general problems of the 2001 Lincoln LS

Air bag clockspring defective. Vehicle needs clockspring replacement as airbags currently will not inflate in the event of an accident.

On two occasions my car suspension had failed. I am just lucky I was not on the highway or I could have been fatally wounded. I can not believe I never received any notices about the suspension recall. The first instance I was driving in my driveway and the car completely dropped down on the tires and could not move the vehicle. The second instance I was driving and the suspension fell on a regular road not a fast highway. It had cost me $250. 00 to have it towed both times because it could not be moved by driving. In addition the second failure cost me $175. 00 because the front tires were ruined. For the repair work on both instances cost me $125. 00 each time totaling another $250. 00 . So because of someone's failure to tighten nuts it cost me $675. 00 , and not to mention the risk of losing my life. Terrifying to say the least.

There is a preventitive air bag recall for my vehical.

Was driving down the highway at 70mph and the passenger side seat air bag deployed for no reason.

This 2001 Lincoln Ls sports package has substantial defects that impairs its safety , the safety of its drivers, the safety of its occupants, the safety of other drivers on highways and roads , and the safety of pedestrians. The rocker panels , inner and outer are completely rusted out. Any impact this vehicle incurred will likely to cause death or serious bodily injury if the vehicle is driven and or operated on highways and roads.

I was driving on the freeway when I heard a loud sound like a gunshot and white somke everywhere. I turn to the right where my cousin was sitting and think its one of my tires that blew out. So I pull over to find out that my passanger seat airbag deployed for no reason. My cousin was very hurt his shoulder was swollen and is in pain due to the airbag. I almost crashed as well.

All front airbags and all seatbelts have automatically disengaged and do not work. I have taken the car to three dealerships and was told it would cost me approximately $1,000 for "exploratory" searches to see if it is the module to the airbag. I contacted Ford as I felt this should be a safety failure in the car and not a consumer related incident. I was told that Ford was not responsible for airbag failure issues and that Ford would not cover the charges or pay to have the airbags fixed. The airbags are inoperable.

Airbag clock spring went bad on the 2001 Lincoln Ls this clock spring controls the srs system. I do not think it should be the car owners problem to pay for this part if it goes bad and should be a recall on this part.

Srs clockspring on Lincoln Ls 2001 bad clockspring witch controls the airbag system gone bad. .

I was traveling in my 2001 Lincoln Ls when I was struck by another vehicle resulting in my vehicle rolling laterally and also end over end. My car sustained a frontal impact severe enough to result in the structural steel bumper being split in two and the transmission oil cooler, radiator and air-conditioning condenser and associated radiator wall being smashed against the front of the engine. The vehicle is completely destroyed suffering significant damage to all sides of the car excluding the trunk lid, but including the severance of several parts including the right front wheel. The roof of the vehicle has been altered stemming from landing on it, affecting the a and b pillars of the vehicle and buckling the roof itself. I have photos of the vehicle and the physical address of the remains of the car should someone choose to see it.

Vehicle had electrical problems, gearshift panel lights went out/ back up light were not working. Consumer was involved in an accident, while driving the vehicle drifted across the center lane and sideswiped 2 vehicles, there were no injuries, however there was property damage, consumer feels this is related to recall 00v359001, prior to the accident, consumer had alignment issues with vehicle and had the lower ball joint replaced. Clock spring was replaced and dealer had to reposition a dropped air bag.

While driving about 5 mph vehicle swerved across center lane, and side swiped oncoming truck. Damage was $ 7200. After vehicle was repaired steering wheel was off center, about 45 degrees. Dealer then aligned front end. 2 weeks later, wheel went off center oi other direction by 45 degrees. Dealer then found one lower ball joint missing. And said there was a recall on that component. Consumer did not get recall letter , daler checked VIN, and this vehicle was not affected. After repair was done, repair bill stated lower ball joint was loose, not missing. Then wheel was making a clicking sound when turning. Dealer then replaced clock spring assembly and reset airbag. Consumer felt incident was caused by missing ball joint.
