2007 Lincoln Navigator Problems

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

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.

DRIVER'S DOOR LATCH WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND THE RPMS INCREASED. THE CONTACT HAD TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL FOR THE RPMS TO DECREASE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

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.

THE DRIVER SIDE SEAR TEARS BECAUSE THE SIDE CUSHION RUBS ON THE BOTTOM PLASTIC SUPPORT LOWER LEFT SIDE. THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT! *TR

WHEN THE DRIVER EXITS THE VEHICLE, THE LOWER SEAT CUSHION IS SOFT ENOUGH TO BE COMPRESSED AGAINST THE HARD PLASTIC EDGING THAT SUPPORTS THE SEAT LOCATION CONTROLS. DUE TO REPEATED COMPRESSION AGAINST THE PLASTIC EDGING, THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT DEVELOPS A HORIZONTAL CRACK/CUT IN THE LEATHER CUSHION ALONG THE SIDE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT HEARD A POPPING NOISE FOLLOWED BY A LOUD EXPLOSION. HE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. HE THEN HEARD MORE POPPING SOUNDS AND NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DESTROYED THE VEHICLE AND MELTED THE SIDINGS OF THE HOUSE AND SHED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 1,500. THE CONSUMER STATED BEFORE THE FIRE REMEMBERS THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ACTING ERRATIC AND THE HEAT IN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT WORKING AT THE TIME. THE CONSUMER PROVIDED PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE ENGULFED IN FLAMES FROM THE DEFECT. UPDATED 08/20/07 *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT, THE CONTACT IS BLINDED BY THE GLARE FROM ONCOMING VEHICLES AND CANNOT CHANGE LANES. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT BECAUSE THE DASHBOARD IS BLACK, THE LIGHTS FROM THE DASHBOARD ARE AFFECTING HER VISIBILITY. SHE STATED THAT WHEN THE SUN SHINES ON THE VEHICLE, IT ALSO PRODUCES A GLARE WHICH AFFECTS HER VISIBILITY. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. SHE STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD SEEMS TO BE INSIDE OUT BECAUSE AT NIGHT, THE ONCOMING VEHICLES APPEAR TO HAVE THEIR HIGH BEAMS ACTIVATED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 4,200 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100. UPDATED 09/18/07 *TR

2007 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR WITH CUT LIKE GROOVES ON THE RIMS. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE DEALER TOOK PICTURES AND SENT THEM TO FORD. FORD SAID THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT IT IS NOT A DEFECT. *KB

ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 2014 AT 1200 HOURS, I PARKED MY VEHICLE IN A MCDONALD'S PARKING LOT. I BACKED INTO A SPACE (THE DRIVEWAY WAS SLANTED DOWN TO THE MIDDLE OF THE PARKING LOT), MOVED THE GEAR SHIFTER TO PARK, GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I WALKED IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, STOPPED TO WATCH TRAFFIC FOR A CLEARING TO CROSS THE PARKING LOT, AND THE VEHICLE BUMPED ME FROM BEHIND. IT WAS SLOWLY MOVING TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE PARKING LOT. I JUMPED BACK IN THE VEHICLE AND APPLIED THE BRAKE TO STOP ITS FORWARD MOTION. I CHECKED THE GEAR SHIFTER WHICH INDICATED THAT IT WAS IN PARK. BUT, I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFTER OUT OF PARK, PLACE IT IN REVERSE AND BACK THE VEHICLE IN THE PARKING SPACE, AND AGAIN PLACED THE GEAR SHIFTER IN PARK. AGAIN THE VEHICLE STARTED DRIFTING FORWARD. I TRIED SEVERAL MORE TIMES TO PLACE THE GEAR SHIFTER IN PARK. FINALLY, IT SEEMED TO HOLD. I WENT IN TO EAT MY LUNCH AND RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE. THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES, IT FINALLY DID. I DROVE THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT HOME. I PLACED THE GEAR SHIFTER IN PARK NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD HOLD AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED MOVING. EACH TIME THE GEAR SHIFTER INDICATED THAT IT WAS IN PARK. I APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP, ALAN JAY FORD, 3201 US HWY 27 SEBRING, FL 33870, 888-448-1737, AND SPOKE TO [XXX] IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. SINCE IT WAS THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND, THE FIRST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT IS NEXT TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2014 AT 0800 HOURS. I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO GET THE GEAR SHIFTER OUT OF PARK AND INTO DRIVE TUESDAY MORNING FOR THIS APPOINTMENT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE GEAR SHIFTER SHOWS ITSELF IN THE PARK POSITION BUT IS INTERMITTENTLY NOT HOLDING. THE VEHICLE MOVES ON ITS OWN AS IT DID IN THE MCDONALD'S PARKING LOT, BUMPING UP AGAINST MY BACK. FORTUNATELY, IT WAS SLOW MOVING THIS TIME. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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

BROUGHT MY LINCOLN NAVIGATOR INTO BOB MAXEY LINCOLN TO HAVE MY TIRES REPLACED. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW FROM A NOW OUT OF BUSINESS LINCOLN DEALER "STU EVANS LINCOLN" IN 2007. THE VEHICLE WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE 20" TIRES ON OEM, BUT CAME IN WITH 18" TIRES, SO STU EVANS SWAPPED THEM WITH TIRES FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS BRINGS ME TO MY CURRENT SITUATION. I HAVE NEVER REPLACED THE TIRES OR HAD ANY WORK DONE ON THEM, BUT UPON BOB MAXEY REPLACING THE TIRES THEY NOTED THAT I HAD ONE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR "GLUED ON" AND ONE TIRE WHERE THE SENSOR AND BANDING WAS COMPLETELY MISSING. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND IN A HEAVY SUV FOR 3 YEARS WITHOUT THE SAFETY OF HAVING AN FULLY FUNCTIONING TIRE PRESSURE SENSORING SYSTEM DUE TO FORD'S DEALER. NOW LINCOLN WANTS ME TO PAY TO HAVE THIS SYSTEM PUT ON. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY REPAIRS DONE TO THE WHEELS. THIS IS A MASSIVE SAFETY CONCERN AS I DO NOT WANT TO BE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT KNOWING THAT I HAVE LOW TIRE PRESSURE AND ROLLING THE VEHICLE OVER. FORD SHOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE WHEN I BOUGHT IT. *TR

WHILE BRAKING NORMALLY MY ENGINE CONTINED TO REV AND MY VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PUSH THE BRAKE DOWN AS HARD AS I COULD TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. *AK

DRIVING TO WORK. GOING 45-50 MPH, A DOG RUNS IN FRONT OF ME, AND SWERVED AND HIT A TREE. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURIES. TRYING TO FIND AN ATTORNEY TAKE THE CASE. *TR
