2012 Lincoln MKX Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Description of the problem	The brakes on our 2012 lincoln mkx have without warning failed placing myself and my family at great risk. The sequence of the failure was a very stiff brake pedal immediately followed by a soft pedal that when depressed goes fully to the floor (endpoint of the brakes). In spite of being fully depressed braking is extremely minimal. There is no cabin warning of a system failure and the only method of knowing of this life critical system's failure is needing to use the brakes. This obviously places the occupants of the car and those innocently in the car's path at a heightened risk of death due to total brake failure. I have seen that this complaint is not isolated to our ford product but extremely prevalent to ford edge and lincoln mkx vehicles. While ford is supporting the issue through a warranty extension given the extreme danger presented by catastrophic brake failure such as this it seems prudent that the nhtsa demand a recall of all vehicles that may be subject to this issue. Our vehicle has only 67,400 miles on it and is garage kept. Please take action to prevent tragedy!
