TAKATA RECALL IN MARCH 2017 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY STATING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE REGARDING THE AIRBAGS. TO DATE, OCTOBER 31, 2018 THERE IS STILL NO MOVEMENT ON GETTING THIS FIXED. EVERY DAY I DRIVE A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE FOR THE PERSON SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. YESTERDAY I GOT A NOTICE OF A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT THAT I CAN’T EVEN ENTER INTO BECAUSE MY CAR HASN’T BEEN FIXED YET AND THE DEADLINE IS NOVEMBER 26, 2018........WHAT GIVES?

I AM CURRENTLY IN A RENTAL AND HAVE BEEN FOR MONTHS. CALIFORNIA CODE REQUIRES THAT, IF A MANUFACTURER OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE IS UNABLE TO REPAIR THE MOTOR VEHICLE TO CONFORM TO THE VEHICLES APPLICABLE EXPRESS WARRANTY AFTER A REASONABLE NUMBER OF ATTEMPTS. ITS BEEN TWO YEARS, MAYBE LONGER. THE VEHICLE IS NOW IN NONCONFORMITY FOR OVER 60 DAYS.

TAKATA RECALL THIS RECALL IS ALMOST 2 YEARS OLD. I AM NOT SURE SURE WHAT 'TIMELY MANNER' IS, BUT I AM GUESSING 2 YEARS IS NOT A TIMELY MANNER. I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER WITH NO RESULTS TO GET THIS FIXED. PER SAFERCAR.GOV: "IF THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR YOUR VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER, PLEASE CONTACT THE NHTSA VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT: 1-888-327-4236 OR TTY: 1-800-424-9153 OR FILE AN ONLINE COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA."

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED NOTICE THE RECALL A YEAR AGO. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED A FORD DEALER ABOUT THE RECALL WHO TOLD ME THEY WOULD CALL WHEN READY TO REPLACE MY AIR BAG. I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED NOR GOTTEN MY AIR BAG REPLACED.
