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.

I am satisfied with the help that the customer service assisted me with and that was getting my service moved up to September 26th from the original date of October 30th. But I am not satisfied with the remedy. I have received several written letters from Lincoln that go into detail of the recall on my car and as well they say and in BIG RED LETTERS ..DO NOT DRIVE YOUR CAR UNTIL REPAIRS ARE DONE. WELL, I should say that you see my 2010 Lincoln Mkx is my and only vehicle I own I can not just park it up and forget I have a life and a job because of no fault of my own that my one and only car urgently is needing repair to the factory installed air bags. Therefore I ask Lincoln to assist me with a rental until my car had been repaired. I do not feel safe DRIVING MY CAR.Letter's I have on hand from Lincoln plainly stating DO NOT DRIVE. …

Takata recall, NHTSA recall no. 16V384, Lincoln recall no. 16s26 11-23-16, I turned steering wheel to begin to park in shopping mall garage. Driver airbag immediately deployed prior to impact which caused me to hit the concrete wall ahead. There were no other passengers in the vehicle. Recall notice received July 2016 on passenger airbag. Obviously, there is a problem with the driver airbag also. We contacted Lincoln dealer when we received the notice & also contacted athem an additional 2 ' 3 times to check on status of recall repair with no results. Was told parts had not been received yet & that we would be notified when to schedule an appointment for the recall repair.

My car was t-boned and pushed into oncoming traffic. I was knocked unconscious by air bag deployment and it caused brain injury, damage to my breast.

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.
