2006 Lincoln Zephyr Air Bags & Restraints Problems

The airbag sensor light is indicating a sensor needs replacement. I have replaced airbags on both the driver and passenger side due to recall. Diagnostics state it is the sensor, passenger side. I have attempted to have repaired, and after 5 weeks and 4 mechanics, no one can seem to get the new sensor to connect to the system and work properly. I did not have a vehicle for weeks! PLEASE HELP!

TAKATA RECALL

I CAME TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF A GROCERY STOREAND APPLIED THE BRAKE BEFORE TURNING THE CAR OFF. THE NEXT THING I K NEW THE CAR WAS HEADED TOWARD WALL. THE CAR HIT THE WALL B WITH FORCE THAT EMPLOYED MY AIR BAG.AND DAMAGED THE FRONT OF MY CAR. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY INCIDENT I HAVE HAD WITH THE BRAKES . I ALWAYS TRY TO DRIVE A CAR LENGTH FROM THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME FOR FEAR OF THE BRAKES MALFUNCTING....

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE NOW TRIED TO WORK WITH TOWO DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIPS TO GET MY TAKATA AIRBAG REPLACED ON RECALL. I CALL THEM AND TALK TO THEM AND GIVE THEM ALL MY INFORMATION. KORUM FORD OF PUYALLUP SAYS THAT THEY ARE NOT HANDLING THE RECALLS, AND THEN I CONTACTED BOWEN SCARF FORD OF KENT, TALKED TO A REPRESENTATIVE AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD SCHEDULE ME. THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED TO DATE AND I HAVE CALLED AND LEFT MESSAGES MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING THAT I CANNOT NOT GET THIS SAFETY ISSUE TAKEN CARE OF.

SINCE 2 YEARS AGO FORD RECALLED THESE AIRBAGS AND DO NOTHING! I WENT TO 2 DEALERS LINCOLN IN MY AREA BECAUSE I RECEIVED LETTER FROM FORD STATING THAT THEY WILL PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR UP TO 45$/DAY UNTIL THIS RECALLED CAR IS DONE AND NONE OF DEALERS WANTED TO PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR-BOTH SAID THAT IS NOT WORTHED AND I WILL LOSE MONEY IF I RENT. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS AND ALL OF THEM TURNED ME AWAY.FORD SEND A LETTER STATING THAT THEY WILL COVER UP TO 45$ / A DAY FOR A RENTAL.RIVERHEAD NY DEALER SAID I HAVE TO RENT THROUGH THEM W HERTZ A FORD VEHICLE TO QUALIFY FOR THIS RENTAL OR ANOTHER CAR UP TO 30$/DAY MAX BECAUSE FORD WILL NOT PAY!!! I FOUND THIS WEIRD AND WENT TO SECOND LINCOLN DEALER BRIGH BAY LINCOLN IN BAY SHORE NY. HERE STORY WAS A LITTLE CHANGED: "YOU CAN RENT THROUGH US W HERTZ ANY CAR UP TO 45$/DAY BUT YOU HAVE TO PAY IN ADVANCE A MONTH FOR THE RENTAL AND AFTER TO SUBMIT TO FORD YOUR RENTAL EXPENSE AND THEY WILL DECIDE IF THEY PAY OR NOT!!!!??? ALSO YOU HAVE TO TAKE THIS CAR WITH RECALL TO YOUR PLACE AND SIGN AN AFFIDAVIT THAT YOU WILL NOT USE THE CAR UNTIL IS FIXED!!! I ASK WHY THEY DON'T KEEP THE RECALLED CAR TO THEM AND SAID : NO ROOM! THESE GUYS AT FORD LINCOLN I THINK THEY DO ALL THEY CAN NOT TO GIVE OUT ANOTHER CAR AND PREFER THAT WE RISK OUR LIVES! MAYBE I SHOULD SUE THEM!
