2007 LINCOLN MKX Complaints

TAKATA RECALL I WAS TOLD I GET A RENTAL WHILE WAITING FOR THIS PART TO BE AVAILABLE. THAT WAS THREE MONTHS AGO. I AM STILL NOT IN A RENTAL AND I DRIVE MY VEHICLE EVERYDAY WITH MY CHILDREN'S LIFE AT RISK. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND I WANT SOME SORT OF RESOLUTION.

THE ORIGINAL RECALL IS FROM APRIL 2016. SINCE THAT TIME I COULD NOT HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE. IN MAY 2018 I WAS OFFERED A RENTAL CAR BECAUSE NOW I CANNOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT ALL. MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY NOW SINCE JULY 3RD AND I AM FORCED TO DRIVE A RENTAL THAT IS NOT COMPARABLE TO MY MKX. ALSO, IT IS QUITE INCONVENIENT SINCE EVERY 30 DAYS I HAVE TO RENEW THE RENTAL AGREEMENT WHICH INVOLVES ME GOING TO TWO DIFFERENT PLACES FOR PAPERWORK AND TAKES ABOUT AN HOUR EACH TIME. I HAVE HAD 4 DIFFERENT AGREEMENTS SO FAR BECAUSE WHEN I WAS AWAY THEY WANTED THE RENTAL BACK AND WHEN I GOT HOME HAD TO GET ANOTHER RENTAL. IT HAS BEEN TIME CONSUMING AND BOTHERSOME. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY OWN CAR TO DRIVE.
