2003 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR Complaints

FRONT AIR SUSPENSION ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT WORK IN COLD WEATHER, AND ONLY WORKS HALF OF THE TIME IN WARM WEATHER. TRUCK IS VERY WELL TAKEN CARE THRU THE DEALERSHIP AND HAS ONLY 76,000 MILES AND BEEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE SUSPENSION AND RIGHT RUNNING BOARD. SEE ALL OVER THE INTERNET NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING, THIS IS CLEARLY A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE MODEL (2003 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR). THE TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN IN 2 MONTHS BECAUSE OF THE EXPENSE AT THE DEALER TO REPAIR. *TR

THE SUSPENSION IN MY 2003 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR HAS GONE COMPLETELY OUT. THE ESTIMATE TO GET IT FIXED IS OVER $1000, BUT CANNOT REPAIR BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN LAID OFF FOR OVER A YEAR. BEING AS HOW THIS DEFECT IS SO WIDELY AFFECTS THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE, IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS A POSSIBLE RECALL. A TYPICAL CAR DRIVER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE EXPECTED TO PAY FOR AN OBVIOUS ENGINEERING DEFECT. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ENTIRE SUSPENSION SYSTEM FAILING WITH ONE COMPONENT GOING OUT. *TR

2003 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR TRAVELING 65 MILES AN HOUR AND SUSPENSION WENT OUT REAR ONE THIS TIME TRUCK BOUNCED SO HARD HIT MY HEAD AND TRUCK WAS UNCONTROLLABLE WE NEED TO SUE LINCOLN. BOUGHT MINE IN STATEN ISLAND DANA MOTORS WAS IN SHOP 21 TIMES FOR THE SUSPENSION THEY FIXED AND 3 MONTHS LATER OUT AGAIN LAST TIME OCTOBER COST ME 1100 DOLLARS . VERY BAD TRUCK STUCK WITH PAYMENT OF A DEATH TRAP! *TR

POWER SIDE STEP BARS ROTTEN WITH RUST, WE CAN NO LONGER STEP ON THEM BECAUSE THEY WILL BREAK OFF COMPLETELY THEN WE WILL HAVE A BIGGER PROBLEM. *TR

2003 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR AIR SUSPENSION SENSOR FAILURE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. CAUSED VEHICLE TO LOSE ALL SUSPENSION AND DROP AS LOW AS IT WOULD GO, PROVIDING NO SUSPENSION. TRUCK BOUNCED DANGEROUSLY OVER THE ROAD WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DECREASE SPEED AND REMAIN WITHIN LANE. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR .I BOUGHT IT IN STATEN ISLAND NY DANA MOTORS 2 YEARS AGO I HAVE HAD IT IN THERE SHOP FOR SUSPENSION CENSORS AND BAGS OVER 10 TIMES MY WARRANTY EXPIRED 30 DAYS AGO AND GUESS WHAT MY REAR SUSPENSION WENT OUT .I CONTACTED FORD OVER 10 TIMES AND I WANT TO SAY THAT THIS HAS TO BE THE WORST TRUCK AND COMPANY I HAVE EVER HAD TO DEAL WITH FORD FOUND ON ROAD DEAD GO GM. *TR

AIR SUSPENSION SENSOR WILL NOT STAY ATTACHED AND CAR HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT RANDOMLY GOES UP TOO HIGH OR DOWN TOO LOW. IF THIS OCCURS WHILE IN MOTION IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AS THE TIRE CAN COME IN CONTACT WITH THE WHEEL WELL. CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AND WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE $2000 TO REPAIR. FOR NOW THE SENSOR WAS CLIPPED BACK ON AND EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE. A WEEK LATER SENSOR CAME OFF AGAIN AND WE HAVE FIGURED OUT HOW TO PUT IT BACK ON OURSELVES. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND YEAR OF VEHICLE. THOUGH LINCOLN DID CORRECT THE ISSUE WITH THE NEWER MODELS NO ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE ON THE OLDER MODELS TO MAKE A MORE LASTING REPAIR. ON LINE THERE ARE TONS OF REPORTS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE PARTS REPLACED TO ONLY FIND THAT THIS DID NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE AT HAND AND MORE MONEY NEEDED TO BE SPENT TO ATTEMPT TO CORRECT IT. THERE ARE COMPANIES THAT HAVE COME UP WITH SYSTEMS TO REPLACE THE AIR SUSPENSION WITH TRADITIONAL SUSPENSION SO THAT MULTIPLE REPAIRS CAN BE AVOIDED IN THE FUTURE. THIS IS EVIDENCE TO ME THAT A DEFECT IS KNOWN INDUSTRY WIDE. *TR

CAN YOU CHECK OUT 03 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR AIR SUSPENSION BECAUSE MY KEEPS FAILING COMPRESSOR AND HEIGHT SENSOR CAUSING ROUGH RIDES CHECKED ONLINE SEEMS LIKE ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE SAME PROBLEM LIKE ME TOO. *TR

MY 03 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER RUNNING BOARDS ON THE DRIVER SIDE. AFTER CAR IS STARTED THE RUNNING BOARD REMAINS DEPLOYED AND WILL NOT RETURN TO THE "IN" POSITION UNTIL VEHICLE HAS EXCEEDED MORE THAN 5MPH. THE RUNNING BOARD WILL GO IN AND OUT EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP. THE PROBLEMS TEMPS TO BE WORST ON HOT DAYS. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM YET, BUT AFTER RESEARCHING AND READING SOME BLOGS ABOUT LINCOLN'S 03 NAVIGATOR I SAW THAT THERE IS A LOT OF OTHER NAVIGATOR OWNERS THAT ARE OR HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN THE RUNNING BOARD DOES NOT GO IN, IT MAKES THE AIR SUSPENSION NOT INFLATE AS IT SHOULD. THIS MAKES THE VEHICLE FEEL LIKE IF IT IS HEAVIER THAN IT IS AND AT TIME MAKING IT HARD TO HANDLE ON THE ROAD. WITH THIS I HAVE NOTICED THAT SINCE THE SUSPENSION IS NOT RUNNING OK THE CAR FEELS LIKE IF ITS DRAGGING, WHICH PUTS EXTRA STRESS ON THE TIRES, WEARING OUT THE TIRES FASTER THAN IT SHOULD. *TR

HI I WAS WONDERING THE INSIDE PASS. DOOR HANDLE WE WENT TO OPEN IT AND THE HANDLE BROKE IN HALF, WELL FOR 1 CANT BELIEVE IT WAS MADE OF CHEAP PLASTIC FOR THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR THE TRUCK AND 2 WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT AND THE HANDLE BROKE ETC. *TR
