problem #2

Town Car 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 98,350 miles
Certain 2001 Lincoln Town cars have been recalled for the following failures, among others (1) windshield wiper motor failure, and (2) seat belt failure to latch. I contacted Ford motors but they told me my car was not included in the recall even though I was experiencing the same identical problems these two recalls were issued for. My wiper motor has failed and the front passenger seat belt will not lock.

Town Car 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 51,100 miles
My 2001 Lincoln Town car has had two failures of seat belt items, specifically the 1W1Z-5461202-aab buckle (made in Mexico). The failure starts as an intermittent problem where the buckle will not accept the insert to keep us in our seats. Both buckles failed in the same manner.
