| Description of the problem | The problem diagnosis was the left front seat belt tensioner. A lincoln dealer service employee said "the air bag will not work with this problem". At another lincoln dealership a service employee mentioned "this has been a real nightmare", many are having this same problem. I hear they had to change the manufacturer for the new part. Because of the part and installation cost, perhaps many people may not be able to afford the fix, therefore leaving them in a dangerous situation. *js |
