Failure Date: 07/06/2016

Takata recall - I received a recall notice letter from Lincoln motor company dated July, 2016. The letter stated my vehicle was identified in the takata air bag recall and that when parts are available I will be notified by letter. It has been over 7 months and still no letter notifying of parts availability or for me to schedule a repair. How much longer before the parts are available?? it is stressful waiting for this repair, especially when I have loved ones riding with me that can be injured or worse due to faulty air-bags. A 7 month wait is a bit ridiculous. Also, I've inquired with my local Lincoln dealer and have been informed the repair will take 4 hours. Lincoln or takata should provide me with a rental while my vehicle is being repaired. I should not have to wait at the dealer 4 hours while the vehicle is repaired due to no fault of my own. Thanks for reading. I look forward to your response/update on this recall. Darlene davis darlene22952@gmail. Com.

"takata recall" - safety recall notice 16s26/NHTSA recall 16v-384 first notice letter dated July, 2016 - second notice letter dated December, 2017 how long before this hazard airbag is replaced? waiting over a year for a replacement of this dangerous airbag is unacceptable. The potential of risk of death/injury is unacceptable. I called Ford and was told by the customer service rep. That she "feels its safe", however, her "feeling" its safe for my family to ride in this car with this airbag under recall is not good enough for the safety and well-being of myself and my loved ones. She did not "guarantee" it was safe. Having a potentially dangerous airbag in my vehicle and what could happen should it deploy is causing me a great deal of stress every time I drive this vehicle and/or have my beloved family ride in this vehicle. And, I am growing weary and agitated with the excessively long wait for a replacement airbag. What action is being done to expedite the replacement airbags in affected vehicles? how much longer must one wait for this to be resolved? please let me know something regarding a timeline for resolution/replacement. I want this airbag replaced ASAP. Thanks.
