TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ON WHEN I CAN EXPECT TO HAVE THIS RECALL REMEDIED. I'VE CONTACTED SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS IN THE ELKHART, INDIANA AREA AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THEY ALSO STATED THAT I WILL RECEIVE A LETTER STATING WHEN TO BRING MY VEHICLE INTO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. I'M NOT SURE WHEN THE AIRBAG RECALL FIRST BEGAN SO, I ENTERED TODAY'S DATE.

LEFT HEADLAMP STOPPED WORKING. REPLACED HEADLAMP AND IT WILL STILL NOT ILLUMINATE. DEALER SAID IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL WIRING ISSUE INTO THE BALLAST. COST TO REPAIR IS $2,200.00. LINCOLN CONCIERGE REFUSED TO ASSIST. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE ONCOMING DRIVERS PERCEIVE THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT AS BEING THE LEFT HEADLIGHT IN THE DARK CAUSING THEM TO VEER INTO OUR LANE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW THAT HAS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN.

THE MANUAL LIFT GATE WILL NOT ALWAYS OPEN. WHEN IN DRIVE OR IN PARK WHILE TURNED OFF, THERE IS A SOUND COMING FROM THE LIFT GATE LIKE IT IS TRYING TO FUNCTION.

MY 2008 LINCOLN MKZ HAS A DIMINISHED BRAKING CAPABILITY AFTER AN ABS EVENT ON THE SNOW A FEW DAYS AGO. THE ABS CYCLE WORKED, THEN MY PEDAL HAS AN EXTRA INCH OR 2 OF TRAVEL AND FEELS UNSAFE. THIS IS THE THIRD INCIDENT LIKE THIS WITH THE CAR IN THE 5 YEARS I HAVE OWNED AFTER BUYING IT CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED FROM FORD. WHEN I RESEARCH THE PROBLEM ON LINE, I SEE MULTIPLE CASES IN THE 2006 TO 2008 LINCOLN MKZ/ZEPHR, THE FORD FUSION AND THE MERCURY MILAN. ALL OF THE ON-LINE REPORTS SAY THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL VALVE FOR THE ABS SYSTEM. NONE OF APPEARS TO BE COVERED BY FORD. I AM TAKING MINE TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER TOMORROW TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT MINE AND DRIVE IT WHILE IT IS ACTING UP. I FEEL SOMETHING AS CRITICAL TO THE SAFE BRAKING OF THE VEHICLE THAT APPEARS TO BE A CHRONIC MODEL PROBLEM OUGHT TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD. THE PART IS EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE AND SHOULD BE DONE BY QUALIFIED SERVICE.
