Takata recall: i was informed about the takata recall in july 2016, one year ago. a copy of the recall notice is attached. lincoln claims they do not have the parts to repair the passenger frontal air bag. they do not know when they will get the parts. since the airbag inflator my rupture in a crash, i have a risk of a serious accident. a lincoln customer support agent told me that my vehicle has a low risk of the inflator rupturing since the risk depends on the age of the vehicle. my zephyr is almost 12 years old. shouldn't lincoln be repairing 2006 zephyrs? what is the risk of a dangerous rupture?

Takata recall i don't feel safe driving my 2006 lincoln. i don't feel safe having a passenger. my car is in excellent condition with only 48000 mile on it. even if i wanted to sell or trade in, would i be liable. i need to get this taken care of right away. whom do i contact at takata?

Takata recall i feel like i should have heard by now when the manufacturer is going to replace the passenger frontal airbag inflator in my vehicle? i have a zephyr 2006 and it's 2017 and still no update on when they are going to replace the defective part. why does it take so long? this is my complaint.

Takata recall..in july of 2016, i was notified that my vehicles takata air bag was faulty and needed to be replaced. that was 16 months ago. it is very disturbing to know that if you have an accident, you may be seriously injured by metal fragments emitted from the device. furthermore, i asked several lincoln dealer employees, about the air bag recall situation, many replied that they are still waiting for something to be done for their vehicles airbags also. i am 84 years old, i have owned 4 lincoln cars. it is irresponsible of your company to wait over a year (16 months in my case) to not remedy a potential mechanical hazard in your product. if you have an accident, you might survive it, but the air bag will likely kill you. unless i hear a great reason for this pitifully long wait for replacement, i plan to sue your takata company and also the ford motor company for negligence and malicious neglect. best regards

Takata recall passenger airbag may explode causing metal to fly and cause injury or death. this is my only mode of transportation with my children and i am concerned about them being in this car. we had a death due to this in my area with a honda. i received the recall in july. there are still no remedies to this. i need this fixed or a rental until so.
