2006 Lincoln Town Car problems

“Want to report similar problem others seem to be reporting. When starting the car you hear 5 chimes/beeps repeating five times. The airbag light remains lit the entire time. On extended trips the chimes/beeps comes on again roughly every thirty minutes. Being directly linked to the airbag I’m surprised to find that this has yet to be recalled especially since many other towncar owners are reporting the exact same problem. I discovered that others were having similar issues when I was looking for a replacement seat belt because ours is sluggish to retract, you have to help it back to starting position.”

“SEATBELT SENSOR ON OUR 06 LINCOLN TOWN CAR FAILED AND REPLACEMENT COST TO REPLACE THE SENSOR IS VERY PROHIBITIVE. I READ MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE, SO I BELIEVE FORD/LINCOLN SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECALL AND REPLACE SAID EQUIPMENT.”
