NHTSA Complaint #10369749 — 2010 LINCOLN MKT

WITHIN WEEKS OF GETTING MY 2010 LINCOLN MKT THE BRAKES WERE ACTING STRANGE AND MAKING A GRINDING SOUND. I FELT THAT THE STOPS WERE GETTING DANGEROUSLY UNRESPONSIVE. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND AFTER PUTTING 50 MILES ON MY CAR WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I TOOK MY CAR BACK AND THE BRAKE PROBLEM GOT WORSE AND EVERYONE WHO RODE IN MY CAR WOULD COMMENT ON THE NOISE MY CAR MADE AS I APPLIED PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES. I TOOK IT BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT ANOTHER MODEL HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT THEY WERE JUST GOING TO REPLACE THE BRAKES. AFTER A FEW DAYS THE NOISES AND MY DISCOMFORT DRIVING THE CAR BEGAN AGAIN. I ALSO KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS THE SAME CAR WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM, THAT LINCOLN HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REMEDY. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM, I HOPE THAT NONE OF US ARE HURT DUE TO WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS. *TR
