"takata recall" I have received the recall papers like 7 months ago and I cant get any answers from anyone not even a dealership will give me answers about this and why I cant get it fixed I drive my car every day and I am in the florida heat also I don't feel safe driving the car and I have no choice but to drive a death trap. I would like answers and why its taking almost a year for a air bag to be replaced which don't make sense at all Ford builds new cars everyday in a factory probably thousands a week but they cant replace a air bag on a car that they already sold someone that they are driving? Don't make sense to me at all that building a car they haven't sold yet is more important than someone's life that bought there slap together china made air bags I want this forwarded to wh

Writing for an elderly friend whose car was part of the airbag recall. He lives in a rural remote community and the nearest dealership in port angeles informed him they were not doing these replacements. We do not know where to direct him to take his vehicle. He lives in forks wa (98331)

Takata recall. Got recall notice in the mail for a faulty airbag. Went to dealership where vehicle was purchased, and listed as a dealership capable of fixing the issue on the takata recall website, and they informed me they didn't nor were they going to have the replacement parts in stock any time soon. I want this issue fixed, free of charge, before an accident occurs.

I have received two notices by mail from tk holdings. First notice said there were no replacement airbags available yet and to wait for second notice. Second notice is of them filing bankruptcy and to contact my local dealer for free repair. I contacted witt Lincoln and they said they do not have replacement parts. How do I get free airbag replacement? I have not had an accident but need to get this fixed before I do.

Hpu has recall on it for brakes. My hpu failed once already. Lincoln dealership referred me to Lincoln. Recall is sometime next quarter when they have parts. Lincoln will not repair or provide loaner for now and told me to drive at own risk.I was approaching a stop when problem manifested itself. I was barely able to stop car and miss the car in front of me. Reported problem immediately. I don't think it responsible to drive a car with a known problem. It is my only means of transportation. Dealership opened sssc( Lincoln reporting mechanism) on vehicle.brake pedal went soft and to the floor but eventually did get it stopped. Vehicle wont stop in required stopping distance as per design and supply thereof. I am a very experienced driver but other drivers are unlikely to be able to respond

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 Lincoln mkz. While driving approximately 5 MPH and depressing the brake pedal in the snow, the ABS engaged. As a result, the brake pedal had to be depressed two or three inches toward the floorboard to stop the vehicle. The failure recurred three times. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

My 2008 Lincoln mkz has a diminished braking capability after an ABS event on the snow a few days ago. The ABS cycle worked, then my pedal has an extra inch or 2 of travel and feels unsafe. This is the third incident like this with the car in the 5 years I have owned after buying it certified pre-owned from Ford. When I research the problem on line, I see multiple cases in the 2006 to 2008 Lincoln mkz/zephr, the Ford fusion and the mercury milan. All of the on-line reports say the only fix is to replace the hydraulic control valve for the ABS system. None of appears to be covered by Ford. I am taking mine to the local Ford dealer tomorrow to have them look at mine and drive it while it is acting up. I feel something as critical to the safe braking of the vehicle that appears to be

Recall on brakes, no remedy available at this time. Have to replace both the front and back brakes as they are slipping and making extremely loud scratching noises. And I'm not willing to kill myself not my 2 month old because they won't be prepared to fix the issue for another 2 months. ## VIN passed ## [xxx] ## information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Was driving on a non-highway road about 45mph when I was coming up to a stop light. My brakes felt like they completely just gave out! Pedal went straight to the floor, there was no firmness or resistance on the brake pedal. I had to swerve and almost ended up in on coming traffic. It seems as though this is not a priority until there is a fatality! *tr

Chrome plating is flaking off, and tires consistently lose air pressure. I contacted ray price Ford in stroudsburg, pa and they said this sometimes happens, but not a warranty issue. I contacted my tire person and he tried to brush off the excess chrome around seal to get a bead, but no luck. A new wheel is around $400, so I got a used one. Similar issues, but not as frequent. However, other wheels are beginning to have the same issue (losing air pressure). A set of new wheels would be over $1500, which is not a viable option. Very disappointed with a 'high quality' manufacturer (Lincoln). *js

Car was bought new in 2008 from local Ford/Lincoln dealer, dempewolf Ford, henderson, ky, and always garage kept and dealer serviced. Tires begain to loose air pressure several months ago. When examined by purcell tire, henderson, ky, they said that chrome was flaking off leaving a pitted surface and that bead would not seal against pitted surface. Car is equipt with optional chrome plated 17" wheels. Tires become seriously underinflated weekly. I have just had purcell apply bead sealer but they say it is probably not a long term fix. They say that only solution is new wheels. *tr

These wheels are identified as 17" 8 spoke machined & painted aluminum wheel which began to corrode and peel around 2011. They leak air around the contact of the rim and tire because of the corrosion. This condition requires having the wheel taken apart and corrosion removed then reassembling the wheel and re-balancing the tire assembly before re-installing back on to car. Depending on several conditions as climate and temperature and when tire assembly last serviced air loss varies from 10% to more than 30% from manufacturer 's suggested tire inflation pressure. I have averaged servicing these four tires at least 6 times or more a year for the last three years. I have contacted both the car dealer and Ford motor co. The dealer says it is up to Ford to put out a recall for replacement whee

The chrome coating on the wheels is defective and flakes off. This does not allow the tires to seat properly with the wheels, causing them to lose pressure. Eventually this can damage the tires by having them repeatedly driven under the recommended pressures. Numerous attempts by my tire dealer to remedy the situation, under their warranty, have been frustrating as the issue is not of their making. I have researched this issue on a number of Lincoln mkz forums and this is a common complaint among owners. *tr

Driver's interior door handle does not open the door. Must lower power window and open from outside. If in a serious accident, this could have deadly consequences.
