LINCOLN Complaints

TAKATA RECALL: I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR TAKATA AND FORD TO FIX THIS SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS AIRBAG PROBLEM FOR WELL OVER A YEAR. EVERY TIME I CONTACT THE LINCOLN DEALERSHIP I GET THE SAME ANSWER..."THEY HAVEN'T SHIPPED US THE PARTS YET." ARE THEY WAITING FOR THE CAR TO BECOME OBSOLETE OR DO THEY FIGURE THAT IT'S CHEAPER TO PAY FOR A 'LOSS'? NOW I'VE HEARD THAT TAKATA SETTLED WITH SOME CAR COMPANIES BUT NOT WITH FORD! THIS SITUATION HAS TO BE RECTIFIED.

I RECEIVED A TAKATA RECALL DATED JUNE 1, 2016 REGARDING A PROBLEM WITH AIRBAGS. I HAVE NOT HAD A PERSONAL INJURY BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG DEFECT. HOWEVER, I FEAR THAT THE AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD RUPTURE CREATING A RISK OF INJURY. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH MY LINCOLN CAR DEALER PERIODICALLY AND TAKATA HAS NEVER SENT REPLACEMENT PARTS TO THE CAR DEALER AND THEREFORE THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED. SINCE TAKATA HAS NOW GONE UNDER CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY I FEAR THAT THE AIRBAG PARTS WILL NEVER BE REPLACED.

THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD RUPTURE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE SUPPLEMENTAL FRONTAL AIRBAGS ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY. THIS DEFECT REPORT IS IN RESPONSE TO TAKATA DIRS 16E-042, 16E-043, 16E-044.THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD RUPTURE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE SUPPLEMENTAL FRONTAL AIRBAGS ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY. THIS DEFECT REPORT IS IN RESPONSE TO TAKATA DIRS 16E-042, 16E-043, 16E-044.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 LINCOLN ZEPHYR. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. SMITH FORD OF LOWELL IN LOWELL, INDIANA 46356 WAS MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL AND STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL WAITING FOR AIRBAG AND PARTS. I PAYED THE DEALER $75.00 SERVICE AND I WOULD A REFUND.

IN JULY 2016 I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE, DEALERS CONTACTED THEN DID NOT HAVE PARTS. SUBSEQUENT CONTACTS WITH BOTH DEALERS AND LINCOLN HAVE FAILED TO GET THE DEFECTIVE PARTS REPLACED.

TAKATA RECALL. FORD DEALERSHIP SAID IT HAD NO FIX AND I HAD TO WAIT FOR LETTER. NO LETTER HAS COME.

TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL ON 05/31/2016 AND HAVE NO FURTHER NOTICE OF WHEN REPAIR WILL BE AVAILABLE. ON INTERNET LINCOLN ONLY SAYS "...YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE..."
