Takata inflators: i purchased my lincoln mkz to have a safe family vehicle to transport my 4 month son to and from the hospital over 200 miles away every day! july 2016 i received notice that there were safety concerns with my vehicle and i would be contacted when parts arrived. then in december 2017 i received another notice saying the same information but also included there are to be no passengers in this vehicle. this vehicle was no longer serving a purpose for my family to get to the hospital with my son. i received another notice in june 2018 that my vehicle was no longer to be driven and i just received my rental car on july 10, 2018... there is still no parts currently being distributed in order to repair my car. my vehicle has sat, i have had to pay a mechanic to come flush it and put in new batteries etc to maintain it after not being driven. i am very grateful to receive this rental car now however, it hardly seems to make it better after paying on a car for two years that was not deemed safe and fully functional. i know that this situation has caused many distraught customers, however for me and my son who was fighting for his life, this situation has truly been a hardship. my son's needs unfortunately, put me in a place where i can't just "upgrade". the vehicle was purchased november 2015 with 21,300 miles and today it still has less then 39,000 miles due to it being unfit. a most devastating challenge to my family. i have all supporting documents should anyone wish to see them, i am happy to provide it. at this point it will be hard turning back over the rental car as i finally have the means to care for my son, going back to the sitting lincoln will just bring more problems. i hope someone can understand how emotionally damaging it has been for a family to wait two + years to drive in their vehicle during the most difficult times in their life

Takata recall: i want to purchase a new car but because this recall is listed on it for so long a period now, no dealership is willing to offer me any amount close to what my car would be valued otherwise as a trade-in. there is something very wrong with the fact that i am being severely financially punished because of this recall. we are talking many thousands of dollars here. i very much want to know my legal rights in this matter. i also believe that dealers are purposely using this as a way to pressure potential buyers like myself into dumping their vehicles because they feel helpless in this situation. i anxiously await a reply and a solution to this as soon as possible. thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
