I NEVER RECEIVED A CALL. *TR

THE TAKATA RECALL IS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING AND UNFORTUNATELY LINCOLN OFFERS NO SOLUTION TO THE CUSTOMER AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY THE COMPANY . I HAVE RECEIVED LETTER AFTER LETTER WARNING ME THAT CORROSION OF THE FUEL TANK IS DEFECTIVE AND DIRECTIONS TO TAKE THE TO A LINCOLN DEALER. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER OVER 3 TIMES AND EVERYTIME ITS A DIFFERENT EXCUSE AS TO WHY NOTHING CAN BE DONE. I SMELL GAS FUMES ALL THE TIME AND HAVE SEEN VISIBLE RUST ON THE FUEL TANK. I RECEIVED LETTERS SAYING I WOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE A TEMPORARY RENTAL AND AS USUAL EVERY RENTAL IS ALREADY OUT WITHIN 100 MILES OF ME. I CALLED LINCOLN AND ASKED IF THERE ARE ANY NEAR NEW YORK A METROPOLITAN AREA AND NONE WHAT SO EVER CAN BE FOUND. SO IN ENDING I HAVE A ROLLING DEATH TRAP THAT CAN POTENTIALLY IGNITE IN FLAMES OR SERIOUSLY INJURE IF NOT KILL ANYONE WHO SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE HELP HOWEVER POSSIBLE AS THIS IS A COMPLETE LACK OF ATTENTION FROM THE COMPANY.

OUR CAR WAS IDENTIFIED AS FORD/LINCOLN SAFETY RECALL 14S22 INVOLVING CORROSION OF THE FUEL TANK. SOUTH HILLS LINCOLN MADE A POOR DECISION TO TREAT TANK WITH ANTI-CORROSIVE IN LATE SEPTEMBER 2016 VERSUS REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. OUR FUEL TANK COMMENCED LEAKING ON 8/23 AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AS DEALER WAS PAID BY FORD IN 2016 FORD HAS INDICATED THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO PAY DEALER 2X FOR SAME RECALL. WORK DONE IS BEYOND 12 MONTH WARRANTY FOR RECALL REPAIR. I HAVE HAD TO RENT A CAR BECAUSE MY MKX IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE LEAKING FUEL. TANK IS $2,770 PLUS LABOR. AS RECALL HAS NO EXPIRATION DATE, FORD/SOUTH HILLS LINCOLN NEED TO FIX SAFETY PROBLEM. HELP!

2/3/2015 I TOOK MY 2007 LINCOLN MKX IN FOR GAS TANK RECALL. ON NOVEMBER 25,2015 I PICKED MY CAR UP FROM THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED A NEW TANK WAS INSTALLED. NOVEMBER 27TH I FILLED MY TANK WITH GAS AND WENT APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES BEFORE MY CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE PROCEEDING TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT. I TURNED THE IGNITION AND STARTED THE CAR AND DROVE 1 MILE FURTHER TO MY DESTINATION AT A MALL. MY FAMILY EXITED THE CAR AND NOTICED A PERFUSE GAS SMELL COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE TOWARDS THE REAR. MY HUSBAND LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND NOTICED GAS LEAKING. EITHER THE RECALLED TANK WAS NOT REPLACED BY THE DEALER OR THE NEW TANK IS ALREADY LEAKING. THE LEAK IS COMING FROM THE SEAM OF THE FUEL TANK. WHILE THIS IS THE SHORT STORY IT DOES NOT MENTION THE ALL THE DAMAGE OCCURRED TO MY CAR BY SITTING FOR 10 MONTHS AND BEING EXPOSED TO THE HARSH ELEMENTS OF THE SUN, RAIN, SNOW AND THE FACT SOMEONE RAN INTO IT WHILE IN THE DEALERS PROCESSION. MY HEADLIGHTS ARE FADED, PAINT FADED, BRAKES SQUEAL, DEAD BATTERY AND FLAT TIRES. LET'S NOT FORGET IT STILL LEAKS GAS.

HAVE BEEN SMELLING FUEL FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS OUTSIDE THE CAR. FOUND WHAT APPEARS TO BE A FUEL LEAK COMING FROM FUEL TANK. CALLED LINCOLN ABOUT THE RECALL, THEY SAID IT DIDN'T AFFECT MY VEHICLE. I THINK IT DID, SEEING HOW IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM, AND IT'S A SALT/CORROSION ISSUE. I'VE LIVED IN NEBRASKA ALMOST ALL MY LIFE, WE USE SALT IN THE WINTER SEASON. REGARDLESS WHERE IT IS BUILT, I'M SURE THEY ARE GETTING THEIR PARTS FROM THE SAME SUPPLIER. LINCOLN IS IN THE WRONG, THEY SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF THE ISSUE. THIS IS A $2,000 REPAIR THAT NOT EVERYONE CAN AFFORD TO PAY FOR. THIS IS BS, AND THE LAST TIME I WILL BUY A LINCOLN/FORD PRODUCT, IF THIS IS HOW THEY TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.

I AM ORIGINAL OWNER OF 2007 MKX. RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE IN DEC.2014. UNABLE TO GET VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP UNTIL 02/03/15. I HAVE NOT HAD MY VEHICLE SINCE THAT DATE. CORROSION AT FUEL TANK AND LEAKING. DLR INFORMED ME THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN. HE HAD NO IDEA WHEN THE PART(S) WOULD BE AVAILABLE. IT WOULD BE MONTHS. I WAS PROVIDED INITIALLY WITH VEHICLE FROM DEALERSHIP. AFTER WEEK OR SO I WAS HANDED OVER TO RENTAL AGENCY AT FORD'S EXPENSE. I AM NOW IN MY 3RD VEHICLE AS OF JUNE. HAVE CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE EARLY FEB. WHO APOLOGIZES PROFUSELY AND SAY THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN TANKS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THEY ARE AT MERCY OF THEIR SUPPLIER. NO DATES MAYBE LATE SUMMER. RECALL NOTICE INDICATES 3RD QTR. DEALERSHIP AS OF 7/7/15 SAYING FOURTH QTR. NO EXACT DATE OR TIME. I PURCHASED THAT VEHICLE FOR INTENDED USE WITH BUSINESS AND FAMILY. FAMILY MEMBERS UNDER 25 AND FREQUENT OUT OF TOWN FAMILY GUESTS CANNOT DRIVE THE RENTAL AND UNTIL EARLY JUNE PREVIOUS VEHICLES I HAD DID NOT MEET MY BUSINESS NEEDS. THIS HAS BEEN AN UNREASONABLE AND UNACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. I AM VERY CONCERNED HOW MY VEHICLE WILL OPERATE AFTER HAVING BEEN IDLE FOR MANY MONTHS, NEARLY A YEAR. FORD MOTOR SHOULD PURCHASE THESE VEHICLES AT FMV WITH ADDITIONAL AMOUNT COVERING THE RENTAL PAYOUTS AND THE INCONVENIENCE THROUGH THEIR UNKNOWN REPAIR DATE. THEY MIGHT STILL HAVE SATISFIED CUSTOMERS. ONLY OFFER THEY HAVE COME UP WITH IN EARLY APRIL HAS BEEN DEALER VALUE + $2500.00 TOWARDS ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT. NOT ACCEPTABLE.

BROUGHT OUR 2007 LINCOLN MKX INTO THE DEALERSHIP IN EARLY 2014 COMPLAINING OF A GAS SMELL. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE GAS CAP WAS PROBABLY NOT BEING CLOSED FULLY. BROUGHT IT BACK IN JANUARY 2015 AFTER WE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD TO KEEP THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE ODOR. WE JUST FOUND OUT THAT IT MAY NOT BE UNTIL THE SUMMER OR FALL OF 2015 THAT IT CAN BE FIXED. WE GOT AN AWFUL RENTAL CAR, WHICH WHILE PAID FOR BY FORD, IS FAR FROM THE CAR WE BOUGHT. I'M INCREDULOUS THAT FORD A) CAN'T SIMPLY REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AND BRACKETS, B) HAS ALREADY TAKEN TWO MONTHS AND MAY TAKE SIX MORE, AND C) WON'T PROVIDE A COMPARABLE LOANER VEHICLE. DOESN'T FORD HAVE AN OBLIGATION, LEGALLY AND MORALLY, TO FIX THE PROBLEM EXPEDITIOUSLY? *TR
