2001 Lincoln LS Interior & seats Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the interior system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Interior & seats reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. ALSO, THE SEAT MEMORY LOCK THAT SETS THE PREFERRED SEATING POSITION OF THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE FAILED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND EXPRESSED THAT A SOLUTION WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
