2006 LINCOLN TOWN CAR Complaints

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!!! *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON AT ALL TIME AND BEEPS. DASH BOARD AND HEAD LIGHT COME ON AND GO OFF AT TIMES ON THEIR OWN. OIL CHANGE LIGHT REMAINS ON AT ALL TIMES EVEN WHEN THERE IS NOT A NEED FOR OIL TO BE CHANGED. *TR

MY PARENTS BOUGHT THE CAR AS A CERTIFIED / PRE-OWNED WHEN IT WAS 6 MONTHS OLD. WITHIN THE PAST SIX MONTHS THE TOWN CAR WILL SUDDENLY TRY TO ACCELERATE, (OR THE ENGINE WILL RUN UP TO THE REDLINE ON THE TACHOMETER.) IT WILL LITERALLY SPIN THE BACK TIRES WHILE BOTH THE DRIVERS FEET ARE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. WE ARE CONTACTING THE DEALER THIS WEEK. THIS IS GETTING MORE AND MORE OFTEN. *TR

AIR BAG DASH LIGHT ON, THERE ARE 5 BEEPS FIVE TIMES EVERY HALF HOUR. REPAIR SHOP/LINCOLN DEALER SAYS IT'S A SEAT BELT SENSOR FAILURE. SEAT BELT MAKER WENT OUT OF BUSINESS. LINCOLN WILL NOT GUARANTEE THAT A REPLACEMENT BELT FROM THEIR STOCK WILL WORK. COST TO REPLACE SEAT BELT PARTS AND LABOR $700.00. PER MANY BLOG SITES THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT FORD/LINCOLN HAS NOT ADDRESSED. WHEN QUESTIONED LINCOLN DEALER WILL NOT CONFIRM THAT THE AIR BAGS WILL DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON FOR A DAY THEN GOES OFF AND A COUPLE DAYS LATER COME ON AGAIN. WE HAVEN'T TAKEN IT IN YET BUT WE WILL SOON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 LINCOLN TOWN CAR. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000. UPDATED 11/21/14*CN UPDATED 8/13/2015 *JS

WHILE COMING TO A STOP, CAR ACCELERATED WHEN BRAKE WAS APPLIED. CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE WHILE STANDING ON THE BRAKE, SMOKING THE BACK TIRES. THE BRAKES COULD NOT HOLD THE ACCELERATION AND GRADUALLY PUSHED INTO THE VEHICLE AHEAD THAT WAS STOPPED. *TR

MARCH 22, 2013, AIRBAG LIGHT APPEARED ON DASH. DEALERSHIP SERVICE MAN ADVISED ME THE LIGHT INDICATED THE AIRBAG MAY NOT INFLATE UPON CRASH. I WAS CHARGED $39.95 FOR MISCELLANEOUS REPAIR TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BUT A DIAGNOSTIC COST WOULD BE $89.95 AND REPLACEMENT COST WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $1600. DUE TO COST, NEITHER WAS THE DIAGNOSTIC NOR THE REPLACEMENT COMPLETED. TODAY, THE AIRBAG'S ALARM BEEPING AND THE AIRBAG'S DASH LIGHT CONTINUE TO OPERATE. IS THERE ANY PATTERN RELATED TO AIRBAGS IN 2006 LINCOLN PRODUCTS? *TR

SEAT BELT ALARM STARTED GOING OFF. FORD SERVICE 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. *TR

SEAT BELT/AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT APPEARED, AND STARTED REGULAR CHIMING, 5 AT A TIME. *JS
