2007 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR Complaints

The contact owns a 2007 Lincoln Navigator. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine compartment, prompting the contact to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway. The vehicle was towed to the residence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the rocker arms, finding that the engine lacked adequate compression, resulting in damage to the engine. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

TAKATA RECALL. AT A SLOW SPEED, WITH THE FOOT ON THE BRAKE, VEHICLE ACCELERATES. SPEED IS GENERALLY UNDER 10 MPH AND HAS HAPPENED DURING TURNING...EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. SPECIFICALLY: IT HAPPENED ONCE TURNING LEFT INTO A PARKING SPOT; IT HAPPENED MAKING A SLOW RIGHT HAND TURN ON A STREET; IT HAPPENED AGAIN DURING A LEFT HAND TURN INTO A PARKING GARAGE. WE TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THE MECHANIC DROVE IT. IT HAPPENED TO HIM AS WELL, BUT I DON'T HAVE THE SPECIFICS FOR THE ONE INCIDENT, BUT HE ALSO EXPERIENCED THE BRAKES NOT ENGAGING NORMALLY TO THE POINT WHERE HE HAD TO PUSH EXTREMELY HARD ON THE BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS STILL WITH THE MECHANIC. I'M NOT SURE IF HE'S FINDING THE EXACT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE MASTER CYLINDER HAS BEEN REPLACE SO FAR, BUT 3 OF THE 5 OR 6 INCIDENTS OCCURRED AFTERWARDS. WE DID CONTACT THE LOCAL LINCOLN DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY TOLD US THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A SIMILAR INCIDENT. WE JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE SECOND HAND AND HAVE ONLY OWNED IT FOR 2 WEEKS. IT STARTED THE DAY AFTER PURCHASE. IT'S DANGEROUS AND WE DON'T KNOW WHERE TO TURN SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE "AS IS". WILL FOLLOW UP WITH THE MECHANIC TOMORROW, 05/13/2019.

MY 2007 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR MAY NEED RAIL CROSS-OVER HOSE BECAUSE IT CONTAINS WEAK AREAS. THE HOSE MAY CRACK, WHICH COULD CAUSE A FUEL ODOR AND/OR FUEL LEAK. THIS IS WHAT I'M SMELLING OUTSIDE OF MY TRUCK.

WATER APPEARS TO HAVE LEAKED INTO THE INTERIOR FUSE BOX , DAMAGING MANY ITEMS AND WIRES UNDER FUSE BOX , WIRES ARE SITTING IN WATER, CAUSING CORRUPTION AND LOSS OF LIGHTS AND OTHER FUNCTIONS

WAS DRIVING CAR SHUT OFF...BOUGHT NEW BATTERY INSTANTLY, THEN REPLACED CRANKSHAFT SENSOR BECAUSE AFTER CAR SHUTOFF IT WOULDNT START BACK UP...

THE A/C STOPS BLOWING AND FUNCTIONING. RECALL # TSB-08-9-1 FROM 10-23-2008 STATES THIS EXACT ISSUE. WHEN A/C IS SELECTED THE BLOWER MOTOR AUTOMATICALLY GOES TO HIGH.

HYDRAULIC STRUTS (LIFT SUPPORT) FOR BOTH FRONT HOOD AND POWER LIFTGATE COMPLETELY FAIL AND CANNOT STAY OPEN.

RUNNING BOARD ON DRIVER SIDE DOES NOT RETRACT AFTER CLOSING THE DOORS. IT REMAINS DEPLOYED. HAVE TO USE MY FOOT TO ASSIST IT TO CLOSE.....OFTEN. TRIED USING WD-40 TO LUBRICATE THE HINGES BUT THIS ONLY SERVES AS A TEMPORARY FIX. ISSUES RETURNS SHORTLY THEREAFTER.

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH IS BROKEN.....I CANT GET OUT OF MY CAR...AND CANT REALLY FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX
