general problems of the 2007 Lincoln MKZ - part 1

Varsity Ford Lincoln is refusing to fix open recalls. My vehicle has been sitting with them for 90 days. Lincoln is refusing to help. Now the dealership in a letter is stating they are not going to fix the open recalls because I have to pay them money to fix my brakes before they'll do that in a text. They are extorting me.

Dealership and Lincoln refusing to repair.

Car is inoperable due to the brake issue and airbag issue. Lincoln refuses to assist with getting it towed or working with the dealership. They will say that they do these things or are trying to help but they do not. This has been going on for 5 years. Dealerships will not fix the vehicle because the vehicle is too old they are telling me. The car is sitting and cannot be driven and nobody will help. I can't sell it I can't drive it I can't use it I can't do anything.

The window failed to go up when the button was depressed. The engine and air bag warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who informed the contact that there was no wheel bearing work completed on the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 210,000.

See attached document for complaint.

Brakes have failed. Cannot even get to dealership because of this for the repair. Also, airbag light is still on and no repair listed for recall issue.

I believe my car uses takata airbags and it has been over a year since the recall was issued. No remedy has been suggested.

They've yet to find a remedy for either of these recalls. I'm complaining because I'd hate for someone to end up hurt before they figure out how to fix this. It's been 2yrs on the brake recall, this is getting rediculous.

Passenger airbag not functional.

The heating element in the driver's seat is known to go bad in the 2007 models and I think some 2008 Ford models vehicle also. When I push the electric heat seat button it will turn red for a minute but the heating element will not work in the back or in the seat area of the driver's side. Other people I know have had the same problem with their Ford same here different model and make and have found the solution to be a new wiring harness / connector to replace the factory one apparently one of the wires burnt out from the factory causing it to short. Are videos of this on youtube thank you for any and all help. It started by getting extremely hot and turning off really quick on its own and every time after that turning off quicker and quicker until it would not turn back on only show the red light for a brief minute. . . . . . . . . . I have enclosed pictures information for the airbags on the passenger side that are suggested to be replaced again any help in resolving these problems would be greatly appreciate it thank you for the time.

Car was taken off road and given rental car due to airbag recall. After talking with king colonial Ford and Lincoln company they only replace one airbag and are putting it back on road refusing to cover rental any longer. Very concerned about danger of driving with still having a defective air bag on drivers side. Why is it safe to have same bag that was just removed from passenger side still on driver side ?.

Takata recall. We/ve been waiting for over two years to get our car repaied. When complaining to Lincoln, they offered a loaner. Have called the 2 closest dealers, and they have no loaners available.

Takata recall my vehicles airbag has been on recall for 2 yrs. With no replacement yet available. There has been deaths caused by this issue. It's past time to force the manufacturer to replace the defective part, and/ or sustain a sufficient fine. That would be on top of my personal lawsuit for loss of life and/or injury. Hard to comprehend why they're getting by for so long.
