Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Two years ago I had the rear air bags repaired at the dealer at a cost of $1500. At the begining of this year the front air bags started to go. Like the rears the loss of air pressure is sporatic.sometimes the car lowers itself overnight, other times it happens while the car is in motion. I have also noticed that other early 90's continentals and towncars in my area sag at the front or rear of the car. I am wondering if you have received other reports about the problem. I also know that Lincoln no longer uses this system.”
NHTSA complaint #741480, filed 2001-02“Subframe mounts/motor mounts broke/repaired prior to recall notification. Consumer states after repair he experienced steering problems(power steering fluid leakage, contaminated cooler pump), believes problems to be due to subframe mount breakage(states on recall notice steering problems may result if motor mounts break)(98v-323).”
NHTSA complaint #544589, filed 1999-03“Vehicle was involved in a collison and air bag deploy, which cause the driver to experience a very bad trumor. Her left arm was broke due to the air bag deploying and she was only going 15mph.”
