Air Bag Problems of Lincoln Town Car - part 1

Want to report similar problem others seem to be reporting. When starting the car you hear 5 chimes/beeps repeating five times. The airbag light remains lit the entire time. On extended trips the chimes/beeps comes on again roughly every thirty minutes. Being directly linked to the airbag I’m surprised to find that this has yet to be recalled especially since many other towncar owners are reporting the exact same problem. I discovered that others were having similar issues when I was looking for a replacement seat belt because ours is sluggish to retract, you have to help it back to starting position.

Driving home from a shopping and near home we heard two very loud bang noises. The passenger side of the car lowered to the road. I was near my driveway, and I drove it into the yard. There it has sat with one side much lower than the other.

Just called Ford motor company and they say that NHTSA, issues the recalls ,not Ford motor company, why haven;t you issued one for this model car? you would think Ford would be concerned about our safety, they don;t care and neither does NHTSA. . . . . How many people , including children must die before you issue a safety recall notice? thats why we need a change in our government, and very soon. . .

Chimes 5 times and repeats 5 times. This occurs every 30 minutes once car is started and seat belt/aibag light continuously on. Diagnosed by Ford dealer as driver's seat belt retracror. Replaced and chime and light will not go off. Happens while stationary and while car is in motion. Haven't attempted to repair again due to cost and have read that this doesn't necessarily fix the problem.

Within a mile of leaving home, the seat belt light came on & started beeping. Driver glanced down to check seatbelt only to find that it was coming unlatched. In the brief seconds that it took to glance down & back up, driver was already leaving the road and in a panic, accidentally hit gas instead of brake. Car was totalled. The only airbag that deployed was the steering wheel. Driver sustained serious trauma injuries to head, ribs, pelvis, femur as well as extensive hematomas. Driver is also suffering from stress related to accident. Driver is now recovering with the aid of physical therapy and other devices for mobility (walker, wheelchair, cane, etc. ). Driver is son of owner of vehicle.

My father was involved in an t-bone accident which totaled both vehicles. Not one of his airbags deployed. I understand the front not deploying but neither of the side bags deployed as well.

My car is making a beeping noise and the air bag sign is showing on the dash.

Air bag dash light on, there are 5 beeps five times every half hour.

Had an accident and as a result the airbag notification light stays on. Light suppose to indicate that the airbag inflated. It did not inflate during accident. Accident was on a city street and it was in motion.

I lost control of the car when it hit ice at 9:20a- 1/25/2013 on I-94 near chesterton, in, spun around and crashed twice (front/rear) into the left concrete barrier parallel to the roadway. None of the 4 air bags deployed. I (age 77) and my passenger (age 83) wore seat belts that saved us. Car front smashed; car rear less damaged. Sides are o. K. . Isp report id:201300021141. Neither of us sought medical treatment. My chest still hurts! air bags would have helped had they deployed. Lake shore Ford, chesterton, in (219)787-8600 said car was "totaled. " isp officer weems reported that I may receive a ticket for "too fast for conditions. " tc failed the only air bag test it ever had. Seat belts did not. No other cars were involved on busy I-94. We were lucky!.

Seat belt alarm started going off. Ford sevice department said they knew of the condition. The seat belt is not working correctly and in case of an accident the air bag/s will not engage. This is a safety hazard that the Ford company has known about and refuses to fix at their cost. It is about $1,000. 00 and I do not have that kind of money. . This to me doesn't seem any different then gm knowing there is a safety problem but refuses to do a recall. Ford service department claims there hasn't been enough reports of the problem to do a recall. So not having the money to fix this, I'm risking my life and anyone riding in the front seat with me each and every time I drive the car. I would appreciate any and all help on this matter.

The problem diagnosis was the left front seat belt tensioner. A Lincoln dealer service employee said "the air bag will not work with this problem". At another Lincoln dealership a service employee mentioned "this has been a real nightmare", many are having this same problem. I hear they had to change the manufacturer for the new part. Because of the part and installation cost, perhaps many people may not be able to afford the fix, therefore leaving them in a dangerous situation.

The "air bag" light on this vehicle comes on often, irregularly and unpredictably on this vehicle. The dealer says it must be illuminated while in their shop to perform any diagnostics. This has been occurring for several years, and many miles.
