“Takata recall. I noticed a few weeks ago that my airbag light is on. I have 28000 actual miles on the 2005 Lincoln Town Car that has always been garaged. I have not had a recall on the airbag light and I would like for you to check it out and let me know of any recalls on the airbags.”
NHTSA complaint #11253948, filed 2019-09, 28,000 miles“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...”
NHTSA complaint #10896636, filed 2016-08, 62,000 miles“We have contacted ford motor company and they still refuse to do a recall on our 2005-Lincoln Town Car.,why is this not being fixed? We have spent $1200 dollars to locate the problem and have one seat belt replaced,and airbag inflator. After replacing one side, the other side now needs replacing,which there was not another part available. So now it's all disconnected,and all we have for safety is the seat belts,which ford said that would be safe enough. I find this unacceptable by this company and will never buy another ford product... …”
