AFTER HITTING BRAKES HARD ON WET SURFACE THE ABS ACTIVATED. FROM THAT POINT ON THE BRAKES WOULD DEPRESS TO THE FLOOR. TRIED TO PUMP UP, BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD STILL DROP TO FLOOR BOARD. AT ONE POINT THE CAR WAS PULLED OVER SINCE THE BRAKES NO LONGER WORKED. HAD MASTER CYL REPLACED, LINES DRAINED. PEDAL STILL SEEMS SOFT. I'VE HAD 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS WORK ON THE BRAKES AND ALL 3 DID SOMETHING DIFFERENT. PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALER.

BRAKES LOSE PRESSURE AND GO TO THE FLOOR, AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL 19S54, BUT THIS CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND THE FORD DEALER IS CHARGING $2000 TO REPAIR IT.

AFTER BRAKING IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS EXCESSIVE TRAVEL WHICH IS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN SAFETY RECALL 19V904000. I CHECKED THE VIN AND THIS VEHICLE IS NOT LISTED AS BEING INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT IT DEFINITELY HAS THE PROBLEM. I SPOKE WITH FORD AND UNLESS THE RECALL INCLUDES THIS VIN THEY WILL NOT REPAIR AS A RECALL, BUT RATHER AT MY EXPENSE. I WAS TRAVELLING IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A 3 LANE HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES PER HOUR AND THE VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME BRAKED HARD CAUSING ME TO BRAKE HARD AS WELL. IT WAS A RAINY MORNING AND THE ABS ACTIVATED AND I FELT THE BRAKE PEDAL SOFTEN AND GO DOWN ABOUT ANOTHER INCH WHERE IT STILL PROVIDED BRAKING BUT I CAN FEEL THAT IT IS LOWER THAN BEFORE AND THERE IS A POINT AT WHICH I CAN FEEL THE BRAKES BUT STILL NEED TO DEPRESS FURTHER TO ACHIEVE GOOD STOPPING. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT THIS HAPPENED. PREVIOUS TIMES THE BRAKES SEEMED OK THE NEXT DAY. THIS TIME I CAN STILL FEEL THAT THERE IS SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT.

I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED SOME TIME AGO ABOUT A SAFETY RECALL FOR MY BRAKES AND A REMEDY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AVAILABLE 'LATE 1ST QUARTER 2020'. IT IS NOT PAST THE 2ND QTR OF 2020 AND STILL NO REMEDY OR NOTIFICATION BY FORD. WHAT IS THEIR HOLD UP?? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM GOES OFF WITH NO INDICATION DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER STOPPED OR MOVING. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT BACK ON IS TURN LIGHTS OFF AND TURN BACK ON BUT IT DOES IT REPEATEDLY PER TRIP. DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF THE CAR IS MOVING OR NOT. TOOK TO DEALER APPROX. THREE TIMES BUT COULD NOT FIND REASON FOR PROBLEM. DEALER SUGGESTED TO REPLACE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT COMPONENT AT A COST OF APPROXIMATE $3000. FIRST THE COST IS EXTREMELY HIGH, SECOND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS NO ANSWER TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. *TR

ONE EVENING I GOT INTO MY CAR AND WAS HEADING HOME FROM WORK WHEN I USED THE BRAKES AND THEY WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I HAD NO BRAKES. THE PART I REPLACED WAS THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE CONTROL UNIT. IT COST ME ALMOST 700.00 TO REPAIR. I HAVE THE PROPER PAPERWORK IF YOU NEED TO SEE THE REPAIR ORDER. PRETTY IRONIC THAT THE RECALL WILL BE COMING OUT BUT THEY SAY MY CAR WASN'T AFFECTED. I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SEVERE ACCIDENT. I AM LOOKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT ON THE MONEY I SPENT. LINCOLN HAS DONE A GREAT JOB WITH ALL OTHER ISSUE THAT HAVE COME UP.THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND I'M SURE YOU WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AND STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT.

THE RADIO BLEW OUT, AFTER LINCOLN INSTALLED THE AN AIRBAG THAT WAS RECALLED. IT'S SOUNDED LIKE A BODY DROP ON THE VEHICLE ALSO THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON.
