2011 LINCOLN MKZ Complaints

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS NOTIFIED 22 MONTHS AGO ABOUT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. LINCOLN HAS DONE NOTHING AND CONTINUES TO DELAY REPLACING THE AIRBAG. MEANWHILE, HONDA AND TOYOTA HAVE HELPED THEIR CUSTOMERS. HOW CAN THEY GET BY WITH THIS? I THINK THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO MAKE THE RECALLS BEFORE SELLING NEW CARS.

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE JULY 2016. CALLED NUMEROUS DEALERSHIPS AND THEY HAVE NO PARTS TO MAKE REPAIR. DO YOU KNOW IF THEY WILL EVER MAKE REPAIR? CANNOT ALLOW PASSENGERS TO SIT IF PASSENGER SEAT. WHY WOULD THEY USE GOOD AIR BAG FOR DRIVER AND AN INFERIOR BAG FOR PASSENGER. MUST BE TO SAVE MONEY.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN JAN 2011. INTERMITTENTLY, THE ENTIRE SOUND SYSTEM STOPS WORKING (RADIO, CD PLAYER, AND NAVIGATION SYSTEM). THIS MEANS THAT IF, THE DRIVER HAS ENGAGED THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM RELYING ON THE VOICE INSTRUCTIONS WHICH SUDDENLY DO NOT WORK, HE/SHE MUST THEN LOOK AT THE SMALL SCREEN FOR UPCOMING TURNS AND OTHER INFORMATION MORE FREQUENTLY THAN WHEN THE VOICE INSTRUCTIONS ARE WORKING. IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT TAKING ONES EYES OFF THE ROAD TO EXAMINE THE SCREEN INFORMATION IS UNSAFE. THE DEALER (ED HOWARD LINCOLN IN SARASOTA FL) HAS REPLACED THE "AUDIO CONTROL MODULE" TWICE: IN NOV 2014 AND IN DEC 2017. THIS LAST REPAIR ORDER MENTIONS "COMPUTER TESTS FOR CODE, U1214".
