2008 LINCOLN MKX Complaints

TAKATA RECALL. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS AND I AM STILL WAITING ON THIS. WILL THERE BE ANY COMPENSATION FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE PASSENGERS UNLESS THEY SIT IN THE BACK? NOT SATISFIED WITH LINCOLN AND DEALERSHIP RESPONSE. IF THEY HAD TO PROVIDE LOANERS TO ALL OF US I WOULD BET THAT THE PARTS AND INSTALLATION WOULD HAVE BEEN EXPEDITED. WHAT WILL BE DONE TO RECTIFY THIS AND PREVENT SUCH LONG-TERM INCONVENIENCES IN THE FUTURE?

THE AIRBAGS FOR MY CAR HAS A RECALL. IT HAS NO REMEDY AFTER YEARS. WHAT SHOULD I BE DOING TO PROTECT MYSELF AND OTHERS?

WE WERE NOTIFIED ON 05/31/2016 THAT THE AIR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO ATTEMPT BY FORD TO REPLACE THE BAG. THEY SAY RECALL STATUS INCOMPLETE REMEDY NOT AVAILIABLE YET. THATS BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO .UMMARY: PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT SAFETY RISK: THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD RUPTURE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WERE THE SUPPLEMENTAL FRONTAL AIRBAGS ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY. THIS DEFECT REPORT IS IN RESPONSE TO DIRS 17E001, 17E002, 17E003. FORD IS NOT AWARE OF ANY REPORTS OF ACCIDENT OR INJURY RELATED TO THIS CONDITION.

THERE WILL BE NO CHARGE FOR THIS SERVICE. RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE.

IN JULY 2016 I RECEIVED AN ***IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL*** NOTICE. IT WAS LABELED AS SAFETY RECALL 16S26/ NHTSA RECALL 16V-384 FOR OUR 2008 LINCOLN MKX. THE LETTER GAVE NOTICE OF THAT THE VEHICLE'S PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR MAY RUPTURE IN AN EVENT OF A CRASH NECESSITATING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE LETTER GAVE INSTRUCTION TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL LINCOLN DEALER TO HAVE THE AIRBAG(S) REPLACED, FREE OF CHARGE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL LINCOLN DEALER EVERY OCT/NOV OF EVERY YEAR SINCE RECEIVING THE NOTICE, BUT AT EACH VISIT I AM TOLD THAT THE AIRBAG CAN NOT BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT IS NOT IN STOCK AND THAT THE DEALER IS WAITING FOR FORD TO DISTRIBUTE THE RECALLED AIRBAGS FOR REPLACEMENT. I WAS FURTHER INSTRUCTED BY THE DEALER TO CALL FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 800-392-FORD(3673) TO REQUEST FURTHER INFORMATION ON WHEN I CAN REPLACE THE RECALLED AIRBAG. OVER THE PHONE, FORD INSTRUCTED THAT I CONTINUE BRINGING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL OTHERWISE THEY HAVE NEW AIRBAGS IN STOCK. WE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE EVERY DAY AND MOST OF THE TIME WITH A SPOUSE OR MINOR CHILD IN THE PASSENGER'S SEAT. SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM FORD ON MAY 27, 20112, WE DRIVE ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS FOR BOTH SHORT AND LONG DISTANCES. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT DURING OUR OWNERSHIP. I HAVE SINCE RECEIVED A DUPLICATE LETTER DATED DECEMBER 2017. AND AGAIN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. AND AGAIN I WAS TOLD THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG WAS NOT IN STOCK. AND AGAIN I WAS TURNED AWAY.

"TAMARA RECALL" I HAVE BEEN WAITING ON A RECALL REGARDING THE AIRBAGS FOR OVER A YEAR. I WOULD LIKE TO SECURE MY VEHICLE, AS MY CHILDREN ARE DRIVEN IN THE VEHICLE REGULARLY. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT O WANT TO CONTINUE TO WORRY ABOUT.
