TAKATA RECALL WAS ISSUED IN JULY 2016 BY THE LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY. TO DATE (8 MONTHS LATER), THERE HAS BEEN NO NOTICE OF WHEN THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL BE REPLACED. IN THE MEANTIME, THERE ARE CHILDREN AND ADULTS WHO RIDE IN THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SEAT. IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, THEY COULD BE SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN TAKEN CARE OF?

CAR IS "UNSALABLE" ACCORDING TO OTHER DEALERS DUE TO THIS RECALL. ADVISED BY FTC THAT RECALL NOTIFICATION ABSOLVES FORD OF LIABILITY IF MY FAMILY IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS FAILURE. VEHICLE WAS UNDER ORIGINAL WARRANTY WHEN THIS RECALL WAS PUBLISHED. PURCHASED $2,600 EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM FORD. FROM NHTSA WEBSITE: " NHTSA RECALL # 16V875000 - SUMMARY: DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES MAY NOT ADEQUATELY RESTRAIN THE OCCUPANT IN A CRASH. SAFETY RISK SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES THAT DO NOT ADEQUATELY RESTRAIN THE OCCUPANT IN A CRASH CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY." "IF THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR YOUR VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER, PLEASE CONTACT THE NHTSA VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT: 1-888-327-4236 OR TTY: 1-800-424-9153 OR FILE AN ONLINE COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA." "RECALL STATUSRECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE" I NEED ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION FROM FORD.

WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET, THE FRONT SECTION OF THE MOON ROOF EXPLODED WITH A LOUD BANG AND CREATED A CRACK IN THE GLASS FROM SIDE TO SIDE. ON THE DRIVE HOME OTHER CRACKS DEVELOPED ALONG THE DRIVER SIDE EDGE. TOOK IT TO A DEALER THE FOLLOWING DAY AND WAS TOLD TO "CALL YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY!". ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE DEALER THE ROOF SHATTERED. CALLED FORD AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER GLASS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 LINCOLN TOWN CAR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WAS CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000. UPDATED 05/10/17*LJ *AS

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE 17S01/NHTSA RECALL 17V-024. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY SAY THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS UNTIL JUNE. IN THE MEANTIME I DRIVE WITH THE CONCERN THIS AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY ANY MOMENT.

HI SHORT YT VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM IS HERE: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=83F_IA8YXVW&T=189S ALL THE PROBLEM STARTS FOR "ADVANCETRAC" WARNING LAMP GOING OFF, SIGNALS TURN LIGHT NOT WORKING AND THEN FOLLOWS THE VIDEO. ALL KIND OF BOGUS ERROR MESSAGES YOU CAN IMAGINE. AFTER STOPING A CAR, THERE IS NO WAY TO CRANK IT AGAING BECAUSE OF FAULTY START SYSTEM. LINCOLN DEALER HAD TO RESETED ALL 26 DTS FAULTY CODES IN 11 MODULES ( THATS ON MY RECEIPT) AND BLAMED EVERYTHING ON ME FOR USING TOO MANY 12V DC OUTLETS. TO MAKE LONG STORY SHORT! THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM REPORTED ON MANY WEB FORUMS. A SENSOR IN THE STEERING RACK IS NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE THE DIRECTION THAT THE WHEELS ARE POINTING AND GENERATES THE ALARM. THE INDICATORS WILL NOT WORK WHILST THE ALARM IS ON UNLESS THE STALK IS HELD IN PLACE. THE ERROR CAN SOMETIMES BE RESET BUT RESTARTING THE CAR BUT NOT ALWAYS. THIS DEFICIENCY IS WELL KNOW BY FORD AND MANY DEALERS YET FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM WITH A TSB OR RECALL ACTION #15S18 OR JUST SIMPLY FIXED THER CAR. THANK YOU
