| Description of the problem | Takata recall..... I own a 2007 lincoln mkz. I have been waiting since july 2016 for a replacement of the takata airbag. I got a second notice a year later 2017 telling me i need the airbag to be replaced but sorry lincoln does not have it again. So now im going to 3 years that i have been unable to use my car. I have 3 grandchildren that i have full custody of. I cannot use my car because of the severity of possible death or disfigurement due to the faulty takata airbag. I was told not to use the car in which i have not... I bought this car in may 2015. From a florida ford dealer, i feel the car was misrepresented to me, as the takata dangers were not disclosed to me, and i feel the car should never have been sold without first having the airbag replaced. I think that two and a half years is quite excessive to replace an airbag that carries so much danger and liability on the manufacturer and the dealer side. I intend to retain counsel to help resolve the situation. Thank you |
