What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 lincoln mkz. While the contact's wife was driving and attempting to apply the brakes, the brake pedal lowered slowly. The contact stated that his wife struck a flower pot on a nearby lawn and had to apply the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. There were no injuries. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not towed. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who repaired the master cylinder, but the failure recurred.
The vehicle remained without brakes while driving. One week and I have no news. Please call lincoln and how the car carries for 8 years, they did not want to do anything when it is something of safety and life.
