May of 2021 will mark two years since I began having issues with my 2008 lincoln mkz ABS system. Lincoln officially issued a recall about my specific vehicle in january 2020. It is unacceptable for a fix to not yet have been established for this. I cannot sell my car as no one will buy it with the issue and I cannot trade my car for another one because the dealerships cannot sell the trade to a customer due to the recall. I am being held hostage by a car I cannot drive in inclement weather due to the ABS system not functioning properly.

Our vehicle is subject to the federal safety agency recall 19v‑904. In 2020, lincoln stopped repairing vehicles subject to this recall. Unfortunately, my vehicle is suffering from this brake problem and I have lost use of my brakes on several occasions. On june 26, 2020, my brakes failed resulting in a property damage accident. After body damage repair, my brakes have again failed. The local ford dealership finally agreed to examine the vehicle and found that the brake failure was related to the recall. Nevertheless, in addition to the thousands paid to repair mine and the other party's vehicle's damage, I've had to pay the local ford dealership $1093.80 to fix the car. The brake failure is dangerous and potentially deadly. Lincoln's delay in remedying the issue is the direct cause of my car accident.

Very soft brake pedal
My brakes have excessive brake pedal travel with a lot of noise. I took my mkz to the dealer paid for all new brakes 4 months before the recall letter came. I had to return my car 3 times telling them something was not right ! After I received the safety recall notice 19s54/ntsa recall 19v‑904 in jan 20 I was told I could pay for the parts and service because they didn't have the parts to do it ? What ? If I could pay they clearly could make my car safe and fix it with the recall protocol. When I called in april it was due to covid -19, they couldn't get the parts. I was told to wait on a letter, it's now aug.1, way past the late first quarter of 2020. Still driving my car with my child in it hoping the brakes do not cause me to have an accident.
On multiple occasions, I have experienced intermittent issues with the brake pedal. While my foot was on the brake pedal attempting to stop on city streets the pedal would continue to drop down to the floor; I had to apply the emergency brake for the vehicle to stop. No warning lights have ever illuminated as the failure occurred. My VIN confirms parts are not available & I have never been contacted by ford motor company pertaining this recall.

After repairing brakes at my cost many times now they are recalled. I had to replace the lincoln wheels at my cost after researching that many problems were reported. Also with only 65,000 miles on my car my transmission is out. I have had many electrical issues. It is clear that major issues is on the this model year. While driving my transmission failed. I towed the car to dealership and they want to now charge 4400.00 for the transmission. I am out of money with this vehicle and it was clearly poorly manufactured.
