I am currently in a rental and have been for months. California code requires that, if a manufacturer or its representative is unable to repair the motor vehicle to conform to the vehicles applicable express warranty after a reasonable number of attempts. Its been two years, maybe longer. The vehicle is now in nonconformity for over 60 days.

Takata recall: I received notice the recall a year ago. I immediately called a Ford dealer about the recall who told me they would call when ready to replace my air bag. I have not been contacted nor gotten my air bag replaced.

I currently have a rental car because of the "takata recall", but the main issue is the traction control function. The adjustments made when traction control is on, during periods of rain have almost cause 3 collisions I think of. Its not like a loss of power steering, but an overcompensation. It feels ready to hydroplane when ever there is heavy rain. I have also replaced all four wheels and it makes no difference.

I have received safety recall notice with a fault in airbag inflator. Its been 9 months and car manufacturer doesn't have a remedy. In future if there is collision then this vehicle driver risks a serious physical injury. I would like NHTSA facilitate a speedier replacement of the defective part.

The passenger frontal airbag inflator has been recalled in March 2017. As of today, 2017.10.24, the certified Lincoln dealer in austin Texas does not have a replacement for this recalled item. I called in March and again today, and replacement parts are not available. This is a safety issue that should be fixed before a potential airbag deployment happens.
