Takata recall - for three weeks now, I've been trying to schedule a repair on my Lincoln Mkx's passenger side airbag after getting the notification from Lincoln motor company + my safety recall number. All four of the Lincoln Ford dealerships near me in washington are either (1) not calling me back, or (2) have a wait list of customers that is 450 owners deep (evergreen Lincoln Ford)!!! that is a two year waitlist. This recall sounds serious, but it seems the dealerships around me have zero incentive or desire to fix a potentially deadly defect in the airbag. Maybe because it is free? I'm unsure but I wanted to formally log this complaint because all of the videos, letters, messages from Lincoln motor company state this defect is very dangerous, but the dealerships dont care. It's terrifying that myself, my family, my children, or friends could die because of shrapnel thrown out by this defective airbag should there be an accident.

We received the recall in June for a leaky fuel tank. We had that fixed. In July 2016 we received the recall for the faulty takata passenger side airbags. We went into bill knight Lincoln in tulsa, ok only to find out that there are no parts to fix it. In the meantime, a friend of mine initially got a unlimited loaner car because of the nature of her counseling job with children. She drove different cars in the meantime while I have been stuck with the warning of possible serious injury or death to occupants in the car for the last 8 months. It is stressful for me to think about that, to say the least, for me and for anyone else who might be with me in the car. Since the recall, no one sits in the passenger side. Friends and family have to sit in the back. Even so, I still don't feel we are all free from dangerous flying debris if the airbag deploys, by no fault of my own. Are there any solutions set in place to expedite replacement. Btw, my friend received her replacement airbag months ago. She then traded in that car for a new one. Regretfully, some of us do not have that luxury.
Received recall letter in 2016 and another recall letter in may 2018 about pass side air bag, to this date I have receive no remedy for this issue and I am unable to use my vehicle for my family as no one can ride on the left side.
