LINCOLN Complaints

CAR HAS A HARD TIME ACCELERATING/SWITCHING GEARS WHOLE DRIVING IN CITY OR ON THE HWY... CAUSING THE ENGINE TO BUCK. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE I'VE OWNED THE CAR. AT TIMES MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. ..SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE SENSORS MALFUNCTIONING.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKX. 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. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL ABOUT THE RECALL AND TALKED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND LINCOLN AND CALLED LINCOLN ABOUT IT AND I DRIVE LITERALLY 6 HOURS A DAY 5 DAYS A WEEK IN MY CAR LONG DISTANCE I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AT ALL AND I TALKED TO SOMEONE IN DETROIT MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY SAID IF ITS A ISSUE I COULD BRING IT INTO LINCOLN AND GET A LOANER UNTIL ITS FIXED THEY TOLD ME IT COULD TAKE UP TO 12 MONTHS JUST TO GET THE PARTS. I LIVE IN FLORIDA INSIDE MY CAR WHEN IT SITS IT GETS UP TO 130 DEGREES IN MY CAR AND I JUST DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AT ALL TO THE POINT WHERE ITS TAKING MY CONCENTRATION OFF THE ROAD FROM WHAT SHE TOLD ME CAN I TAKE MY CAR TO LINCOLN TO GET A LOANER AND LET MY CAR SIT?

TAKATA RECALL - NOTICE OF "RECALL" RECEIVED 7/29/16 TO WHICH LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY STATED THAT THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. IN RESEARCHING IT WAS FOUND THAT THE COMPANY PREDICTED THAT A RESOLUTION WOULD BE AVAILABLE THROUGH 2019 BY STATE IN WHICH IT WAS NOTED THAT MY STATE, CALIFORNIA, WAS NOT EVEN LISTED. I SUGGESTED THAT A COMPARABLE LOANER BE MADE AVAILABLE OR DEALER AUTHORIZATION BE EXPEDITED TO DISABLE THE AIR BAG. LINCOLN RESPONSE DATED 8/5/16 WAS RECEIVED 8/13/16 IN WHICH THE COMPANY MERELY STATED "AT THIS POINT, THE GUIDELINES FOR THIS RECALL DO NOT INCLUDE A LOANER VEHICLE". IN THAT THE COMPANY DID NOT ELABORATE ON "THE GUIDELINES" NOR RESPOND TO WHETHER OR NOT THE LEGISLATION TO DISABLE THE BAG HAS BEEN LEGISLATED I AM IN RECEIPT OF A NON-RESPONSE AND CERTAINLY SEE THAT THIS IS NOT ANYTHING THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED A "RECALL". FURTHER DOES THE COMPANY AND NHTSA EXPECT THE OWNER OF THESE VEHICLES TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE AND OCCUPY THESE LETHAL VEHICLES?
