1999 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR Complaints

AIR SUSPENSION COMPRESSOR FAILURE. I WAS DRIVING ALONG IN THE VEHICLE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE DROPPED & STARTED BOUNCING UP AND DOWN WHICH CAUSED ME TO SWERVE..LUCKILY THERE WASN'T ANYTHING IN MY PATH. WHEN I HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED I WAS TOLD THAT THIS PARTICULAR COMPONENT FAILS IN OVER 80% OF LINCOLN NAVIGATORS AND NOW THE DEALER IS SELLING AN "UPGRADED PART" BECAUSE THEY'RE AWARE THAT THE ONE INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLES WAS DEFECTIVE AND I'M WONDERING WHY A RECALL HASN'T BEEN DONE ALREADY. *AK

I OWN A 1999 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR (FORD ENGINE 5.4L DOHC) ONLY 52000 MILES. THE SPARK PLUG #4 BLOW OUT OF THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE SEEN MANY OF THE FORD EXPEDIGION AND LINCOLN NAVIGATOR OWNERS EXPERIENCE THIS SAME ISSUE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFAULT WITH THERE ENGINE FOR THESE MODELS AND THUS SHOULD BE RECALLED.*AK

REAR WIPER DOES NOT ALWAYS COME ON, ODOMETER LIGHTS GO OUT, DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON WHEN ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED, RADIO SOMETIMES WILL NOT TURN UP, INTERIOR CABIN LIGHTS COME ON, SEAT WARMERS DO NOT COME ON. ALL OF THIS HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY, WITH NO WARMING, RHTME OR REASON. UNABLE TO HAVE DIAGNOSED, BUT CONSTANTLY READ ENTRIES OF SAME PROBLEMS FROM OTHER OWNERS....CAN BE A SAFETY RISK WHEN I CANNOT CLEAR REAR WINDOW OF RAIN/MUD.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT BEING SWITCHED ON/OFF. THEY SEEM TO HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN. THE REAR WIPER DOES NOT COME ON AT ALL MOST TIMES, EVEN WHEN TURNED ON. ALSO, THE ODOMETER LCD READOUT COMES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. SEVERAL LIGHT ON THE DASH CONTROLS PANELS COME ON AND OFF AT WILL AS WELL. IT JUST SEEMS THAT THERE IS SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE WIRING SYSTEMS OR POSSIBLY IN THE COMPUTER. HOWEVER, SINCE IT ONLY DOES IT INTERMITTANTLY YOU CANNOT PLAN TO CHECK IT WITH THE DEALER, BECAUSE THERE IS NO TELLING WHEN IT WILL OCCUR AND HOW LONG IT WILL LAST.*AK

THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE ELECTRO SPARK PLUGS WENT INSIDE THE ENGINE. THE DEALER WAS N OTIFIED BUT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. *NLM

I HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TIRES ON MY NAVIGATOR, THEY ARE CONTINENTAL CONTITRAC AT'S THE SIZE IS P255-75R17 AND THE DOT NUMBER OFF THE TIRE FOR PRODUCTION TIME IS 129. ON SUNDAY APRIL 13 I WAS TRAVELING DOWN I-4 FROM TAMPA TO WINTER HAVEN FLORIDA AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHEN THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE RIGHT REAR TIRE HAD SEPARATED AND A LARGE PIECE OF THE TIRE HAD COME OFF. I PUT ON THE SPARE AND DROVE HOME, CONTINENTAL TOLD ME TO GO TO TIRE KINGDOM WHICH WOULD NOT HELP ME. I JUST ASK THAT WE HAVE SAFE TIRES ON OUR VEHICLES AND THIS TIRE COMPANY SEEMS TO DO EVERYTHING BUT TAKE THE BLAME FOR THE PROBLEM.*JB

THE RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE TIRE TO 2 DIFFERENT PLACES AND THE FIRST MECHANIC STATED THE BLOW OUT WAS CAUSED BY A ROAD HAZARD, AND THE SECOND MECHANIC STATED HE WAS UNABLE TO TELL, BUT MAYBE DUE TO AN ALIGNMENT PROBLEM.*JB

UPON ACCELERATING VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT THROUGH THE GEARS. WHEN GETTING SET TO SHIFT INTO OVERDRIVE THE TRANSMISSION MADE A GRINDING SOUND. FELT LIKE HIGHWAY RIGHT OF WAY REMINDERS TO WAKE UP THE OCCUPANTS. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE AND I HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED 4 TIMES AND THE DEALER COULDN'T EXPLAIN. TRANNY FLUSH CURED THE PROBLEM. THIS WAS AT 25,000MILES. IT IS BACK AGAIN AT 55,000 MILES. IT FEELS UNSAFE. IF THIS LOCKS UP AT 55MPH MY FAMILY IS IN DANGER!

MY DAUGHTER AND I BOTH OWN 1999 NAVIGATORS. I HAVE HAD ONE TIRE SPLIT AND SHE HAS ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE TWO AND NOW THE THIRD TIRE IS DEFECTIVE. WE BELIEVE THE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. THE TREAD HAS SPLIT ON ALL THESE TIRES. DT

CONSUMER STATE WHILE VEHICLE WAS COLD WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKES WITHOUT ANY INDICATION VEHICLE ENGINE WOULD STALL. VEHICLE WAS SERVICE BY DEALER, TECHNICIAN REPLACE IDLE AIR CONTROL. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. TS
