 Description of the problemOn july 18, 2019, the brakes on my 2013 mkx suddenly became very stiff with poor braking while driving in town. I immediately took it to a local service center and was informed that there was a safety recall on the 2013 mkx brakes and it was suggested i take it to the local ford dealership. I went directly there (less than 1 mile) it was diagnosed by the service writer to be a defective brake booster (brake pedal stiff, then while pressing the pedal, it went to the floor, and a whistling noise was heard) i had the brake booster replaced the following day, however that was not the only problem. The brakes went from stiff with poor braking ability to absolutely no brakes at all. Informed that the part needed (abs module) is on national backorder-none currently available in the united states. My car is still at the repair shop waiting for the necessary part to complete the brake job. Today's date is august 7, 2019. The part is on emergency order, there is no indication as to when the part will become available. I am stranded without a car. I have read several reports of exactly the same problem with the 2013 lincoln mkx brakes and some were recalled. I was informed that mine was manufactured in may 2013 and the recall only covered those manufactured through march 2013. I seems obvious to me that the problem with the brakes was not resolved at the manufacturing plant, or the exact same issue would not still be occurring. This is a serious safety issue. Do we have to wait till deaths and serious injuries occur before ford company will do the right thing and recall all 2013 lincoln mkx. I had plans to drive myself and 2 grandsons 300 miles to the beach on july 19, we were all disappointed that our vacation had to be cancelled, but i shutter at the thought of driving on the interstate and suddenly having no brakes. Please do the right thing - recall 2013 mkx
