Takata recall. At a slow speed, with the foot on the brake, vehicle accelerates. Speed is generally under 10 mph and has happened during turning...either left or right. Specifically: It happened once turning left into a parking spot; it happened making a slow right hand turn on a street; it happened again during a left hand turn into a parking garage. We took it to a shop and the mechanic drove it. It happened to him as well, but I don't have the specifics for the one incident, but he also experienced the brakes not engaging normally to the point where he had to push extremely hard on the brake to stop the vehicle. The vehicle is still with the mechanic. I'm not sure if he's finding the exact cause of the problem. The master cylinder has been replace so far, but 3 of the 5 or 6 incidents occurred afterwards. We did contact the local Lincoln dealership service department and they told us they have never heard of a similar incident. We just purchased the vehicle second hand and have only owned it for 2 weeks. It started the day after purchase. It's dangerous and we don't know where to turn since we bought the vehicle "as is". will follow up with the mechanic tomorrow, 05/13/2019.
My 2007 Lincoln Navigator may need rail cross-over hose because it contains weak areas. The hose may crack, which could cause a fuel odor and/or fuel leak. This is what I'm smelling outside of my truck.
