| 2010 | SERVICE BRAKES | IN A STOPPING SITUATION TODAY I HEARD A LOUD POP AND THEN LOST ALL BRAKE PRESSURE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THEY FOUND A RUBBER FLEX HOSE RIGHT OFF THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD BLOWN OUT. THIS IS IN AN AREA THAT IS NOT VERY EASY TO GET TO NOR IS IT NEAR THE BOTTOM WHERE SALT AND ROAD DEBRIS CAN GET TO. MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY BY 2,391 MILES. I CALLED THE FORD LINCOLN MERCURY HOTLINE AND THEY SAID I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NO RECALLS ON THIS SITUATION. I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A BAD ACCIDENT OR HIT A CHILD IT WAS VERY SCARY. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED DUE TO THE NATURE OF LOSING BRAKES IS NOT SAFE. HOPEFULLY THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO ANYONE WHERE THERE IS AN INJURY. THIS SHOULD BE CHECKED FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. *TR |
| 2011 | SEATS | THE 2011 MKZ FRONT SEATS HAVE A HARD BLOCK I THINK IS THE BOX FOR THE SEAT CONTROLS THAT IF YOU SIT IN IT FOR MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES STARTS HURTING THE BACK OF YOUR LEGS. IT ACTUALLY TAKES YOUR ATTENTION AWAY BECAUSE IT IS SO UN COMFORTABLE YOU ARE ALWAYS ADJUSTING THE WAY YOU ARE SITTING. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND THE SERVICE TECH FELT IT AND TOLD ME THAT HE THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG TOO. HE CALLED ME THE NEXT DAY AND TOLD ME THAT THE SEAT WAS THE STANDARD AND THAT IS THE WAY THEY WERE MADE THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THEY COULD DO. WHEN I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER TO PICK UP MY MKZ I WENT INTO THE SHOW ROOM TO FEEL THE SEATS IN THE NEW MKZS AND THEY ARE ALL THE SAME. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY SAID THE SEAT WAS STANDARD BUT IF THEY GET ENOUGH COMPLAINTS THEY MIGHT DO SOMETHING. THIS IS THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE SEAT I HAVE EVER HAD, TAKING A LONG TRIP IS NOT PLEASANT. *TR |
