Brake failure. Pedal drops, especially when ABS is activated. Dealer diagnosed ABS control module and HCU hydraulic leak. Parts for this are on back order per dealer leaving me with a dangerous driving situation or inability to use my vehicle. No warning lamp or message displays. The fact that the parts to fix a major safety item are not available is unacceptable.

Noticed for the last year or two that the buttons on my air and best turn on without to touch any button and will not power off also the windows will fog while driving. If heat is on the buttons will dial to air conditioning which causes foggy windows while on busy interstate. Also noticed there are several complaints on the internet from others who experience similarities of what is call ghost buttons. This also send sensor into a frenzy and can cause the car to over heat without warning happen to me twice.

The HVAC and PCM needed the VIN number recoded?? Two hours of labor at a cost of $385. Dollars. Reason is heat would blow cold air on drivers side and heat on passagem side. Dealer said the vehicle VIN number needed to be corrected in both the HVAC and PCM modules.. Dealer said it is a glitch? Vehicle is used regularly and the cabin air filter had just been changed by the dealer when problem started.

When you hit the gas pedal you lose all acceleration. You have to drift to a complete stop, turn the car off and then restart it. Have almost been hit multiple times and once on the highway traveling about 50 MPH. Thankfully traffic was not heavy and I was able to get my car stopped and restarted before the possibility of someone running into us. There was no shoulder to pull off on because of construction. It was terrifying. It happens randomly and there is no warning as to when. A vehicle in this condition is not safe to drive and lincoln seems to not know what the problem is so they send people home in their defective vehicles because as they say they can't get the problem to duplicate so they told me that there is nothing wrong with my car and sent me home now twice. Trust me there is something wrong with my car and many others and it is a huge safety hazard!!!

When the air condition is on it is cool for a while then the heat is on and will not go back to air condition. Same problem with the heat it is warm for a while and then the air condition comes on. Also, I have had warm air on the passenger side and cool air on the drivers side at the same time.

I was driving on interstate 69 in houston, texas when I feel lt like the brake petal was hard to push and also heard a sound from the dash. This terrified me so I got off the freeway and immediately looked up brake check location to go get the brakes checked. I found one 8 miles away and drove there and explained to a technician what had happen. The technician got into my lincoln and stepped on the brake pedal and said it's going all the way down to the floorboard and hard to push. And he asked me if it felt harder to push. I told him yes. He checked the brakes out and told me it was the brake booster. He said with only 41,700 miles he himself would take it back to the dealership. We don't live in houston, and we were on the way home from houston after my husband having surgery and I needed to get him home. We had no choice but to drive home. I drove in the middle lane at 55 MPH and keeping a distance in front of me. When I would use the brake I would have to start braking way ahead when someone would cut I front if me because the brakes were barely working. I babied the brakes all our 4 hour drive home. Please inform me what can be done. This should not be happening to a vehicle with only 41,700 miles. We bought it used in 2017 after hurricane harvey. I'm thinking there was a recall on the braking system and it was never done by the prior owners and they decided to sell it. This should apply to the lemon law. Because we were sold a defective vehicle. We could have been killed driving on a busy interstate in houston tx. Terrifying driving home. I
