  AFTER ABS ACTIVATION ON A SNOWY ROAD, BREAK PEDAL NEEDS MUCH LONGER TRAVEL TO ENGAGE BRAKES THAN BEFORE THE ABS WENT OFF. PEDAL FEELS SPONGY AND REQUIRES MUCH GREATER DISTANCE BEFORE THE BRAKES FEEL LIKE THEY BEGIN TO APPLY. MULTIPLE ABS STOPS, 100 MILE OF TRAVEL AND A DAY OF NOT DRIVING IT HAVE NOT MADE THE PROBLEM ANY BETTER. CAR IS 2009 MKZ WITH 81000 MILES.

  TAKATA RECALL> NOTICE 16S26 / NHTSA RECALL 16V-384< I WAS NOTIFIED BY MAIL OF A RECALL OVER 5 YEARS AGO ON THE INFLATOR OF MY PASSENGER AIRBAG BUT FORD HAD NOT YET ARRIVED AT A DECISION ON HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. NOTIFICATION WOULD BE SENT WHEN THEY HAD A RESOLUTION. I BEGAN TO REGULARLY FOLLOW UP WITH DEALERSHIPS INQUIRING ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR MY CARS RECALL, BUT WAS REPEATEDLY TOLD THEY WERE STILL WAITING FOR ANY PARTS TO BE PROVIDED TO THEM. RECENTLY, JULY 2018, I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM FORD STATING THAT "A REPAIR IS AVAILABLE FOR YOUR VEHICLE" IN BIG RED LETTERS. IT GOES ON STATING "PARTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR YOUR VEHICLE". DETAILS OF RECALL AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR ME TO SCHEDULE MY CAR FOR SERVICE LED ME TO CALL MY LOCAL DEALER TO SCHEDULE A FREE REPAIR. UNFORTUNATELY, THE SERVICE DEPT INFORMED ME THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG MODULES (AS OF OCTOBER 2018) SO ONCE AGAIN, I AM LEFT WAITING FOR A RESOLUTION AFTER 5 OR MORE YEARS OF WAITING. FORD WAS GIVEN MORE THAN ADEQUATE TIME TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IF THE PROBLEM WAS SERIOUS ENOUGH TO PROMPT A FULL PRODUCT RECALL, AND FORCE FORD TO PAY $299.1 MILLION SETTLEMENT IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, THEN IT IS SERIOUS ENOUGH THAT FORD SHOULDN'T STILL HAVE ALL OF THE UNSAFE VEHICLES WAITING FOR PARTS.FURTHERMORE, FOR FORD TO PREMATURELY NOTIFY OWNERS THAT PARTS ARE READY FOR INSTALLATION IN THEIR LOCAL DEALERSHIP SERVES TO PROVE THEY DON'T TAKE THE MATTER SERIOUSLY (SINCE THE VEHICLES ARE 10 YEARS OLD NOW) AND RESPECT FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS IS NOT A PRIORITY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND HOLD FORD ACCOUNTABLE BY TAKING ACTION, A DEADLINE SHOULD BE DESIGNATED WITHIN WHICH FORD MUST FURNISH PARTS AND BEGIN SERVICING AFFLICTED VEHICLES.I BELIEVE CORPORATIONS SHOULD BE HELD TO A HIGHER LEGAL STANDARD BECAUSE OF THEIR LIKELINESS TO CAUSE NEGLIGENT INJURY ON A MASSIVE SCALE.

• 11/10/2018· AIR BAGS

  TAKATA RECALL.

TWO PHONE CALLS TO DEALER ON 8/8/16 REGARDING THIS MATTER HAVE NOT BEEN RETURNED AS OF 11/9/16. FOUR MONTHS SEEMS TO BE A LONG TIME TO GET THIS ISSUED CORRECTED AS IT PUTS MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY IN HARMS WAY ANYTIME I DRIVE THE CAR WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. HOW LONG IS THIS EXPECTED TO TAKE FOR PARTS TO BE AVAILABLE AND THEN HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR THE DEALER TO HANDLE THE REPLACEMENT? FOUR MONTHS OF A KNOWN SAFETY HAZARD NOT BEING FIXED IS TOO LONG IN MY OPINION.

• 10/30/2017· AIR BAGS

  TAKATA RECALL IN MARCH OF 2017 I RECEIVED A LETTER BY MAIL FROM THE LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY ALERTING ME OF AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL. IN OCTOBER OF 2017 I RECEIVED A LEGAL NOTICE BY MAIL FROM TK HOLDINGS INC. INSTRUCTING ME TO CONTACT MY NEAREST DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY TO SCHEDULE A FREE REPAIR. I LOOKED FURTHER INTO THE MATTER VIA WWW.AIRBAGRECALL.COM TO VERIFY THE STATUS OF THIS RECALL ONLY TO DISCOVER "RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." THE REASON FOR THIS FORMAL COMPLAINT IS SIMPLE. I USE THIS VEHICLE AS MY DAILY DRIVER, MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, WITH PASSENGERS. I AM SIMPLY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY, OTHER POTENTIAL PASSENGERS AND MYSELF. I REGISTERED MY EMAIL ADDRESS WITH TKRESTRUCTURING.COM/PPIC TO HOPEFULLY BE KEPT INFORMED ON THE MATTER. I BELIEVE 10 MONTHS TIME FROM WHEN THE RECALL WAS RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC IS ENTIRELY TOO LONG TO ALLOW CUSTOMERS TO OPERATE A POTENTIALLY LETHAL VEHICLE WITHOUT REMEDY. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT I RECEIVE QUICK AND JUST ACTION TO FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE A LIFE ALTERING EVENT COULD TAKE PLACE. THANK YOU FOR, THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN, AS WELL AS YOUR TIME AND EFFORT.

• 10/17/2021· WHEELS

  The Lincoln Mercury factory chrome plated rims leak air all the time making the tires low on air or flat very often! This is a very dangerous safety hazard that can cause loss of control and having an accident resulting in serious bodily injury or death! There are many numerous other Lincoln car owners that report the same symptoms and problems. The manufacturer never plated the rims properly with nickle prior to chrome plating, thus the chrome coating constantly peels off and corrodes; thus air leaks past the tire bead and the rim surface. This sounds like a giant class action lawsuit!! I am are both very upset and scared to drive under these horrific conditions, but I have no choice as news factory rims are very expensive and I cannot afford them since I am disabled and on a fixed income.
