I WAS IN ABOUT A 25MPH FRONTAL COLLISION. I WENT THROUGH 3 AIR BAGS WHICH LEFT ONLY THE SEAT BELTS TO STOP ME. THE UPPER LEFT (DRIVER'S SIDE) OF THE BELT SNAPPED OFF BONE FROM MY CERVICALSPINE AND ALSO NARROWED A PLACE WHERE A MAJOR LEFT SIDE NERVE COMES OUT, LEAVING ME NEARLY PARALIED ON MY LEFT SIDE. ALL I HAVE IS A COPY OF AN MRI TAKEN IN A HOSPITAL.

I HAD A FRONT END COLLISION. MY HEAD WENT THROUGH 3 AIR BAGS AT THE CORNERS. THE SEAT BELT STOPPED ME AND FOR WHATEVER REASON, THE RIGHT LOWER BUCKLE DAMAGED MY HIP JOINT TO THE POINT WHERE I CAN NO LONGER WALK BECAUSE OF PAIN WHEN APPLYING DOWNWARD AND SOMETIMES UPWARD MOVEMENT. THIS WAS ALL BECAUSE OF 1 ACCIDENT.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2015 Lincoln Mkz Hev verdict →
