2012 Lincoln MKX Brakes Problems

“When making a stop the brakes are hard, then suddenly the go all the way to the floor. Then at at traffic light waiting for the light to change the car dies, I have to put it in park to start it up. The engine light will come on for about 30 minutes. I'd taken it to the ford Lincoln dealership the diagnosis was the brake booster cost was 905.00 also the back up camera us upside down.”

“I was driving on the highway when the vehicle in front of me suddenly slowed down cause the traffic was stopped ,as I hit the brake it went to the floor and the vehicle could not stop I had to pull off to the shoulder to avoid hitting the car, I also had to pump the brakes a number of times before the vehicle came to a stop this was n the 3rd or 4th time this happened to me and 2 times with my wife driving the SUV this is car was repaired by the dealer in 2018 for the extended warranty.”

“Noticed brakes getting a little soft when trying to brake and having to press on them from a further distance to ensure I would come to a complete stop at a light or sign. There is a constant hissing sound that sounds like air escaping even with the lightest of taps. I had to slam on the brakes all the way down to avoid hitting a dog and they emitted a high pitched squeak audible inside the SUV only. The brakes were working fine up until recently as I hit the 78k mile mark. …”

“I was driving and brakes went to floor no pedal at all. Before this happened the pedal was stiff and hard to push. There are no brake leaks master cylinder is full the brake pads are fine. I was wondering if it had a brake booster issue”

“The brakes on our 2012 Lincoln MKX have without warning failed placing myself and my family at great risk. The sequence of the failure was a very stiff brake pedal immediately followed by a soft pedal that when depressed goes fully to the floor (endpoint of the brakes). In spite of being fully depressed braking is extremely minimal. There is no cabin warning of a system failure and the only method of knowing of this life critical system's failure is needing to use the brakes. …”
