1 Side/window Air Bag problem of the 2007 Lincoln MKX

Failure Date: 01/09/2019

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.

7 Side/window Air Bag problem of the 2007 Lincoln MKX

Failure Date: 07/01/2016

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.

10 Side/window Air Bag problem of the 2010 Lincoln MKX

Failure Date: 05/16/2016

Takata recall: took my 2010 Lincoln Mkx to hooks Lincoln in fort worth, and asked them when I might expect to get my passenger side airbag replaced. The service manager told me to go back home and wait for a letter telling me when to bring my car in for the airbag replacement. It's been 16 months and I have not heard anything from anybody. I have friends that had the same recall on their Lexus vehicles and the airbags were replaced in less than 6 months form their notice. They were put in rent cars for that wait time at no charge to them. Hooks manager laughed at me when I asked for a rental car to await deliver of new airbag. Piss poor handling of so-called serious safety recalls.
