TAKATA RECALL I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL IN JULY 2016 AND WENT TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE AIR BAG REPLACED BUT WAS INFORMED THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART AND I MUST WAIT FOR NOTIFICATION THAT PART IS AVAILABLE. I RECEIVED SECOND NOTICE IN DECEMBER 2017 TELLING ME PART WILL BE AVAILABLE IN SPRING OF 2018 AND NOT TO ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. MY WIFE CANNOT SIT IN PASSENGER SEAT WHEN WE GO SOMEWHERE AND THIS HAS BEEN OVER 19 MONTHS. I AM HIRING AN ATTORNEY TO FILE SUIT FOR INABILITY TO USE MY VEHICLE AS PURCHASED. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. FURTHERMORE, Y PASSENGERS HAVE BEEN AT RISK FOR THE ENTIRE TIME.

TAKATA RECALL: I TALKED TO A PERSON AT NTSHA TODAY AND HE SAID I COULD REQUEST AN ON/OFF SWITCH THAT A MECHANIC CAN INSTALL IN MY CAR TO TURN OFF THE AIRBAG, UNTIL LINCOLN GETS THE REPAIR PARTS. I DIDN'T SEE ON SAFERCAR.GOV WHERE I COULD REQUEST THE FORM FOR THE SWITCH. PLEASE SEND ME THE PROPER DOCUMENTS OR PARTS SO I CAN GET THIS INSTALLED. THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

SERVICE BRAKES
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 A CHRONIC MODEL PROBLEM OUGHT TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD. THE PART IS EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE AND SHOULD BE DONE BY QUALIFIED SERVICE.

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.
