Problems with 2008 Lincoln MKZ AIR BAGS

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 lincoln mkz. the contact stated that the brake, the driver seat belt and air bags failed. the contact experienced an intended acceleration. the contact stated that while driving at 50 mph, while depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle failed to stop and the emergency brake also failed to stop the vehicle. as a result the contact crashed into an embankment. the air bag failed to deploy. the contact sustained back and head injuries that was encounter with the steering wheel and windshield. the front passenger sustained lower back injuries both required medical attention. a police report was filed. the vehicle was towed to a tow lot. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for a diagnostic testing. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 144,000.

I am having a really hard time getting this air bag replaced with a local dealership the only dealership in radius. mtn view lincoln ford chattanooga, tn. this is the only vehicle i drive and i advised them i would need a loaner while this repair is being done. the first time i called with a cs representative on the phone they advised me they didn't have a part but could order it. i asked about a loaner the rep told me only the service manager can approve that and i was sent to his desk where i left a message. i didn't receive a call back. (there is a google review regarding my experience). after receiving yet another recall notice last week i dreadfully attempted to schedule an appointment to get this fixed. which was today at 7:45, last week i expressed again the need for a loaner the guy who answered the phone advised me they had 40 loaners out but he can see what he can do. today i arrived waited 20 mins and todd comes to my vehicle i advised them what i was there for and he stated there are no loaners but he will give me a call and update me. no one has called me.

Takata recall, the airbag light on the passenger side suddenly illuminated without anything triggering it while i was driving to work. it shows that the passenger airbag is off due to having some kind of weight on the seat. but there is nothing on the seat at all when the light illuminated. it is still on and stayed on. i read about the recall for the takata airbags and i read the the airbag can explode during a crash and that defeats the purpose of having an airbag. it's supposed to save lives and not take them away. i would like to get this fixed and resolved before winter comes in full effect and to avoid additional problems if an accident do occur.

Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2008 lincoln mkz. the contact received a recall notification for nhtsa campaign number: 16v384000 (air bags). the vehicle was taken to beach ford (2717 virginia beach blvd, virginia beach, va 23452, (757) 486-2717) for a replacement appointment; however, when the contact arrived, she was informed that the part was not available. the contact was promised that they would reserve a replacement part for her, but with no timeframe. the first time the manufacturer reserved a replacement part for the contact and sent her a confirmation email. afterwards, the contact made the initial appointment with the dealer. the second time the manufacturer apologized repeatedly, but offered no further assistance. the contact had not experienced a failure. parts distribution disconnect.

We are continually receiving letters about not having the recall taken care of. however, we have been told that there is no loaner available or are under a long list of other owners waiting, or the parts will take a few days. i tried calling the nhtsa hotline and both times the call was disconnected after pickup. this is all very frustrating and scary to have to drive a car with a potential fatal defect everyday and at long distances. there should be an alternative through rental car businesses or individual insurance to ensure the safety of the drivers.
