| Description of the problem | I have a 2009 lincoln mkx where the brakes were so stiff that i could hardly stop my vehicle. This is such a huge safety issue. This issue has been covered under ford for certain vin #'s but not under my 2009 vin number. I can't understand how this is covered by them for some cars and not others? Evidently it will take injury or death for ford to realize that this isn't something that should be over looked in some vins and not others. This was a cost of close to $850 which in my opinion should be covered by ford! Have a 2009 lincoln mkx where the brakes were so stiff that i could hardly stop my vehicle.
