2010 LINCOLN MKX Complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LINCOLN MKX. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V046000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. CAUSEWAY LINCOLN OF MANAHAWKIN (375 NJ-72, STAFFORD, TOWNSHIP, NJ 08050, (609) 597-8083) CONFIRMED PART UNAVAILABILITY AND WAS UNABLE TO VERIFY WHEN THE PART WOULD BE SUPPLIED FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED TO DETERMINE IF THEY COULD VERIFY WHEN THE PART WOULD BE SUPPLIED TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL WAS IN JUNE OF 2016 AND ALL I HAVE FROM THE LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY SAYING PARTS MAY BECOME AVAILABLE IN THE SPRING OF 2018, WITH NO INDICATION WHEN MY CAR WILL BE FIXED. THEY SAY DO NOT USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WHICH MAKES THE CAR VIRTUALLY USELESS FOR A FAMILY OF 5. IS THIS ACCEPTABLE?

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO THE TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED MY FIRST LETTER FROM THE LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY REGARDING THE RECALL JULY 2016. THE ISSUE HAS YET YO BE TAKEN CARE OF AND ALMOST TWO YEARS HAS PASSED. THIS IS SOMETHING I BELIEVE TO BE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY FOR THE PASSENGER IN MY CAR, WHICH MOST OF THE TIME IS FAMILY. EVERY SINCE I'VE RECEIVED THIS LETTER I TRY NOT TO HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT FOR THEIR SAFETY, BUT HAS DEFINITELY BECOME INCONVENIENT.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE BEEN CALLING LINCOLN ON A REGULAR BASIS FOR 2 YEARS HOPING TO GET MY AIRBAG REPLACED. I KEEP GETTING THE SAME OLD STORY OF "IT WILL BE READY IN 4-6 MONTHS". THE DATE KEEPS GETTING PUSHED OUT. THEY NEED TO EXPEDITE THESE REPAIRS.

"TAKATA RECALL". THE FIRST RECALL NOTICE FROM LINCOLN MOTOR WAS IN JULY 2016.A SECOND NOTICE WAS SENT IN DECEMBER 2017 STATING REPAIR WOULD BE DONE IN THE SPRING OF 2018. GAVE A WARNING "DO NOT USE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT" AFTER ALMOST 2 YEARS THE REPAIR STILL HAS NOT BEEN DONE. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 42000 MILES AND IS NOT USED EXCEPT FOR INFREQUENT SHORT LOCAL TRIPS WITH ONLY THE DRIVER IN THE VEHICLE

WE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM LINCOLN MOTOR CO. IN DECEMBER 2017 NOTIFYING US OF A POTENTIAL OF AN AIR BAG EXPLOSION IN OUR 2010 MKX. WE WERE TOLD NOT TO ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT UNTIL THE PROBLEM COULD BE REMEDIED. IT'S NOW MARCH 28, 2018 AND I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE. I WAS TOLD I NEED TO BE PATIENT AND CONTINUE TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE PARKED AND USE A DIFFERENT VEHICLE OR HAVE ANY PASSENGERS RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT BECAUSE THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT. MY QUESTION IS: IF THIS SO CALLED SAFETY DEVICE IS THE SAFETY HAZARD WHICH COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH, WHY CAN'T IT BE DISCONNECTED OR DISABLED. EXPECTING PEOPLE TO TRAVEL WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO USE THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT OR USE AN ALTERNATE VEHICLE BECAUSE A SAFETY DEVICE THAT VEHICLES DID WITHOUT FOR OVER 100 YEARS IS THE REAL SAFETY ISSUE IS CERTAINLY A FOOLS SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. IF THERE ARE SO MANY VEHICLES IN NEED OF THESE PARTS THAT THEY CAN'T BE REPAIRED IN A TIMELY MANNER, THEN MAYBE THERE NEEDS TO BE AN ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION.
