2007 LINCOLN MKZ Complaints

TAKATA RECALL - AT FIRST I WAS TOLD FRONT PASSENGER SEAT ONLY SHOULD NOT BE USED; NOW LATEST RECALL NOTICE SAYS DANGEROUS FOR DRIVER AND PASSENGER BECAUSE DEPLOYMENT OF AIR BAG COULD CAUSE METAL DEBRIS TO SPRAY OCCUPANTS. THEREFORE, I CANNOT DRIVE AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET A RENTAL CAR FROM DEALER. I NEED ASSISTANCE BECAUSE OF MY DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS.

TAKATA RECALL... I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MY AIR BAGS FIXED AND THEY KEEP SAYING THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS SO I'M DRIVING MY CAR BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T FIXED IT YET NOR HAVE ME A RENTAL FOR THE TIME BEING. I CALLED OVER 4 MONTHS AGO.

THERE IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE DASHBOARD BUBBLING. THE PADDED VINYL COVERING SEPARATES FROM THE UNDERLYING HARD SURFACE. AS A RESULT THE DEFROSTER GRILL SEPARATES FROM THE OPENING. THIS RENDERS THE DEFROSTER SUSPECT AND IF NOT INOPERABLE. THE RESULTS IT THE VEHICLE DEFROSTER WILL NOT CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD OF FROST OR CONDENSATION CREATING A SEVERE VISIBILITY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE THEN BECOMES UNSAFE TO DRIVE TO IT'S OCCUPANTS AND TO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD.
