What owners wrote
The contact owns a 2009 Lincoln MKZ. The contact stated that while parked in a semi-truck parking lot, another driver was reversing where she was blocking, and the contact then attempted to avoid the collision and drive forward. The accelerator pedal was depressed however, the vehicle accelerated excessively, and the brake pedal was then depressed but failed to respond. Upon a second attempt, the brake pedal went to the floorboard, accompanied by an abnormal vibration.
Took my car in for recall #19v904 said could not fix because the ECU was also bad, it had just went out my problem is that ford will not fix the recall if I don't pay them 777.00 to fix the ECU first, and I thik they should because it's all tied together I.e. The very same system
