problem #2

Town Car 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 135,000 miles
In 2003 Lincoln Town car when the airbag deployed it shot off the round silver Lincoln emblem which severely lacerated my nose. Thank god it did not take out an eye. I have noticed on the newer models that the emblem is now embedded in the material so it cannot fly off and cause injury.

Town Car 8-cyl

I had a front end collision in my 2003 Lincoln Town car and neither the drivers side nor passenger side air bags deployed. It was not until the car had stopped and I was getting out of the car that the drivers airbag deployed. The passenger side never inflated. The impact to my vehicle was so severe that the front end is completely gone and the hood was crumpled back to the windshield. The engine was pushed up against the firewall. Why did my airbags not inflate"??"!!!!!
