2009 Lincoln MKZ Complaint Log

Indicator light came on for passenger side airbag says it has recall and it looks as though the airbag is trying to come out of its compartment

2 years ago air bags were replaced on a recall notice. Last week dash board is showing a warning notice with the air bag(s) again. Is there another recall for the air bags? Do I have to pay for replacement?

The contact owns a 2009 Lincoln MKZ. The contact stated that while parked in a semi-truck parking lot, another driver was reversing where she was blocking, and the contact then attempted to avoid the collision and drive forward. The accelerator pedal was depressed however, the vehicle accelerated excessively, and the brake pedal was then depressed but failed to respond. Upon a second attempt, the brake pedal went to the floorboard, accompanied by an abnormal vibration. Consequently, the vehicle crashed into a tree. No warning lights were illuminated prior to the incident. The driver mentioned a previous incident where the vehicle reversed into a gate. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The brakes had been checked previously and were reportedly functioning properly. During the crash, the air bags deployed, and the driver sustained a head injury but did not seek medical attention. No fire or police report was filed as the incident occurred on private property. The local dealer was contacted and mentioned an extended warranty. The dealer suggested towing the vehicle, but it was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted multiple times, including their legal department, but no response was received. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

My MKZ suddenly cut off without warning lamps or messages at highway speed. There was a very quick shudder and all power lost. After pulling onto the road shoulder and waiting a few minutes, it restarted and drove normally. I stopped about 15 minutes later and switched it off. When returning to the vehicle, it would not start. I had it towed to a garage where it has been for 6 weeks. They have been unable to identify the problem and get it restarted. Online reports by others indicate this occurred with other Lincoln products over a span of a few years with no assistance from Lincoln/Ford to identify the problem. This is a HUGE safety issue, as well an immediate personal inconvenience.

The contact owns a 2009 Lincoln MKZ. The contact received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 19V904000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) and 21V158000 (Air Bags) however, the parts to do the recall repair were not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

BRAKE PEDAL FAILURE 7 MONTHS AFTER BRAKE FLUID RECALL WAS DONE.

The contact owns a 2009 Lincoln MKZ. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer for the recall repair and the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) was tested but failed. The dealer informed the contact that the HCU part for the recall repair was not available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and informed the contact that they had difficulties obtaining the part for the recall repair. The failure mileage was 22,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

MY LAST CALL TO THEIR SERVICE CENTER I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO MAKE THE REPAIRS BUT ALSO SAID THEY COULD REPLACE THE BRAKES AND CHARGE ME OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS AND FORD WOULD REIMBURSE ME EVENTUALLY.

Complaint Lincoln 2009 MKZ air vent grid on dash board broke in various places and collapse also, it appears the dash board in front of air vent grid is raised. Causing the defroster to not work properly and the window shield does not clear properly. I was told to fix the problem the whole dash board needs to be replaced. I see this as a design and manufacturer defect and that Lincoln should repair at no cost to Lincoln owners. Lincoln is a Luxury line this should not be happening.

Leaking brakes had to be fixed twice before recalled parts were available. When the last repair was done, dealership said they would reimburse us (since we paid full price) recalled parts labor that we had to pay for since they were on the recall. This has never happened even though we have tried multiple times to remedy. Dealership says they sent in paperwork to Ford twice for the reimbursement as they don't do that. Ford Motor Company says they dont do it that it is up to the dealer. In summary, recalled brakes were finally repaired but we had to pay full price for them though it says parts and labor would be free.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE OWNING THIS CAR, THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS GONE ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AFTER ACTIVATION OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. THE BRAKING DISTANCE INCREASES DRAMATICALLY WHILE THE PEDAL REMAINS VERY SOFT. IT EVENTUALLY (A FEW HOURS MAYBE) RETURNS TO NORMAL FUNCTION. WHILE DRIVING IN THIS CONDITION, IT FEELS AS IF THE CAR WILL NOT STOP BUT IT EVENTUALLY DOES, BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL MUST BE PUSHED ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR.

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.

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> 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.

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.

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. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
