DT: THE CONTACT HAD DIFFICULTY WITH THE POWER SEATS MEMORY SETTING/POWER-FOLDING HEATED EXTERIOR MIRRORS, AND THE POWER-DEPLOYABLE RUNNING BOARDS. THEY WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. THE POWER SEATS WITH MEMORY SETTING HAD A MEMORY FUNCTION THAT SHOULD REMAIN SET AT THE DRIVER'S PREFERENCE. HOWEVER, IT SOMETIMES READJUSTED WITHOUT WARNING. THE POWER-FOLDING HEATED EXTERIOR MIRRORS WILL NOT IDENTIFY PROGRAMMED POSITIONS. THE POWER-DEPLOYABLE RUNNING BOARDS WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY DEPLOY WHEN THE DOORS WERE OPENED. THE DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES IN AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEMS. AFTERWARDS, THE AFOREMENTIONED CONTINUED TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY. NO FURTHER REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. *AK

THERE IS A DISTINCT SHIMMY IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN DECELERATING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE SHIMMY PROGRESS' AS TIME GOES ON. THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN RESURFACED TWICE AND CHANGED ONCE. *JB

THE CONSUMER NOTICED A WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE DRIVELINE OF THE VEHICLE WHICH PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED. IT SEEMED TO BE MOST PRONOUNCED AT 60 MPH. THE CONSUMER THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE UNIVERSAL JOINT AND HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO TASCA LINCOLN DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR A WEEK, BUT THEY DID NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE PART WAS DEFECTIVE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. WHEN THE REPLACEMENT PART HAD COME IN, IT WAS ALSO DEFECTIVE. *AK *SC *JB

2004 FORD NAVIGATOR CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE PARKED IN THE CARPORT.*MR PRIOR TO THE FIRE THE CONSUMER READ AND ARTICLE ABOUT FIRE OCCURRING IN LINCOLN NAVIGATOR DUE TO FAULTY CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED THE CONSUMER HE HAD NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. TWO WEEK LATER THE CONSUMER'S HOME AND VEHICLE WERE DESTROY BY A FIRE WHICH STARTED IN THE VEHICLE. *NM

THE CONSUMER WENT TO START THE VEHICLE BUT THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. THE VEHICLE WAS JUMP STARTED AND ABOUT TEN MINUTES LATER WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL PARKED, THE CONSUMER SMELLED SMOKE IN THE AREA OF THE SEAT BELT PANEL. WITHIN SECONDS OF SMELLING SMOKE THE CONSUMER NOTICED A THICK STACK OF WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE CAUSE HAD NOT BEEN DETERMINED AT THIS TIME. *AK THE DAY BEFORE THE FIRE THE CONSUMER SMELLED SMOKE BUT SAW NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF SMOKE OR FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT A MODULE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT AREA HAD BURNED AND DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THE VEHICLE MUST HAVE SHORT CIRCUITED THUS KILLING THE BATTERY SUPPLY. *JB *NM

CONSUMER DISAPPOINTED IN THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF 2004 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH OR HIGHER THE VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE WHILE THE WINDOWS WERE DOWN. *BF THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE CONDITION WAS NORMAL. *NM

2004 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR WAS PURCHASED AUGUST 30TH 2004, ON ITS FIRST DRIVE HUSTON FROM DALLAS, THE ROTORS HEATED AND WARPED RESULTING IN SERIOUS SHIMMING ISSUES, THIS WAS FIXED BY MACHINING THE ROTORS. SECOND TRIP TO VERMONT DURING CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS FROM DALLAS, ROOTORS WARPPED AGAIN AND THE NAVIGATOR WAS SHIMMING SERIOUSLY, GETTING ME AND MY FAMILY NERVOUS THROUGHOUT THE 3300 MILE ROUND TRIP TO EAST COAST, DRIVING ON ICY ROADS AND THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS. DEALERSHIP SIMPLY MACHINED THE ROTORS AGAIN, THEY ADMIT THAT OTHER 2004 MODELS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE BUT WOULD NOT REPLACE ROTORS. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS BAD ROTOR BATCH THAT NEEDS TO FIXED BEFORE FAMILY ARE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. *AK

THE 2004 LINCOLN NAVIGTOR THAT WE PURCHASED HAS SUFFERED NUMEROUS BATTERY FAILURES LEADING TO VARIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. AT FIRST, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AT ALL. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR AND OVER A WEEK WITH THE DEALER, AN IMPROPERLY DEALER INSTALLED DVD PLAYER WAS THE CAUSE. HOWEVER, IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT PROBLEM WAS "FIXED" THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM FAILED. SPECIFICALLY, THE SCREEN WOULD "GREY" OUT NOT ALLOWING ANY INPUT INTO THE SYSTEM. AFTER 10-13 MINUTES, THE OPTIONS WOULD APPEAR FOR A FEW SECTIONS AND THEN "GREY" OUT AGAIN. *AK
