2007 LINCOLN MKZ Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH AND COMING TO A STOP LIGHT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. THE CONTACT STATED SHE HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED AS FAULTY BRAKE PADS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V904000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). NEITHER THE LOCAL DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 199,000.

2007 MKZ PURCHASED IN JANUARY 2009 WITH 25,000MILES HAS ALWAYS HAD ISSUE WITH ABS AND CPU FAILURE WHEN ACTIVATED IN MOTION OR EMERGENCY BRAKING. VEHICLE NOW HAS 96,000 MI IN MARCH 2021. LINCOLN MOTOR CO. HAS ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE#: 19V-904, THIRTEEN YEARS LATER/OCT 2020. THE RECALL IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE WHICH HAS ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO SUFFER LONG-TERM DAMAGE TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM. LINCOLN DEALERSHIP HAS ATTEMPTED TO MANAGE THE PROBLEM AT OWNER'S EXPENSE OVER THE YEARS BY REPLACING BRAKE PADS, STILL AT 40% AND ROTORS WHICH HAVE NO GROOVING OR WARPING. APPARENTLY, REPLACING THE PADS AND ROTORS ARE RESTORING THE CALIPER SETTINGS AND HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS WAS PERFORMED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE 13 YR. PERIOD, APPROX. EVERY 4000MILES, AT +1000$ PER SERVICE. AGAIN, THE VEHICLE TRAVELS WHEN BRAKING AND CANNOT PERFORM EMERGENCY STOPS. THE SOLUTION OFFERED AGAIN, TO CONCEAL THE MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT IS TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. 13 YEARS IS A DISGRACEFUL AMOUNT OF TIME TO ALLOW AN AUTO MANUFACTURER TO DENY A DEFECT AND AVOID ANY ACCOUNTABILITY.

PURCHASED A 2007 MKZ IN 2009 W/24K MILES. SINCE PURCHASE DATE, THE VEHICLE HAS HAD AN ELECTRONIC ISSUE WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM, WHICH IS TRIGGERED ANYTIME THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR ATTEMPTING TO STOP SUDDENLY. THE CPU RESPONDS WITH MULTIPLE SIGNALS ACROSS THE DASH, SOMETIMES SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND THE CPU ARE USUALLY RESET WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RESTARTED. VEHICLE HAS BEEN RETURNED TO LINCOLN DEALER FOR SERVICE. TRACTION CONTROL WAS TURNED OFF AND RETURNED TO OWNER. TO MANAGE THIS ISSUE OVER THE YEARS, LINCOLN DEALERSHIP HAS CHARGED OWNER OVER $1000 TO CHANGE BRAKES AND ROTORS WITH PADS AT 40% AND ROTORS HAVE NO DAMAGE. APPARENTLY RESTORING THE PADS AND ROTORS TO NEW RESTORES HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TO BRAKING SYSTEM. AFTER ABS SYSTEM FAILS, BRAKES HAVE LOST ACCEPTABLE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE CAUSING VEHICLE TO TRAVEL WHEN STOPPING AND GRIP SUDDENLY. VEHICLE CAN NO LONGER PERFORM SUDDEN STOPS IN EMERGENCY. VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

II AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT HAS TAKEN FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE EVALUATED FOR POTENTIAL BRAKING PROBLEMS. MY INQUIRY PERTAINS TO AN EXISTING RECALL (19V-904). I RECEIVED A SECOND LETTER FROM LINCOLN YESTERDAY REGARDING THIS MATTER THAT STATES THAT THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE DURING THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2021! CONSIDERING THAT THE RECALL WAS ISSUED IN DECEMBER OF 2019, WHY IS THIS TAKING SO LONG, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT INVOLVES POTENTIALLY LONGER BRAKING DISTANCE NEEDED TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP? I FIND THIS DELAY TO BE UNACCEPTABLE.
