O.C. Welch Ford-Lincoln of Hardeeville, SC 29927 has not completed the safety recall on the airbags for the 2010 Ford Lincoln MKX. After trying to get them to repair the airbags for over a year, they finally fixed the passenger side airbag. They originally stated they had the parts to fix driver's side, but told us they were on back-order. They said they would get in touch with us once the parts came in. It has been over 5 months and we have not heard anything from them in regards to fixing the driver's side airbag.

Takata inflators: We haven't had a problem yet but the last few years the front driver's and passenger's airbags have rattling noises when on bumpy roads. Hearing the rattling noises makes me believe there are parts loose in both which could put the driver and passenger in danger. I have been patiently waiting for a recall. If I choose to have them replaced on my own, will I be reimbursed? it is very scary hearing what happens to these airbags and I think hearing the rattling makes our car one of the ones a danger and should be on recall please. I did report it to Ford dealer but they did not record my concern, we were all thinking we'd be on recall list. Please, please consider my vehicle for recall.

Takata recall - this vehicle has been parked in our garage for 8 months. This vehicle has 73,000 miles & is in excellent condition. I have my doubts that this vehicle will ever be repaired to drive again. I have received 2 letters from Lincoln advising of the problem; however, no notice of if & when this vehicle will be repaired. I believe this delay belongs to Lincoln & this vehicle should be replaced with a 2018 vehicle that is drivable.

Takata recall was in June of 2016 and all I have from the Lincoln motor company saying parts may become available in the spring of 2018, with no indication when my car will be fixed. They say do not use the front passenger seat which makes the car virtually useless for a family of 5. is this acceptable?

This is in regards to the takata recall. I received my first letter from the Lincoln motor company regarding the recall July 2016. The issue has yet yo be taken care of and almost two years has passed. This is something I believe to be extremely important especially for the passenger in my car, which most of the time is family. Every since I've received this letter I try not to have anyone sit in the passenger seat for their safety, but has definitely become inconvenient.
