Hi I'm making this complaint on behalf of my mom she just purchased her car that doesn't have an airbag without signing a disclosure form and the transmission is totally running down and not being informed of this she went ahead and bought the car unaware of any of this.
The contact owns a 2000 Lincoln Ls. The contact stated while driving 35 mph, the air bag warning lamp illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the technician diagnosed that the clock spring was defective and needed to be repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 135,600 and the current mileage was 136,000.
Without any warning or cause air bag under the passenger seat inadvertently deployed while driving 60-70 mph. No injuries were reported. The dealer / manufacturer were not notified.
Smell of something burning - going to the dealership today. Headlight covers collect moisture. Airback light on - was quoted approximately $500 to fix. Driver side door does not open from inside - $85 to determine that the latch is worn off & again an estimate for $850 to fix the handle. Three out of the four power windows dropped down & had to be fixed in the last two years. Both the driver and the passenger seatbacks have fallen off. Driver seat makes noise when going/sliding back. On two seperate occasions I was unable to apply the brake when coming to a stop - car kept on rolling & I could not press the brake. Loud noise when accelerating between 45-55mph which I was told is "normal".
While driving 50 mph driver's rear seat air bag deployed inadvertently for no known reason. No damage was reported. Vehicle was driven to the dealer.
Air bag monitor was replaced;not working;reports of other Ls's w/ problem.
