NHTSA complaint: 2001 LINCOLN TOWN CAR — POWER TRAIN
I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR WHEN IT HIT ICE AT 9:20A- 1/25/2013 ON I-94 NEAR CHESTERTON, IN, SPUN AROUND AND CRASHED TWICE (FRONT/REAR) INTO THE LEFT CONCRETE BARRIER PARALLEL TO THE ROADWAY. NONE OF THE 4 AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I (AGE 77) AND MY PASSENGER (AGE 83) WORE SEAT BELTS THAT SAVED US. CAR FRONT SMASHED; CAR REAR LESS DAMAGED. SIDES ARE O.K.. ISP REPORT ID:201300021141. NEITHER OF US SOUGHT MEDICAL TREATMENT. MY CHEST STILL HURTS! AIR BAGS WOULD HAVE HELPED HAD THEY DEPLOYED. LAKE SHORE FORD, CHESTERTON, IN (219)787-8600 SAID CAR WAS "TOTALED." ISP OFFICER WEEMS REPORTED THAT I MAY RECEIVE A TICKET FOR "TOO FAST FOR CONDITIONS." TC FAILED THE ONLY AIR BAG TEST IT EVER HAD. SEAT BELTS DID NOT. NO OTHER CARS WERE INVOLVED ON BUSY I-94. WE WERE LUCKY! *TR
