2008 LINCOLN MKX Complaints

MY 2008 LINCOLN MKX STARTS CUTTING OUT AND CHUGGING AT THE SPEED OF 45 MPH YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT GAS TO GET IT UP OVER 50ISH TO COME OUT OF IT. IT WILL DO AGAIN AT TIME OUT ON THE INTERSTATE AROUND THE SPEED OF 60 MPH BUT AT THIS TIME THE ABS AND SKID LIGHT COME ON. I'M AFRAID WITH HAVING MY GRANDDAUGHTERS IN THE CAR THAT SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN WHEN I'M OUT ON THE ROAD WITH THEM. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT AN ARM AND A LEG AND WILL NOT JUST GIVE A SUGGESTION OR ADVICE, THE TRANSMISSION SHOP PUT A MACHINE ON IT BUT CAN'T DETECT ANY CERTAIN CAUSE.

TAKATRA RECALL: STILL WAITING ALMOST A YEAR FOR THE FIX TO THE AIR BAG. FORD/LINCOLN AT CORPORATE AND LOCAL DEALER LEVELS HAVE SAME STORY, NO FIX AVAILABLE AND NO TIME LINE FOR WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE, THIS IS REALLY GETTING OLD, TIRED OF THE CONTINUING RUN AROUND. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT AT LEAST 5 TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM DRIVING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS VEHICLE AND NOT ABLE TO SELL THE VEHICLE WITH AN OUTSTANDING SAFETY RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN MARCH 2017. CALLED THE DEALER WHO ADVISED NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I FOLLOWED UP AGAIN IN OCTOBER OF 2017 AND WAS TOLD NO PARTS AVAILABLE. WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO HAVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE REMEDIED?

REMEDY OWNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED BY MAIL AND INSTRUCTED TO TAKE THEIR VEHICLE TO A FORD OR LINCOLN DEALER TO HAVE THEIR PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED. THERE WILL BE NO CHARGE FOR THIS SERVICE.

I AM ALARMED THAT NEARLY TWO YEARS AFTER A RECALL THAT THE LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY HAS YET TO SECURE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE AIR BAG INFLATOR. THEIR REMEDY IS JUST DON'T USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS NOT REALLY A SOLUTION.

TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2016 AND AS OF YET FORD HAS NOT NOTIFIED ME THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.
