Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Warning light came on beeped 5x in a row several times stopped then repeated over and over as long as we were driving. Cost over 450.00 to replace seat belt. There seem to be many of this same problem listed. I have had 7 town cars in the last 20 years, never had a problem. I have already had a recall repair on the steering column. But, still love that car!!!”
NHTSA complaint #10616046, filed 2014-07, 110,000 miles“Every time I drive my car my airbag light comes on and it chimes 5 times repeats a couple of times then shuts off. After doing online research, looks like this is a common/costly problem for the 06. Every half hour it beeps again 5 times repeats a couple of times then shuts off. Ford should issue a recall!”
NHTSA complaint #10722944, filed 2015-06, 90,000 miles“Air bag light came on, ford ran a $60 test and said it was the passenger side pretensioner and the air bags might not deploy with this light on. Ford's cost to fix $750. From internet information it is a chronic problem on the lincolns, particular around the 2006s. The service manager knew what my problem was right away when I said air bag. I think there should be a recall, or help with the repair.”
NHTSA complaint #10632338, filed 2014-09, 45,000 miles“I started my Town Car and the air bag warning light started flashing and then the light remained constant. The series of chimes then started and stopped after the fifth series. This happened while the vehicle remained in park.”
NHTSA complaint #10994583, filed 2017-06, 90,910 miles“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.”
