TAKATA RECALL- HAVE BEEN PROMISED A REPLACEMENT FOR YEARS. I CANNOT LET ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE AMOUNT THEY OFFERED ME FOR A TRADE IN WAS HALF WHAT I COULD HAVE RECEIVED FROM TWO BUYERS. HOWEVER, WHEN I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE AIRBAG, THE DEAL FELL THROUGH.

I PURCHASED A LINCOLN MKZ IN 2015 AND IN 2016, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD ABOUT A RECALL ON MY LINCOLN PASSENGER SIDE FRONTAL AIRBAGS. 2 YEARS LATER AND MONTHLY PHONE CALLS ABOUT REPAIR AND I CONSTANTLY GET THE RUN AROUND THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT IN YET. SOLUTION IS TO NOT PUT PASSENGER UP FRONT, WHICH IS NOT A VIABLE SOLUTION. I EITHER WANT MY CAR REPAIRED OR A REPLACEMENT. I DID NOT BUY A 5 PERSON PREMIUM CAR TO ONLY BE TOLD IT IS NOW A 4 SEATER. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNACCEPTABLE AND I WOULD LIKE HELP WITH WHAT I AM LEGALLY ABLE TO DO.
LEFT REAR WHEEL HAD CHROME FLAKE OFF AT THE POINT OF ATTACHMENT TO THE TIRE CAUSING AIR LEAK IN OCT 2015. WHEEL WAS REPLACED. RIGHT FRONT WHEEL HAD CHROME FLAKE AT THE TIRE SEAL CAUSING TIRE LOW PRESSURE. DEALER RECOMMENDS REPLACING WHEEL. CAR HAS APPROX. 54000 MILES. THE LOSS OF AIR IN THE TIRES IS SENSED BY THE TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR. IF TIRES ARE INFLATED IT TAKES ABOUT THREE DAYS UNTIL THE SENSOR LIGHT COMES BACK ON.
CHROME WHEELS DID NOT USE NICKEL UNDERCOAT AND CHROME PEELED OFF CAUSING AIR LEAKS AND DIFFERENTIAL WOULD MOAN FROM UNEVEN TIRE PRESSURE; BOUGHT 4 NEW AFTER MARKET WHEELS FOR $775 AND SOLVED PROBLEM. FRONT DRIVING LIGHTS ALLOWED WATER TO PENETRATE FROM VENT IN WHEEL WELL CAUSING TO FILL UP WITH WATER AND SHORTED OUT CONNECTORS. COVERED VENT HOLES. REWIRED CONNECTOR AND WATER PROOFED THE LIGHTING ASSEMBLIES BUT THEY ARE STILL VERY HAZY FROM WATER DAMAGE. DEALER WANTED $1,200 TO REPLACE THEM AND SAID IT IS COMMON. AFTER MARKET REPLACEMENTS COST $350 TO $500 EACH; PROBLEM STILL NOT RESOLVED AND MAKE AN OTHERWISE VERY PRETTY CAR LOOK LIKE CHEEP CRAP. VERY NICE CAR; STUPID FORD PROBLEMS.
THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT ALLOWS WATER TO LEAK INTO IT AND THEREFORE SHORTS OUT ELECTRICAL ITEMS. SO FAR I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY BATTERY, THE STARTER FUSE, AND THE TAIL LIGHT FUSE. REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IS THE ONLY WAY FOR ME TO HAVE TAILLIGHTS AGAIN ON THIS VEHICLE. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED ON THE FREEWAY ONE NIGHT BECAUSE MY TAILLIGHT FUSE SHORTED OUT DURING THE DRIVE. THE WATER IN THE HEAD LIGHT ACCUMULATED OVER TIME, SO I CANNOT PINPOINT EXACTLY WHEN THE SEAL BROKE, BUT THERE IS NO REPAIRING THE SEAL. I'VE BEEN ON MANY VEHICLE FORUMS AND HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH MANY OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT COLLECTING WATER.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT PURCHASED AN IGNITION COIL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT A REPLACEMENT COIL WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 190,000.
TAKARA RECALL I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM LINCOLN 3 YEARS AGO AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE, THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE HAS DECREASED AND I CANNOT SELL IT. THEY SHOULD BUY BACK THE CAR AT THE VALUE OF IT 3 YEARS AGO.
TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN OVER 2 YEARS SINCE WE WERE NOTIFIED WE HAD AN AIR BAG RECALL. I ALSO CONTACTED THEM AFTER TWO YEARS AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD NOT GOTTEN THAT FAR YET. I STRONGLY OBJECT TO HAVING TWO WAIT OVER TWO YEARS FOR SOMETHING THIS IMPORTANT TO OUR SAFETY. IF WERE HURT OR ONE OF US KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT AIR BAGS COULD HAVE KEPT US SAFE WE HAVE LEFT WORD TO SUE THE LIVING HECK OUT OF THEM. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MOVE THEM ALONG.
THIS IS MY FATHERS CAR. HE IS A WWII VET AND JUST SHY OF 98 YEARS OLD. WE JUST REPLACED AN AC ON THE CAR, AND NOW THE COMPUTER HAS FAILED AND NEED REPLACING. THE FEDERAL WARRANTY FOR THIS STATE IS 8 YEARS OR 80K MILES. THE CAR HAS 47K MILES AND THE 8 YEAR WARRANTY ENDED 1 MONTH AND 20 DAYS AGO. LINCOLN WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT TO EVEN PRORATE AN AMOUNT TO HELP HIM. THIS IS THE VEHICLE HE USES TO GET TO DR APPTS. I FIND IT HARD TO SWALLOW THERE LACK OF COMPASSION FOR HIM AND THEIR PRODUCT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V385000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE.

TONIGHT WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME, I CAME TO A RED LIGHT. WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES, THE BRAKES MADE A WEIRD SOUND, HIT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR. I PRESSED OFF THE BRAKE AND PRESSED IT AGAIN AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR AGAIN, BUT NOT AS MUCH AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED THE CAR. I PULLED OVER AND KEPT TESTING THE BRAKES AGAIN AND IT WAS STILL GOING TO THE FLOOR BUT THE EVENTUALLY STOPPED. LUCKILY I WAS ABOUT 5 MINUTES FROM HOME SO I DID NOT HAVE TO DRIVE MUCH FARTHER. WHEN I GOT HOME, I WENT ONLINE TO LOOK UP THE ISSUE AND I FOUND OTHER PEOPLE INQUIRING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. SOME PEOPLE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY AND THE ISSUE WAS STILL NOT PROPERLY RESOLVED. I THINK THIS COMMON ISSUE NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED, AND A RECALL ISSUED SINCE BRAKES PLAY A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN THE SAFETY OF A CAR. IF I WAS NOT ON AN EMPTY ROAD OR IF I HAD A CAR RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, I COULD HAVE HAD A CAR ACCIDENT TODAY BECAUSE I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR RIGHT AWAY. I ENDED UP PRACTICALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,197.
TAKATA RECALL. I WAS NOTIFIED BY MAIL JUNE 1 2016 THAT MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. TO DATE I HAVE STILL NOT BEEN NOTIFIED BY MAIL THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO FIX MY CAR. I HAVE CALLED BOTH FORD AND LINCOLN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I AM IN REGION B AND PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN DISTRIBUTED YET. BOTH LINCOLN AND FORD WEBSITES STATE IT IS PRESUMED SAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR. THIS RECALL INFLICTS DEATHLY HARM ON PEOPLE. I AM EXPERIENCING HIGH ANXIETY DRIVING. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIPS WHO AGAIN STATE THEY HAVE NO PARTS AND FORD HAS NOT AUTHORIZED THEM TO DISTRIBUTE SAFE RENTAL CARS UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I ASKED BOTH FORD AND LINCOLN FOR A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL MY CAR IS FIXED THEY BOTH SAID NO. OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS HAVE GIVEN DRIVERS A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE IN. IT SHOULD BE MANDATORY FORD/LINCOLN PROVIDES US WITH A SAFE CAR! IT HAS BEEN 10 MONTHS SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED AND I STILL HAVE NO ESTIMATED DATE OF PARTS BEING AVAILABLE. UNTIL THEN I AM STUCK DRIVING MY DANGEROUS POTENTIALLY DEADLY VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP ME!
DRIVER'S INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE DOES NOT OPEN THE DOOR. MUST LOWER POWER WINDOW AND OPEN FROM OUTSIDE. IF IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, THIS COULD HAVE DEADLY CONSEQUENCES.
TAKATA RECALL HAVE BEEN TRYING TO HAVE RECALL FIXED FOR OVER 2 YEARS AND DEALER SAYS CAN'T GET PART. I NEED HELP.
RETIRED US ARMY VETERAN,,,,BOUGHT CAR USED IN 2010 WITH APPROX. 25,0000 MILES FROM A DEALER. IT HAS CHROME WHEELS. AT APPROX 50,000 MILES & 2015, THE CHROME ON THE WHEELS STARTED PEELING AND I STARTED GETTING LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNINGS FROM SLOW LEAKING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER< ( ALWAYS DEALER SERVICED) THEY SAID THE RIM IS CORRODING AND THEY HAVE TO REMOVE THE WHEEL AND TIRE, BREAK DOWN THE TIRE OFF THE RIM, GRIND THE CARROTION OFF THE RIM, PUT SEALER ON IT AND REINSTALL AND REBALANCE THE TIRE. ITS NOT WARRANTEED, SO COST ME $35 AND TOOK 1/2 HR. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD THE OTHER 3 WHEELS DO THE SAME. I WAS QUOTED $845 TO REPLACE ALL 4 CHROME WHEELS WITH ALUMMINIUM WHEELS AND BEST TO DO THAT WHEN NEED NEW TIRES. I AM LOOKING FOR A SET OF USED ALUMMINUM WHEELS FOR IT INSTEAD. OR GET $1,000 LESS ON A TRADE IN FOR ANOTHER 2 YR OLD USED LINCOLN MKZ. I HAVE OPTED TO TRADE IT IN AND GET A 2016' MKZ. BUT WITH ALUM. WHEELS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKZ. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, AN ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTED FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS WAS A RECURRING FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AT THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE STRUT MOUNT ON THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,002. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO STATED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES EXHIBITED LOW TIRE PRESSURE DUE TO THE SEVERELY RUSTED RIMS. THE FOUR TIRES WERE INFLATED TO THE PROPER AIR PRESSURE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED EVERY TWO WEEKS. THE RIMS WERE NOT REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.
THE VENT ON MY 2008 LINCOLN MKZ IS POPPING UP AWAY FROM THE DASH AND THE DASH IS BUCKELING. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE CLIPS BECAUSE IT WAS AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE CLIPS WERE WORE OUT.. HOW DO CLIPS WERE OUT ON A DASH. THE CAR IS NOT VERY OLD FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. JUST WANT TO SEE IF THERE ARE OTHER OWNERS OUT THERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM.
SAFETY HAZARD-CHROME WHEELS CORRODING AND FLAKING. FREQUENT LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE PRE-MATURE WEAR OF TIRES. *TR
AIR PRESSURE ISSUES ON 3 OF MY TIRES. THE RIM?S CHROME PLATING IS FLAKING OFF, AND TIRES CONSISTENTLY LOSE AIR PRESSURE. I CONTACTED MY DEALER, BUT NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE. I PURCHASED THIS AUTO NEW AND IT HAS ALWAYS HAS BEEN GARAGED. I DO LIVE IN THE BOSTON AREA SO DO HAVE EXTREME WEATHER. THIS IS A QUALITY ISSUE AND A DRIVING HAZARD. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. *JS
WITHOUT WARNING, THE DRIVER'S DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. I WAS TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY WAY TO EXIT THE CAR WAS TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND USE THE EXTERIOR HANDLE. *TR THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND IS IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING THAT THE DOOR HANDLE WAS WORN OR HAD A DEFECT. I HAVE DISASSEMBLED THE DOOR AND I SEE THAT AN INTERIOR SECTION OF THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE HAS FRACTURED. THIS SECTION ACTS AS A CAM TO PULL THE CABLE THAT OPENS THE DOOR. IT IS A POOR DESIGN BECAUSE THE PLASTIC IS IN PURE TENSION AND ALLOWS A CRACK TO CATASTROPHICALLY PROPAGATE. I BELIVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT TRAPS AN OCCUPANT IN THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. MANY FAILURE MODE EFFECTS ANALYSIS EVENTS ASSUME THE DRIVER CAN EXIT THE CAR TO RECEIVE A LOW SCORE. THIS MAKES SEVERAL OTHER POSSIBLE FAILURE MODES MUCH MORE DANGEROUS.
BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A LINCOLN DEALER SHIP IN NORMAN, OKLAHOMA. LATER MOVED TO TEXAS TO BE CLOSER TO MY DAUGHTER. THE CAR HAD NOT DONE THIS BEFORE, BUT ONE NIGHT WHILE I WAS AT THEIR HOUSE, WALKED OUT AND THE CAR STARTED BY ITS SELF. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE BEEN SHOPPING AND HAVE COME OUT AND MY SUN-ROOF AND ALL OF MY WINDOWS ARE DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. I REGULARLY TAKE IT TO A LINCOLN DEALER HERE IN HOUSTON. I HAVE ASKED THEM SEVERAL TIMES WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, AND THEY SAY THAT IT IS RELATED TO THE PROGRAMMED KEY, AND THEIR IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. I AM 78 YEARS OLD, AND HAVING THIS HAPPEN IN THE HOUSTON AREA IS REALLY A SAFETY FACTOR. HAVE TRIED TO MANIPULATE THE KEY TO TRY AND MAKE THESES THINGS HAPPEN, BUT TO NO AVAIL. A GENTLEMEN THAT RESIDES WHERE I LIVE NOW RECENTLY CAME UP TO MY APARTMENT AND WANTED TO KNOW IF I KNEW THAT MY SUN-ROOF AND WINDOWS WERE DOWN. EVERY DEALERSHIP THAT I HAVE TAKEN IT TOO DOES NOT SEEM TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. ONLY THAT IS RELATED TO THE KEY. I NEED HELP SOLVING THIS PROBLEM. I CAN ONLY GUESS AT THE DATE WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED.
DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET MY VEHICLE HIT A POT HOLE IN THE ROAD. THIS WAS NOT A VERY DEEP HOLE, JUST A NORMAL INCIDENT YOU WOULD SEE WHEN DRIVING. AFTER HITTING THE POT HOLE THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO ALMOST COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO STOP. THE PROBLEM WOULD GRADUALLY CORRECT ITSELF USUALLY AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF DRIVING. *TR
