The middle rear seat belt became stuck around my child and could not be removed. It progressively became tighter and tighter as we tried to unbuckle it. Ultimately the seatbelt needed to be cut off.

The rear seatbelt buckle isn't functioning correctly and is causing a seatbelt light. We are now told we have to spend close to $1,000 to get the buckle replaced or there's a chance my airbags will malfunction across the entire car should I get in an accident.

The middle rear seat belt locks up when you fold the seat down and the only way to lift the seat is to remove the seat belt from the car and allow it to fully retract. But as soon as the seat get laid down again you have to repeat the process. There are multiple videos on youtube of multiple Ford vehicles having the same problem. Secondly periodically all the lights on the dash come on and it says all the advanced driver assistant systems aren’t working and the electronic assist powersteering stops working. It lasts anywhere from a couple minutes or until the car is turned off for a long time. There are also multiple videos on youtube showing the same problem on multiple lonicoln Mkz’s.

Aug 2, my husband & I were approaching a 4-way light near our neighborhood. We were slowing down to turn right at the intersection. As we began the turn, the tires locked & our car slide left across lanes that resulted in a crash. Both airbags deployed. I was thrown into the windshield, despite my seat-belt, busting it. Then, my airbag deployed. It was like my husband had no control of the vehicle. Both airbags deployed. Tires were still locked when tow-truck arrived. Other car involved did not have this issue. We do not have a hybrid, but wonder if the steering recall that started with 2012 Mkz hybrids & others could involve additional models like ours (recall 15v340000). What we experienced was not normal.

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 seat belt retractor for the rear 2/3 seat is stuck in the down position. Seat belt will not release. Cannot get seat back up into upright position. Cannot sit more than 1 passenger in rear. Vehicle was stationary at the time seat was released to the down position.

Seat belt sensor does not come on all the time when seat is occupied, horn does not work all the time. I was informed that this could be a major problem if left unrepaired. I cant seem to get my local Lincoln dealership to fix the problem weither its a module or something else.

When letting the seat down it wont go back up the middle seat belt retract gets st stuck it has happened twice it has been a recall on this but not on my VIN.

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.

Front passenger seat belt warning does not does not light up or beep for around 4 blocks of travel. If most accidents happen close to home this could be serious or even fatal. The dealer says it is this way with all the other models he compared mine to. This does not make a safe situation. The driver's warning works right after motion begins. The passenger's belt warning should work the same way. The owners manual states it will light and beep if not connected and the seat is occupied.

My wife and I were involved in a collision after a woman, who claims to have fallen asleep, sideswiped the car immediately ahead of us on a 2-lane road. In an attempt to avoid a head-on collision, I swerved off the road to the right. She accelerated, turned left and got in front of us and we collided with he right front fender at the wheel-well. The car was totaled. The airbags deployed and the front end was crushed. I was driving and my left arm was broken. The little airbag in the steering column hit me in the chest, bruised me, and caused severe pain. My wife was in the front passenger seat. Her seatbelt was securely fastened, but it did not hold her in place as it was designed to do. On impact, she met the airbag halfway and most of her ribs were fractured. Four (4) of her vertebrae were fractured, as was her right ankle. Her lungs were bruised and one was punctured. Her left knee hit the dashboard and drove her femur through her pelvis. She was taken to umd shock-trauma center where she was intubated, sedated and put in traction for several days before a 7 hour surgery to rebuild her hip and femur. She was in a full-torso cast and used a wheelchair for >6 weeks. She is still rebounding from the effects of the ineffective seatbelt, which did not work as designed.

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.
