| Description of the problem | 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! |
