Loss of pressure in brakes and fuel foot pedals after hitting a pothole. Pressure was so low in brakes I had to press brake pedal to floor to come to a jerking stop. It felt as if there was no brake at all as it was slow to brake coming to an abrupt stop once pedal floored. I do not have documentation from service center as I have not had it looked at since the issue happened yesterday morning, and I have no police report at this time as there was no crash.

Have owned this 2011 lincoln mkx awd approximately one year. During that time I recall about 4 times during this period, when going from a coasting down the hill mode on surface streets, to placing foot gently on gas pedal as leveling out and or starting up a slight incline, a loud, jerking slam has been heard and felt. Enough each time that I thought I had been rammed from behind by another car only to find there was no car behind me. The car would then continue on as if nothing had happened. The most recent time I encountered the "slam" was the evening of wednedday 4/24/19. This was the same situation as previously noted, when going from a coasting mode to driving with foot lightly on accelerator, a loud slamming noise was heard and felt. Last friday, 4/26/2019 when driving on a 35 MPH zone, it sounded as if something had gotten stuck under the car, sounding like a dragging branch, or a dragging brake caliper. We checked under the car and looked at brakes. Backed car up and heard a faint metal sound, then drove forward and heard the dragging sound again. Rather than risk driving the car further, had it towed to the dealership where it was diagnosed with a a problem with the power take off/transfer case. It will have to be repaired/replaced as a high cost.

Takata recall we were driving down the road all of a sudden the wrench light come on and the speedometer quit working and tire pressure sensor monitor failure light came on. Then RPM picked up to 3000 was loosing power, drove 3 miles to nearest wide spot. Put vehicle in park cut engine off, let it sit , all lights went off , put it in reverse it jerked abnormally hard and when I put it in drive it would not pull out. Vehicle now will not drive forward at all. When we finally got home with our son I looked online to find that this vehicle has done this to other people. I went to you tube and typed in 2008 lincoln mkx and was amazed to find that others have had the same problem with this vehicle and it says its something with a speed sensors for the transmission. There are hundreds of compliants similar to mine. I feel if this were to happen to someone who was driving down the highway it could get them killed. Please look into to this and see if a recall needs done for the safety of everyone. Thanks
