2012 LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID Complaints

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROX 65 MPH, A MESSAGE APPEARED TO PULL OVER. AT THE SAME TIME, THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. THE GAS PETAL NO LONGER WORKED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. THE CAR HAS RIGHT AT 60K MILES.

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS NOTIFIED OF A RECALL OF TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS FOR MY CAR THIS DATE BY POSTCARD. FROM TK HOLDINGS, INC. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO INFORMED ME "THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE ANYWHERE TO REPAIR THE DEFECT." THUS, I HAVE NO REMEDY AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THIS SAFETY DEFECT IN MY CAR.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V024000 (AIR BAGS). THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE.

I WAS MADE AWARE OF PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL. I CONTACTED DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS AND CAN NOT TELL ME WHEN I CAN HAVE REPAIRS.

"TAKATA RECALL" NOTIFIED OF RECALL MANY MONTHS AGO BUT EVERY TIME I CALL DEALER THEY SAY THEY DON'T HAVE REPLACEMENTS. DEALER IS ISLAND LINCOLN MERCURY ON MERRITT ISLAND, FL NOTE: DATE BELOW IS JUST A GUESS. I CAN NOT FIND NOTIFICATION

I HAVE RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL NOTICE WITH A FAULT IN AIRBAG INFLATOR. ITS BEEN 9 MONTHS AND CAR MANUFACTURER DOESN'T HAVE A REMEDY. IN FUTURE IF THERE IS COLLISION THEN THIS VEHICLE DRIVER RISKS A SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURY. I WOULD LIKE NHTSA FACILITATE A SPEEDIER REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE PART.

GOT TAKATA RECALL NOTICE IN MARCH, TOOK IN TO LIVERMORE AUTO GROUP , THEY HAD CAR FOR A DAY THEN TOLD ME PARTS ARE NOT MADE YET , THEY SAID I WOULD BE CALLED WHEN PARTS ARE MADE. STILL WAITING FOR THEM TO CALL , WORRIED ABOUT SAFETY OF WIFE DRIVING THE CAR WITH DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS

THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR HAS BEEN RECALLED IN MARCH 2017. AS OF TODAY, 2017.10.24, THE CERTIFIED LINCOLN DEALER IN AUSTIN TEXAS DOES NOT HAVE A REPLACEMENT FOR THIS RECALLED ITEM. I CALLED IN MARCH AND AGAIN TODAY, AND REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE FIXED BEFORE A POTENTIAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT HAPPENS.

I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THE ENTIRE STEERING ASSEMBLY AND THE ELECTRONIC STEERING MUST BE REPLACED DUE TO A FAILURE OF THE STEERING MOTOR SENSOR. THIS REPAIR IS ESTIMATED TO COST $2100. OTHER 2012 LINCOLN MKZ HYBRIDS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME FAULT, NHTSA ID 15V340000, BUT MY CAR DOES NOT SEEM TO BE COVERED. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT MY CAR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AND WHATEVER CORRECTION OR RUNNING CHANGE THEY MADE TO THE PRODUCTION LINE DID NOT ADEQUATELY FIX THE ISSUE. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN A WARNING LIGHT (YELLOW WRENCH) CAME ON. I STOPPED THE CAR, CHECKED THE MANUAL AND COULD FIND NO REFERENCE TO THIS WARNING LIGHT. IT DID NOT REAPPEAR WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR AND NEVER CAME BACK ON.
