3 Side/window Air Bag problem of the 2009 Lincoln MKZ

Failure Date: 07/14/2018

Takata recall: I am filing a complaint regarding the continued delays by Lincoln/Ford to resolve my passenger side airbag issue. This has been going on for appx 2 years and is absolutely ridiculous. The NHTSA needs to force them to resolve the issue soon, or have Lincoln/Ford replace the vehicle. They are dragging their feet. We continue to receive letters that say the solution is coming, but we see no tangible resolution and the date keeps getting pushed out.

Takata recall. Over 2 years ago Ford motor CO issued a recall for my vehicle for the passenger side air bags. Ford is doing nothing for me and is ignoring my requests for help. They actually sent me a letter that instructed me to not use the front passenger seat in my car. How ridiculous is that?.
