Car (93,000 miles) was operating fine, no check engine nor any other lights. I go into pharmacy come back out get in car to shift gears into drive and I notice the brake pedal sink to floor. As I am driving I notice that when braking it continues to take a longer distance to stop (brake light comes on). I recently had a spinal fusion so my safety and others was put into jeopardy. There was no waring of potential problems and I regularly have the car maintenance with no indication of needing any work done. I noticed all brake fluid was gone so I refilled hoping for the best but the fluid leaked out of the front passenger side brake line causing the fluid to be sprayed everywhere. Since, the problem happened so suddenly I checked for any brake problems concerning my vehicle type and I found that it has a recall for this problem. This has been an inconvenience due to being my only source of transportation, I need to get my meds, recovering from back surgery, now this!

Was backing down a sloped paved driveway when the break pedal went almost to the floor and could barely stop. Inspected and found the left front brake hose split/ruptured and leaking brake fluid. The rupture was on the top side of the hose where it connects to the metal brake line.

The contact owns a 2013 Lincoln Mkz. While driving approximately 30 mph during inclement weather conditions, the windshield wipers failed to properly adjust to the desired speed level. In addition, the brake peal traveled abnormally to the floorboard when depressed and the steering wheel required excessive force in order to maneuver the vehicle. The contact also stated that the vehicle failed to shift gears properly and failed to drive over 35 mph. The speedometer failed to read properly the accurate reading levels. The vehicle was towed to the dealer but the failure was unable to be replicated. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 15V250000 (steering) and 13V594000 (power train). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.
