2020 Lincoln MKZ 4dr Sedan
turbocharged 245hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 100 mi | This car sat on the lot for 9 months, and the brake rotors were pitted all the way through the rotors, all 4 of them. This is part of lot rot that happens to cars. The battery also had to be replaced. Before you buy a lot car take it to a mechanic to look at the brakes first. |
2012 Lincoln MKZ 4dr Sedan
263-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 62000 mi US $200 |
This vehicle left the Ford Mexican factory missing some of the brake hardware located at the driver front. Hardware designed to spread the two brake disc pads apart was missing. As a result, one of the four front brake pads had excessive wear to the point that it had to be replaced. Since only all four brake pads can be replaced at once, this job turned into a pre-mature front brake job, including new rotors in the front. (Missed out on maybe another 25,000 miles of brakes on the front.) |

Rear brake calipers locked on rotors |
| 40000 mi US $800 |
mushy pedal. flushing cycling the HCU valves didn't fix. nor replacing a caliper. Dealer worked with Lincoln engineers and finally determined the HCU was bad. Replaced and fixed. Lincoln and dealer furnished great customer goodwill on cost |

Car took longer to stop. Could push brake pedal further to floor. Mechanic found rear brake pads completely gone and were cutting into the rotors. Never heard any grinding or sounds when braking. Mechanic replaced brake pads, rotors, and brake brake fluid. Also oil change and wiper blades replaced. |

2007 Lincoln MKZ 4dr Sedan

Pedal pressure poor - dealer replaced brake master cylinder and bleed air from brake lines. When ABS engaged after repair was made a few days later, brake pedal lost pressure again... |
| 165000 mi US $250 |
Low brake pedal likely due to stuck valve in ABS Hydraulic Control Unit. Replaced with salvage HCU (since part costs $800 new). This job would have easily been over $1000 if shop hadn't under-quoted labor and used brand new part. |

Brake pedal would go to the floor under moderate braking after the ABS system activated. After sitting for a time system returned to normal. The abs HCU was replaced which has so far solved the problem. |

the calipers were stuck, causing the transmission not to shift correctly, the calipers were replaced. |
