Takata recall it has been over 2 years since we were notified we had an air bag recall. I also contacted them after two years and was told they had not gotten that far yet. I strongly object to having two wait over two years for something this important to our safety. If were hurt or one of us killed in an accident that air bags could have kept us safe we have left word to sue the living heck out of them. What are you doing to move them along.

I purchased a Lincoln Mkz in 2015 and in 2016, I received a letter from Ford about a recall on my Lincoln passenger side frontal airbags. 2 years later and monthly phone calls about repair and I constantly get the run around that the parts are not in yet. Solution is to not put passenger up front, which is not a viable solution. I either want my car repaired or a replacement. I did not buy a 5 person premium car to only be told it is now a 4 seater. This is extremely unacceptable and I would like help with what I am legally able to do.

Takata recall- have been promised a replacement for years. I cannot let anyone sit in the front passenger seat. The amount they offered me for a trade in was half what I could have received from two buyers. However, when I told them about the airbag, the deal fell through.
