7 Seats problem of the 2017 Lincoln Navigator

Failure Date: 08/28/2019

There is no weight sensor in the front passenger seat. There is no notification that the seat belt is not fastened. The air bag does not work unless the seat belt is fastened. My grandchildren's weight is not registered and therefore the air bag will deploy if they are in the passenger front seat and seat belted in. I was told by Lincoln Navigator division at Ford motor company that this is the way the vehicle was designed and remarked that I felt this condition of 1l. No notification that the seat belt is not fastened, 2. That if the seat belt is not fastened, the airbag does not work, 3. That if my grandson is in the passenger seat with seat belt fastened, the air bag will deploy causing him injury or death. They did not seem to care and told me there was nothing they could do about it. Nothing has happened yet but this vehicle and its design is unsafe in my opinion. The dealership says they cannot fix the issue.

9 Seats problem of the 2004 Lincoln Navigator

Failure Date: 12/03/2017

On 12-3-17 grant county sheriff's department officers responded to a call in swayzee, in reference an unresponsive toddler. A 20 month old who had fallen asleep in the third row of a 2004 Lincoln Navigator. The parents had gone to sweetser to help a relative move. Upon arriving at sweetser, the mother told the father she was taking "the baby" out to change her diaper. The father took that to mean their 20 month old; however the mother meant the 8 month old that she was babysitting. The father did not know his 20 month old had fallen asleep in the third row seat. He loaded items in a trailer and had three other items to fit. He pushed the buttons located in the back of the vehicle to fold down the automatic third row seats. The seats folded completely down and he loaded the items in the vehicle. They drove to swayzee where they realized their 20 month old was not around. The mother remembered her being in the third row seat. The father removed the items and raised the seats where he located the 20 month old unresponsive. Autopsy showed she died of suffocation due to compression on the chest. Reenactments were videotaped and photographed using a cpr doll 2 inches shorter than the 20 month old, the seats folded down flat all three times these were conducted. Our concern with the vehicle is the fact there was no sensors that kept the seats from completely folding with the child on the seat.
