'TAKATA RECALL'. HOW LONG IS A PERSON TO WAIT TO GET THE PART TO CORRECT THIS AIR BAG ISSUE... CURRENT SOLUTION IS NOT TO USE THE PASSENGER SEAT!,, THAT IS FINE BUT FOR 2 YRS. DIDN'T BUY A CAR TO HAVE EVERYONE RIDE IN BACK SEAT... CAN'T WE GET AN ESTIMATED DATE?... RECALL TITLE: PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT. NHTSA RECALL : 16V384. LINCOLN RECALL: 16S26

WHEN DRIVING THE BRAKES STARTED GETTING SOFTER AS YOU PRESSED THE BREAK PEDAL BUT THE CAR WOULD STOP AT FIRST. THEN A WEEK LATER THE RIGHT FRONT BREAK WOULD ACTIVATE THE ABS AND PULL TO THE RIGHT EVERY TIME YOU STOP. THREE MECHANICS LOOKED AT IT FOR 45 MINUTES. BREAKS , ROTORS, MASTER CYLINDER, ALL WERE FINE. NO FLUID LOSS, ABS LIGHT, OR CODES. HAD TO REPLACE THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT AS SOME VALVES WERE STUCK OPEN. LOOKING ONLINE I SAW MANY OTHERS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. SO I REPORTED THIS

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE NOT HAD AN INCIDENT YET. THE TIME PERIOD TO FIX TO THIS RECALL IS UNACCEPTABLE. *JS

TAKATA RECALL I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL IN JULY 2016 AND WENT TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE AIR BAG REPLACED BUT WAS INFORMED THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART AND I MUST WAIT FOR NOTIFICATION THAT PART IS AVAILABLE. I RECEIVED SECOND NOTICE IN DECEMBER 2017 TELLING ME PART WILL BE AVAILABLE IN SPRING OF 2018 AND NOT TO ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. MY WIFE CANNOT SIT IN PASSENGER SEAT WHEN WE GO SOMEWHERE AND THIS HAS BEEN OVER 19 MONTHS. I AM HIRING AN ATTORNEY TO FILE SUIT FOR INABILITY TO USE MY VEHICLE AS PURCHASED. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. FURTHERMORE, Y PASSENGERS HAVE BEEN AT RISK FOR THE ENTIRE TIME.

TAKATA RECALL: I TALKED TO A PERSON AT NTSHA TODAY AND HE SAID I COULD REQUEST AN ON/OFF SWITCH THAT A MECHANIC CAN INSTALL IN MY CAR TO TURN OFF THE AIRBAG, UNTIL LINCOLN GETS THE REPAIR PARTS. I DIDN'T SEE ON SAFERCAR.GOV WHERE I COULD REQUEST THE FORM FOR THE SWITCH. PLEASE SEND ME THE PROPER DOCUMENTS OR PARTS SO I CAN GET THIS INSTALLED.
