Takata recall. i was not informed of any issue with the vehicle airbags until receiving a letter in july 2016 that stated the passenger frontal airbag might rupture and kill the occupant of that seat ' who most commonly happens to be my pregnant wife. it was first reported in november 2014 by the new york times that takata was aware of the issue. one can only speculate how much earlier the company officials were aware of the problem. that thought aside, it is criminal that it took lincoln 20 months to determine they had the affected airbags in this vehicle and alert the owners of said vehicles. it has now been 5 months since i received the letter. during this time period i have contacted the company many times and never have they been able to offer any information whatsoever. it has been over 2 years since they determined the airbag in my vehicle can kill my pregnant wife if ever deployed. this is completely unacceptable. my specific vehicle is 8 years old and i live in the panhandle of florida. considering those two factors i am in the highest risk category. how have i not been contacted to have this fixed? at the very least, why have i not been offered a loaner vehicle while they figure out how to solve the problem? it certainly feels like lincoln is considering my wife's life a financial risk they are willing to take. the way this has been handled is inconceivable. please have lincoln look to make my vehicle a priority. i am an active duty service member who will be relocating across the country in march 2017 and am highly concerned that at any point during the drive my wife and unborn child may be killed by a known issue. *tr

Takata recall. received notice july 2016. as of 3/21/2017 no movement on problem. 1. what's to stop lincoln from letting this recall go until they find it cheaper to offer me money for car vs fixing? this is a garage kept, 42,000 mile car in perfect condition. 2. because it is garage kept and has been, are the probabilities lower for a problem if bag goes off? 3. it's wrong that i can't feel comfortable driving my wife and grandkids around in the car. it's almost a worthless car, which goes back to #1. 4. know they need to sell cars to have money, but there should be a better balance and at some point they need to have new car sales shutdown. %. recall #16v-384

I purchased a lincoln mkz in 2015 and in 2016, i received a letter from ford about a recall on my lincoln passenger side frontal airbags. 2 years later and monthly phone calls about repair and i constantly get the run around that the parts are not in yet. solution is to not put passenger up front, which is not a viable solution. i either want my car repaired or a replacement. i did not buy a 5 person premium car to only be told it is now a 4 seater. this is extremely unacceptable and i would like help with what i am legally able to do.

Takara recall i received a letter from lincoln 3 years ago and nothing has been done, the value of the vehicle has decreased and i cannot sell it. they should buy back the car at the value of it 3 years ago.

Takata recall it has been over 2 years since we were notified we had an air bag recall. i also contacted them after two years and was told they had not gotten that far yet. i strongly object to having two wait over two years for something this important to our safety. if were hurt or one of us killed in an accident that air bags could have kept us safe we have left word to sue the living heck out of them. what are you doing to move them along.

Takata recall. i was notified by mail june 1 2016 that my car was involved in the takata airbag recall. to date i have still not been notified by mail that parts are available to fix my car. i have called both ford and lincoln customer service and they informed me that i am in region b and parts have not been distributed yet. both lincoln and ford websites state it is presumed safe to drive the car. this recall inflicts deathly harm on people. i am experiencing high anxiety driving. i have contacted my local dealerships who again state they have no parts and ford has not authorized them to distribute safe rental cars until parts are available. i asked both ford and lincoln for a loaner vehicle until my car is fixed they both said no. other car manufacturers have given drivers a safe vehicle to drive in. it should be mandatory ford/lincoln provides us with a safe car! it has been 10 months since i was notified and i still have no estimated date of parts being available. until then i am stuck driving my dangerous potentially deadly vehicle. please help me!

Takata recall have been trying to have recall fixed for over 2 years and dealer says can't get part. i need help.
