I tool my car in for a recall, they said they could not fix the recall cux it was too rusted. They said the wouldn't even put it on a lift cuz of the rust, however it was just on a lift a week ago at an auto shop. Also when I dropped off my car the air conditioner blower worked, I go to pick it up and turn it on and nothing, I call and ask and they tell me they only touched the steering wheel, I said to him then why was power cux to my vehicle? You didn't disconnect the battery or anything he said no, however when I left the car with then it was on 9.83 fm radio and when I got it back it was on a 500 station from am radio. So I know power was cut somehow. I need to know what to do. I can't keep driving with my brakes like this.

- What is wrong
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2006-2010 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, Lincoln Zephyr and MKZ vehicles. The valves within the ABS Hydraulic Control Units (HCU) may react with brake fluids containing specific corrosion preventative additives. This reaction may cause the valves to not close properly.
- Risk
- If the valves do not properly close, additional brake pedal travel may be required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Ford will notify owners, and dealers will flush the brake system with DOT 4 fluid and install a new brake fluid reservoir cap. In addition, the HCU will be tested to detect a possible stuck valve condition, replacing the HCU as necessary. All services will be performed free of charge. The recall began April 1, 2021. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1‑866‑436‑7332. Ford's number for this recall is 19S54.

On april 21, 2021 I took my car to bob thomas lincoln, 310 w coliseum blvd, fort wayne, indiana 46805 phone (260) 482-9876 invoice# 687347 for the federal safety agency safety recall 19v‑904 which calls for the brake system to be pressure flushed with dot 4 brake fluid, this did not happen as when we got the car back the brake system reservoir was over filled and the brake fluid was very rust colored with numerous black particles suspended in the fluid not the clear or translucent fluid that would indicate the fluid had been pressure flushed, I called bob thomas lincoln and got the big run around.

I always try to drive a car length from the car in front of me for fear of the brakes malfuncting....
The traction control light comes on all the time. When you take off the car is gutless no power. Until you hit traction control off. Sometimes does it after. Bit. Someone almost hit me pulling out from the gas station last night again, due to no power! It also messes with the shifting due to the traction control ive put everything into my car. This is a huge problem due to the fact it can mess with the transmission and engine throwing off the timing. This should be recalled, ive seen many people complaining about the exact samething. Then there's the brakes which are new but yet the pedal has to be pushed almost to the floor to come to complete stop.
Recieved recall notice in january 2020 indicating parts availability by the end of first quarter. Still waiting, dealer is stone walling information. Complaint #111321247 filed and still no contact from lincoln or additional information. When ABS operates, braking is almost non existent and takes several days for the brake pedal travel to come back to normal. Braking does not appear to be normal!!! Stopping on snow.
There's been a recall on the valve that operates the breaks ford says it's unsafe to drive and can't give me an answer when these parts will be in. Now I sit here with a car I cannot drive.
