Problem overview

Some Lincoln MKZ owners report experiencing intermittent brake loss, which may temporarily be resolved by restarting the vehicle. This issue can present as a loss of pedal travel when pressing the brake pedal, leading to erratic brake behavior, such as the anti-lock system engaging unexpectedly. While restarting the vehicle might reset the system and restore normal brake function temporarily, it is crucial for owners to seek professional assistance to diagnose and address the underlying cause to ensure the safety and reliability of the braking system. Regular maintenance and inspections are essential for identifying and rectifying potential brake-related issues to prevent safety hazards on the road.
