First it was the alarm system it would lock me out the car. Then it was the air conditioning it would only turn on when it wanted too. Then I would press the seat cooler and it malfunctioned and I had a second degree burn on my lower back. Then the check engine light came on and it started to overheat. I pulled over turned off the ignition and the car was still running. That happened twice my mechanic would come turn the car off even by disconnecting the battery the car was still on somehow he had to disconnect another part for car to turn off. He told me not move it anymore. 15 to 20 minutes later the car was on fire and the fire department came and turned it off. I bought the car on 4/24/2021 and it was on fire on 05/27/2021.

Takata recall, NHTSA recall no. 16V384, Lincoln recall no. 16S26 11-23-16, I turned steering wheel to begin to park in shopping mall garage. Driver airbag immediately deployed prior to impact which caused me to hit the concrete wall ahead. There were no other passengers in the vehicle. Recall notice received July 2016 on passenger airbag. Obviously, there is a problem with the driver airbag also. We contacted Lincoln dealer when we received the notice & also contacted athem an additional 2 ' 3 times to check on status of recall repair with no results. Was told parts had not been received yet & that we would be notified when to schedule an appointment for the recall repair.
