TAKATA RECALL: FORTUNATELY, MY AUTO HAS NOT YET BEEN IN A SITUATION THAT WOULD CAUSE THE FRONT AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY, HOWEVER, LACK OF ACTION ON THIS AIRBAG RECALL IS CAUSING ME ECONOMIC HARDSHIP. I DESIRE TO OBTAIN A NEW VEHICLE, BUT AM UNABLE TO TRADE IN THE 2010 LINCOLN AS THE DEALER SAID THEY CANNOT SELL A VEHICLE UNDER AN ACTIVE RECALL, AND NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. I'VE REQUESTED AN UPDATE FROM THE FORD DEALER IN HUTCHINSON, MN MULTIPLE TIMES, AND HAVE VERY RUDELY BEEN TOLD THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AND TO STOP ASKING. SO, I CAN'T SAFELY DRIVE MY CAR, SELL MY CAR, OR REPAIR IT! THE TRADE IN VALUE HAS DRAMATICALLY DECREASED IN THE YEAR I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET RID OF THE VEHICLE. THIS TAKES CORPORATE IRRESPONSIBILITY TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL. WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG, AND WHY IS FORD AND ITS DEALERSHIPS BEING ALLOWED TO BE SO RUDE AND IRRESPONSIBLE?
TAKATA RECALL PARTS STILL NOT AVAILABLE, AND NO COMMUNICATION FROM FORD REGARDING THE STATUS OF RECALL.

IN DECEMBER, 2017 A 2ND LETTER ARRIVED FROM LINCOLN ADVISING ME THAT I SHOULD NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE FRONT ROW PASSENGER SEAT, AND THAT LINCOLN EXPECTED REMEDY PARTS TO BE AVAILABLE IN THE SPRING OF 2018.

HOWEVER, $45 PER DAY WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF RENTING AN EQUIVALENT VEHICLE. A CALL TO LINCOLN INFORMED ME THAT THAT CAR RENTAL ALLOWANCE HAS BEEN INCREASED TO $55 PER DAY (WHICH WILL STILL NOT COVER THE COST OF RENTING AN EQUIVALENT VEHICLE. I LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA WHERE THE HOT HUMID CLIMATE PUTS MY CAR AT GREATER RISK. IN THE MORE THAN TWO YEARS SINCE THE FIRST RECALL NOTICE FORD AND LINCOLN HAVE CONTINUED TO BUILD AND SELL NEW VEHICLES (PRESUMABLY WITH SAFE PASSENGER AIR BAGS). IF THEY ARE ABLE TO INSTALL SAFE AIR BAGS IN NEW VEHICLES, THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE THE SAME TECHNOLOGY AND PARTS TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. ANYTHING NHTSA CAN DO TO EXPEDITE THE REPAIR OF MY VEHICLE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

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.

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.

TAKATA RECALL WE PURCHASED A 2010 LINCOLN MKZ FROM A LINCOLN DEALERSHIP NOW OWNED BY "FORD GALAXY" IN HOUSTON, TX AND HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 8 YEARS. IN JULY 2016 WE RECEIVED "SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 16S26" INDICATING PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR SHOULD BE REPLACED AND THAT IF A CRASH NECESSITATING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT MAY RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING VEHICLE OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. SINCE JULY 2016 WE HAVE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS REQUESTED THE AIRBAG INFLATOR BE REPLACED. THE LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY'S RESPONSE HAS BEEN "WE DO NOT HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS." IN DECEMBER 2017 WE RECEIVED A SECOND RECALL NOTICE THAT STATED WE SHOULD "NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE FIRST ROW PASSENGER SEAT". FOR 8 YEARS WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING A TICKING TIME BOMB. IT FEELS LIKE A PAGE OUT OF THE OLD FORD PINTO PLAYBOOK. THE LINCOLN SERVICE MANAGER AT GALAXY FORD TOLD US THIS MORNING THAT THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT INFLATORS. FROM AN OWNER'S PERSPECTIVE, IT IS UNIMAGINABLE THAT LMC CANNOT FIND REPLACEMENTS FOR THE DEFECTIVE PARTS IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS! IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

TAKATA RECALL: MY COMPLAINT IS THAT TAKATA AND FORD/LINCOLN ARE NOT TAKING THE RECALL SERIOUSLY. THIS RECALL IS ALMOST 3 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE RECEIVED 2 OR 3 NOTICES THAT BASICALLY SAY "WE'RE WORKING ON IT" OR NOTICES THAT TALK ABOUT THE BANKRUPTCY FILING OF TAKATA. WHY ARE TAKATA AND FORD/LINCOLN NOT BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SLOW PROCESS? SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUES WITH A NON-URGENT RESPONSE.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
