What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 lincoln town car. While driving approximately 15-20 MPH on an icy road, the vehicle began sliding sideways. The contact lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a parked trailer on the shoulder of the road. The air bags failed to deploy. The vehicle sustained major damage to the passenger side doors, roof, and dashboard. The passenger side windows, windshield, and side view mirror were also damaged.
While driving to work the airbag light came on and started chiming. I looked the problem up on line and found this is a common issue with lincolns. They stated the problem is in the connection and the repair by lincoln cost $700. Many stated after fixing the driver side the passenger side failed soon after. Decided to not take it in for repair due to cost and chance of another failure.
