| 2007 | SERVICE BRAKES | OUR VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR END CRASH WHILE STOPPED AT A PEDESTRIAN CROSS WALK. THE VISUAL DAMAGE TO OUR LINCOLN MKX WAS THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND REAR BUMPER. THE NON-VISUAL DAMAGE WAS THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER. THE POWER SURGE FROM THE REAR END IMPACT WHILE THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED CAUSED THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER TO FAIL. BOTH MY MECHANIC AND THE LOCAL FORD DEALER CONFIRM THAT THE FAILURE OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS CAUSED BY THE DAMAGE RELATED TO THE REAR END IMPACT IN THE ACCIDENT. THE LOCAL FORD DEALER HAS SEEN MULTIPLE VEHICLES BRAKE POWER BOOSTERS FAIL DUE TO REAR END COLLISIONS YET THE INSURANCE COMPANY DENIED MY CLAIM FOR REPAIR TO THIS SYSTEM. THE FAILURE OF THIS SYSTEM IS A VERY HAZARDOUS CONDITION AS IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO BRAKE THE VEHICLE WITH OUT THIS SYSTEM WORKING CORRECTLY. *TR |
| 2010 | SERVICE BRAKES | THE PARKING BRAKE ON MY LINCOLN MKX WILL NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE ON A SLOPE. THE DEALER AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY SAY THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT. ACCORDING TO THEM, THE BRAKE IS DESIGNED TO FUNCTION WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS IN PARK. USING THE TRANSMISSION TO HOLD THE CAR DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE FEDERAL REGULATIONS FOR PARKING BRAKES WHICH ARE QUITE CLEAR. THE REGS STATE THAT: "EVERY COMBINATION OF MOTOR VEHICLES MUST BE EQUIPPED WITH A PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM ADEQUATE TO HOLD THE VEHICLE OR COMBINATION ON ANY GRADE ON WHICH IT IS OPERATED, UNDER ANY CONDITION OF LOADING IN WHICH IT IS FOUND ON A PUBLIC ROAD (FREE OF ICE AND SNOW)." THERE IS NO MENTION OF THE TRANSMISSION OR PARK IN THE REGULATIONS. THE BRAKES ALONE WILL NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE SO THE VEHICLE IS QUITE DANGEROUS. PROPERTY AND PEOPLE WILL BE DAMAGED. THE SAME BRAKING SYSTEM IS USED ON THE FORD EDGE. *TR |
