TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 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 (SCHUMACHER LINCOLN OF DELRAY, 2102 S FEDERAL HWY B, DELRAY BEACH, FL 33483, (561) 935-4208) DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT *TR

TAKATA RECALL. DESPITE BEING NOTIFIED OVER A YEAR AGO THAT MY PASSENGER AIRBAG COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE DEATH TO ANY PASSENGERS IN THE CASE OF DEPLOYMENT, I AM TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO AIRBAG REPLACEMENTS AT THE LOCAL DEALER AND THAT THERE IS NO ESTIMATED TIME FRAME FOR THEIR AVAILABILITY. SO I AM STUCK DRIVING A POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP DUE TO THE NEGLIGENCE OF TAKATA BOTH IN DESIGN AND IN REMEDIATION OF THEIR GRAVE ERROR. TK HOLDINGS SENT ME A POSTCARD URGING THAT I GET THE AIRBAG REPLACED AS TAKATA HAS DECLARED BANKRUPTCY, BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE NO ACTUAL WAY TO DO SO. SO I CONTINUE TO BE STUCK DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE DUE TO MANUFACTURER NEGLIGENCE.

TAKATA RECALL. STILL WAITING ON COMPANY TO EITHER REPLACE, REPAIR THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR. NO CRASH YET. WHY WOULD I WAIT?

AFTER STARTING ENGINE THE DASHBOARD AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES 3 OR 4 TIMES AND THEN STAYS ON CONTINUOUSLY WHILE DRIVING THE CAR UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF. .

TAKATA RECALL...MY PAINT IS CHIPPING ALL OVER THE PLACE WHATEVER THE COMPANY PAINTED MY CAR WITH WAS BAD...

THE FRONT BRAKES NEED FREQUENT REPLACEMENT. THE BRAKES PEDAL HAS WENT TO THE FLOOR WHILE DRIVING AND TRYING TO STOP. I WAS TRAVELING AROUND 45 MPH ON A RURAL ROAD. PUMPING THE PEDAL RETURNED BRAKING POWER. THE CAR SEEMS TO TAKE LONGER TO STOP AND THE BRAKES ARE UNRELIABLE.

I WAS DRIVING UP THE HILL & SLOWED DOWN FOR THE SPEEDBUMP. I STARTED APPLYING THE BRAKES TO TURN RIGHT INTO THE DRIVEWAY BUT THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD, CAUSING ME TO MISS THE DRIVEWAY & TURN INTO THE YARD. AS I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE THE CAR CONTINUED TO SPEED UP SO I SCREAMED AT MY HUSBAND "JAMES I CAN'T STOP THE CAR!" HE YANKED THE HANDBRAKE UP BUT IT DIDN'T STOP OR SLOW DOWN AND THE ENGINE MADE A CONTINUOUS HIGH PITCHED RACING SOUND. WE CRASHED INTO THE HOUSE, DAMAGING IT & BREAKING MY LEFT ARM! THE CAR WAS TOTALED. ALL THIS OCCURRED IN JUST A MATTER OF SECONDS. FORTUNATELY OUR FAMILY WAS IN ANOTHER PART OF THE HOUSE AND WEREN'T INJURED.
