All Ford vehicles that I owned over the years, 2002 Taurus, 2009 MKS had brake problems. Nothing dangerous, just not smooth just irritating. MKS front bearing fail.
My 2009 MKS slams on the brakes on it's own at random times. It usually occurs when beginning to accelerate and turning at the same time (as one would do when pulling out of a gas station). It it very hard to duplicate this problem because it occurs at random intervals. It feels very dangerous because the car comes to virtual full stop and I could get crashed from behind. I'm surprised Lincoln doesnt have a recall for this.
one year after i purchased this car , i noticed the brakes would active when i am making a 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.
