LINCOLN MKZ 2008 car safety problem was reported on Nov 18, 2010.LINCOLN MKZ 2008, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS ON MY LINCOLN MKZ ARE LOCATED SO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER AND AT THE SAME HEIGHT THAT I HAVE TWICE EXPERIENCED ACCELERATION INSTEAD OF BRAKING WHEN PUTTING ON THE BRAKES BECAUSE I DID NOT MOVE MY FOOT ENOUGH TO CLEAR THE GAS PEDAL. I HAVE INQUIRED TO MY DEALER ABOUT MAKING AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE BRAKES PEDAL HEIGHT OR SPACING BUT WAS ADVISED THAT THIS COULD NOT BE DONE. THIS DESIGN IS AN "ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN" AND I AM LUCKY THAT IN BOTH INSTANCES I WAS ABLE TO REACT IN TIME TO AVOID ONE. IF THIS HAS NOT ALREADY BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE MANUFACTURER, NHTSA SHOULD DO SO BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR.Mileage was 15700 miles.

THEY LEAK AIR AROUND THE CONTACT OF THE RIM AND TIRE BECAUSE OF THE CORROSION. THIS CONDITION REQUIRES HAVING THE WHEEL TAKEN APART AND CORROSION REMOVED THEN REASSEMBLING THE WHEEL AND RE-BALANCING THE TIRE ASSEMBLY BEFORE RE-INSTALLING BACK ON TO CAR. DEPENDING ON SEVERAL CONDITIONS AS CLIMATE AND TEMPERATURE AND WHEN TIRE ASSEMBLY LAST SERVICED AIR LOSS VARIES FROM 10% TO MORE THAN 30% FROM MANUFACTURER 'S SUGGESTED TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE. I HAVE AVERAGED SERVICING THESE FOUR TIRES AT LEAST 6 TIMES OR MORE A YEAR FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS. I HAVE CONTACTED BOTH THE CAR DEALER AND FORD MOTOR CO. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS UP TO FORD TO PUT OUT A RECALL FOR REPLACEMENT WHEEL. THE DEALER AGREES THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT FORD MOTOR CO. DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS A PROBLEM. I CONSIDER THIS CONDITION A SAFETY VIOLATION NOT TO MENTION THE OUT OF POCKET COST TO CONTINUOUSLY HAVE THESE TIRES REPAIRED. IT AFFECTS MY GAS MILEAGE, TIRE LONGEVITY, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY SAFETY. PLEASE HELP THOSE OF US WITH THIS SITUATION. THANK YOU. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 41000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3LNHM28T08R.

AFTER SPENDING OVER 3,500$ ON NOISES WHILE TURNING AND HAVING REPLACED THE TIRES BECAUSE THE TIRE WAS CONSTANTLY GOING FLAT THE 17" 8 SPOKE MACHINED & PAINTED ALUMINUM WHEEL BEGAN TO CORRODE AND PEEL. TWO OF THE TIRES LEAKED AIR AROUND THE CONTACT OF THE RIM AND TIRE BECAUSE OF THE CORROSION. THIS CONDITION REQUIRES HAVING THE WHEEL TAKEN APART AND CORROSION REMOVED THEN REASSEMBLING THE WHEEL AND RE-BALANCING THE TIRE ASSEMBLY BEFORE RE-INSTALLING BACK ON TO CAR. I HAVE AVERAGED SERVICING THESE TIRES FROM ONCE A WEEK TO ONCE A MONTH DEPENDING ON THE TIME OF YEAR FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS AND HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE MORE TIRES IN ORDER COMPENSATE FOR THE WARE ON THE TIRE WHEN HAVING TO DRIVE WITH UNDER INFLATED TIRES WHILE TRYING TO SAFELY NAVIGATE TO THE NEAREST AIR PUMP SOMETIMES ON A DAILY BASIS! THE CAR DEALER IS AWARE. THIS IS A SAFETY VIOLATION!! THE OUT OF POCKET COST TO CONTINUOUSLY HAVE THESE TIRES REPLACED, REPAIRED. THE POOR GAS MILEAGE HAS BROUGHT THE ACTUAL COST OF THIS CAR UPWARDS OF 43,000.00:(.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3LNHM28T88R. Lincoln Mkz 2008 problem was reported in PORT JERVIS, NY. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.
