“My backup camera has stopped working and turned black just like other Lincoln models that are being recalled and I believe my car should be included in the recal... Also my transmission leaks fluid just like other Lincoln's that are being recalled for the same issue, I feel like mine should also be included in that recall as well”
NHTSA complaint #11362732, filed 2020-10, 110,235 miles“When driving down a freeway the brake booster went out again after it had been replaced. When I tried to brake, the pedal went down to the floor without bringing the vehicle to a stop or even slowing it down. This nearly caused an accident. We called the dealership and they said since it had been replaced already it wasnt under warranty anymore.”
NHTSA complaint #11280923, filed 2019-11, 127,602 miles“The brake booster on my vehicle went out and it caused several near miss accidents where I felt like I wasn't going to be able to stop in time before we realized what was wrong. An extended warranty is not sufficient - needs to be recalled. I paid $900 to have this repair made because I was never notified of an extended warranty.”
NHTSA complaint #11220623, filed 2019-06, 103,000 miles“Vehicle has less that 50k miles and rarely driven. Three different instances of the brakes failing with the pedal being pushed going all the way to the floor was diagnosed to be an issue with a recall for the brake booster (recalll 13n02). Symptoms of spongy brakes always present. Other brake components were checked and verified to be operational. Dealer indicated this is not a safety issue and will not be fixed because the extended warranty had expired. Yet I have a dangerous vehicle that I am expected to pay for a manufacturing defect.”
NHTSA complaint #11416419, filed 2021-05, 49,910 miles“The sunroof of my 2011 Lincoln MKX , exploded while I was driving on the 401 in canada. (I am us citizen). A portion of the roof must have blown off onto cars behind me. The sound was similar to that of a gun being fired at close range. It was a friday, mid-afternoon, and the start of a 3-day holiday, the freeway was bumper to bumper. Shattered glass rained in on myself, my 14 year old son and his friend. I maneuvered to the side of the freeway. At this point, we cleaned as much glass off from ourselves and out of the car as we could. …”
