAVE TO USE THE KEYPAD TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 LINCOLN MKX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP LIGHT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT FAILED TO LOWER, CAUSING THE BRAKING DISTANCE TO BE EXTENDED. AFTER THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILL HOOD FORD (1500 N. MORRISON BLVD, HAMMOND, LA 70401) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER WAS FAULTY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.*DT*JB

MY TRANSFER CASE IN MY CAR BROKE AND I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR IN AUGUST. IS IT FROM THE RECALL?

THE HVAC AND PCM NEEDED THE VIN NUMBER RECODED?? TWO HOURS OF LABOR AT A COST OF $385. DOLLARS. REASON IS HEAT WOULD BLOW COLD AIR ON DRIVERS SIDE AND HEAT ON PASSAGEM SIDE. DEALER SAID THE VEHICLE VIN NUMBER NEEDED TO BE CORRECTED IN BOTH THE HVAC AND PCM MODULES.. DEALER SAID IT IS A GLITCH? VEHICLE IS USED REGULARLY AND THE CABIN AIR FILTER HAD JUST BEEN CHANGED BY THE DEALER WHEN PROBLEM STARTED.

CONTINUED BRAKING PROBLEMS, I REPLACED ALL 4 WHEEL CALIPERS , ROTORS PADS AND CYLINDERS APPROX. 1 YEAR AGO. I HIT A BUMP AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. I CHANGED THE BRAKE FLUID AND THE ABS PUMP. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS STILL MUSHY

WHEN YOU HIT THE GAS PEDAL YOU LOSE ALL ACCELERATION. YOU HAVE TO DRIFT TO A COMPLETE STOP, TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTART IT. HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT MULTIPLE TIMES AND ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING ABOUT 50 MPH. THANKFULLY TRAFFIC WAS NOT HEAVY AND I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR STOPPED AND RESTARTED BEFORE THE POSSIBILITY OF SOMEONE RUNNING INTO US. THERE WAS NO SHOULDER TO PULL OFF ON BECAUSE OF CONSTRUCTION. IT WAS TERRIFYING. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND THERE IS NO WARNING AS TO WHEN. A VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND LINCOLN SEEMS TO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS SO THEY SEND PEOPLE HOME IN THEIR DEFECTIVE VEHICLES BECAUSE AS THEY SAY THEY CAN'T GET THE PROBLEM TO DUPLICATE SO THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR AND SENT ME HOME NOW TWICE. TRUST ME THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY CAR AND MANY OTHERS AND IT IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD!!!

I TOOK MY 2013 LINCOLN MKX FOR MAINTENANCE. I WAS TOLD THAT MY POWER TRANSFER UNIT, (PTU) WAS DEFECTIVE, IT IS A SEALED UNIT AND BEING AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE DRIVE TRAIN, IT NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. VEHICLE WAS STATIONERY. I CONTACTED LINCOLN TO SEE WHY AN ESSENTIAL PART SHOULD HAVE FAILED. I WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO RECALLS, NOTHING COULD BE DONE. 1.OTHER PEOPLE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES. 2. THE POLICE CARS WERE EQUIPPED WITH COOLERS SO THAT THE PTU WOULD NOT OVERHEAT. 3. THE CARS WITH THE PTUS SOLD OVERSEAS WERE GIVEN A DRAIN PLUG. 4. FORD SWITCHED THE MAKERS TO A NEW ONE BECAUSE OF THE INCIDENTS. I SENT AN EMAIL TO NANCY JOY FALOTICO, PRESIDENT, THE LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY, NOT HEARING I CALLED THE EXECUTIVE OFFICES, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM ANOTHER REP. WHO WAS RESPONDING FOR MS. FALOTICO, SHE SAID AGAIN, NOTHING COULD BE DONE. KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS AND IF THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL YOU CAN GET REIMBURSEMENT. THE MALFUNCTION OF THIS PART COULD HAVE CATASTROPHIC RESULTS. LINCOLN MOTORS GAVE THE BBB AN UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSE. 2.CONTACTED ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE OF CT RESPONSE NOT ACCEPTABLE. SAME RESPONSE AS TWAS SENT TO BBB. 3.RECCOMMENDED TO CONTACT YOU. 4. LETTER FROM FORD TRIED TO MAKE IT JUST A WARRANTY ISSUE. IT OBVIOUSLY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WARRANTY.
