Takata recall : I received a letter from lincoln motor company dated 3/2017. The letter stated my passenger side air bag is under recall due to a ruptured inflator may result in serious injury or death. It is now 10/30 and lincoln keeps saying the parts are not ready. Meanwhile I driving around in a dangerous car. I need to get this fixed. Please keep on top of lincoln to get this done..
Takata recall in march of 2017 I received a letter by mail from the lincoln motor company alerting me of an important safety recall. In october of 2017 I received a legal notice by mail from tk holdings inc. Instructing me to contact my nearest dealership immediately to schedule a free repair. I looked further into the matter via www.airbagrecall.com to verify the status of this recall only to discover "recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available." the reason for this formal complaint is simple. I use this vehicle as my daily driver, more often than not, with passengers. I am simply concerned for the safety of my family, other potential passengers and myself. I registered my email address with tkrestructuring.com/ppic to hopefully be kept informed on the matter. I believe 10 months time from when the recall was released to the public is entirely too long to allow customers to operate a potentially lethal vehicle without remedy. I can only hope that I receive quick and just action to fix this issue before a life altering event could take place. Thank you for, the opportunity to express my concern, as well as your time and effort. Sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I received a recall notice in june of 2016 and as of 10/26/2017 there are no parts available and I was told I would be contacted when they become available. Your recall status site says to file a complaint if I haven't received a remedy for this recall in a timely manner. What am I supposed to do? Wait for an accident and death? From what I understand, there is no remedy because they can't get the parts. I don't feel safe having anyone in this vehicle with me.

"takata recall" received recall for passenger airbag in march,2017. I have been told by dealership that the part is not available now and they cannot give a time when it will be available. Takata has now filed bankruptcy. My complaint is that I did not buy the car from takata, I bought it from a lincoln dealership. I don't understand why lincoln can't get another airbag for replacement. It is now october 20,2017. They have had enough time for this recall. I am fearful of a passenger riding in the car if the defective airbag should erupt and kill or injure someone. I can't sell the car. Who's going to buy a car with a recall for a takata airbag?
Takata recall dealer tells me they still do not have parts. I wish to join class action law suit before the date to file runs out due to lack of parts on dec 27th 2017

Takata recall - I received a recall notice letter from lincoln motor company dated july, 2016. The letter stated my vehicle was identified in the takata air bag recall and that when parts are available I will be notified by letter. It has been over 7 months and still no letter notifying of parts availability or for me to schedule a repair. How much longer before the parts are available?? It is stressful waiting for this repair, especially when I have loved ones riding with me that can be injured or worse due to faulty air-bags. A 7 month wait is a bit ridiculous. Also, I've inquired with my local lincoln dealer and have been informed the repair will take 4 hours. Lincoln or takata should provide me with a rental while my vehicle is being repaired. I should not have to wait at the dealer 4 hours while the vehicle is repaired due to no fault of my own. Thanks for reading. I look forward to your response/update on this recall.

Takata recall. In the month of july 2016 I received a letter from the lincoln motor company, dated july 2016 stating "when parts become available for safety recall 16s26, the lincoln motor company will notify you via mail to schedule a service appointment with your dealer to have the passenger frontal airbag inflator replaced." two phone calls to dealer on 8/8/16 regarding this matter have not been returned as of 11/9/16. Four months seems to be a long time to get this issued corrected as it puts members of my family in harms way anytime I drive the car with a passenger in the front seat. How long is this expected to take for parts to be available and then how long will it take for the dealer to handle the replacement? Four months of a known safety hazard not being fixed is too long in my opinion.

Tl* the contact owned a 2009 lincoln mkz. While driving at 60 MPH, another vehicle crashed into the rear passenger side of the contact's vehicle, causing it to crash into the guardrail.

Greeting....on two previous occasions when the vehicle was under warranty it was taken in for service due to the warning indicator/light relative to driver's seat belt/air bag. On both occasions the matter was corrected. However today 12 oct. 2014 the vehicle began experiencing the same problem. The first time the tech reported that persons riding behind the driver did/maybe caused the problem because the wiring harness is exposed. The second incident in which the vehicle was taken in I was informed the problem should not occur in the future.that last repair was some 10-15 months ago. However today when the problem light came on there were no one seated behind the driver. It appears there is/was a flaw in the design causing a potential danger to occupants of this vehicle. Each time the vehicle was serviced at fairway lincoln savannah ga. Also please note the dates and mileages are approximately.
