POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PARKING SPACE AT A MAJOR STORE CHAIN LOCATION ALMOST LEVEL WITH A SLIGHT SLOPE TO THE REAR OF THE CAR. CAR WAS IN PARK UPON STARTING ENGINE, THEN PRESSED THE REVERSE BUTTON, TOOK FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, AND THE CAR DRIVES FORWARD INSTEAD OF REVERSE. THEN IMMEDIATELY STEPPED ON THE BRAKE. REPRESSED AND VERIFIED THAT THE REVERSE BUTTON WAS LIGHTED, THE BACK UP CAMERA WAS APPEARING ON THE SCREEN, AND THE R INDICATOR NEAR THE SPEEDOMETER WAS HIGHLIGHTED. THEN REMOVED FOOT FROM BRAKE PEDAL AND SLOWLY PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND ONCE AGAIN THE CAR MOVED FORWARD AND MADE A LOUD BANGING SOUND AND THE CAR JERKED LIKE IT HAD STRUCK SOMETHING. IMMEDIATELY STEPPED ON THE BRAKE, PUT CAR INTO PARK AND TURNED IT OFF, GOT OUT TO CHECK FRONT AREA TO SEE IF IT HAD STRUCK AN OBJECT. NO OBJECT HAD BEEN STRUCK, SO IT APPEARS THE LOUD BANGING SOUND AND JERKING MOTION MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE TRANSMISSION? GOT BACK INTO THE CAR RESTARTED THE ENGINE, PRESSED THE REVERSE BUTTON, THIS TIME THE CAR MOVED BACKWARDS AS IT SHOULD. DROVE STRAIGHT HOME AND LET CAR SIT UNTIL NEXT DAY WHEN I TOOK CAR TO THE LINCOLN DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT WHO KEPT THE CAR FOR 5 DAYS AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I AM CONCERNED THIS COULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE?

TAKATA RECALL - NOTICE OF "RECALL" RECEIVED 7/29/16 TO WHICH LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY STATED THAT THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. IN RESEARCHING IT WAS FOUND THAT THE COMPANY PREDICTED THAT A RESOLUTION WOULD BE AVAILABLE THROUGH 2019 BY STATE IN WHICH IT WAS NOTED THAT MY STATE, CALIFORNIA, WAS NOT EVEN LISTED. I SUGGESTED THAT A COMPARABLE LOANER BE MADE AVAILABLE OR DEALER AUTHORIZATION BE EXPEDITED TO DISABLE THE AIR BAG. LINCOLN RESPONSE DATED 8/5/16 WAS RECEIVED 8/13/16 IN WHICH THE COMPANY MERELY STATED "AT THIS POINT, THE GUIDELINES FOR THIS RECALL DO NOT INCLUDE A LOANER VEHICLE". IN THAT THE COMPANY DID NOT ELABORATE ON "THE GUIDELINES" NOR RESPOND TO WHETHER OR NOT THE LEGISLATION TO DISABLE THE BAG HAS BEEN LEGISLATED I AM IN RECEIPT OF A NON-RESPONSE AND CERTAINLY SEE THAT THIS IS NOT ANYTHING THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED A "RECALL". FURTHER DOES THE COMPANY AND NHTSA EXPECT THE OWNER OF THESE VEHICLES TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE AND OCCUPY THESE LETHAL VEHICLES?
