2010 LINCOLN MKZ Complaints

TAKATA RECALL--I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA RECALL 16V-384 IN A LETTER FROM LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY DATED JULY, 2016, WHICH STATED THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS WERE AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. IN DECEMBER, 2017 A 2ND LETTER ARRIVED FROM LINCOLN ADVISING ME THAT I SHOULD NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE FRONT ROW PASSENGER SEAT, AND THAT LINCOLN EXPECTED REMEDY PARTS TO BE AVAILABLE IN THE SPRING OF 2018. ON 6/11/18 A 3RD LETTER ARRIVED FROM LINCOLN DATED MAY,2018 ADVISING ME THAT PARTS ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE AVAILABLE DURING THE 2ND AND 3RD QUARTER OF 2018, AND THAT LINCOLN WOULD PAY UP TO $45 PER DAY FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE WHILE WAITING FOR PARTS. HOWEVER, $45 PER DAY WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF RENTING AN EQUIVALENT VEHICLE. A CALL TO LINCOLN INFORMED ME THAT THAT CAR RENTAL ALLOWANCE HAS BEEN INCREASED TO $55 PER DAY (WHICH WILL STILL NOT COVER THE COST OF RENTING AN EQUIVALENT VEHICLE. I LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA WHERE THE HOT HUMID CLIMATE PUTS MY CAR AT GREATER RISK. IN THE MORE THAN TWO YEARS SINCE THE FIRST RECALL NOTICE FORD AND LINCOLN HAVE CONTINUED TO BUILD AND SELL NEW VEHICLES (PRESUMABLY WITH SAFE PASSENGER AIR BAGS). IF THEY ARE ABLE TO INSTALL SAFE AIR BAGS IN NEW VEHICLES, THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE THE SAME TECHNOLOGY AND PARTS TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. ANYTHING NHTSA CAN DO TO EXPEDITE THE REPAIR OF MY VEHICLE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

TAKATA INFLATORS: I PURCHASED MY LINCOLN MKZ TO HAVE A SAFE FAMILY VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT MY 4 MONTH SON TO AND FROM THE HOSPITAL OVER 200 MILES AWAY EVERY DAY! JULY 2016 I RECEIVED NOTICE THAT THERE WERE SAFETY CONCERNS WITH MY VEHICLE AND I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN PARTS ARRIVED. THEN IN DECEMBER 2017 I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE SAYING THE SAME INFORMATION BUT ALSO INCLUDED THERE ARE TO BE NO PASSENGERS IN THIS VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER SERVING A PURPOSE FOR MY FAMILY TO GET TO THE HOSPITAL WITH MY SON. I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE IN JUNE 2018 THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER TO BE DRIVEN AND I JUST RECEIVED MY RENTAL CAR ON JULY 10, 2018... THERE IS STILL NO PARTS CURRENTLY BEING DISTRIBUTED IN ORDER TO REPAIR MY CAR. MY VEHICLE HAS SAT, I HAVE HAD TO PAY A MECHANIC TO COME FLUSH IT AND PUT IN NEW BATTERIES ETC TO MAINTAIN IT AFTER NOT BEING DRIVEN. I AM VERY GRATEFUL TO RECEIVE THIS RENTAL CAR NOW HOWEVER, IT HARDLY SEEMS TO MAKE IT BETTER AFTER PAYING ON A CAR FOR TWO YEARS THAT WAS NOT DEEMED SAFE AND FULLY FUNCTIONAL. I KNOW THAT THIS SITUATION HAS CAUSED MANY DISTRAUGHT CUSTOMERS, HOWEVER FOR ME AND MY SON WHO WAS FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE, THIS SITUATION HAS TRULY BEEN A HARDSHIP. MY SON'S NEEDS UNFORTUNATELY, PUT ME IN A PLACE WHERE I CAN'T JUST "UPGRADE". THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NOVEMBER 2015 WITH 21,300 MILES AND TODAY IT STILL HAS LESS THEN 39,000 MILES DUE TO IT BEING UNFIT. A MOST DEVASTATING CHALLENGE TO MY FAMILY. I HAVE ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS SHOULD ANYONE WISH TO SEE THEM, I AM HAPPY TO PROVIDE IT. AT THIS POINT IT WILL BE HARD TURNING BACK OVER THE RENTAL CAR AS I FINALLY HAVE THE MEANS TO CARE FOR MY SON, GOING BACK TO THE SITTING LINCOLN WILL JUST BRING MORE PROBLEMS. I HOPE SOMEONE CAN UNDERSTAND HOW EMOTIONALLY DAMAGING IT HAS BEEN FOR A FAMILY TO WAIT TWO + YEARS TO DRIVE IN THEIR VEHICLE DURING THE MOST DIFFICULT TIMES IN THEIR LIFE
