NHTSA Complaint #11140325 — 2008 LINCOLN MKX

ABOUT A MONTH AGO, WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE MY ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL PANEL LIGHTS LIT UP WITH SEEMINGLY NO INSTIGATOR, THEY STAYED ON UNTIL I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE THEN WENT AWAY. FROM THEN ON THEY WOULD INTERMITTENTLY POP ON WHICH I EVENTUALLY DISCOVERED WAS MOSTLY ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS GOING OVER 60MPH. ABOUT A WEEK AFTER THE LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON, I NOTICED OCCASIONALLY WHEN I WOULD TRY TO STOP MY VEHICLE THE BRAKES WOULD LOCK UP AS IF I WAS DRIVING ON ICE. I WOULD HAVE TO PUMP MY BRAKES MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET THEM TO ENGAGE WHICH IS VERY NERVE WRECKING. THAT PARTICULAR ISSUE HAS HAPPENED A 2-3 TIMES A WEEK SINCE THEN. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN AND HAD THE SEAL REPLACED WHICH DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE AND NOW I'M BEING TOLD THAT THIS IS SUCH A COMMON ISSUE AMONG LINCOLN MKX'S, FORD EDGES, AND FORD FUSIONS THAT THEY HAVE "UPDATED" AXLES THAT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. I AM GETTING THESE NEW AXLES TO HOPEFULLY FIX THIS ISSUE BUT THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN THAT HAS MADE ME NERVOUS TO EVEN PUT MY SON IN THE CAR.
