| Description of the problem | Brakes activate when turning and i pushing the gas pedal one year after i purchased this car , i noticed the brakes would active when i am making a right turn. It was either raining or beginning to snow. The car would brake as i was making a turn while i giving it gas to turn. Happened at least 3 times while i was turning on a main road. This could have been a life threatening event. Imagine a car coming at you and your gas pedal is not responding while at the same time your car is braking. A very scary scenario. I took it to the dealer. They said brakes need calibration and that i needed new brakes. I said sure. I asked is that normal for a car to do that when brakes wear out . They said no and tested the & found no issues. I paid for the brake replacements. 3 months go by and the same thing. Took back to dealer and they couldn't duplicate but the brakes were fine. I stressed the problem of moisture( rain & snow) when this occurs. This occurs when i first start driving the car under those conditions. Happens once and then i am fine for the of the drive. This keeps happening to me. I have contacted the lincoln headquarters & all i hear is take it to the dealer. But no solution. I even found people with similar problems on google and printed them & showed to the dealer. I did not get any help. All i got was that we cant duplicate it.. On june 15, 16 and 17 2014 this problem has occurred 6 different times. I will contracting the dealer soon. This is a very scary situation. |
