TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED NOTICE JULY 2016. AS OF 3/21/2017 NO MOVEMENT ON PROBLEM. 1. WHAT'S TO STOP LINCOLN FROM LETTING THIS RECALL GO UNTIL THEY FIND IT CHEAPER TO OFFER ME MONEY FOR CAR VS FIXING? THIS IS A GARAGE KEPT, 42,000 MILE CAR IN PERFECT CONDITION. 2. BECAUSE IT IS GARAGE KEPT AND HAS BEEN, ARE THE PROBABILITIES LOWER FOR A PROBLEM IF BAG GOES OFF? 3. IT'S WRONG THAT I CAN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY WIFE AND GRANDKIDS AROUND IN THE CAR. IT'S ALMOST A WORTHLESS CAR, WHICH GOES BACK TO #1. 4. KNOW THEY NEED TO SELL CARS TO HAVE MONEY, BUT THERE SHOULD BE A BETTER BALANCE AND AT SOME POINT THEY NEED TO HAVE NEW CAR SALES SHUTDOWN. %. RECALL #16V-384

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS NOTIFIED BY MAIL JUNE 1 2016 THAT MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. TO DATE I HAVE STILL NOT BEEN NOTIFIED BY MAIL THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO FIX MY CAR. I HAVE CALLED BOTH FORD AND LINCOLN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I AM IN REGION B AND PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN DISTRIBUTED YET. BOTH LINCOLN AND FORD WEBSITES STATE IT IS PRESUMED SAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR. THIS RECALL INFLICTS DEATHLY HARM ON PEOPLE. I AM EXPERIENCING HIGH ANXIETY DRIVING. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIPS WHO AGAIN STATE THEY HAVE NO PARTS AND FORD HAS NOT AUTHORIZED THEM TO DISTRIBUTE SAFE RENTAL CARS UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I ASKED BOTH FORD AND LINCOLN FOR A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL MY CAR IS FIXED THEY BOTH SAID NO. OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS HAVE GIVEN DRIVERS A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE IN. IT SHOULD BE MANDATORY FORD/LINCOLN PROVIDES US WITH A SAFE CAR! IT HAS BEEN 10 MONTHS SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED AND I STILL HAVE NO ESTIMATED DATE OF PARTS BEING AVAILABLE. UNTIL THEN I AM STUCK DRIVING MY DANGEROUS POTENTIALLY DEADLY VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP ME!

TIRE PRESSURE GOES DOWN QUICKLY. I SET TIRE PRESSURE AND WITHIN 2 DAYS THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. VEHICLE BECOMES UN STABLE AT SPEED AND IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I WAS DRIVING AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE DIRECTION OF THE VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN. MY MECHANIC SAYS THE CHROME FINISH ON THE WHEELS HAS CORRODED AT THE BEAD AREAS WHERE THE TIRE MOUNTS AND CAUSES FAST TIRE PRESSURE LOSS. THESE ARE FACTORY WHEELS. *TR
