TAKATA RECALL NOT BEING IMPLIMENTED WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REPAIR TO BE COMPLETED.SINCE DECEMBER OF 2017. LINCOLN HAS NOT PROVIDED ANY SORT OF COMPLETION DATE.

TAKATA RECALL: OVER TWO YEARS FOR A SAFETY RECALL OF THIS IMPORTANCE IS UNACCEPTABLE! LOCAL FORD DEALER DID NOT EVEN HAVE THE COURTESY TO RETURN MY CALL. SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED LAST QUARTER OF 2017, THEN SECOND OR THIRD QUARTER OF 2018, STILL NOTHING. NEXT WE WILL BE TOLD THE CAR IS TOO OLD TO BE FIXED. PARTS WILL BE OBSOLETE. WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF PATIENCE.

COMPLAINT REGARDING SAFETY RECALL 16S26 / NHTSA RECALL 16V-384. I WAS FIRST NOTIFIED BY LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY OF THIS RECALL VIA A POSTAL LETTER IN JULY 2016. UPON BEING NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL I HAVE ASKED THE LINCOLN DEALER SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE 2 YEAR PERIOD THE RECALL HAS BEEN IN PLACE WHEN THE PARTS, ETC. WILL BE AVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE NEEDED CORRECTION. EACH TIME I HAVE RECEIVED THE RESPONSE THAT THE PARTS OF STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR 2 YEARS WITHOUT BEING REMEDIED BY LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY DUE TO THE PARTS NOT BEING AVAILABLE. AN AIRBAG DEFECT IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WAITING 2 YEARS FOR THE CORRECT PART TO REMEDY THE ISSUE IS UNACCEPTABLE IN MY OPINION.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LINCOLN MKX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V024000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED IN JANUARY OF 2017.

THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. I AM FILING A FORMAL COMPLAINT DUE TO THE FACT THAT ME AND MY FAMILY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RIDE SAFELY IN OUR LINCOLN MKX FOR APPROXIMATELY A YEAR NOW EVERY TIME I CALL THERE IS NO ESTIMATED DATE TO GET THE AIRBAGS. HOW LONG DOES THE MANUFACTURER HAVE UNTIL THEY HAVE TO DEEM THE UNSAFE ENOUGH TO TOTAL THE VEHICLE AND REIMBURSE US TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE? THEY MUST DEEM IT UNSAFE ENOUGH TO TELL US NIT'S NOT DRIVABLE WITH PASSENGERS. AND T'S NOT FEASIBLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE RENTAL OPTION DUE TO HAVING TO LET THE CAR SIT IN THE DRIVEWAY, AND THE INCONVENIENCE OF HAVING TO RE-FILE THE RENTAL PAPERWORK EVERY MONTH I HAVE THE RENTAL THOUGH THE DEALERSHIP. IS MY CAR SAFE TO DRIVE?

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LINCOLN MKX. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. JOE COOPER LINCOLN OF EDMOND (616 W MEMORIAL RD, OKLAHOMA CITY, OK 73114, (866) 417-3092) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THERE IS A RECALL ALREADY. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN OCTOBER OF 2017 AND CHECKED FOR RECALLS. I SAW THE RECALL FOR THE FRONTAL PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR. I CALLED A DEALERSHIP IN NOVEMBER OF 2017 AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE YET AND TO CHECK BACK IN THE SPRING OF 2018. HERE IT IS ONE YEAR LATER AND YOUR WEBSITE SAYS THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO GET MY AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED QUICKLY? IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR SOMEONE TO RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.

TAKATA INFLATOR AND AIRBAG WHEN I ENTER MY VIN REGARDING THE TAKATA AIRBAGS, IT SUGGESTS THAT MY VEHICLE HAS TWO AIRBAG ISSUES FOR WHICH PARTS ARE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. WHEN I CONTACTED CUSTOMER SERVICE REGARDING THE MATTER THEY ALSO INDICATED THAT PARTS FOR MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL THE END OF THE YEAR. HOWEVER, MYSTERIOUSLY AFTER COMPLAINING ABOUT POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AT THE ALBANY FORD/LINCOLN DEALERSHIP IN ALBANY, GA VIA THE 1-800 CUSTOMER NUMBER, MY VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME INDICATING THAT ONE OF THE ISSUES WAS RESOLVED (PASSENGER) AND THE OTHER WAS A NON-ISSUE. AND THUS THEY TOOK NO ACTION. EVERYWHERE I'VE READ, PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE SO I AM CONCERNED AS TO WHY MY VEHICLE WAS ALL OF A SUDDEN "FIXED" WHEN I BEGAN FILING COMPLAINTS ON MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I BELIEVE IT IS POSSIBLE THAT I AM DRIVING AROUND A TICKING TIMEBOMB THAT HAS NOT YET BEEN FIXED THUS JEOPARDIZING ME AND MY PASSENGERS. I THINK THEY ARE ENGAGING IN SHADY BUTISINESS PRACTICES LOCALLY, BUT AS OF LATELY THIS SEEMS NATIONALLY TO BE A COMPANY-WIDE FORD/LINCOLN PHILOSOPHY, AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IS JUST A SYMPTOM, NOT THE CAUSE. FROM JUNE 2018 UNTIL OCTOBER 3, MY VEHICLE WAS STORED AT THE FORD/LINCOLN DEALERSHIP AND I WAS IN A RENTAL VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME BY THE DEALERSHIP ON OCTOBER 3, 2018.
