What owners report
The contact owns a 2019 Lincoln Navigator. The contact stated that while shifting the transmission from Reverse (R) to Drive (D), the driver's seat belt suddenly jolted her back into the seat, causing neck and shoulder pain. The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) message was displayed. A loud, gunshot-like sound was heard, and an odor similar to a deployed air bag was noticed following the incident. The contact was informed by an unknown dealer that the parts were backordered for NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V344000 (Seat Belts). The contact then notified the manufacturer by telephone regarding the incident. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
How do you have a problem with a Parking issue transmission or automatically going into parking on neutral when I was driving it started like three years ago with a little knocking sound every time I used to shift The dealer always told me that the hard shifting was something normal every time I wanna ask him to check and they did nothing. They just say it was normal now my transmission is failing and I donât wanna be responsible because that same knock intensify and now it knocks and it breaks at the same time doing 25 to 30 miles an hour they asking for $10,000 for a new transmission which is their problem.

Vehicle: 2019 Lincoln Navigator (equipped with 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission). Incident Description: While operating the vehicle in normal traffic conditions, the transmission experiences severe internal hydraulic failure, resulting in a violent jolt/jerk.

Once in this state, the transmission suffers a complete loss of gear engagement, effectively locking the driver out of acceleration. The vehicle actively resists or completely refuses to engage Drive (D) or Reverse (R), causing an unexpected loss of propulsion while navigat
Seatbelts are not functioning properly. They have been in a locked position for some time now. I have contacted Lincoln and they state a remedy is not yet available. This puts anyone driving the vehicle in grave danger without being properly restrained.
My vehicle was moving slowly in a pickup line for my child. Randomly, the seat belt retractor went off and pulled me back into the seat. Initially, I thought it was a gunshot. Smoke was all in the car. My neck/shoulder has some bruising and cuts from the seat belt. There was a seatbelt light on the dash. It has been there for some time, but the recall's hasn't been issued and it's not realistic to not have a car until FoMoCo issues the fix.
