TAKATA RECALL - I'M STARTING MY 4TH MONTH IN A RENTAL CAR SINCE MY MKZ WAS DEEMED UNSAFE FOR FRONT PASSENGERS. ARE THERE ANY UPDATES ON WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE? THOUGH THE RENTAL IS NICE ENOUGH, I WANT TO DRIVE MY CAR AND NOT STORE IT IN MY GARAGE. I LOVE MY MKZ!

STEERING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE MESSAGES "POWER STEERING FAILURE" AND "ADVANCE TRACKING FAILURE" DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (MAGIC CITY FORD, 809 WILLIAMSON RD. NE, ROANOKE, VA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY 2012 LINCOLN MKZ HAS A TAIL LAMP THAT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE, AND THE BRAKE LIGHT IS NOT AS BRIGHT AS THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 54,000 MILES. THE ENTIRE TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $300-$400 WHEN IN THE PAST A $3 BULB WOULD BE THE FIX. 14M03 TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLY EXTENDED COVERAGE SHOULD INCLUDE ANY FORD TAIL LIGHT WITH THIS PROBLEM. IN THE PAST, REPLACING A BULB WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT THE MANUFACTURER NOW PRODUCES A CAR THAT PLACES AN UNFAIR COST BURDEN ON THE OWNER. THE DESIGN IS RIDICULOUS AND MAY CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I CURRENTLY HAVE A RENTAL CAR BECAUSE OF THE "TAKATA RECALL", BUT THE MAIN ISSUE IS THE TRACTION CONTROL FUNCTION. THE ADJUSTMENTS MADE WHEN TRACTION CONTROL IS ON, DURING PERIODS OF RAIN HAVE ALMOST CAUSE 3 COLLISIONS I THINK OF. ITS NOT LIKE A LOSS OF POWER STEERING, BUT AN OVERCOMPENSATION. IT FEELS READY TO HYDROPLANE WHEN EVER THERE IS HEAVY RAIN. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED ALL FOUR WHEELS AND IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING THERE IS A LARGE POP SOUND AND THEN EXTREME STATIC / "WHITE NOISE" THAT COMES THROUGH THE SPEAKER SYSTEM EVEN IF THE AUDIO IS TURNED OFF. IT WILL PERIODICALLY DO THIS OFF AND ON AND IS EXTREMELY LOUD AND DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING. ALSO BECAUSE IT IS SO SPORADIC AND THE POP AND STATIC NOISE IS NEVER KNOWN WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IT HAS NEARLY CAUSED ACCIDENTS FROM BEING SCARED WHEN IT COMES ON SUDDENLY. IT DOES THIS WHILE CITY DRIVING OR HIGHWAY DRIVING. I CAN NOT TAKE A PICTURE OF A SOUND BUT I DO HAVE VIDEO AND YOU CAN ALSO YOUTUBE OTHER PEOPLES COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT BEGAN FOR ME ON JULY 24, 2018 AND HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN ON A DAILY BASIS SINCE THEN.

RECENTLY I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY ADVISING ME OF A RECALL REGARDING MY CAR'S AIRBAGS.

WHEN WILL THE SAFETY DEFECT BE REPAIRED ON MY VEHICLE? WHY AM I GETTING NOTICES OF THE RECALL BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE? PLEASE ADVISE ME WHEN THIS SAFETY ISSUE WILL BE RESOLVED.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY (17S01) STATING THE AIRBAG ON MY VEHICLE WAS DEFECTIVE AND I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. IT HAS BEEN 1 YEAR AND NO NOTIFICATION. I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURE HAS HAD SUFFICIENT TIME TO PRODUCE THE PART AND DISTRIBUTE TO DEALERS TO CORRECT THIS DEFICIENCY, YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THUS FAR THEIR HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT AND IT IS UNKNOWN IF THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY PROPERLY SHOULD A COLLISION OCCUR.
