Car was taken off road and given rental car due to airbag recall. After talking with king colonial Ford and Lincoln company they only replace one airbag and are putting it back on road refusing to cover rental any longer. Very concerned about danger of driving with still having a defective air bag on drivers side. Why is it safe to have same bag that was just removed from passenger side still on driver side ?

Air bag recall.the front passenger takata airbag's inflators contain an explosive chemical that can cause the airbags to rupture, especially in warm, humid climates. Repair pending availability of part. Taking an incredible amount of time for replacement.

Takata recall..... I own a 2007 Lincoln Mkz. I have been waiting since July 2016 for a replacement of the takata airbag. I got a second notice a year later 2017 telling me I need the airbag to be replaced but sorry Lincoln does not have it again. So now im going to 3 years that I have been unable to use my car. I have 3 grandchildren that I have full custody of. I cannot use my car because of the severity of possible death or disfigurement due to the faulty takata airbag. I was told not to use the car in which I have not...I bought this car in May 2015. From a Florida Ford dealer, I feel the car was misrepresented to me, as the takata dangers were not disclosed to me, and I feel the car should never have been sold without first having the airbag replaced. I think that two and a half years is quite excessive to replace an airbag that carries so much danger and liability on the manufacturer and the dealer side. I intend to retain counsel to help resolve the situation. Thank you

Takata recall. Over 2 years ago Ford Motor Co issued a recall for my vehicle for the passenger side air bags. Ford is doing nothing for me and is ignoring my requests for help. They actually sent me a letter that instructed me to not use the front passenger seat in my car. How ridiculous is that?
