2007 MKZ PURCHASED IN JANUARY 2009 WITH 25,000MILES HAS ALWAYS HAD ISSUE WITH ABS AND CPU FAILURE WHEN ACTIVATED IN MOTION OR EMERGENCY BRAKING. VEHICLE NOW HAS 96,000 MI IN MARCH 2021. LINCOLN MOTOR CO. HAS ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE#: 19V-904, THIRTEEN YEARS LATER/OCT 2020. THE RECALL IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE WHICH HAS ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO SUFFER LONG-TERM DAMAGE TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM. LINCOLN DEALERSHIP HAS ATTEMPTED TO MANAGE THE PROBLEM AT OWNER'S EXPENSE OVER THE YEARS BY REPLACING BRAKE PADS, STILL AT 40% AND ROTORS WHICH HAVE NO GROOVING OR WARPING. APPARENTLY, REPLACING THE PADS AND ROTORS ARE RESTORING THE CALIPER SETTINGS AND HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS WAS PERFORMED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE 13 YR. PERIOD, APPROX. EVERY 4000MILES, AT +1000$ PER SERVICE. AGAIN, THE VEHICLE TRAVELS WHEN BRAKING AND CANNOT PERFORM EMERGENCY STOPS. THE SOLUTION OFFERED AGAIN, TO CONCEAL THE MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT IS TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. 13 YEARS IS A DISGRACEFUL AMO...
