2019 LINCOLN MKZ. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO DEFECTIVE COLLISION WARNING RADAR.

Complete brake failure, Highway conditions, 50 mph coming to an intersection, car slowing ahead, engaged brakes nothing, pumped multiple times all the way to floor , nothing, went through intersection on right between car ahead and stop sign of intersecting road laying on horn. Stopped car with parking brake in a parking lot. At same time the center gps screen went black. After incident brakes worked again so no idea what failed. This car has intermittent and infrequent strange electronic glitches but never of safety nature before.

Had to press brake pedal very hard, brakes were not working well. All pads/rotors were good. Had to bring it to a dealer and they said the brake booster had to be replaced. I noticed there was a recall on later model MKXs but for some reason not the 2103 - it seems like the problem affects a lot of people though.
