Since 2 years ago Ford recalled these airbags and do nothing! I went to 2 dealers Lincoln in my area because I received letter from Ford stating that they will pay for a rental car up to 45$/day until this recalled car is done and none of dealers wanted to provide a rental car-both said that is not worthed and I will lose money if I rent. This car is dangerous and all of them turned me away. Ford send a letter stating that they will cover up to 45$ / a day for a rental. Riverhead NY dealer said I have to rent through them w hertz a Ford vehicle to qualify for this rental or another car up to 30$/day max because Ford will not pay!!! I found this weird and went to second Lincoln dealer brigh bay Lincoln in bay shore NY. Here story was a little changed: "you can rent through us w hertz any car up to 45$/day but you have to pay in advance a month for the rental and after to submit to Ford your rental expense and they will decide if they pay or not!!!!??? also you have to take this car with recall to your place and sign an affidavit that you will not use the car until is fixed!!! I ask why they don't keep the recalled car to them and said : no room! these guys at Ford Lincoln I think they do all they can not to give out another car and prefer that we risk our lives! maybe I should sue them!.
