GENTLEMEN, I OWN A 2007 LINCOLN MKZ WITH 68,750 MILES ON IT. I PUT A NEW MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER ON IT ON AUGUST 16, 2015. THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED BECAUSE MY BRAKES WERE PERIODICALLY GOING 'SOFT' AFTER HITTING ROUGH PATCHES ON A ROAD, STRIKING WET, UNEVEN MANHOLE COVERS, OR HITTING SLIPPERY CONDITIONS WHICH ACTIVATED THE ABS SYSTEM. SINCE THAT AUGUST INSTALLATION OF A NEW OEM MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER I HAVE HAD THREE MORE INSTANCES WHERE THE BRAKES HAVE GONE MUSHY AFTER VARIOUS ATTEMPTS TO MAKE A QUICK STOP. I'VE COME TO UNDERSTAND THE LIKELY DEFECTIVE PART IS THE HYDRAULIC MOTOR CONTROL COMMON TO THE CARS UNDER INVESTIGATION AS WELL AS ALL OTHERS UTILIZING THIS SAME PART. MY POINT IS THAT IT IS NOT JUST THE 2007-2009 FORD FUSION OR THE MERCURY MILAN (WHICH YOU ARE INVESTIGATING) THAT HAS THESE SUSPECTED DEFECTIVE BRAKE CONDITIONS. MY 2007 LINCOLN MKZ (AND ANY OTHER FORD, MERCURY, OR LINCOLN AUTOMOBILES WHICH USE THIS CAR'S SAME BRAKING SYSTEM) HAS THIS SAME UNSAFE DESIGN. MY LATEST INCIDENT OCCURRED LAST WEEK WHEN A DEER RAN OUT IN FRONT OF MY CAR ON A SNOWY ROAD. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND AVOIDED HIM. THE ABS KICKED IN AND BRAKES HAVE BECAME MUSHY IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER. AFTER TAKING MY CAR IN FOR REPAIRS TO THE SOFT BRAKES, THE BRAKES HAVE NOT BEEN RETURNED TO 'NORMAL'. I'M RETURNING TO THE GARAGE FOR A 'FIX' AGAIN. THE SOFT BRAKES CAUSE THE CAR TO TAKE EXTRAORDINARILY ABOVE NORMAL DISTANCES TO STOP. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO REVIEW THE 2007 LINCOLN MKZ FOR SIMILAR DEFECTS TO THAT OF THE MERCURY MILAN AND FORD FUSION. ALTHOUGH YOU ARE REPORTING NO DEATHS CURRENTLY AS A RESULT OF THESE CONDITIONS TO THE MKZ, ONE / MANY ARE IMMINENT. 475,000 CARS ALL POTENTIALLY WITH THIS SAME BRAKE DESIGN ARE UNSAFE. ONE WE KNOW FOR SURE THAT IS CERTAINLY UNSAFE IS THE 2007 LINCOLN MKZ.

"TAKATA RECALL" I AM REACHING OUT TO NHTSA FOR THE SECOND TIME DO TO A RECALL THAT WAS ISSUE BACK ON JUNE 2, 2015 FOR 2011 LINCOLN MKT. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 15S18. A FEW WEEKS AGO I HAD A MESSAGE THAT CAME ACROSS MY DASHBOARD THAT READ SERVICES POWER STEERING AND 2 SEC LATER IT READ SERVICES POWER STEERING NOW. AS WE SPEAK MY CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE. THE CODE THAT COME UP ON THE TEST WAS P07AE. AFTER RESEARCHING THE CODE DESCRIPTION IT IS THE SAME THE DESCRIPTION THAT WAS IDENTIFIED IN THE RECALL. LINCOLN IS NOT TRYING TO HONOR THE RECALL BECAUSE MY VIN DOESN`T SHOW UP.

THERE IS A CRACK BELOW MY BACK WINDOW THAT CAUSES LOTS OF AIR TO COME IN AND ALSO LOTS OF WATER LEAKS AND WHEN IT RAINS I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AND THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO WORK WITH ME TO GET THIS REPAIRED IT GETS VERY COLD IN THERE WITH ALL THE COLD AIR THAT COMES IN WITH MY SMALL CHILDREN HOPEFULLY SOMETHING CAN BE DONE FOR THE AMOUNT THAT WE PAID ON THIS VEHICLE

I WAS PARKING AT APPLEBEES WHEN THE CAR BOLTED AND SLAMMED IN THE WALL. I TRIED TO PUT IT IN PARK BUT WENT IN REVERSE ALSO AT HGH SPEED. FINALLY I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE AND GO TO PARK. I'M CONCERNED. I DID NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE ACCELEATOR. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO CHECK MY CAR OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 LINCOLN MKS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED RANDOMLY WITHOUT WARNING. OCCASIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. MONTHS LATER, THE MANUFACTURER SENT A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V621000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING TO DETERMINE THE MANUFACTURER'S SOLUTION TO SCHEDULE A RECALL REPAIR WITH THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.
