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 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?
