I tried to start my car this morning. It would not start. There was a loud popping noise, the headlights started flashing and a red box popped up on the control panel with the words brake failure. It was fine yesterday. There is a recall on the brake hoses. I called the dealership I bought the car from, Oxmoor Ford, Louisville, Ky and they said they don-??t service Lincoln products anymore and referred me to Bill Collins Ford. I called them this morning and they haven-??t called me back. I do have AAA, so I can have the car towed to the dealership. I need my car, what do I do?

I just had my state inspection in Jan. On 3.28.20, I got into the car, started it. I placed the car in reverse, pushed on the brake pedal as I park on a slight incline. I felt a resistance and the pedal went to the floor. The vehicle did stop. Unsure of what happened, I put it in park and I applied the emergency brake. As I was partially in traffic put it in drive to go forward and used the emergency brake again, put it in park. Tried brake pedal again, it pumped to nor malfunctioned position. Thinking it was a system glitch, I tried again. When I pushed the brake this time to place it in reverse, it went to the floor again. Turned car off and exited to look. Saw brake fluid on the ground around the front passenger tire. Called for a flat bed tow. It went to pep boys. They said the front passenger brake hose had bubbled and split. I requested they check all the hoses. The front driver also had a bubble defect. They replaced both. I am thankful it happened as it did because I go down a steep, downhill mountain back road to go home. They made the repairs and checked everything in the system, all else is well. They gave me the hoses because they said for the mileage and age, this should not have happened. Nothing was noted at the time of inspection either, at the same place. I found no recall or bulletin on this. It needs investigating before there is a tragedy.

This car becomes uncontrollable on a snow road. It can't make a turn when you need it. It goes very unstable on a straight road. I wasn't able to stop on a red light, and I wasn't able to make a left turn, twice on one 12 miles trip. First I drove with little speed no more than 25 miles an hour, after, on second intersection I stayed on a red light and started my turning from 0 speed.
