On April 21, 2021 I took my car to bob thomas Lincoln, 310 w coliseum blvd, fort wayne, Indiana 46805 phone (260) 482-9876 invoice# 687347 for NHTSA safety recall 19V-904 which calls for the brake system to be pressure flushed with dot 4 brake fluid, this did not happen as when we got the car back the brake system reservoir was over filled and the brake fluid was very rust colored with numerous black particles suspended in the fluid not the clear or translucent fluid that would indicate the fluid had been pressure flushed, I called bob thomas Lincoln and got the big run around.

I came to a stop on the side of a grocery storeand applied the brake before turning the car off. The next thing I K new the car was headed toward wall. The car hit the wall B with force that employed my air bag.and damaged the front of my car. This is not the only incident I have had with the brakes. I always try to drive a car length from the car in front of me for fear of the brakes malfuncting....

The traction control light comes on all the time. When you take off the car is gutless no power. Until you hit traction control off. Sometimes does it after. Bit. Someone almost hit me pulling out from the gas station last night again, due to no power! it also messes with the shifting due to the traction control ive put everything into my car. This is a huge problem due to the fact it can mess with the transmission and engine throwing off the timing. This should be recalled, ive seen many people complaining about the exact samething. Then there's the brakes which are new but yet the pedal has to be pushed almost to the floor to come to complete stop.

Recieved recall notice in January 2020 indicating parts availability by the end of first quarter. Still waiting, dealer is stone walling information. Complaint #111321247 filed and still no contact from Lincoln or additional information. When ABS operates, braking is almost non existent and takes several days for the brake pedal travel to come back to normal. Braking does not appear to be normal!!! stopping on snow.

Ford is recalling my vehicle under 19S54. Ford knows of 15 crashes related to this problem but the recall notice says the vehicle is safe to drive until the parts are available. How can the vehicle be safe to drive if Ford knows of 15 crashes related to the issue? Ford should supply a rental car until they are able to fix the problem.

  • 62,700 miles
Brake peddle goes to the floor after ABS is activated. In my case trying to stop in the snow. This is the second time this has happened. First time with 51318 miles, second with 62700 miles. The internet in full of people complaining about the anti-lock brake pump failing which causes the brake peddle to go to the floor. I have another to add to that list. With this being a $1000+ fix and seeing how many have had this problem it is understandable why we believe this should be a recall.
