2001 Lincoln Navigator Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND EXHIBITED NUMEROUS OTHER MECHANICAL ISSUES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRES WERE BALD, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED, AND THE BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKES, TIRES, AND PARTS OF THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON I-95 NORTHBOUND AROUND WOOLBRIGHT ROAD, I RAN OVER TIRE DEBRIS AND CAUSED PART OF MY TIRE TO COME OFF. THE TIRE DID NOT GO FLAT AMAZINGLY, BUT I WILL DEFINITELY NEED A NEW TIRE. I HAVE A NAVIGATOR, SO LUCKILY IT DIDN'T CAUSE ANY MORE DAMAGE LIKE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I had been driving for about 15 minutes and then I noticed a burning plastic smell. It was dark so my headlights were on. I felt heat coming from under the dash by the pedals. I started to watch my dash to see if the truck was over heating or the check engine light would come on but neither of those happened. The next light I stopped at I could see smoke coming from the driver side air vents. I pulled over and opened the hood and nothing. Well after some extensive searching I located the issue. The headlight switch to control my headlights was completely melted. Had I not pulled over and popped the hood, Im sure the truck would have continued to catch fire. I replaced the fuses and switch and have not had any problems there but I do now have problems with my odometer lights. I cannot seem to keep that fuse from popping. Everyone I replace just pops again. So I have an electrical issue somewhere I guess I'll just have to start chasing wires!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER RAINY WEATHER, THERE WAS A BURNING ODOR AND AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AS IF IT WAS ATTEMPTING TO START INDEPENDENTLY. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

THE VEHICLE'S CRUISE CONTROL JUST WILL NOT ENGAGE ANY LONGER. HAS WORKED FINE UP UNTIL ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO.

IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE AND NO 1 KNOW WHAT IT IS

HELLO, LUCKILY I MADE IT HOME BEFORE THIS HAPPENED AS I WAS TOWING MY TRAILER WITH A COUCH AND CHAIR ON IT. I GOT HOME AND STOPPED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE, THEN HAD TO MOVE THE TRUCK. WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS TO MOVE, THERE WAS A HORRENDOUS BANG, A CLUNKING NOISE AND THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE DROPPED DOWN ALMOST TO THE GROUND. UPON JACKING THE VEHICLE UP AND EXAMINING THE DAMAGE, THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARMS ROTTED ON BOTH SIDE AND COLLAPSED LIKE PRETZELS, ALLOWING THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO TWIST, SNAPPING THE DRIVESHAFT FLANGE WHERE THE UNIVERSAL GOES AND BLOWING OUT BOTH REAR SUSPENSION AIR SPRINGS. AS I SAID, LUCKILY IT WAITED UNTIL I WAS HOME FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. IF IT HAD HAPPEN ON ROUTE 287 ON MY WAY HOME AT 65MPH, I'M SURE THE RESULTS WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. EXAMINING THE UPPER CONTROL ARMS SHOWED THEY ARE ROTTED TO! I CONTACTED THE FORD DEALER I HAVE USED FOR REPAIRS AND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE SEEN IT BEFORE, BUT TO THEIR KNOWLEDGE, FORD IS NOT ASSISTING FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHEN I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY TOOK MY VIN NUMBER AND SAID THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE SO FORD WOULD NOT ASSIST EITHER. READING ON LINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND I THINK FORD SHOULD BEE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. I AM 49 YEARS OLD AND HAVE OWNED ALOT OF CARS, I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS! I WORK FOR AN AUDI DEALERSHIP, NEEDLESS TO SAY I DON'T THINK I WOULD BUY ANOTHER FORD. *TR

PROBLEMS WITH FUEL PUMP, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, DRIVER'S SEAT, BRAKES, AIR CONDITIONER, GEAR SHIFT, AIR BAG, CD PLAYER, WINDOW MOTORS, DRIVER'S HANDLE DOOR, SUNROOF. *MR PH. ALSO THE FUEL PUMP, TRAILER HITCH, THE LIGHTER EJECTED TO THE FLOOR ,THE IGNITION WAS LOOSE AND THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE WINDOWS.. *JB

SECOND TIME THE SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF THE TRITON 54 HEAD.. TRAINED TEC PERFORMED IT THE FIRST TIME SERT INSTALL AND WORKED FINE. HE DIDN'T TOUCH THE FACTORY PLUGS ON THE OTHER CYLINDERS. BUT THOSE BLEW OUT THIS IS A FORD DESIGN ERROR AND FLAW BUT THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. INSTEAD THEY RATHER BLAME THE TECHS AND THE CUSTOMER. *TR

I OWN A 2001 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR WITH A 5.4L ENGINE. I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND WAS GOING APPROX. 15 MPH WHEN I HEARD A BANG COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. AT FIRST I THOUGHT I HAD HIT SOMETHING OR SOMETHING WAS FALLING OFF THE CAR. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AT THIS TIME THE ENGINE STARTED TO RUN ROUGH. I SHUT IT OFF AND CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD BUT COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG. I THOUGHT, AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE THAT IT MIGHT BE A BAD SPARK PLUG. AS I STARTED OFF THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING BAD SO I DECIDED TO RETURN HOME.THE NEXT DAY, 10/09/2010, I DECIDED TO CHECK FURTHER AND REMOVED THE THREE OF THE SPARK PLUGS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, BUT THE LAST ONE WHICH IS AT THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE I NOTICED THE COIL WAS ALL TORN APART AND THE END OF THE COILED WIRE WAS STICKING OUT FROM THE PLUG HOLE. I PULLED SAID WIRE OUT AND SAW THE SPARK PLUG AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HOLE. IT APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN BLOWN OUT OF ITS THREADS. ALSO TO BE NOTED IS THE SMELL OF GAS WAS VERY APPARENT AND BECAUSE THE SPARK PLUG WAS DAMAGED, THE GROUND WAS FORCED AGAINST THE ELECTRODE AND WAS UNABLE TO SPARK. IF IT DID, I'M SURE THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE. I ALSO FOUND TWO PIECES OF SOME UNKNOWN MATERIAL THAT FELL INTO THE CYLINDER. THE PART APPEARS TO BE A CARBON MATERIAL AND MIGHT BE PART OF THE COP, COIL OVER PLUG. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE WEB, THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF FORD ENGINES. I CALLED THE LINCOLN DEALER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. BUT THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME IF THEY CAN HELP. FURTHER INQUIRY FOUND THAT FORD RECOMMENDS REPLACING THE CYLINDER HEAD WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. THIS WOULD COST APPROX. $3500.00. AS I HAVE BEEN UNEMPLOYED FOR FIFTEEN MONTHS, AND FINALLY FOUND A PART TIME JOB,(14 HOURS A WEEK) THIS WOULD BE AN EXPENSE I CAN NOT AFFORD. THE WEB SITES DID STATE THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT ADMIT TO THEIR POORLY DESIGNED HEAD. *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PROPERLY ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP THAT DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION WAS BURNING FLUID AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REBUILT.

WHILE DRIVING, THE CONSUMER NOTICED A BAD JERK IN THE TRANSMISSION, WHENEVER THE GEAR WAS SWITCH FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE OR VISE VERSA. *AK THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER WHERE THE CONSUMER REQUESTED THE TRANSMISSION BE LOOKED AT, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN FOR A TEST DRIVE AND ONLY THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS LOOKED AT. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE CONSUMER. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LOCKED UP AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND IT WAS EXPLAINED THAT THE WAY THE CLUTCH WAS DESIGNED IT DID NOT ALLOW THE PROPER AMOUNT OF LUBRICANT TO REACH THE CLUTCH WHICH THEN CAUSED THE CLUTCH TO SEIZE UP. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING 65 MPH THE HOOD LATCH BROKE CAUSING THE HOOD TO FLY OPEN. THEY MANAGED TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

DT: THE REAR SEAT HAS NO LOCKING MECHANISM, WHEN THE SEAT IS PUSHED UP THERE IS NO LOCK TO KEEP IT LOCKED. THERE IS AN ARM THAT PULLS OUT AND ATTACHED TO THE BACK. ON THE BACK OF THE SEAT ON THE DIAGRAM IT SHOWS THERE IS A LOCK, BUT ON THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE THERE IS NO LOCK. NOTICED THIS ON AUGUST 26, 2005; WHEN THE SEAT CAME DOWN TO REST IN ITS POSITION, IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE. IT IS SO LOUD THAT ONE WOULD THINK THE CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. CONTACTED THE DEALER, THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT DIRECTION TO GO WITH THIS. *AK

I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THE GAS PEDAL CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AFTER REMOVING MY FOOT. I THOUGHT I MAY HAVE SET OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE STEERING WHEEL, SO I PUSHED THE OFF BUTTON. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE, SO I HIT THE BRAKES, HOPING THAT WOULD TURN OFF THE CRUISE. THE BRAKES ON THE CAR WERE STIFF AND THE PEDAL WOULD NOT GO DOWN. THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING AT ALL. I DOWN SHIFTED TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN , THE CAR JUMPED A LITTLE AND SLOWED DOWN A LITTLE. I DOWN SHIFTED AGAIN AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN EVEN MORE. I CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD AT APPROX. 40 MILES PER HOUR AND WAS UNABLE TO STOP. I FINALLY SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, THE CAR JUMPED A FEW TIMES, THE WHEELS SPUN BACKWARDS THUS MAKING THE CAR GO BACKWARDS. I THEN TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT WHICH DIRECTED THE CAR INTO THE MEDIAN OF THE EXPRESSWAY. AS I CRASHED INTO THE MEDIAN BACKWARDS THE CAR STOPPED, BUT THE WHEELS CONTINUED TO SPIN, AND SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE TIRES. I THEN TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. *NLM
