2007 Lincoln MKX Complaints

MY 2007 MKX ONLY HAS 135,000 MILES SINCE PURCHASE WE'VE HAD TO CHANGE FRONT AXLES, CALIPERS, 2 SETS OF LIFETIME BRAKES BUT MOST CONCERNING IS THE PTU HAS TO BE CHANGED. AS I WAS LOOKING INTO PTU INFORMATION I HAVE CAME ACROSS DETAILED INFORMATION THAT THE PTU IS A KNOWN ISSUE THROUGH THE MANUFACTURER SO I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THERE'S NO RECALL ON THIS ONGOING ISSUE. I WAS DRIVING AND STARTED HEARING A LOUD METAL THUMPING AND FELT LIKE WHEELS WERE TRYING TO LOCK UP AND WHEN BACKING INTO DRIVEWAY IT STARTED JUMPING.

ONLY 118,000 MILES ALL MY 2007 LINCOLN MKX AND THE TRANSMISSION IS OUT OH, I BOUGHT A LINCOLN BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE A GOOD VEHICLE TO BUY JUST BECAUSE THE NAME I GUESS BUT I GUESS I WAS WRONG BECAUSE YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE A TRANSMISSION OUT AT 118000 MILES.

NO PRESSURE AT ALL ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, RESULTING IN TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKE POWER KNOWN AS VAPOUR LOCK; IN WITCH CALL MY VEHICLE TO CRASH
