NHTSA Complaint #10599174 — 2009 LINCOLN MKX

BRAKES ACTIVATE WHEN TURNING AND I PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL ONE YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THIS CAR , I NOTICED THE BRAKES WOULD ACTIVE WHEN I AM MAKING A RIGHT TURN.IT WAS EITHER RAINING OR BEGINNING TO SNOW. THE CAR WOULD BRAKE AS I WAS MAKING A TURN WHILE I GIVING IT GAS TO TURN. HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 TIMES WHILE I WAS TURNING ON A MAIN ROAD. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LIFE THREATENING EVENT. IMAGINE A CAR COMING AT YOU AND YOUR GAS PEDAL IS NOT RESPONDING WHILE AT THE SAME TIME YOUR CAR IS BRAKING. A VERY SCARY SCENARIO. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID BRAKES NEED CALIBRATION AND THAT I NEEDED NEW BRAKES. I SAID SURE.I ASKED IS THAT NORMAL FOR A CAR TO DO THAT WHEN BRAKES WEAR OUT . THEY SAID NO AND TESTED THE & FOUND NO ISSUES. I PAID FOR THE BRAKE REPLACEMENTS. 3 MONTHS GO BY AND THE SAME THING. TOOK BACK TO DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE BUT THE BRAKES WERE FINE. I STRESSED THE PROBLEM OF MOISTURE( RAIN & SNOW) WHEN THIS OCCURS. THIS OCCURS WHEN I FIRST START DRIVING THE CAR UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS. HAPPENS ONCE AND THEN I AM FINE FOR THE OF THE DRIVE. THIS KEEPS HAPPENING TO ME. I HAVE CONTACTED THE LINCOLN HEADQUARTERS & ALL I HEAR IS TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. BUT NO SOLUTION. I EVEN FOUND PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON GOOGLE AND PRINTED THEM & SHOWED TO THE DEALER. I DID NOT GET ANY HELP. ALL I GOT WAS THAT WE CANT DUPLICATE IT.. ON JUNE 15, 16 AND 17 2014 THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED 6 DIFFERENT TIMES. I WILL CONTRACTING THE DEALER SOON. THIS IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION. *TR
