TAKATA RECALL.. NHTSA RECALL #16V-384.. WAS NOTIFIED BY LINCOLN IN LETTER DATED JULY 2016 OF PASSENGER AIRBAG DEFECT YET AS OF 4/18/17 LINCOLN STILL HAS NO TIMELINE FOR REPLACEMENT. THEY SAY NHTSA DEEMS CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE BUT GIVES OUT CONFUSING INFORMATION AS TO WHETHER IT IS SAFE TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN FRONT SEAT. CAR CANNOT BE SOLD FOR OPTIMUM RESALE VALUE DUE TO RESOLVED RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL: IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE THIS RECALL. THERE ARE STILL NOT ANY PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS NOT A TIMELY MANNER AT ALL.

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

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!

TIRE PRESSURE GOES DOWN QUICKLY. I SET TIRE PRESSURE AND WITHIN 2 DAYS THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. VEHICLE BECOMES UN STABLE AT SPEED AND IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I WAS DRIVING AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE DIRECTION OF THE VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN. MY MECHANIC SAYS THE CHROME FINISH ON THE WHEELS HAS CORRODED AT THE BEAD AREAS WHERE THE TIRE MOUNTS AND CAUSES FAST TIRE PRESSURE LOSS. THESE ARE FACTORY WHEELS. *TR

WHEN ABS ENGAGES, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES REALLY SQUISHY, AND HAS TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. DOESN'T FEEL LIKE IT WOULD BE ABLE TO STOP IN EMERGENCY SITUATION. HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS, BUT HASN'T BEEN AN ISSUE IN DRY CALIFORNIA. NOTE CALIFORNIA IS WET, AND IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. ABS SEEMS OVERLY EAGER TO ENGAGE, AND THIS CONDITION TAKES DAYS BEFORE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMS NORMAL AGAIN.

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT ALLOWS WATER TO LEAK INTO IT AND THEREFORE SHORTS OUT ELECTRICAL ITEMS. SO FAR I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY BATTERY, THE STARTER FUSE, AND THE TAIL LIGHT FUSE. REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IS THE ONLY WAY FOR ME TO HAVE TAILLIGHTS AGAIN ON THIS VEHICLE. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED ON THE FREEWAY ONE NIGHT BECAUSE MY TAILLIGHT FUSE SHORTED OUT DURING THE DRIVE. THE WATER IN THE HEAD LIGHT ACCUMULATED OVER TIME, SO I CANNOT PINPOINT EXACTLY WHEN THE SEAL BROKE, BUT THERE IS NO REPAIRING THE SEAL. I'VE BEEN ON MANY VEHICLE FORUMS AND HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH MANY OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT COLLECTING WATER.

SOFT AND LONG TRAVEL BRAKE PEDDLE, OCCASIONALLY PEDDLE WILL TRAVEL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. SCARY STOPPING. INTERMITTENT PEDDLE TRAVEL. SOMETIMES CORRECTED WITH HEAVY PUMPING. NEVER KNOW WHICH BRAKE PEDDLE WILL OCCUR. SPONGY PEDDLE FEEL CAN OCCUR ON STOPPING AND CAN ALSO BE FELT WHEN IN PARK OR COMING TO A STOP. WIFE CRASHED INTO GARAGE.

THE FAILURE RECURRED ON DRY PAVEMENT ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

EXCESSIVE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL OR SOFT PEDAL WHICH REQUIRES GREATER FOOT FORCE TO INSURE SAFE STOPPING. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE RECEIVED THE RECALL PAPERS LIKE 7 MONTHS AGO AND I CANT GET ANY ANSWERS FROM ANYONE NOT EVEN A DEALERSHIP WILL GIVE ME ANSWERS ABOUT THIS AND WHY I CANT GET IT FIXED I DRIVE MY CAR EVERY DAY AND I AM IN THE FLORIDA HEAT ALSO I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR AND I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE A DEATH TRAP. I WOULD LIKE ANSWERS AND WHY ITS TAKING ALMOST A YEAR FOR A AIR BAG TO BE REPLACED WHICH DON'T MAKE SENSE AT ALL FORD BUILDS NEW CARS EVERYDAY IN A FACTORY PROBABLY THOUSANDS A WEEK BUT THEY CANT REPLACE A AIR BAG ON A CAR THAT THEY ALREADY SOLD SOMEONE THAT THEY ARE DRIVING? DON'T MAKE SENSE TO ME AT ALL THAT BUILDING A CAR THEY HAVEN'T SOLD YET IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN SOMEONE'S LIFE THAT BOUGHT THERE SLAP TOGETHER CHINA MADE AIR BAGS I WANT THIS FORWARDED TO WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE BECAUSE I AM CONTACTING A LAWYER ABOUT THIS BECAUSE ITS UNSAFE AND VERY DANGEROUS TO ME AND OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE ON THE ROAD WHEN MY CAR IS ON THE ROAD! I WANT SOME KIND OF ANSWER AND IF A LAWYER HAS TO BE INVOLVED TO GET AN ANSWER THEN SO BE IT! *TR

WAS DRIVING ON A NON-HIGHWAY ROAD ABOUT 45MPH WHEN I WAS COMING UP TO A STOP LIGHT. MY BRAKES FELT LIKE THEY COMPLETELY JUST GAVE OUT! PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR, THERE WAS NO FIRMNESS OR RESISTANCE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I HAD TO SWERVE AND ALMOST ENDED UP IN ON COMING TRAFFIC. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS IS NOT A PRIORITY UNTIL THERE IS A FATALITY! *TR

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 RELOCA

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL ABOUT THE RECALL AND TALKED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND LINCOLN AND CALLED LINCOLN ABOUT IT AND I DRIVE LITERALLY 6 HOURS A DAY 5 DAYS A WEEK IN MY CAR LONG DISTANCE I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AT ALL AND I TALKED TO SOMEONE IN DETROIT MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY SAID IF ITS A ISSUE I COULD BRING IT INTO LINCOLN AND GET A LOANER UNTIL ITS FIXED THEY TOLD ME IT COULD TAKE UP TO 12 MONTHS JUST TO GET THE PARTS. I LIVE IN FLORIDA INSIDE MY CAR WHEN IT SITS IT GETS UP TO 130 DEGREES IN MY CAR AND I JUST DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AT ALL TO THE POINT WHERE ITS TAKING MY CONCENTRATION OFF THE ROAD FROM WHAT SHE TOLD ME CAN I TAKE MY CAR TO LINCOLN TO GET A LOANER AND LET MY CAR SIT?

TAKATA RECALL - NOTICE OF "RECALL" RECEIVED 7/29/16 TO WHICH LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY STATED THAT THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. IN RESEARCHING IT WAS FOUND THAT THE COMPANY PREDICTED THAT A RESOLUTION WOULD BE AVAILABLE THROUGH 2019 BY STATE IN WHICH IT WAS NOTED THAT MY STATE, CALIFORNIA, WAS NOT EVEN LISTED. I SUGGESTED THAT A COMPARABLE LOANER BE MADE AVAILABLE OR DEALER AUTHORIZATION BE EXPEDITED TO DISABLE THE AIR BAG. LINCOLN RESPONSE DATED 8/5/16 WAS RECEIVED 8/13/16 IN WHICH THE COMPANY MERELY STATED "AT THIS POINT, THE GUIDELINES FOR THIS RECALL DO NOT INCLUDE A LOANER VEHICLE". IN THAT THE COMPANY DID NOT ELABORATE ON "THE GUIDELINES" NOR RESPOND TO WHETHER OR NOT THE LEGISLATION TO DISABLE THE BAG HAS BEEN LEGISLATED I AM IN RECEIPT OF A NON-RESPONSE AND CERTAINLY SEE THAT THIS IS NOT ANYTHING THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED A "RECALL". FURTHER DOES THE COMPANY AND NHTSA EXPECT THE OWNER OF THESE VEHICLES TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE AND OCCUPY THESE LETHAL VEHICLES?

BRAKE PEDAL HAS GONE TO THE FLOOR TWICE WITH NO BRAKES ON THE HIGHWAY

I HAVE OWNED MY LINCOLN MKZ FOR 3 YEARS. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR THE CHROME ON THE WHEELS BEGAN TO PEEL. SHORTLY AFTER THE PEALING BEGAN THE RIMS DEVELOPED A SMALL LOSS OF AIR DUE TO THE CORRODING WHEELS REQUIRING ME TO CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK AND FILL AT LEAST TWO TIRES WITH AIR EVERY WEEK TO ACHIEVE A SAFE LEVEL OF OPERATION. THE DEALER WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM OTHER THAN TO SELL ME VERY EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT WHEELS. AFTER THREE YEARS THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE CAUSING ME TO FILL MY TIRES WITH AIR EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. THE CHROME ON THE WHEELS LOOK AWFUL WITH THE PEELING AND SHARP EDGES CAUSED BY THE PEELING CHROME. EVEN THE DEALER IS SHOCKED FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL OR ADDRESSED THIS. THIS IS A WELL KNOW SAFETY ISSUE WHICH FORD HAS REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE. I HAVE RECEIVED A RESPONSE FOR FORD (SEE ATTACHED) INDICATING THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST ME WITH THE REPAIR. MY CONCERN IS SAFETY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT FOR THE GENERAL DRIVING PUBLIC. I HOPE YOU WILL ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH FORD BEFORE SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT HAPPENS AND SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT.

BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A LINCOLN DEALER SHIP IN NORMAN, OKLAHOMA. LATER MOVED TO TEXAS TO BE CLOSER TO MY DAUGHTER. THE CAR HAD NOT DONE THIS BEFORE, BUT ONE NIGHT WHILE I WAS AT THEIR HOUSE, WALKED OUT AND THE CAR STARTED BY ITS SELF. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE BEEN SHOPPING AND HAVE COME OUT AND MY SUN-ROOF AND ALL OF MY WINDOWS ARE DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. I REGULARLY TAKE IT TO A LINCOLN DEALER HERE IN HOUSTON. I HAVE ASKED THEM SEVERAL TIMES WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, AND THEY SAY THAT IT IS RELATED TO THE PROGRAMMED KEY, AND THEIR IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. I AM 78 YEARS OLD, AND HAVING THIS HAPPEN IN THE HOUSTON AREA IS REALLY A SAFETY FACTOR. HAVE TRIED TO MANIPULATE THE KEY TO TRY AND MAKE THESES THINGS HAPPEN, BUT TO NO AVAIL. A GENTLEMEN THAT RESIDES WHERE I LIVE NOW RECENTLY CAME UP TO MY APARTMENT AND WANTED TO KNOW IF I KNEW THAT MY SUN-ROOF AND WINDOWS WERE DOWN. EVERY DEALERSHIP THAT I HAVE TAKEN IT TOO DOES NOT SEEM TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. ONLY THAT IS RELATED TO THE KEY. I NEED HELP SOLVING THIS PROBLEM. I CAN ONLY GUESS AT THE DATE WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED.

LEFT REAR WHEEL HAD CHROME FLAKE OFF AT THE POINT OF ATTACHMENT TO THE TIRE CAUSING AIR LEAK IN OCT 2015. WHEEL WAS REPLACED. RIGHT FRONT WHEEL HAD CHROME FLAKE AT THE TIRE SEAL CAUSING TIRE LOW PRESSURE. DEALER RECOMMENDS REPLACING WHEEL. CAR HAS APPROX. 54000 MILES. THE LOSS OF AIR IN THE TIRES IS SENSED BY THE TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR. IF TIRES ARE INFLATED IT TAKES ABOUT THREE DAYS UNTIL THE SENSOR LIGHT COMES BACK ON.

CHROME WHEELS DID NOT USE NICKEL UNDERCOAT AND CHROME PEELED OFF CAUSING AIR LEAKS AND DIFFERENTIAL WOULD MOAN FROM UNEVEN TIRE PRESSURE; BOUGHT 4 NEW AFTER MARKET WHEELS FOR $775 AND SOLVED PROBLEM. FRONT DRIVING LIGHTS ALLOWED WATER TO PENETRATE FROM VENT IN WHEEL WELL CAUSING TO FILL UP WITH WATER AND SHORTED OUT CONNECTORS. COVERED VENT HOLES. REWIRED CONNECTOR AND WATER PROOFED THE LIGHTING ASSEMBLIES BUT THEY ARE STILL VERY HAZY FROM WATER DAMAGE. DEALER WANTED $1,200 TO REPLACE THEM AND SAID IT IS COMMON. AFTER MARKET REPLACEMENTS COST $350 TO $500 EACH; PROBLEM STILL NOT RESOLVED AND MAKE AN OTHERWISE VERY PRETTY CAR LOOK LIKE CHEEP CRAP. VERY NICE CAR; STUPID FORD PROBLEMS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT PURCHASED AN IGNITION COIL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT A REPLACEMENT COIL WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 190,000.

THIS IS MY FATHERS CAR. HE IS A WWII VET AND JUST SHY OF 98 YEARS OLD. WE JUST REPLACED AN AC ON THE CAR, AND NOW THE COMPUTER HAS FAILED AND NEED REPLACING. THE FEDERAL WARRANTY FOR THIS STATE IS 8 YEARS OR 80K MILES. THE CAR HAS 47K MILES AND THE 8 YEAR WARRANTY ENDED 1 MONTH AND 20 DAYS AGO. LINCOLN WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT TO EVEN PRORATE AN AMOUNT TO HELP HIM. THIS IS THE VEHICLE HE USES TO GET TO DR APPTS. I FIND IT HARD TO SWALLOW THERE LACK OF COMPASSION FOR HIM AND THEIR PRODUCT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,197.

TONIGHT WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME, I CAME TO A RED LIGHT. WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES, THE BRAKES MADE A WEIRD SOUND, HIT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR. I PRESSED OFF THE BRAKE AND PRESSED IT AGAIN AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR AGAIN, BUT NOT AS MUCH AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED THE CAR. I PULLED OVER AND KEPT TESTING THE BRAKES AGAIN AND IT WAS STILL GOING TO THE FLOOR BUT THE EVENTUALLY STOPPED. LUCKILY I WAS ABOUT 5 MINUTES FROM HOME SO I DID NOT HAVE TO DRIVE MUCH FARTHER. WHEN I GOT HOME, I WENT ONLINE TO LOOK UP THE ISSUE AND I FOUND OTHER PEOPLE INQUIRING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. SOME PEOPLE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY AND THE ISSUE WAS STILL NOT PROPERLY RESOLVED. I THINK THIS COMMON ISSUE NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED, AND A RECALL ISSUED SINCE BRAKES PLAY A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN THE SAFETY OF A CAR. IF I WAS NOT ON AN EMPTY ROAD OR IF I HAD A CAR RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, I COULD HAVE HAD A CAR ACCIDENT TODAY BECAUSE I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR RIGHT AWAY. I ENDED UP PRACTICALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION.

DRIVER'S INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE DOES NOT OPEN THE DOOR. MUST LOWER POWER WINDOW AND OPEN FROM OUTSIDE. IF IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, THIS COULD HAVE DEADLY CONSEQUENCES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AIR WAS CONTINUOUSLY LEAKING FROM ALL FOUR TIRES CAUSING THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INNER EDGE OF THE CHROME WHEELS BEGAN TO DETIORATE AND PIECES OF CHROME CHIPPED OFF CAUSING AIR TO LEAK FROM THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

THE WHEELS ON MY 2008 LINCOLN MKZ ARE CORRODING TO THE POINT THAT THE TIRES ARE LOOSING AIR. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE TIRES TAKEN OFF THE WHEELS SEVERAL TIMES AND CLEANED THE RIM ONLY TO HAVE IT CONTINUE TO CORRODE AND LEAK AIR AGAIN. IT IS RUINING MY TIRES AND IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD NOT KNOWING HOW QUICKLY THE TIRES WILL GO FLAT. MY MKZ HAS ONLY 48,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED. I HAVE TRIED TO DEAL WITH LINCOLN, BUT THEY ARE NO HELP. I LOVE MY MKZ BUT AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH LINCOLN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR RIMS OF THE VEHICLE WERE CORRODED WHICH CAUSED AIR TO LEAK FROM THE TIRES. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FRONT AND THE REAR RIMS WERE THE ORIGINAL FACTORY INSTALLED EQUIPMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.
