2012 Lincoln MKX owner complaints

Hit pothole or depression in road, brake pedal goes to floor. Very mushy. Hard to brake. Sometimes it comes back after several pumps sometimes it doesn't. Too in for repair to Ford and Lincoln dealer, 2 separate occasions. They could not find any fix since issue was not duplicated. Last event almost hit another car, ha d to turn out of the way. Sometimes it happens on rough road surface, washboard surface. Has happened at least a dozen times the past 6 months. Latest 12/15/2019.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 Lincoln mkx. While depressing the brake pedal to the floorboard, the vehicle failed to stop. The driver was able to coast to the side of road. The vehicle was later taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the power brake booster needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The contact stated that service bulletin number: 13n02 was issued. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was approximately 137,000. *dt *dl

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. This obviously places the occupants of the car and those innocently in the car's path at a heightened risk of death due to total brake failure. I have seen that this complaint is not isolated to our Ford product but extremely prevalent to Ford edge and Lincoln mkx vehicles. While Ford is supporting the issue through a

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.

Master cylinder failed at 68k miles 7/2017, pedal went to floor but car did stop.11/2017 ABS pump leaked, causing car to lose brake fluid. Was close to dealership, was able to drive in with limited braking capacity.

I noticed a few days ago when I was in traffic my brakes didn't want to hold. I pressed really hard and only then did my car stopped. I took it to a mechanic and he checked it out and said my brakes looked great. Two days ago I was driving and my car just shut off and the engine light came on. I took it to the Ford dealer to have it checked out. I was told it was a faulty value and that my brakes were fine. When I went to leave the dealer my car shut off in the middle of the highway and my brakes failed I was thankful that there were no cars in front of me. I immediately turned around and went back to the dealer. The manager came and checked it out and he said the booster part of the brakes were defected and my car was still under warranty. The car is now in the shop. I noticed when I chec

My 2012 Lincoln mkx has a very low break pedal and is a result of the (hcu) hydraulic control unit. As my car's break pedal goes to the floor and it makes stopping the car almost impossible at any speed.this is very problematic for this year make and model.I am assuming Ford will wait till someone gets seriously hurt or killed before they recall the problem.buyer beware stay away from this model and the majority of Ford products. Still very confused as to how and why Ford can get away with such a serious breaking problem with no recall since 2012.

Diverside door ajar light on even when door closed, when vehicle stationary or in motion

I was driving down 4 lane divided highway in florida and this time of year there are many citrus hauling semis on the road in fact three or four directly behind me during this occurrence. My vehicle was driving then suddenly without warning started to lose power. Engine was still running but vehicle would not respond while traffic barreling down on me during noon traffic. I had no other choice but to steer off. Had to restart engine and still not responding properly. Finally able to make it into dealership where we were told this vehicle had no recalls and they didn't have time to check. This had happened roughly six times in last six months vehicle has only 42000 miles on it I am unsure of what the proximate cause was please help

My vehicle a 2012 Lincoln mkx with under 32,000 miles sporadically when shifted to park the gear shift does not show the vehicle has been set to park. & a message appears instructing to "shift the vehicle to park"

Driver side door ajar sensor is defective which causes warning light on dash to light, shift into park light to come on and interior lights to stay on. I could live with the annoyance of the door ajar light and shift to park light to come on but the interior lights staying on runs the battery down and could strand my wife and I on the road. The Ford dealer is well aware of this ongoing defect in nearly all their suvs. Rather than fixing the problem (well known problem at the Ford company) they charge $600.00 to $1200.00 to replace the sensor at the dealerships. The idea that they (Ford) are continuing to knowingly sell very expensive cars with defective parts is a terrible disservice to the public. This issue occurs every time I open and shut the drivers side door.

While driving on the highway, brake pedal goes to the floor board. Replaced rotors brake pads and calipers. A couple of weeks later, pedal goes to floorboard again. Replaced master cylinder, but was told it was probably the ABS booster. Needs to be a recall. This is the 60 th complaint. Also back up camera is upside down.

The rear passenger door latch mechanism closed without the door actually being closed. This caused a false positive condition for the "door ajar" warning system. I thought that the door was secure, however the door was in fact not latched to the vehicle. My eight year old daughter was sitting in the seat. Were it not for the perception of my wife who suspected that the door was insecure I would have been driving with a door that would open while the car was moving. This false positive condition is caused by the fact that Ford has placed the sensor that tests for the door being closed on the latch mechanism rather than on the vehicle body. As our circumstances demonstrate the simple fact of the door latch being closed does not insure that the door is actually secured to the vehicle body

DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR SENSOR SAYS CAR DOOR IS OPEN EVEN WHEN DOOR IS FIRMLY SHUT. CAUSES DOORS NOT TO LOCK, INTERIOR AND PUDDLE LIGHTS REMAIN ON, DRAINS BATTERY, DOORS WON'T LOCK EVEN WITH CAR IN MOTION. Severe Rust problems under carriage Air Bag light remains on

While in motion it states that the sensors for collision are blocked. While running but parked the electrical/ electronics that run the entertainment system and touch screen are off and will not turn on. The back hatch buttons do not open or close the rear door properly. The sun roof does not fully open whether parked or in motion.

I have a 2012 Lincoln MKX and a piece of the transmission broke off while I was driving on the highway at night. I was able to get the vehicle to the shoulder but this could have caused a serious accident even resulting in fatalities. I have contacted the dealership but he is not cooperating and says that he is going to do nothing about it. I have an estimate from the repair where I had to have the vehicle towed. There were no type of warning lights at all on the dash board.

While driving on a city street, vehicle did not respond to the accelator- no power to the vehicle and a "wrench" appeared on the dash board. Power train problem. Take vehicle immediately to your Lincoln dealer. The car stopped and I was able to pull over. It seemed to be choking then stopped. Towed it to dealer - they ran diagnostic tests and found "nothing wrong with it". Two weeks later same thing happened. Fortunately I was on a city street again and able to move over. Had this happened n the freeway I am sure there would have been a major accident. Dealer again could find nothing again. Apparently the diagnostic tests are not effective. They recommended replacing the "throttle". That "might" be the problem. I am now very uncomfortable driving this vehicle and stay always in the

When shifting into "park" there is a warning that appears on the dash as "shift to park". The "p" indicator light will not illuminate and does not engage safety features associated with placing the vehicle in "park". This also causes the display to stay on and drains the battery if not corrected. This is a known issue addressed on tsb 15-0047 but should be a safety recall as it could lead to a stranded motorist.

My 2012 Lincoln mkx is experiencing an issue with the brakes making it almost impossible to stop. The brake pedal is requiring extreme force to stop and goes all the way to the floor, followed by a hissing airy sound. The vehicle was taken to the Lincoln dealer who diagnosed the issue as a brakes and charged me $900. After picking up the vehicle and test driving it, the problem persisted. After re-diagnosing they pointed the finger to a hydraulic control unit. This issue poses great danger and the inability to stop without literally standing and applying force to the brakes. I have had to stop driving the car because when coming to a stop at any speed, the force needed to stop and a couple close calls with ramming in the back of someone, the car is just too dangerous.
