| Description of the problem | 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. |
