LINCOLN Complaints

TAKATRA RECALL: STILL WAITING ALMOST A YEAR FOR THE FIX TO THE AIR BAG. FORD/LINCOLN AT CORPORATE AND LOCAL DEALER LEVELS HAVE SAME STORY, NO FIX AVAILABLE AND NO TIME LINE FOR WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE, THIS IS REALLY GETTING OLD, TIRED OF THE CONTINUING RUN AROUND. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT AT LEAST 5 TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM DRIVING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS VEHICLE AND NOT ABLE TO SELL THE VEHICLE WITH AN OUTSTANDING SAFETY RECALL.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY 2011 LINCOLN MKS. I SMELL EXHAUST OR GAS FUMES IN THE CABIN WHEN DRIVING. THE SMELL IS GIVING ME HEADACHES. WHEN I CHECK UNDER THE HOOD I DON'T GET THE SMELL. PLUS THE SMELL IS STRONGER WHEN I PUT THE AIR FLOW ON RECIRCULATION. I'M NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR. HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY OTHER COMPLAINS ABOUT FUMES IN THIS VEHICLES? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP WITH THIS ISSUE.

DEALERSHIP (HAWK FORD OF OAK LAWN) STILL DOES ALLOW TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR RECALL. THEY KEEP SAYING THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS. HAVE BEEN CALLING FOR OVER 6 MONTHS TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT.
