| Description of the problem | Lincoln mkz 2007 airbag modular and sensors gone bad and airbag light is on. Car was checked for the problem and i was told that it would cost over $1500 to repair this problem. This car parts have continuously fail on this particular car panels on both front door have cracked, drives side has been replaced once by dealer. Was told that if i replace door panel i would have to buy the door rather than just a panel, have replaced all four reels on the car, tires constantly have to be checked for low air pressure in tires, dashboard has popped loose at vent in top of dashboard and was told by dealer it would cost over $2000 to repair. This car is suppose to be one of lincoln's best vehicles and the parts on this car are not top quality. Car is not old enough to have had so many problem. Car was poorly built and it is a shame that lincoln will not step up to the plate and acknowledge all of these problems with this car. I am a very unsatisfied customer and at this point would not consider buying another vehicle in the lincoln family. What a shame that you pay so much for a vehicle and get this kind of quality. Shame, shame, shame. |
