2006 MERCURY MILAN Complaints

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MY DEFECTIVE AIRBAG REPLACED SINCE I RECEIVED NOTICE OF THIS DEFECT WHICH WAS PROBABLY OVER A FEW YEARS AGO. I'VE CALLED MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS AND EACH TIME I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER. I'VE READ WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS (E.G., SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH) AND I HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR EVERY DAY TO WORK, ETC. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN SO EVERYDAY I PUT MY LIFE AND MY CHILDREN'S LIVES IN JEOPARDY. IT'S A TICKING TIME BOMB, BUT IT ISN'T THEIR LIVES WHO ARE AT STAKE SO THEY DON'T CARE. TO SAY IT'S COMPLETELY FRUSTRATING IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.

TAKATA INFLATORS ITS BEEN 2 YEARS AND KNOW HELP FROM FORD. JUST DON'T LET ANYONE RIDE IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS ALL I'M TOLD. SO, I'M DRIVING HALF A CAR.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MERCURY MILAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A BUMP WAS ON THE DASHBOARD OVER THE LOCATION OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE AIR BAGS AND THE WIRING WERE NOT EXPOSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MORRIE'S MINNETONKA FORD (13400 WAYZATA BLVD, MINNETONKA, MN 55305, (952) 546-5441), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY A SERVICE TECHNICIAN THAT THE DASHBOARD REPAIR WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $3,000. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V024000 (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 DEALER STATED THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000.

AIRBAG HAVE A PROBLEM 2016. LIGHT ON NOW. I HAVE TWO LETTERS AND YOU GUYS TOLD WAIT UNTIL NOW. I HAVE A CHANGE ADDRESS SO I PUTTING DOWN MY NEW ADDRESS 6100 NW 106TH STREET #16. JOHNSTON IA 50131.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MERCURY MILAN. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE REMEDY MAY BE AVAILABLE IN MAY OF 2018. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT

TAKATA RECALL NOW IM BEING TOLD THAT NO PASSENGERS ARE SAFE IN THE FRONT SEAT OF MY CAR UNTIL "FURTHER NOTICE". THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE RECALL PROCESS FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND NOW THERE IS NO END IN SIGHT. THIS NEW NOTICE RENDERS MY CAR VALUELESS ON THE OPEN MARKET. I CANNOT USE IT SAFELY, I CANNOT SELL IT AS IT CARRYS WITH IT A LIABILITY THAT IS INSURMOUNTABLE

TAKATA RECALL I GOT A NOTICE FROM FORD IN JULY 2016 AND ANOTHER NOTCIE FROM FORD IN DECEMBER 2017. I CALLED DEALERS FOR THE LAST YEAR AND NO ONE CAN FIX THE ISSUE BECAUSE THE PARTS ARE NOT IN YET.

TAKATA RECALL NOTHING HAS HAPPENED (YET!), BUT I WISH TO FORMALLY COMPLAIN ABOUT FORD/MERCURY DRAGGING THEIR FEET ON FULFILLING THE DEMANDS OF THE AIRBAG RECALL WHICH WAS ISSUED A YEAR-AND-A-HALF AGO. THEY ARE STILL CLAIMING THAT WE (OWNERS) WILL BE NOTIFIED BY MAIL WHEN THE REMEDY/PART IS AVAILABLE, BUT THE DELAY IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE SPENT SO MUCH TIME AND EFFORT TRYING TO WEASEL OUT OF THEIR OBLIGATION, ASKING (AND RECENTLY BEING DENIED BY) THE NHTSA FOR A PASS, WHILE OTHER MANUFACTURERS LIKE NISSAN AND HONDA HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF VEHICLE OWNERS, AND PROACTIVE WITH THEIR RECALL OBLIGATIONS. I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW VEHICLE AND SO I HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE FACT THAT EVERY TIME MY FAMILY OR I USE THIS CAR, OUR VERY LIVES ARE AT RISK, BECAUSE FORD APPARENTLY FEELS THEIR BOTTOM LINE OUTWEIGHS THE POTENTIAL COST OF A FEW WRONGFUL DEATH SUITS.

TAKATA RECALL: WE HAVE ATTEMPTED MANY TIMES OVER THE YEARS TO GET SERVICE RE: THE TAKATA RECALL ON OUR VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE NOTIFIED US EACH TIME THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO GET THE PART(S). WHERE CAN WE TAKE OUR CAR TO GET THIS RESOLVED? I FEEL WE'RE IN DANGER AND NO ONE IS HELPING US.

MY CAR IS PART OF A RECALL ON AIRBAGS. WHEN I CHECK OUT YOUR SITE, MY CAR IS ON THE LIST AND A POSSIBLE DANGER TO ME. HOWEVER, THE RECALL STATUS SAYS INCOMPLETE, AND NOT REMEDY. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? I DO I GET MY CAR FIXED? DO I HAVE TO SUBMIT ANY OTHER FORMS OR DO I CALL A DEALER. I DEFINITELY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT MY CAR IS LISTED ON THE RECALL LIST. IS THERE A DEADLINE FOR DECEMBER 27TH FOR ME?
