Known issues on the 2014 MKZ. Steering leads the 124 owner complaints on the 2014 MKZ with 26, and 13 complaints reported a crash and 7 an injury. That pattern sits alongside 13 recalls. On certain 2014 MKZ vehicles, the steering wheel retaining bolt could work loose and let the wheel come off while driving; dealers fitted a longer bolt. Certain vehicles in hot, humid areas with salt air could have the brake pedal bumper corrode and fall away, leaving the brake lamps lit. Front brake hoses on certain vehicles could also rupture and leak. Steering, brake hydraulic and brake lamp procedures, specifications, torque values and diagnostics apply.
