January 2017 recall on airbags, still listing "no resolution" in september 2018, almost 2 years later.

Takata recall. i have spoken with (shay) in the service department at north park lincoln dealer san antonio texas (210-341-8841) where i had purchased my vehicle 2012. she advised me they have not received airbags for 2 years now and cannot replace my airbag that is under recall based on my vin. also, advised me that they do not have any information as to a date when i would be able to get the airbag replaced.

Traveling n on 95 just beyond richmond va on 11/26/16 traffic came to a stop and i was attentive and recognized the need to brake quickly. the car initially slowed but did not respond further to applying brakes. i rear ended a jeep grand cherokee. major damage to my car - minimal to the jeep. airbags did not deploy. i am still confused by what happened - i had time to stop the vehicle but it did not respond. i am 60 years old and a long time city commuter along with having traveled this route regularly since 1979. i cannot help but conclude there was some type of brake malfunction with my 2012 lincoln mkz. *tr

I have been waiting for a year. i called the ford dealer in wesley chapel-fl.33453. i have also called the people in higher-up . lgm

My front passenger air bag light comes on saying it isn't functioning - has happened since i bought the car in 2014, but i never noticed until warranty was over (only happens if someone sits in seat, which is not often). i do not see any recall -and wonder if thisis something i have to have fixed at my own cost as dealer said "too bad". no problems as of yet, but worried a passenger can be hurt badly.

I fully stopped in a parking place where i use to go every monday to pick up kids from a dancing school. after i fully stopped and try to put the clutch on p the car accelerated by itself. i went trough a building and as i tried to control the car i was trying to put in p and i was not able. i kept my foot on the brake and tried to stabilize the car..eventually the car ended in a ditch and i was able to exit immediately. the air begs opened only after i exit the car. i was in complete shock and i was taken to a local hospital by the rescue squad. i asked my insurance to keep the completely damaged car to be inspected by lincoln inspectors since the car had 2 problems 1. accelerated when fully stopped 2 air begs did not open during the crash with the building my insurance chubb wrote to lincoln company but until today no one responded or inspected the damaged car. i was lucky the kids were still in class, i could have heard many of them if i would have been a few minutes later. i request an investigation of the car sincerely *tr

I purchased this auto used from a dealer lot. i do not know if the recall for the referenced auto was corrected?
