LINCOLN Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V385000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE JIM SHORKEY DEALER OF NORTH HUNTINGTON PENNSYLVANIA WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. (VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE).

TAKATA RECALL: I WAS INFORMED ABOUT THE TAKATA RECALL IN JULY 2016, ONE YEAR AGO. A COPY OF THE RECALL NOTICE IS ATTACHED. LINCOLN CLAIMS THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIR BAG. THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL GET THE PARTS. SINCE THE AIRBAG INFLATOR MY RUPTURE IN A CRASH, I HAVE A RISK OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. A LINCOLN CUSTOMER SUPPORT AGENT TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE HAS A LOW RISK OF THE INFLATOR RUPTURING SINCE THE RISK DEPENDS ON THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. MY ZEPHYR IS ALMOST 12 YEARS OLD. SHOULDN'T LINCOLN BE REPAIRING 2006 ZEPHYRS? WHAT IS THE RISK OF A DANGEROUS RUPTURE?

CAR WOULD NOT START, SO IT WAS TOWED TO LOCAL MECHANIC. SAID NO FUEL WAS BEING SENT TO ENGINE BY FUEL PUMP DUE TO COMPUTER ISSUE. DIRECTED ME TO FORD RECALL NUMBER 16S31, WHICH STATES "FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS RECALLING SOME 2013 TO 2015 MODEL-YEAR FORD AND LINCOLN SEDANS AND CROSSOVERS OVER AN ISSUE WITH FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULES THAT COULD FAIL, CAUSING EITHER A NO-START OR A RANDOM-STALLING CONDITION." WHEN I SEARCH FOR MY VIN, THIS RECALL DOESN'T SHOW UP. PLEASE INVESTIGATE TO DETERMINE IF THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED. THANKS
