Every time I drive my car my airbag light comes on and it chimes 5 times repeats a couple of times then shuts off. After doing online research, looks like this is a common/costly problem for the 06. Every half hour it beeps again 5 times repeats a couple of times then shuts off. Ford should issue a recall!

While driving to work the airbag light came on and started chiming. I looked the problem up on line and found this is a common issue with Lincoln. They stated the problem is in the connection and the repair by Lincoln cost $700. Many stated after fixing the driver side the passenger side failed soon after. Decided to not take it in for repair due to cost and chance of another failure.

Within a mile of leaving home, the seat belt light came on & started beeping. Driver glanced down to check seatbelt only to find that it was coming unlatched. In the brief seconds that it took to glance down & back up, driver was already leaving the road and in a panic, accidentally hit gas instead of brake. Car was totalled. The only airbag that deployed was the steering wheel. Driver sustained serious trauma injuries to head, ribs, pelvis, femur as well as extensive hematomas. Driver is also suffering from stress related to accident. Driver is now recovering with the aid of physical therapy and other devices for mobility (walker, wheelchair, cane, etc.). driver is son of owner of vehicle.

Light for seat belt came on and there was a beeping song, took to dealership, said that was a shortage and the pre-tensioners seat belt retractor had to be replace, if not replace if I got into an accident the airbag would not deploy. Paid $719 to have replace. Fast forward to today Oct. 22, 2014. Same thing happen again took it to dealer said that this time it is the driver side that needs to be replaced. Spoke with some other Lincoln owner of 2006 Lincoln, it seems as though quite a few people are having the same problem.

The air bag warning light came on and the alarm to get your attention sounded. This alarm occurs often and is disconcerting. I talked with the service manager at the local dealership concerning this problem and asked on two occasions for a free diagnosis of the reason of the airbag light warning and alarm but was turned down. I do not drive the car often as I am not sure if the air bags will deploy in the event of an accident.

Air bag light came on, Ford ran a $60 test and said it was the passenger side pretensioner and the air bags might not deploy with this light on. Ford's cost to fix $750. From internet information it is a chronic problem on the Lincoln, particular around the 2006S. The service manager knew what my problem was right away when I said air bag. I think there should be a recall, or help with the repair.

- Jonesboro, GA, USA

This well-maintained car is kept in a private garage. I cranked car in the morning and air bag light came on. Drove to dealer without protection of an operational air bag system. Dealer identified problem as passenger side, front seatbelt pretensioner but there had been no passenger in car either the last time it was driven or as the car was cranked and air bag light came on indicating a problem existed.

My car is making a beeping noise and the air bag sign is showing on the dash.

- Lake Charles, LA, USA

Safety issue with air bag/seat belt. Have had both driver's and passenger's seat belts replaced due to air bag lights coming on. Between the two repairs have spent over $1,200. Should be a recall on this problem since the air bags won't deploy in case of an accident.

- Saint Louis, MO, USA

Warning light came on beeped 5X in a row several times stopped then repeated over and over as long as we were driving. Cost over $450 to replace seat belt. There seem to be many of this same problem listed. I have had 7 Town cars in the last 20 years, never had a problem. I have already had a recall repair on the steering column. But, still love that car!!!

Air bag light stays on at all time and beeps. Dash board and head light come on and go off at times on their own. Oil change light remains on at all times even when there is not a need for oil to be changed.

- Gould, AR, USA

Air bag dash light on, there are 5 beeps five times every half hour.

- Charlotte, NC, USA

Air bag dash light on, there are 5 beeps five times every half hour. Repair shop/Lincoln dealer says it's a seat belt sensor failure. Seat belt maker went out of business. Lincoln will not guarantee that a replacement belt from their stock will work. Cost to replace seat belt parts and labor $700. Per many blog sites this is a problem that Ford/Lincoln has not addressed. When questioned Lincoln dealer will not confirm that the air bags will deploy in the event of an accident.
