| 2009 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | BRAKES AND SUPPORT BRACKETS ARE DEFECTIVE ON THE 2009 LINCOLN MKS...I HAVE HAD THE BRAKE PADS REPLACED TWICE IN THE LAST EIGHT MONTHS AND NOW THEY TELL ME THEY NEED TO INSTALL SPECIAL BRACKETS RELATING TO THE BRAKES. I HAD A SERIOUS PROBLEM TRYING TO STOP MY VEHICLE LATE LAST YEAR IN 2009 AND REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG BUT DID CHANGE MY BRAKE PADS SHORTLY THEREAFTER FOR THE SECOND TIME...NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO EXPEDITE THE PARTS FROM THE FACTORY WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS...I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A MAJOR RECALL AND ALL PERSONS DRIVING 2009 MKS VEHICLES SHOULD BE ALERTED TO THE DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR |
