The driver's side seat belt assembly had to be replaced because its connection with the air bag system had corroded, no longer communicating with the safety system. If the air bag would deploy, the seat belt will not restrain you.

Like the driver seatbelt assembly, the front passenger seatbelt assembly now had to be replaced for the same reasons of a failed connector. This is unacceptable. Never had a failure like this. I wrote to Lincoln about paying over $1,500 for repairs that should never happened. They told me in so many words "too bad". I was in the market for a new car at the time to replace my Saturn. I was looking at Lincoln. With their response, I instead bought Subaru. This was the first time in decades I did not buy a new Lincoln. Their back office doesn't understand customer relations. Still not sure I will return to Lincoln with my next contemplated vehicle purchase.

Leather on front seats worn. Vanity mirrors for rear seat passengers in the Signature L model were coming apart due to the plastic mirror frames separating. Could no longer find parts for them, so welded the frames. So far so good.
