TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED NOTICE JULY 2016. AS OF 3/21/2017 NO MOVEMENT ON PROBLEM. 1. WHAT'S TO STOP LINCOLN FROM LETTING THIS RECALL GO UNTIL THEY FIND IT CHEAPER TO OFFER ME MONEY FOR CAR VS FIXING? THIS IS A GARAGE KEPT, 42,000 MILE CAR IN PERFECT CONDITION. 2. BECAUSE IT IS GARAGE KEPT AND HAS BEEN, ARE THE PROBABILITIES LOWER FOR A PROBLEM IF BAG GOES OFF? 3. IT'S WRONG THAT I CAN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY WIFE AND GRANDKIDS AROUND IN THE CAR. IT'S ALMOST A WORTHLESS CAR, WHICH GOES BACK TO #1. 4. KNOW THEY NEED TO SELL CARS TO HAVE MONEY, BUT THERE SHOULD BE A BETTER BALANCE AND AT SOME POINT THEY NEED TO HAVE NEW CAR SALES SHUTDOWN. %. RECALL #16V-384

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS NOTIFIED BY MAIL JUNE 1 2016 THAT MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. TO DATE I HAVE STILL NOT BEEN NOTIFIED BY MAIL THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO FIX MY CAR. I HAVE CALLED BOTH FORD AND LINCOLN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I AM IN REGION B AND PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN DISTRIBUTED YET. BOTH LINCOLN AND FORD WEBSITES STATE IT IS PRESUMED SAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR. THIS RECALL INFLICTS DEATHLY HARM ON PEOPLE. I AM EXPERIENCING HIGH ANXIETY DRIVING. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIPS WHO AGAIN STATE THEY HAVE NO PARTS AND FORD HAS NOT AUTHORIZED THEM TO DISTRIBUTE SAFE RENTAL CARS UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I ASKED BOTH FORD AND LINCOLN FOR A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL MY CAR IS FIXED THEY BOTH SAID NO. OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS HAVE GIVEN DRIVERS A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE IN. IT SHOULD BE MANDATORY FORD/LINCOLN PROVIDES US WITH A SAFE CAR! IT HAS BEEN 10 MONTHS SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED AND I STILL HAVE NO ESTIMATED DATE OF PARTS BEING AVAILABLE. UNTIL THEN I AM STUCK DRIVING MY DANGEROUS POTENTIALLY DEADLY VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP ME!

WHEELS, TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
TIRE PRESSURE GOES DOWN QUICKLY. I SET TIRE PRESSURE AND WITHIN 2 DAYS THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. VEHICLE BECOMES UN STABLE AT SPEED AND IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I WAS DRIVING AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE DIRECTION OF THE VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN. MY MECHANIC SAYS THE CHROME FINISH ON THE WHEELS HAS CORRODED AT THE BEAD AREAS WHERE THE TIRE MOUNTS AND CAUSES FAST TIRE PRESSURE LOSS. THESE ARE FACTORY WHEELS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN ABS ENGAGES, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES REALLY SQUISHY, AND HAS TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. DOESN'T FEEL LIKE IT WOULD BE ABLE TO STOP IN EMERGENCY SITUATION. HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS, BUT HASN'T BEEN AN ISSUE IN DRY CALIFORNIA. NOTE CALIFORNIA IS WET, AND IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. ABS SEEMS OVERLY EAGER TO ENGAGE, AND THIS CONDITION TAKES DAYS BEFORE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMS NORMAL AGAIN.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT ALLOWS WATER TO LEAK INTO IT AND THEREFORE SHORTS OUT ELECTRICAL ITEMS. SO FAR I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY BATTERY, THE STARTER FUSE, AND THE TAIL LIGHT FUSE. REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IS THE ONLY WAY FOR ME TO HAVE TAILLIGHTS AGAIN ON THIS VEHICLE. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED ON THE FREEWAY ONE NIGHT BECAUSE MY TAILLIGHT FUSE SHORTED OUT DURING THE DRIVE. THE WATER IN THE HEAD LIGHT ACCUMULATED OVER TIME, SO I CANNOT PINPOINT EXACTLY WHEN THE SEAL BROKE, BUT THERE IS NO REPAIRING THE SEAL. I'VE BEEN ON MANY VEHICLE FORUMS AND HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH MANY OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT COLLECTING WATER.
