TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN OVER 2 YEARS SINCE WE WERE NOTIFIED WE HAD AN AIR BAG RECALL. I ALSO CONTACTED THEM AFTER TWO YEARS AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD NOT GOTTEN THAT FAR YET. I STRONGLY OBJECT TO HAVING TWO WAIT OVER TWO YEARS FOR SOMETHING THIS IMPORTANT TO OUR SAFETY. IF WERE HURT OR ONE OF US KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT AIR BAGS COULD HAVE KEPT US SAFE WE HAVE LEFT WORD TO SUE THE LIVING HECK OUT OF THEM. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MOVE THEM ALONG.

WHEELS
RETIRED US ARMY VETERAN,,,,BOUGHT CAR USED IN 2010 WITH APPROX. 25,0000 MILES FROM A DEALER. IT HAS CHROME WHEELS. AT APPROX 50,000 MILES & 2015, THE CHROME ON THE WHEELS STARTED PEELING AND I STARTED GETTING LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNINGS FROM SLOW LEAKING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER< ( ALWAYS DEALER SERVICED) THEY SAID THE RIM IS CORRODING AND THEY HAVE TO REMOVE THE WHEEL AND TIRE, BREAK DOWN THE TIRE OFF THE RIM, GRIND THE CARROTION OFF THE RIM, PUT SEALER ON IT AND REINSTALL AND REBALANCE THE TIRE. ITS NOT WARRANTEED, SO COST ME $35 AND TOOK 1/2 HR. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD THE OTHER 3 WHEELS DO THE SAME. I WAS QUOTED $845 TO REPLACE ALL 4 CHROME WHEELS WITH ALUMMINIUM WHEELS AND BEST TO DO THAT WHEN NEED NEW TIRES. I AM LOOKING FOR A SET OF USED ALUMMINUM WHEELS FOR IT INSTEAD. OR GET $1,000 LESS ON A TRADE IN FOR ANOTHER 2 YR OLD USED LINCOLN MKZ. I HAVE OPTED TO TRADE IT IN AND GET A 2016' MKZ. BUT WITH ALUM. WHEELS.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN DRIVING THE BRAKES STARTED GETTING SOFTER AS YOU PRESSED THE BREAK PEDAL BUT THE CAR WOULD STOP AT FIRST. THEN A WEEK LATER THE RIGHT FRONT BREAK WOULD ACTIVATE THE ABS AND PULL TO THE RIGHT EVERY TIME YOU STOP. THREE MECHANICS LOOKED AT IT FOR 45 MINUTES. BREAKS , ROTORS, MASTER CYLINDER, ALL WERE FINE. NO FLUID LOSS, ABS LIGHT, OR CODES. HAD TO REPLACE THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT AS SOME VALVES WERE STUCK OPEN. LOOKING ONLINE I SAW MANY OTHERS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. SO I REPORTED THIS
