I asked about a loaner the rep told me only the service manager can approve that and I was sent to his desk where I left a message. I didn't receive a call back. (there is a google review regarding my experience). After receiving yet another recall notice last week I dreadfully attempted to schedule an appointment to get this fixed. Which was today at 7:45, last week I expressed again the need for a loaner the guy who answered the phone advised me they had 40 loaners out but he can see what he can do. Today I arrived waited 20 mins and todd comes to my vehicle I advised them what I was there for and he stated there are no loaners but he will give me a call and update me. No one has called me.

59 Air Bag problem of the 2007 Lincoln MKZ

Failure Date: 12/02/2018

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.
