What owners wrote
In december 2013, I took my 2009 lincoln mks to the dealer for service because it occasionally accelerates before slowing down when I apply the brakes. On a different occasion I was behind a car that slowed down then came to a complete stop to avoid hitting a deer. I applied the brakes, my car slowed down and made a weird noise as if the car was trying to start up; instead of coming to a complete stop, it kept going while my foot was on the brakes.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 lincoln mks. While driving 40 MPH, the brakes failed intermittently. The contact had to depress the brake pedal to the floorboard and shift to a lower gear in order to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a repair shop where the brake booster was replaced twice however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for repair. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 73,700.
