LINCOLN Complaints

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN MARCH 2017. I'VE CALLED DEALERS TWICE SINCE THEN, MOST RECENTLY IN MID-OCTOBER, ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT REPAIR PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE. WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE IF LINCOLN IS UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PROVIDE THE REPAIR? AM I ABLE TO EVEN SELL THIS CAR WITH AN UNRESOLVED RECALL?

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS DO TO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR BECAUSE SHE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. THE DEALER (BROADWAY FORD, 980 W BROADWAY ST, IDAHO FALLS, ID 83402 (208) 525-8500) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A POSTCARD FROM TK HOLDINGS, ALERTING HER THAT THEY FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

"TAKATA RECALL" - MY DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX MY VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF SINCE JULY 2016 WHEN I RECEIVED THE INITIAL RECALL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE

WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT GOING UNDER 5 MPH AND COMING TO A STOP, THE CAR SURGED FORWARD JUMPING THE SIDEWALK AND CRASHING INTO A CEMENT PATIO TABLE AND BENCH. SMOKE APPEARED AND RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING.

"TAKATA RECALL". I WAS DRIVING MY 2003 LINCOLN TOWNCAR ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY 3 CHILDREN IN THE CAR ON OUR WAY HOME FROM ALABAMA TO INDIANA WHEN MY SUNROOF SHATTERED AND EXPLODED. PIECES OF GLASS STARTED FLYING OFF THE TOP OF MY CAR AND MY KIDS BECAME SCARED. ALL OF THE WINDOWS WERE CLOSED AS WELL AS THE SUNROOF. LUCKILY I HAD THE SUNROOF VISOR CLOSED AS WELL OR PIECES OF GLASS WOULD HAVE FLOWN BACK IN MY CAR POTENTIALLY HARMING ONE OF MY CHILDREN. I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET IT REPLACED AND I'M HOPING TO GET SOME ASSISTANCE IN FIGURING THINGS OUT.

PURCHASED VEHICLE USED IN NOVEMBER 2015. NOTICED EVERY TIME I PUT GASOLINE IN THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT START ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. MONTHS LATER, CHECK IN LIGHT COME ON, TOOK VEHICLE TO A FORD DELERSHIP (IN 2016) AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. AS TIME WENT ON, THE ISSUE WITH REFUELING AND ENGIN LIGHT COUNTIED. IN 2017 WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, A WARNING LIGHT APPEARED (LOW OIL ENGIN PRESSURE) AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND REPLACED IT. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, ENGIN LIGHT APPEARED AND ONE MONTH LATER RECEIVED SAME LOW OIL PRESSURE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED, CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP.

TAKATA RECALL. EFFECTIVE RECALL SINCE JUNE 2016 BUT STILL NO RECALL NOTICE FROM MANUFACTURER FOR A FIX TO THE PROBLEM. LOOKUP STATES "NO SOLUTION AVAILABLE".

TAKATA RECALL: TOOK MY 2010 LINCOLN MKX TO HOOKS LINCOLN IN FORT WORTH, AND ASKED THEM WHEN I MIGHT EXPECT TO GET MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REPLACED. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME TO GO BACK HOME AND WAIT FOR A LETTER TELLING ME WHEN TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. IT'S BEEN 16 MONTHS AND I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM ANYBODY. I HAVE FRIENDS THAT HAD THE SAME RECALL ON THEIR LEXUS VEHICLES AND THE AIRBAGS WERE REPLACED IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS FORM THEIR NOTICE. THEY WERE PUT IN RENT CARS FOR THAT WAIT TIME AT NO CHARGE TO THEM. HOOKS MANAGER LAUGHED AT ME WHEN I ASKED FOR A RENTAL CAR TO AWAIT DELIVER OF NEW AIRBAG. PISS POOR HANDLING OF SO-CALLED SERIOUS SAFETY RECALLS.

TAKATA RECALL....IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR NOW AND NO RESOLUTION?...I'M .DRIVING IN AN MKZ PORTABLE LAND MINE AND LINCOLN DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY.
