5 Air Bag problem of the 2001 Lincoln LS

Failure Date: 07/02/2015

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.

14 Air Bag problem of the 2002 Lincoln LS

Failure Date: 05/15/2009

My 2002 Lincoln Ls v8 has broken down in numerous ways. All ignition coils have had to be replaced, two window motors, airbag connector clip, my tie rod ends are bad, my car has actually shut off completely while driving up the 15 north three times while my son was in the car with me and now my transmission has completely stopped working. When it came to fixing the airbag connector problem Lincoln told me it was fixed and I went to pick up my car and it was still doing the same thing the three beeps so they fixed it for free and then told me my instrument panel on one side was burned out but the lights seems to work on it when I turn them on. They wanted to charge me 800 dollars for that but I refused. The ignition coil replacement was roughly 1000 dollars and I am waiting on my estimate for my transmission. Both window motors were 200 dollars a piece. I have had numerous taillights replaced and actually had a door lock jam closed on me. I truly feel that this car is a safety hazard for me and my son if it turns completely off at 65 miles an hour on a freeway with my son in the car.

15 Air Bag problem of the 2001 Lincoln LS

Failure Date: 03/29/2008

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.

16 Air Bag problem of the 2001 Lincoln LS

Failure Date: 11/27/2006

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.

19 Air Bag problem of the 2001 Lincoln LS

Failure Date: 08/20/2005

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.

20 Air Bag problem of the 2002 Lincoln LS

Failure Date: 04/30/2005

My car has numerous parts that tear up repeatedly, within a 6 months time. Valve cover gasket had replaced twice within a 6 months time. The coil packs go up very often. I had panel buttons just tear up for no reason three times! wheel caps replaced numerous times. Overheating issues, door locking issues, battery replaced twice within 2 years time. Ac issues, (I never used my ac. . At all) . This car has a lot of problems on the t. S. Bulletin. I contacted Ford in reference to the multiple issues I was having with the car, the company representatives told me to take the complaint to the establishment of which I had been dealing with. Then they said Lincoln is an independent owned establishment so I am totally confused by this whole ordeal, they know that they have had a lot of multiple problems out of that car. And they refuse to recall some of those (as I would say) hazardous issues. I was at the dealer 2 weeks ago, I was conversing with a rep. At the dealership and he was telling me how the Lincoln Ls was their most problem vehicle, and cash maker for repairs. (OH by the way. . . . . . . I researched to find this site. To answer the question in the consumer section).
