2007 Lincoln MKX Brakes Problems

“My 2007 Lincoln MKX is suddenly decelerating and stopping or freezing up while driving. The problem started after premier ford Lincoln service repaired power brakes booster. I made several complaints to car maker and repairs shop. Premier shop appear unsure of problem and offered expensive solutions to force new car purchase. I believe Lincoln is aware of problem and refuses to issue recall.”

“My MKX has stalled over the years and the dealer says that's normal. Well, for the first time, I stalled on a hill in a parking lot and my steering locked and brakes didn't work. As soon as I realized I stalled and slammed my brakes, tried to steer away from the car behind me, it was too late for the emergency brake. I slammed into a business associate's SUV that was parked and we both have about 3k worth of damage.”

“While I was taking my children to school, was attempting to slow down and come to a complete stop, I could press the and make go down. I had to pretty much as they say stand up on the brakes. While at stop and still applying alot of force to the pedal the car is slowly rolling. The Lincoln service manager said it was the brake booster causing the problem. Big safety problem!”

“Brake booster - I noticed that whenever I came to a stop or slowed down - my car would continue to roll slightly even though I pressed down very hard on the brakes. The pressure of the brake pedal became very stiff and would not allow me to press down on it too much and it felt as if it was going to lock. I eventually had to put my car in neutral whenever I came to a stop just to be cautious and prevent it from possibly rolling into a vehicle or pedestrian crossing the street in front of me. …”

“Our vehicle was involved in a rear end crash while stopped at a pedestrian cross walk. The visual damage to our Lincoln MKX was the exhaust system and rear bumper. The non-visual damage was the brake power booster. The power surge from the rear end impact while the brakes were engaged caused the brake power booster to fail. Both my mechanic and the local ford dealer confirm that the failure of the brake system was caused by the damage related to the rear end impact in the accident. …”
