2007 LINCOLN MKX Complaints

TAKATA RECALL - FOR THREE WEEKS NOW, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR ON MY LINCOLN MKX'S PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AFTER GETTING THE NOTIFICATION FROM LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY + MY SAFETY RECALL NUMBER. ALL FOUR OF THE LINCOLN FORD DEALERSHIPS NEAR ME IN WASHINGTON ARE EITHER (1) NOT CALLING ME BACK, OR (2) HAVE A WAIT LIST OF CUSTOMERS THAT IS 450 OWNERS DEEP (EVERGREEN LINCOLN FORD)!!! THAT IS A TWO YEAR WAITLIST. THIS RECALL SOUNDS SERIOUS, BUT IT SEEMS THE DEALERSHIPS AROUND ME HAVE ZERO INCENTIVE OR DESIRE TO FIX A POTENTIALLY DEADLY DEFECT IN THE AIRBAG. MAYBE BECAUSE IT IS FREE? I'M UNSURE BUT I WANTED TO FORMALLY LOG THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE ALL OF THE VIDEOS, LETTERS, MESSAGES FROM LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY STATE THIS DEFECT IS VERY DANGEROUS, BUT THE DEALERSHIPS DONT CARE. IT'S TERRIFYING THAT MYSELF, MY FAMILY, MY CHILDREN, OR FRIENDS COULD DIE BECAUSE OF SHRAPNEL THROWN OUT BY THIS DEFECTIVE AIRBAG SHOULD THERE BE AN ACCIDENT.

THE TAKATA RECALL IS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING AND UNFORTUNATELY LINCOLN OFFERS NO SOLUTION TO THE CUSTOMER AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY THE COMPANY . I HAVE RECEIVED LETTER AFTER LETTER WARNING ME THAT CORROSION OF THE FUEL TANK IS DEFECTIVE AND DIRECTIONS TO TAKE THE TO A LINCOLN DEALER. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER OVER 3 TIMES AND EVERYTIME ITS A DIFFERENT EXCUSE AS TO WHY NOTHING CAN BE DONE. I SMELL GAS FUMES ALL THE TIME AND HAVE SEEN VISIBLE RUST ON THE FUEL TANK. I RECEIVED LETTERS SAYING I WOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE A TEMPORARY RENTAL AND AS USUAL EVERY RENTAL IS ALREADY OUT WITHIN 100 MILES OF ME. I CALLED LINCOLN AND ASKED IF THERE ARE ANY NEAR NEW YORK A METROPOLITAN AREA AND NONE WHAT SO EVER CAN BE FOUND. SO IN ENDING I HAVE A ROLLING DEATH TRAP THAT CAN POTENTIALLY IGNITE IN FLAMES OR SERIOUSLY INJURE IF NOT KILL ANYONE WHO SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE HELP HOWEVER POSSIBLE AS THIS IS A COMPLETE LACK OF ATTENTION FROM THE COMPANY.
