LINCOLN Complaints

IT WILL BE A YEAR IN JANUARY OF 2018, SINCE I'VE TRIED TO GET THIS AIRBAG REPAIRED. KNOXVILLE,TENNESSEE ,TED RUSSELL FORD MOTOR COMPANIES ARE STATING THAT THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS IN TO FIX THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL ON MY 2006 LINCOLN ZEPHYR. I AM FEARFUL OF IT DEFLATING ON ME, MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT, COMES OFF AND ON , EVERY SO OFTEN, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, CITY STREET, TURNING, WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION ANYTIME. PLEASE HELP ME GET THIS FIXED ASAP!!

EXHAUST LEAK IN CABIN. I PURCHASED THE 2013 MKX IN APRIL 2017, SOON AFTER I BEGAN NOTICING AN EXHAUST SMELL IN THE CAR SHORTLY AFTER FAST ACCELERATION. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT IN JUNE AND JULY, WHO SEALED AND RESEALED THE BUMPER WHICH HAD NO IMPROVEMENT AND THEN BY DIRECTION FROM LINCOLN CORPORATE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TWO OTHER DEALERSHIPS WHO REPEATED THE ORIGINAL REPAIRS AND HAVE YET TO FIX THE PROBLEM. LINCOLN OFFERED ME AN X PLAN DISCOUNT TO PURCHASE A NEW FORD OR LINCOLN MODEL BUT STATED THAT AT THIS POINT THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL REPAIRS FOR THIS ISSUE. THE VEHICLE CAN NOT BE DRIVEN FOR LONG DISTANCES WITHOUT PASSENGERS AND THE DRIVER EXPERIENCING HEADACHES, BURNING EYES, NAUSEA, AND DISORIENTATION. THE SMELL IS NOTICEABLE DURING HARD ACCELARATION, HOWEVER, SYMPTOMS DEVELOP WITHIN THIRTY MINUTES OF DRIVING WITH THE A.C. ON AND OFF CAUSING ME TO BELIEVE FUMES ARE ENTERING THE CABIN DURING ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS BUT ONLY NOTICE THE ODOR DURING HARD ACCELERATION. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE AS LINCOLN AS WELL AS THE SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS STATED THERE IS NO FIX BUT THEIR ENGINEERS ARE LOOKING INTO IT. IN THE MEANTIME I CAN'T SAFELY DRIVE THE CAR FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME AND I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW LINCOLN OR FORD EVEN WITH THE OFFERED DISCOUNT.

TAKATA RECALL- RECEIVED LETTER FROM BIG VALLEY FORD AT 3282 AUTO CENTER IN 2016 SAYING THAT AIRBAG NEEDED REPLACEMENT AND THEY WOULD CONTACT US WHEN THEY HAD REPLACEMENT FOR THE AIRBAGS. TO DATE THEY HAVE NEVER CONTACTED US. RECEIVED A NOTICE ABOUT CHAPTER 11 CASE # 17-11375 CONCERNING AIRBAGS. LOOKED UP CAR INFORMATION ON NHTSA SITE AND CONFIRMED CAR HAD RECALL FOR AIRBAG. CALLED BIG VALLEY FORD IN STOCKTON CA. AT 1-800-871-8112 AND WAS TOLD THAT UNTIL SOMEONE TAKES OVER AIRBAG BUSINESS THEY HAVE NO AIRBAGS AVAILABLE TO REPLACE OUR CURRENT DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. THIS WAS LEFT ON OUR VOICE MESSAGE SYSTEM YESTERDAY 11/15/17 AT 4:27PM BY JACKIE AT BIG VALLEY FORD (209-870-4361). MY QUESTION IS WHAT DO WE DO NOW AND HOW DO WE GET THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT FIXED? APPARENTLY FORD DOESN'T PUT AIRBAGS IN THEIR CARS ANY MORE SINCE THEY HAVE NONE TO REPLACE THE ONE THEY CHOSE TO PUT IN THE CAR I DRIVE. HOPEFULLY WE WILL NEVER BE IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE KNOWN DEFECTIVE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED.

I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE PASSENGER TAKOTA AIRBAG WAS DEFECTIVE BUT HAVE NOT REC'D AN O.K. TO GET IT CHANGED. I DID RECEIVE A NOTIFICIATION FROM THE LINCOLN MOTOR CO SATISFACTION PROGRAM 17B23 THAT THEY WOULD CHANGE MY DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG..JUST BECAUSE??? I HAVE TURNED MY PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF...JUST IN CASE. NOT SURE WHICH IS WORSE NOT HAVING AN AIRBAG AT ALL OR ONE THAT MAY SPRAY SHRAPNEL WHEN YOU CRASH.
