“Takata recall I contacted my local dealerships service department. They verified my recall. They explained that the parts are unavailable. I am concerned because the airbag light is on every time the car is running. I also have a recall for the carpet inserts. I have had many instances where my shoe get stuck on the metal piece near the chair.”
NHTSA complaint #11055720, filed 2017-12, 125,000 miles“Takata recall. We/ve been waiting for over two years to get our car repaied. When complaining to Lincoln, they offered a loaner. Have called the 2 closest dealers, and they have no loaners available. Lincoln gives us the run around. My god, they're in the car business and I can't believe they don't have loaners available. My wife is scared to death to ride in this car. Can you help us?”
NHTSA complaint #11163120, filed 2018-12, 43,000 miles“Takata recall - I received recall letter july 2016. To this date the dealer (central florida Lincoln in orlando fl) cannot give me an answer as to when the airbag will be replaced. All they tell me is that they don't have the parts yet. I am very inconvenienced as I cannot have passengers in the front seat. I see that other vehicles have been repaired - when is Lincoln going to have parts to repair?”
NHTSA complaint #10967065, filed 2017-03, 80,000 miles“This is in regard to the latest airbag recalls on the ford model cars. I own a 2007 Lincoln MKZ and I have been having a problem with the warning light constantly being on since august of the year, 2014. I immediately took it to the ford dealership to have it checked out. I was told it would be very expensive to fix, but for me not to worry about it as long as the light didn't bother me. …”
