MY VEHICLE HAS AN AIR BAG THAT IS LISTED AS A POSSIBLE DEFECTIVE UNIT. FORD AND LINCOLN HAVE NOT CONTACTED ME ABOUT A REPLACEMENT, AND I HAVE TRAVELED TO MY DEALER, CARRIAGE FORD, CLARKSVILLE IN 47130, AND THEY TELL ME IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OBTAIN ONE OF THE REPLACEMENT DEVICES, AND THERE IS NO ANTICIPATED DELIVERY DATE FOR THESE.

"TAKATA RECALL"..IN JULY OF 2016, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT MY VEHICLES TAKATA AIR BAG WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THAT WAS 16 MONTHS AGO. IT IS VERY DISTURBING TO KNOW THAT IF YOU HAVE AN ACCIDENT, YOU MAY BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BY METAL FRAGMENTS EMITTED FROM THE DEVICE. FURTHERMORE, I ASKED SEVERAL LINCOLN DEALER EMPLOYEES, ABOUT THE AIR BAG RECALL SITUATION, MANY REPLIED THAT THEY ARE STILL WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE FOR THEIR VEHICLES AIRBAGS ALSO. I AM 84 YEARS OLD, I HAVE OWNED 4 LINCOLN CARS. IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE OF YOUR COMPANY TO WAIT OVER A YEAR (16 MONTHS IN MY CASE) TO NOT REMEDY A POTENTIAL MECHANICAL HAZARD IN YOUR PRODUCT. IF YOU HAVE AN ACCIDENT, YOU MIGHT SURVIVE IT, BUT THE AIR BAG WILL LIKELY KILL YOU. UNLESS I HEAR A GREAT REASON FOR THIS PITIFULLY LONG WAIT FOR REPLACEMENT, I PLAN TO SUE YOUR TAKATA COMPANY AND ALSO THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY FOR NEGLIGENCE AND MALICIOUS NEGLECT. BEST REGARDS
