Takata recall. I have been calling Lincoln on a regular basis for 2 years hoping to get my airbag replaced. I keep getting the same old story of "it will be ready in 4-6 months". the date keeps getting pushed out. They need to expedite these repairs.

"takata recall". the first recall notice from Lincoln motor was in July 2016.a second notice was sent in December 2017 stating repair would be done in the spring of 2018. Gave a warning "do not use front passenger seat" after almost 2 years the repair still has not been done. The vehicle has only 42000 miles and is not used except for infrequent short local trips with only the driver in the vehicle

We received a letter from Lincoln motor co. In December 2017 notifying us of a potential of an air bag explosion in our 2010 Mkx. We were told not to allow anyone to sit in the passenger side front seat until the problem could be remedied. It's now March 28, 2018 and I called Ford customer service. I was told I need to be patient and continue to leave the vehicle parked and use a different vehicle or have any passengers ride in the back seat because they still don't have the parts to fix it. My question is: If this so called safety device is the safety hazard which could result in injury or death, why can't it be disconnected or disabled. Expecting people to travel without being able to use the passenger front seat or use an alternate vehicle because a safety device that vehicles did without for over 100 years is the real safety issue is certainly a fools solution to the problem. If there are so many vehicles in need of these parts that they can't be repaired in a timely manner, then maybe there needs to be an alternative solution.

Takata recall -- the Lincoln motor company has forwarded a letter dated December 2017 stating -- "warning: Until remedy parts become available, do not allow anyone to sit in the first row passenger seat." This makes our car basically useless. When I contacted mountain view Ford/Lincoln dealership today at 423-756-1331 and asked if they would disconnect just the passenger airbag and they stated that it was unlawful. Yet, I can be notified that my vehicle is not basically usable because someone could be injured or killed!!! who do I contact to get my passenger airbag disconnected so my husband and I can utilize the vehicle since this is our only vehicle.

"takata recall" received recall letter many months ago. Dealer says no remedy yet from takata. Received December 23, 2017 a bankruptcy chapter 11 notice from tk holdings (takata). Checked with dealer again and there is no remedy for this since original recall number 16S26, June 2016, NHTSA recall number, 16V384. Considering the seriousness of this recall, when can the consumer expect this to be corrected

"takata recall", for 2 years I have been receiving info. Regarding this recall and for 2 years have been contacting the dealership, to hear the same thing over and over that they still do not have the parts to replace this airbag, so how many people have to get killed from this before the problem is resolved. Some one ran a stop sign and ran into my car good thing the air bag did not go off since my granddaughter was seated in the passanger seat. Come on people tend to this once and for all. Just complaining about the situation not reporting the accident, there for the date listed below is the day that I sent this in.

Takata recall - I have 2 Lincoln Mkx vehicles, a 2010 and a 2008. The Lincoln dealership that I have called for one has been waiting on parts, apparently since the recall in 6/2016. I have called the companies listed on the airbagrecall.com website and none of them in my town do the airbag recall replacement. This recall seems to involve a very dangerous and life threatening situation and I would like to know where I can get the airbags in both of my vehicles replaced. The length of time that this has gone one is unacceptable.

I received a takata recall dated June 1, 2016 regarding a problem with airbags. I have not had a personal injury because of the airbag defect. However, I fear that the airbag inflator could rupture creating a risk of injury. I have been in contact with my Lincoln car dealer periodically and takata has never sent replacement parts to the car dealer and therefore the problem was never fixed. Since takata has now gone under chapter 11 bankruptcy I fear that the airbag parts will never be replaced.

Takata recall: Took my 2010 Lincoln Mkx to hooks Lincoln in fort worth, and asked them when I might expect to get my passenger side airbag replaced. The service manager told me to go back home and wait for a letter telling me when to bring my car in for the airbag replacement. It's been 16 months and I have not heard anything from anybody. I have friends that had the same recall on their Lexus vehicles and the airbags were replaced in less than 6 months form their notice. They were put in rent cars for that wait time at no charge to them. Hooks manager laughed at me when I asked for a rental car to await deliver of new airbag. Piss poor handling of so-called serious safety recalls.
