My vehicle has an air bag that is listed as a possible defective unit. Ford and lincoln have not contacted me about a replacement, and I have traveled to my dealer, carriage ford, clarksville in 47130, and they tell me it is impossible to obtain one of the replacement devices, and there is no anticipated delivery date for these.
"takata recall"..in july of 2016, I was notified that my vehicles takata air bag was faulty and needed to be replaced. That was 16 months ago. It is very disturbing to know that if you have an accident, you may be seriously injured by metal fragments emitted from the device. Furthermore, I asked several lincoln dealer employees, about the air bag recall situation, many replied that they are still waiting for something to be done for their vehicles airbags also. I am 84 years old, I have owned 4 lincoln cars. It is irresponsible of your company to wait over a year (16 months in my case) to not remedy a potential mechanical hazard in your product. If you have an accident, you might survive it, but the air bag will likely kill you. Unless I hear a great reason for this pitifully long wait for replacement, I plan to sue your takata company and also the ford motor company for negligence and malicious neglect. Best regards
Takata recall: ford dealer is still unable to obtain replacement airbags as of october 20, 2017.

Takata recall: I was informed about the takata recall in july 2016, one year ago. A copy of the recall notice is attached. Lincoln claims they do not have the parts to repair the passenger frontal air bag. They do not know when they will get the parts. Since the airbag inflator my rupture in a crash, I have a risk of a serious accident. A lincoln customer support agent told me that my vehicle has a low risk of the inflator rupturing since the risk depends on the age of the vehicle. My zephyr is almost 12 years old. Shouldn't lincoln be repairing 2006 zephyrs? What is the risk of a dangerous rupture?

Takata inflators: re:--letter received from the lincoln motor company dated march 2017 ***important safety recall***passenger frontal air bag inflator may rupture etc.-- safety recall notice 17s01 / the federal safety agency recall 17v‑024 --the lincoln motor co., has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in your vehicle, with VIN shown above. (problem) --- it has now been approx. 5 months since we received above referenced letter and although, we have contacted our local dealership on numerous occasions , there has not been a positive response as to when this recall will be consummated. (letter also stated) a ruptured inflator may result in metal fragments striking vehicle occupants, causing serious injury or death. ( is this to be interpret) -- that now that I have been informed, and continue to drive this vehicle, all liability associated with injury and or death is no longer a responsibility of lincoln motor co.??? --(recent t.v. News broadcast stated)-- company that manufactured air bags has filed for backruptcy, due to numerous air bag ruptures, that resulted in 19 confirmed deaths. I asked for a loaner car until this matter is resolved an it fell om deaf ears. --what is my next coarse of action.???

Takata recall I feel like I should have heard by now when the manufacturer is going to replace the passenger frontal airbag inflator in my vehicle? I have a zephyr 2006 and it's 2017 and still no update on when they are going to replace the defective part. Why does it take so long? This is my complaint.
