| Description of the problem | My 2012 lincoln mkx has a very low break pedal and is a result of the (hcu) hydraulic control unit. As my car's break pedal goes to the floor and it makes stopping the car almost impossible at any speed. This is very problematic for this year make and model. I am assuming ford will wait till someone gets seriously hurt or killed before they recall the problem. Buyer beware stay away from this model and the majority of ford products. Still very confused as to how and why ford can get away with such a serious breaking problem with no recall since 2012. |
