2010 LINCOLN MKZ Complaints

TAKATA RECALL WE PURCHASED A 2010 LINCOLN MKZ FROM A LINCOLN DEALERSHIP NOW OWNED BY "FORD GALAXY" IN HOUSTON, TX AND HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 8 YEARS. IN JULY 2016 WE RECEIVED "SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 16S26" INDICATING PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR SHOULD BE REPLACED AND THAT IF A CRASH NECESSITATING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT MAY RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING VEHICLE OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. SINCE JULY 2016 WE HAVE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS REQUESTED THE AIRBAG INFLATOR BE REPLACED. THE LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY'S RESPONSE HAS BEEN "WE DO NOT HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS." IN DECEMBER 2017 WE RECEIVED A SECOND RECALL NOTICE THAT STATED WE SHOULD "NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE FIRST ROW PASSENGER SEAT". FOR 8 YEARS WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING A TICKING TIME BOMB. IT FEELS LIKE A PAGE OUT OF THE OLD FORD PINTO PLAYBOOK. THE LINCOLN SERVICE MANAGER AT GALAXY FORD TOLD US THIS MORNING THAT THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT INFLATORS. FROM AN OWNER'S PERSPECTIVE, IT IS UNIMAGINABLE THAT LMC CANNOT FIND REPLACEMENTS FOR THE DEFECTIVE PARTS IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS! IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

TAKATA RECALL . I HAVE BEEN WAITING TWO YEARS NOW AND STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY REMEDY FOR THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLES AIR BAG .

TAKATA RECALL: MY COMPLAINT IS THAT TAKATA AND FORD/LINCOLN ARE NOT TAKING THE RECALL SERIOUSLY. THIS RECALL IS ALMOST 3 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE RECEIVED 2 OR 3 NOTICES THAT BASICALLY SAY "WE'RE WORKING ON IT" OR NOTICES THAT TALK ABOUT THE BANKRUPTCY FILING OF TAKATA. WHY ARE TAKATA AND FORD/LINCOLN NOT BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SLOW PROCESS? SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUES WITH A NON-URGENT RESPONSE.
