“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... …”

NHTSA complaint #10510791, filed 2013-05, 47,504 miles“Vehicle dashboard air bag light came on! Took to Lincoln dealer who stated it looked liked the passenger seat pretensioner needed to be replaced. Stated that most likely the driver side would also ultimately need replacement as well, as it is a continual and on-going problem! Cost to repair one side approx. $750.00 after discount. This car has always been serviced by Lincoln, never in an accident, and only has 35,500 miles on it. Dealer also stated, that it is a real safety issue and if not fixed, air bags might not deploy if in an accident. …”
NHTSA complaint #10598753, filed 2014-06, 32,500 miles“Our car has not been recalled by ford or NHTSA. Numerous requests over the last (2) years have not returned a response. Why is cars from the same year being considered and not ours? Is their safety more important than ours? Why are we being ignored by the establishment? This is outright discrimination..... We have spent $1200. For the passenger airbag inflator, only to find out we need the driver side inflator also for it to work. Where are the parts? Why hasn't foqrd made these parts available? They have neglected our safety..... …”
