2008 LINCOLN MKZ Complaints

AFTER ABS FUNCTION OPERATES I HAVE A LOWER THAN USUAL PEDAL TRAVEL. THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES 3/4 OF THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. AFTER SEVERAL HOURS OF NOT USING THE VEHICLE THE PEDAL WILL BE BACK TO NORMAL. THIS CONDITION HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES PRECEDING ABS ACTIVATION.

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN OVER 2 YEARS SINCE WE WERE NOTIFIED WE HAD AN AIR BAG RECALL. I ALSO CONTACTED THEM AFTER TWO YEARS AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD NOT GOTTEN THAT FAR YET. I STRONGLY OBJECT TO HAVING TWO WAIT OVER TWO YEARS FOR SOMETHING THIS IMPORTANT TO OUR SAFETY. IF WERE HURT OR ONE OF US KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT AIR BAGS COULD HAVE KEPT US SAFE WE HAVE LEFT WORD TO SUE THE LIVING HECK OUT OF THEM. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MOVE THEM ALONG.

I PURCHASED A LINCOLN MKZ IN 2015 AND IN 2016, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD ABOUT A RECALL ON MY LINCOLN PASSENGER SIDE FRONTAL AIRBAGS. 2 YEARS LATER AND MONTHLY PHONE CALLS ABOUT REPAIR AND I CONSTANTLY GET THE RUN AROUND THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT IN YET. SOLUTION IS TO NOT PUT PASSENGER UP FRONT, WHICH IS NOT A VIABLE SOLUTION. I EITHER WANT MY CAR REPAIRED OR A REPLACEMENT. I DID NOT BUY A 5 PERSON PREMIUM CAR TO ONLY BE TOLD IT IS NOW A 4 SEATER. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNACCEPTABLE AND I WOULD LIKE HELP WITH WHAT I AM LEGALLY ABLE TO DO.

FIRST RECALL WAS JUNE 2016-NEARLY TWO YEARS LATER NO REPAIR. I WAS ADVISED TO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT....EXCELLENT CYA FOR TAKATA, BUT VERY INCONVENIENT FOR ME/FAMILY/FRIENDS. PLEASE HELP MY COMPLAINT IHAS BEEN ACTION TO REPLACE AIRBAG, EXCEPT RARE NOTICE THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE.

RETIRED US ARMY VETERAN,,,,BOUGHT CAR USED IN 2010 WITH APPROX. 25,0000 MILES FROM A DEALER. IT HAS CHROME WHEELS. AT APPROX 50,000 MILES & 2015, THE CHROME ON THE WHEELS STARTED PEELING AND I STARTED GETTING LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNINGS FROM SLOW LEAKING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER< ( ALWAYS DEALER SERVICED) THEY SAID THE RIM IS CORRODING AND THEY HAVE TO REMOVE THE WHEEL AND TIRE, BREAK DOWN THE TIRE OFF THE RIM, GRIND THE CARROTION OFF THE RIM, PUT SEALER ON IT AND REINSTALL AND REBALANCE THE TIRE. ITS NOT WARRANTEED, SO COST ME $35 AND TOOK 1/2 HR. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD THE OTHER 3 WHEELS DO THE SAME. I WAS QUOTED $845 TO REPLACE ALL 4 CHROME WHEELS WITH ALUMMINIUM WHEELS AND BEST TO DO THAT WHEN NEED NEW TIRES. I AM LOOKING FOR A SET OF USED ALUMMINUM WHEELS FOR IT INSTEAD. OR GET $1,000 LESS ON A TRADE IN FOR ANOTHER 2 YR OLD USED LINCOLN MKZ. I HAVE OPTED TO TRADE IT IN AND GET A 2016' MKZ. BUT WITH ALUM. WHEELS.

AFTER AN ABS BRAKING EVENT THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOW SOFT AND SPONGY AND EXHIBITS EXCESSIVE TRAVEL. BRAKES STILL FUNCTION EFFECTIVELY. BRAKES WILL "PUMP UP" HARDER WITH AN ADDITIONAL PEDAL STROKE.
