Takata recall - I received notice from Ford recently informing me that, once again, Ford has missed a deadline and cannot project a completion date. According to their november 30, 2017 letter to your office of chief counsel, Ford has failed to meet their prior commitments to NHTSA and, more importantly, their vehicle owners who are left with unsafe vehicles with no assurance of a timely remedy. According to Ford's letter, their failure is due to poor decisions on their part (e.g. Trying a "simple" design approach). As our agents representing the millions of at-risk consumers, I expect that NHTSA will not accept their open-ended request for extension, but rather enforce commitments made by Ford with appropriate actions to ensure that they are held accountable for their commitments and

Takata recall: this recall date is notice has a date of 06/01/2016. Today is 12/26/2017. No answer to this recall in over 18 months. It is clear that Ford/Lincoln does not intend to remedy this situation which is wrong! So, I am filing a complaint to force Lincoln to fix this problem before me or my wife are injured in this car due to an accident. This car is our primary mode of transportation and air bags are a very important part of vehicle safety. We always wear belts and expect the airbags to work properly in case of an accident.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Lincoln mkx. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 14v682000 (fuel system, gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
The brakes shutter when making stops and the pedal becomes hard then goes all the way down. This has happened many times whether at slow speeds in the city and highway speed, which almost LED to an accident because the vehicle almost did not stop. Also the ABS light comes on when driving on highway. I've had many parts replaced such as suspension front and rear, stabilizer arms in front, calipers, brake pads etc. But the vehicle continues to have this issue.
I was driving on 295 heading to foster ri. I was driving on the highway going about 55 MPH when my SUV started to buck then the check engine light started blinking and my SUV wouldn't even do 40 MPH so I got off the highway and pulled into a parking lot on hartford ave johnston waited for a tow truck while waiting my car stalled and wouldn't start back up. If I didn't get off the highway when I did I would of been involved in a car crash because I couldn't even do the speed limit. I feel this should be a recall because it's considered a safety issue to me. I had my car towed to tasca they said the diagnostic computer said it was the PCM, might have burnt out the coils and spark plugs. I feel this is very dangerous what if I wasn't where I could get off the highway it could of caused a bad

2007 Lincoln mk - 70k. Smelled gasoline several times at different locations today. Further investigation revealed that gasoline is leaking from the seam of the gas tank. Have seen multiple complaints on multiple sites including NHTSA for 2007 Lincoln mkx and the Ford edge(same gas tank assembly). The issue is occurring with these models around the same mileage. Ford needs to put out a recall on this item as it is a major safety concern and there should not be an issue with this part at this mileage. *tr
After noticing same fuel leak under my car , I took them to Ford dealership for inspection. Their technician found that fuel tank is heavily corroded around weld on the rear side of the fuel tank, and that fuel leaks at that place when the fuel tank is full. He told me that tank should be replaced. After that I talked with Lincoln representative and she told me that Lincoln doesn't cover fuel tank replacement after 5 year warranty or 50000 miles. *tr

tires 1 complaint shown
I have a 2007 Lincoln mkx. Within the past 3 months or so, I have had 3 different valve stem malfunctions (leaky stems on 3 different tires) resulting in my vehicle being disabled. The last one causing my tire to blow out. I was told by a tech that it was the valve stem on the first two tires so when my tire sensor warned me of low pressure today, I checked my stems. Sure enough...one was leaking. I was approximately 35 miles from home and it is christmas day...so I aired up my tire and headed home. Approx ten miles down the street, my tire blew out (beyond repair). I thank god that my son and I who were traveling alone were not injured...but with this being the 3rd leaky stem, I would say that there is truly a problem with my continental cross contact lx tires. I have size p245/60

When we purchased the vehicle from valley Cadillac in roanoke va in 2014. We smelled something burning a few days later. We took it back to the dealer who kept it for over a week. They told me that they would have to send it to the Ford dealer because they couldn't repair it.I was never was told what the issue was only that it cost upwards of $800. Here we are and I was stranded on i81 because the truck lost power and started vibrating . It was towed to a repair shop and I am mortified at the findings. The coil packs were bad. This is caused by the PCM computer failure.that information was not shared at time of purchase as something that needs routine maintenance.in addition, the fix was to weld a cracked and warped coil pack vs replacing it and he bad computer. Here I am $962 later and st
