general problems of the 2007 Lincoln MKX - part 1

My 2007 Lincoln Mkx was in drive with the brake depressed waiting to back up into a traffic lane from an angled parking space in front of a small shop in our historic downtown area. Suddenly, the vehicle accelerated forward at a high rate of speed jumping the shallow curb and slamming into the cement foundation of the store. Continuing to depress the brakes made no difference in stopping the jarring unintended forward motion. The speed moving forward was so high that in the 10-12 feet from the curb to the store entrance the impact demolished the entire front of the vehicle even bending the front axels. The airbags did not deploy at all. The witness interviewed, reported loud screeching tires as her back was to the scene during the collision. Local pd, ems and fire all responded, with a full police report filed. It was extremely fortunate no person was either on the sidewalk or in the entrance to the storefront. My injuries included severe bruising to the right side of my neck, as well as a hematoma on my right tibia and an oblique fracture to bones in my right foot. There were no passengers in the car with me. The accident, and extreme concern over the malfunction of the vehicle allowing it to take control away from myself as the driver, has been reported to Ford Lincoln and a claim number established. My insurance company took possession of the vehicle from the tow lot after three days after determining it was a total loss. To reiterate, there was no warning at all before the incident. I was simply waiting for traffic to clear, so I could put the vehicle from drive into reverse and pull out of the parking space.

The contact owned a 2007 Lincoln Mkx. The contact stated that while driving at 50 mph, he dosed off and hit a tree. The air bags did not deploy upon impact. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was able to be driven back to his home after the accident. The contact sought medical treatment for an injury to his pelvis due to the accident. The vehicle was placed under NHTSA campaign number: 21v158000(air bags) but was never serviced. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle was totaled. The failure mileage was approximately 240,000.

I purchased the vehicle a few months ago from a small used dealership in anderson, SC. The seller/owner raved about the condition of the car and all seemed well until after the purchase when I discovered there was an open recall for the driver's airbag. However, when I contacted the local Ford dealership and the NHTSA website I found there is "no remedy" available from Ford. According to various websites, I find that the risk factor is listed as red due to the extreme temp variation and perpetual humidity in south carolina, but some state is getting these replacement bags, though not here. We do not have a garage or carport so the car is outside and subject to all the variations constantly. I can find no means of notifying Ford that I am the new owner of this VIN so will never receive the mandated mail notification. I am elderly and do not believe I should have to wait until there is an explosion in order to get some action. Takata cannot be the only manufacturer of airbags. My vehicle needs to be made safe now and not then. Somehow I would bet that a bag is available if I were able to afford it on my own.

"takata recall"I have received a recall notice for my Lincoln in December 2017. And my vehicle have not yet had my takata airbags repaired. I have contacted the Lincoln in pines blvd many times and they do not solve the problem. I was in there with the recall notice in spring of 2018 and nothing happened. That was the date provided on the notice. We are in November 2018 and they are passing almost two years. The Lincoln are expensive cars and the maintenance also cost too much. I can not believe they can not assist people in this dangerous situation. If takata airbags deploy, they spray metal debris toward vehicle occupants and may cause serious injury. Safety recall notice 16s26/NHTSA recall 16v-384. I am feeling so bad with the unsafe condition of the car.

I answered the questions to see if my car was part of the recall. The computer said no. I know for a fact and I have the recall papers, but it also said there were no parts at the dealership to fix it. I live in a remote part of nebraska and a rental car is not available. So what am I to do if I cant drive my car. You system to file to be part of the settlement sucks.

Takata recall - Ford/Lincoln provided a mid-size SUV rental for 1week and a half, then asked that I take a compact vehicle. I bought a Lincoln Mkx (mid size SUV) and would like a similar rental while a fix/repair is provided for my vehicle. If my family wanted a compact vehicle we would've bought one, we bought a Lincoln mks (mid size SUV) as that's what my family needs. I would like Ford/Lincoln to accomodate to the level of vehicle owned. As of now, I'm being �forced� to continue driving a vehicle that's not safe, putting my family/passengers at risk. If Ford can't accomodate this may�be they should look at buying the vehicle back and I will go purchase another mid-size SUV that's safe for my family. As of now, I'm driving an unsafe vehicle as Ford will not provide a similar vehicle. Please help!!!.

Takata recall. I have not received the appropriate notice to let me know that the part is in for repair. December 2018 will be 1 year from the initial recall notice and that has been far too long.

Takata recall - I received notice from Ford recently informing me that, once again, Ford has missed a deadline and cannot project a completion date. According to their November 30, 2017 letter to your office of chief counsel, Ford has failed to meet their prior commitments to NHTSA and, more importantly, their vehicle owners who are left with unsafe vehicles with no assurance of a timely remedy. According to Ford's letter, their failure is due to poor decisions on their part (e. G. Trying a "simple" design approach). As our agents representing the millions of at-risk consumers, I expect that NHTSA will not accept their open-ended request for extension, but rather enforce commitments made by Ford with appropriate actions to ensure that they are held accountable for their commitments and decisions. To do otherwise would constitute a failure of NHTSA to fulfill its mission.

Takata recall: this recall date is notice has a date of 06/01/2016. Today is 12/26/2017. No answer to this recall in over 18 months. It is clear that Ford/Lincoln does not intend to remedy this situation which is wrong! so, I am filing a complaint to force Lincoln to fix this problem before me or my wife are injured in this car due to an accident. This car is our primary mode of transportation and air bags are a very important part of vehicle safety. We always wear belts and expect the airbags to work properly in case of an accident.
