On 01/12/2019 I was traveling straight down a level country road with 1 passenger in the front passenger seat at about 45 mph when for no reason the passenger side air bag deployed without any warning. After regaining control of the vehicle we pulled to the side of the road and took a few minutes to calm down and figure out what just happened and clear all the smoke from the interior of the vehicle from the air bag. My friend in the passenger seat was sore but not injured and both our ears were ringing. It sounded like a gun fired in the car. I call Lincoln customer service and was told there was not any recalls on the vehicle and due to its age they would not provide any assistance to get it repaired. The side of the passenger seat is all tore apart.
