| Description of the problem | Takata recall: fortunately, my auto has not yet been in a situation that would cause the front airbags to deploy, however, lack of action on this airbag recall is causing me economic hardship. I desire to obtain a new vehicle, but am unable to trade in the 2010 lincoln as the dealer said they cannot sell a vehicle under an active recall, and no parts are available to rectify the situation. I've requested an update from the ford dealer in hutchinson, mn multiple times, and have very rudely been told there are no replacement parts and to stop asking. So, i can't safely drive my car, sell my car, or repair it! The trade in value has dramatically decreased in the year i've been trying to get rid of the vehicle. This takes corporate irresponsibility to a whole new level. What is taking so long, and why is ford and its dealerships being allowed to be so rude and irresponsible? |
