The takata recall is potentially life threatening and unfortunately lincoln offers no solution to the customer and that is something that is not being taken seriously by the company . I have received letter after letter warning me that corrosion of the fuel tank is defective and directions to take the to a lincoln dealer. I have been to the dealer over 3 times and everytime its a different excuse as to why nothing can be done. I smell gas fumes all the time and have seen visible rust on the fuel tank. I received letters saying I would be able to drive a temporary rental and as usual every rental is already out within 100 miles of me. I called lincoln and asked if there are any near new york a metropolitan area and none what so ever can be found. So in ending I have a rolling death trap that can potentially ignite in flames or seriously injure if not kill anyone who sits in the passenger seat if I were to get into an accident. Please help however possible as this is a complete lack of attention from the company.
