2009 LINCOLN MKZ Air Bags Problems

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 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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V001000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT DID NOT WANT TO WAIT TWO WEEKS TO SCHEDULE A RECALL REPAIR APPOINTMENT. WEST HERR FORD OF AMHERST (2600 MILLERSPORT HWY, GETZVILLE, NY 14068, (716) 810-1319) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY.

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.

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN FEBRUARY 2018 AND CANNOT GET IT CORRECTED. THE LINCOLN/FORD AGENCY IN SOUTHAMPTON, NY SAYS THE PARTS ARE ON ORDER. THIS HAS BEEN SINCE FEBRUARY!! SO EVERY 2 OR 3 WEEKS I AM SUPPOSED TO CALL AND SEE IF THEY ARE IN YET. SO FAR---NOTHING.

THAT SHE "FEELS ITS SAFE", HOWEVER, HER "FEELING" ITS SAFE FOR MY FAMILY TO RIDE IN THIS CAR WITH THIS AIRBAG UNDER RECALL IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF MYSELF AND MY LOVED ONES. SHE DID NOT "GUARANTEE" IT WAS SAFE.

AND, I AM GROWING WEARY AND AGITATED WITH THE EXCESSIVELY LONG WAIT FOR A REPLACEMENT AIRBAG. WHAT ACTION IS BEING DONE TO EXPEDITE THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS IN AFFECTED VEHICLES? HOW MUCH LONGER MUST ONE WAIT FOR THIS TO BE RESOLVED? PLEASE LET ME KNOW SOMETHING REGARDING A TIMELINE FOR RESOLUTION/REPLACEMENT. I WANT THIS AIRBAG REPLACED ASAP. THANKS

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.

"TAKATA RECALL" RECEIVED RECALL FOR PASSENGER AIRBAG IN MARCH,2017. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE NOW AND THEY CANNOT GIVE A TIME WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE. TAKATA HAS NOW FILED BANKRUPTCY. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I DID NOT BUY THE CAR FROM TAKATA, I BOUGHT IT FROM A LINCOLN DEALERSHIP. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY LINCOLN CAN'T GET ANOTHER AIRBAG FOR REPLACEMENT. IT IS NOW OCTOBER 20,2017. THEY HAVE HAD ENOUGH TIME FOR THIS RECALL. I AM FEARFUL OF A PASSENGER RIDING IN THE CAR IF THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG SHOULD ERUPT AND KILL OR INJURE SOMEONE. I CAN'T SELL THE CAR. WHO'S GOING TO BUY A CAR WITH A RECALL FOR A TAKATA AIRBAG?

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE LETTER FROM LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY DATED JULY, 2016. THE LETTER STATED MY VEHICLE WAS IDENTIFIED IN THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL AND THAT WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE I WILL BE NOTIFIED BY LETTER. IT HAS BEEN OVER 7 MONTHS AND STILL NO LETTER NOTIFYING OF PARTS AVAILABILITY OR FOR ME TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR. HOW MUCH LONGER BEFORE THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE?? IT IS STRESSFUL WAITING FOR THIS REPAIR, ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE LOVED ONES RIDING WITH ME THAT CAN BE INJURED OR WORSE DUE TO FAULTY AIR-BAGS. A 7 MONTH WAIT IS A BIT RIDICULOUS. ALSO, I'VE INQUIRED WITH MY LOCAL LINCOLN DEALER AND HAVE BEEN INFORMED THE REPAIR WILL TAKE 4 HOURS. LINCOLN OR TAKATA SHOULD PROVIDE ME WITH A RENTAL WHILE MY VEHICLE IS BEING REPAIRED. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT AT THE DEALER 4 HOURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS REPAIRED DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN. THANKS FOR READING. I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR RESPONSE/UPDATE ON THIS RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL. IN THE MONTH OF JULY 2016 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY, DATED JULY 2016 STATING "WHEN PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE FOR SAFETY RECALL 16S26, THE LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY WILL NOTIFY YOU VIA MAIL TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WITH YOUR DEALER TO HAVE THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED." 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.

GREETING....ON TWO PREVIOUS OCCASIONS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE DUE TO THE WARNING INDICATOR/LIGHT RELATIVE TO DRIVER'S SEAT BELT/AIR BAG. ON BOTH OCCASIONS THE MATTER WAS CORRECTED. HOWEVER TODAY 12 OCT. 2014 THE VEHICLE BEGAN EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME THE TECH REPORTED THAT PERSONS RIDING BEHIND THE DRIVER DID/MAYBE CAUSED THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE WIRING HARNESS IS EXPOSED. THE SECOND INCIDENT IN WHICH THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN I WAS INFORMED THE PROBLEM SHOULD NOT OCCUR IN THE FUTURE.THAT LAST REPAIR WAS SOME 10-15 MONTHS AGO. HOWEVER TODAY WHEN THE PROBLEM LIGHT CAME ON THERE WERE NO ONE SEATED BEHIND THE DRIVER. IT APPEARS THERE IS/WAS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN CAUSING A POTENTIAL DANGER TO OCCUPANTS OF THIS VEHICLE. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT FAIRWAY LINCOLN SAVANNAH GA. ALSO PLEASE NOTE THE DATES AND MILEAGES ARE APPROXIMATELY. *TR
