2009 Lincoln MKX Brakes Problems

“I have to change the breaks & rotors twice in 2 years. My mechanic says it is the 'break booster'. He stated that their might be a recall. The vehicle is having issues stopping. I am afraid the will go out and cause an accident. The breaks make a released air sound and it is hard to make a complete stop. So I stopped driving it.”

“I have a 2009 Lincoln MKX where the brakes were so stiff that I could hardly stop my vehicle. This is such a huge safety issue. This issue has been covered under ford for certain VIN #'s but not under my 2009 VIN number. I can't understand how this is covered by them for some cars and not others? Evidently it will take injury or death for ford to realize that this isn't something that should be over looked in some vins and not others. This was a cost of close to $850 which in my opinion should be covered by ford! …”

“As reported in forbes magazine on april 24, 2018 there are numerous complaints regarding brake failures with Lincoln mkz 2006-2012 model years affecting one million sedans. The Lincoln MKX model (crossover) I believe to be affected as well. In my case, what happened is that the anti lock brake system has failed on many occasions while I was operating the vehicle with my family inside resulting in several near rear end collisions. Apparently this is a common failure on the 2009 Lincoln MKX model as the ABS component is on backorder and a wait of over 3 weeks is required. …”

“Brakes activate when turning and I pushing the gas pedal one year after I purchased this car , I noticed the brakes would active when I am making a right turn.it was either raining or beginning to snow. The car would brake as I was making a turn while I giving it gas to turn. Happened at least 3 times while I was turning on a main road. This could have been a life threatening event. Imagine a car coming at you and your gas pedal is not responding while at the same time your car is braking. A very scary scenario. I took it to the dealer. …”

“I hear a hissing noise when depressing the brake pedal and the brakes feel spongy and not very responsive. Garage have diagnosed a leaking brake booster. Lincol recall 13n02 exactly fits this fault but is only being applied to 2010 - 2013 models, mine is 2009. This recall needs to be extended to cover 2009 models too.”
