While driving, sometimes the horn completely stops working, at the same time the horn stops working I can remove my seatbelt or have a passenger not wearing a seat belt and the seat belt indicator and chime does not come on, I have buckled and unbuckled the seatbelt to try to get the indicator to come on and nothing happens. I am worried that the seat sensors or seat belt latch are defective also the horn issue may be another underlying problem.

Takata recall, the airbag light on the passenger side suddenly illuminated without anything triggering it while I was driving to work. It shows that the passenger airbag is off due to having some kind of weight on the seat. But there is nothing on the seat at all when the light illuminated. It is still on and stayed on. I read about the recall for the takata airbags and I read the the airbag can explode during a crash and that defeats the purpose of having an airbag. It's supposed to save lives and not take them away. I would like to get this fixed and resolved before winter comes in full effect and to avoid additional problems if an accident do occur.

My airbag light stays on constantly passenger side. This may cause injury if in accident ive replaces several tires and recently have new ones and tire pressure goes completely flat on 2 back tires and constantly putting air in front tires. . I returned it to service station that installed tires and he said the rims are so corroded that's why I'm losing air in tires. These need replaced and are costly. I feel I may have a blowout while driving if I don't check these daily.

Lincoln Mkz 2007 airbag modular and sensors gone bad and airbag light is on. Car was checked for the problem and I was told that it would cost over $1500 to repair this problem. This car parts have continuously fail on this particular car panels on both front door have cracked, drives side has been replaced once by dealer. Was told that if I replace door panel I would have to buy the door rather than just a panel, have replaced all four reels on the car, tires constantly have to be checked for low air pressure in tires, dashboard has popped loose at vent in top of dashboard and was told by dealer it would cost over $2000 to repair. This car is suppose to be one of Lincoln's best vehicles and the parts on this car are not top quality. Car is not old enough to have had so many problem. Car was poorly built and it is a shame that Lincoln will not step up to the plate and acknowledge all of these problems with this car. I am a very unsatisfied customer and at this point would not consider buying another vehicle in the Lincoln family. What a shame that you pay so much for a vehicle and get this kind of quality. Shame, shame, shame.
My front passenger air bag light comes on saying it isn't functioning - has happened since I bought the car in 2014, but I never noticed until warranty was over (only happens if someone sits in seat, which is not often). I do not see any recall -and wonder if thisis something I have to have fixed at my own cost as dealer said "too bad". No problems as of yet, but worried a passenger can be hurt badly.

Greeting. . . . On two previous occasions when the vehicle was under warranty it was taken in for service due to the warning indicator/light relative to driver's seat belt/air bag. On both occasions the matter was corrected. However today 12 oct. 2014 the vehicle began experiencing the same problem. The first time the tech reported that persons riding behind the driver did/maybe caused the problem because the wiring harness is exposed. The second incident in which the vehicle was taken in I was informed the problem should not occur in the future. That last repair was some 10-15 months ago. However today when the problem light came on there were no one seated behind the driver. It appears there is/was a flaw in the design causing a potential danger to occupants of this vehicle. Each time the vehicle was serviced at fairway Lincoln savannah GA. Also please note the dates and mileages are approximately.
