TAKATA RECALL THE AIRBAGS COVERED IN THIS RECALL HAVE NOT BEEN MADE AVAILABLE BY THE LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY. THIS LEAVES MY CAR AT RISK WHICH LEAVES THE POSSIBILITY FOR INJURY OR DEATH IN THE FUTURE. THE DEADLINE FOR A CLAIM IN THE TAKATA BANKRUPTCY IS DECEMBER 27, 2017. ALL AFFECTED CARS SHOULD HAVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITY TO FILE SUIT IN THE CASE OF DEATH OR INJURY. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT THE TAKATA BANKRUPTCY HEARING BE POSTPONED UNTIL ALL AFFECTED CARS HAVE BEEN OFFERED THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG REPLACED.

SHIFTER DOES NOT COME OUT OF PARK WITHOUT TRYING MANY MANY TIMES BEFORE IT RELEASES.

I AM ALARMED THAT NEARLY TWO YEARS AFTER A RECALL THAT THE LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY HAS YET TO SECURE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE AIR BAG INFLATOR. THEIR REMEDY IS JUST DON'T USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS NOT REALLY A SOLUTION.
