2009 Lincoln MKS

The brakes keep failing on my 09 Lincoln mks. It has happen 4 times. Each time 4 different shops said the brake booster, abs system or master cylinder is bad. Have replaced each time and it will last 6 months and it the brakes will go bad again. A few times I was in traffic and couldn’t stop until the last minute luckily I haven’t ran into anyone yet . That’s a very scary situation. Yes I have took to a dealer and independent service centers. No it haven’t been inspected by manufacture no more than the dealership I got it from. No warnings or anything other than the brake paddle going all the way to then floor. I’ve also had problems with the sway bar. They have been replaced twice. I have been on many forums and even people I have ran into say their Lincoln is doing the same exact thing. Please we need answers

Water pump failure.

AS I WAS DRVING THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WITH NO WARNING OR NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE MOTOR WAS BLOWN AT 86,000 MILES AFTER BUYING IT AT 66,000 MILES FROM LEXUS OF LINCOLN. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THEY COLD NOT DO ANYTHING AND NOW BEING STUCK WITH A $6000 LOAN ON A VEHICLE THAT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO DRIVE.

I GOT IN MY VEHICLE 1 MORNING AND NOTICED KNOCKING ONCE I STARTED IT. A VERY LIGHT KNOCK. I IMMEDIATELY KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I CHECKED AND CHANGED MY OIL. THE OIL WAS MILKY AND I SUSPECTED THAT COOLANT WAS BEING MIXED WITH OIL. I HAVE ALWAYS GOT MY OIL CHANGED WHEN REQUIRED. MY CAR HAS NEVER RAN HOT. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY HOME DRIVEWAY. PRIOR TO HEARING THE KNOCKING MY VEHICLE WAS FINE.

STEERING WHEEL WONT ADJUST AND WILL NOT MOVE AND THERE IS A LOUD CLICKING NOISE WHEN YOU START VEHICLE.

I SEE LINCOLN MKZ HAVE RECALLS ON SEAT BELT TENSIONER. WELL MY LINCOLN MKS HAS A SEAT BELT TENSIONER THAT NEEDS REPLACEMENT. HAVE YOU HAD ANYONE COMPLAIN ABOUT LINCOLN MKS FOR THAT PROBLEM.

FAULTY DOOR LOCKS : THE DOORS WILL NOT UNLOCK USING THE KEY FOB ON MKS MODEL IN WEATHER TEMPERATURES ABOVE 70 DEGREES AND IT POSES A SAFETY HAZARD IF CHILDREN ARE IN THE CAR. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO UNLOCK THE CAR USING THE FOB OR KEYLESS ENTRY THE FEEDBACK IS A RAPID UNLOCK/RE-LOCK, SIMILAR TO A JACKHAMMER. THE VEHICLE IS IN STATIONARY MODE IN PARKED .
