2004 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER NOR HAD IT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WE HAVE A 2004 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR ( THE SECOND WE HAVE OWNED) THE AIR SUSPENSION HAS NEVER WORKED AS WELL AS THE FIRST NAVIGATOR. THE RIDE WAS VERY GOOD FOR THE FIRST 50 THOUSAND MILES THEN WHEN IT WAS COLD IT WOULD TAKE A WHILE FOR THE AIR SUSPENSION TO WARM UP AND BEGIN TO WORK. IN ALABAMA IT DOES NOT GET THAT COLD THAT MANY DAYS BUT IT WAS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE ON THOSE DAYS. FINALLY THE SUSPENSION JUST STOPPED WORKING AND THE RIDE WAS TERRIBLE. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND PAID $98.00 FOR DIAGNOSIS. INDEED THE AIR SUSPENSION WAS LEAKING. COULD NOT GIVE US A FIRM PRICE SINCE THEY WOULD NOT KNOW FOR SURE IF ANY DAMAGE WAS DONE INSIDE THE SYSTEM. THE RANGE WAS FROM $1,200.00 TO OVER $4,000.00. IF I WANTED TO GAMBLE LIKE THAT I WILL GO TO THE CASINO. AFTER TALKING WITH SEVERAL MECHANICS THEIR RECOMMENDATION WAS TO INSTALL A REGULAR SUSPENSION WHICH COST US $850.00 INCLUDING INSTALLATION. CAR RIDES AS GOOD AS IT DID AND WE DO NOT HAVE TO EXPECT THE SUSPENSION TO GO OUT AGAIN. WE HAVE HEARD LOTS OF STORIES ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WE HAD AND HAVE HEARD A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE AIR SUSPENSION 2 TIMES BEFORE THEY GAVE UP. FORD KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM AND WILL NOT DO A RECALL. ONE MECHANIC TOLD US THAT THE AIR SUSPENSION IS THE SAME ONE THEY USE IN THE BIG FORD SUV AND THEY NEVER HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IT. FORD AND THE ENGINEERS NEED TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. AT THIS TIME WE WILL NOT PURCHASE A THIRD NAVIGATOR EVEN THROUGH I LOVE THE CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR, WHICH I HAVE OWNED SINCE IT WAS NEW. WITH THE RECENT RECALL OF F-SERIES FOR DEFECTIVE AIRBAG CLOCKSPRINGS, I AM CONCERNED THAT MY NAVIGATOR WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON TWO DAYS AGO, I CYCLED THE IGNITION AND IT WENT OFF. TODAY IT CAME ON AGAIN AND STAYED ON THROUGH MANY ON/OFF CYCLES OF THE VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT ISSUES FROM A POSSIBLY DEFECTIVE CLOCKSPRING. PLEASE HELP. *TR

THE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM HAS FAILED ON MY LUXURY 2004 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR (124,000 MILES). THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE FOR THIS VEHICLE BASED UPON MY ONLINE RESEARCH. THERE ARE COMPANIES THAT SELL KITS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM AS IT IS APPARENT THAT NOT FAILING IS NOT AN OPTION. PLEASE SEE THE STRUTMASTERS WEBSITE (HTTP://WWW.STRUTMASTERS.COM/). THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT AND APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE PARTS. HOWEVER THERE IS NO RECORD OF ANY RECALLS OR CHANGE IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. HELP!!! *TR

HID HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY. I HAVE 2004 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR AND WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY THEY REPLACED THE LEFT HID ASSEMBLY BUT THEY CLAIMED IT WAS NOT A RECALL. I AM SINCE OUT OF THE WARRANTY AND THE RH ASSEMBLY WENT OUT. NOW MY RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THE RECALL WAS ONLY TO YEARS 2003 IN THE NAVIGATOR, BUT TO 2006 IN THE EXPEDITION. THE ASSEMBLY IS THE SAME AS THE 2003 NAVIGATOR BUT THE "2004" IS NOT COVERED. WHY? *TR
