Lincoln Navigator Reviews

I owned this car when I was 21. I saved my money for years to be able to get this car & it made me feel so good to be able to do something so positive in my life when growing up I had nothing. It brought me great joy and I felt so proud of myself to be able to show what I did. I'd recommend this car over any other. Lincoln Navigator has always been traditional truck based SUV with standard V8 power.

Buying this SUV has helped me be able to take road trips with friends and be able to fit many things in it. It's luxurious and has so much room and is very comfortable. It drives really good and handles really well. I have never had a problem with it and it's great for trips or just everyday tasks. You won't be disappointed with this vehicle. It will change your life completely. It's sleek and is well built. Its appearance is striking and it looks like a luxury vehicle. It's beautiful and shiny and if you take care of it it will look great. It has lasted me a long time. I have not had any problems and I have taken many trips and used a lot of miles and it still looks good and drives good.

The product, car, was a reliable, sturdy, handled well in all types of weather, very few problems or repairs, safety factor was high, good customer service. Good braking, steering. Appearance was very appealing, would be a good fit almost everyone, good color selections, great interior and quality of interior and add ins are of a high quality. Exterior and interior showed no signs of extreme wear if taken care of well.

Spacious, quiet and comfortable ride. Gas mileage good, better to keep it full, top off at 1/2 tank. Has a third row seat which could be taken out if room is needed instead of the seating. Air/heat vents throughout so everyone is comfortable. Nicely lit up dashboard with cruise control. The performance was excellent, better ride on the open road. Glides right along, quick start off. Breaking system and air bags are excellent. Recommend using Premium gas for better optimum experience with your gas mileage.

My 2004 Lincoln navigator got a spark plug broke inside the cylinder and ruined the motor. Now ford wants $8000 for a new engine. They know about this problem and they have not fixed it. What's going to take for ford to fix this problem. Now I have $50,000 piece of junk in my drive way. FIX THE PROBLEM FORD.

Everyone who is planning to buy Navigator L 2016/2017: WARNING: DO NOT BUY IT. This SUV looks very elegant, but has too many problems. The sync feature is NOT seamless, it is full of glitches. It has a transmission problems, it's not sound proof, you hear the wind sound. Compared to the Camry I use to for my personal, this SUV is a ripoff for the price they sell. Again: DO NOT BUY LINCOLN NAVIGATOR L. I purchased two SUVs on the same day. One SUV had display glitches. We go to the dealer (Highland Park Ford/Lincoln, IL) for a checkup. During the Checkup/Testing the display fails. My nice driver without complaining drives the SUV for six weeks. When I complained to the Matt ** at the dealership, he got the motherboard switched and it started working.

I OWN 2004 Lincoln navigator and have lived with the horrible Air Ride system. It has like so many others. I had constant problems from it going up half way to not at all to going out while going down the interstate which endanger my family. I went to Ford dealership which told me they could fix but it may be over 1200 dollars to fix with no guarantees it would work. I was told they convert it over for the small fee of 1600 to 1800 dollars.

I had spark plugs and coils replaced and oil changed during 114,000-mile service before heading to Florida for my yearly 3-week vacation stay. I started hearing a tapping noise on the passenger side so I took it back to my mechanic after putting about 1,000 miles on it to make sure it was OK to drive the 1,200 miles to Florida. Mechanic put it on the "machine" and said everything checked out OK and I was good to go. He put some "special" oil additive and said that should help. During the drive the tapping did continue but I thought nothing of it because mechanic said it was OK.

I owned a 2006 Lincoln Navigator that you could not drive when it was cold. The suspension would not rise. I know too many people with the same problems. I also had problems with the spark plugs. I had them changed and the technician broke one. This SUV cost too much money for everyone to be experiencing the same problem. There is a class action lawsuit about the spark plugs but there need to be one on the suspension.

Come on ford - what's the deal. I don't understand how a company can make a vehicle with so many problems - that costs $50k and up and act like there's nothing wrong. How many fires - deaths and loss of homes does it take before they step up - it's time for them to buy back lincoln navigators and crush them. I own a 2003 lincoln navigator - bought it 8/15 and what a electrical nightmare. This car has a mind of its own and does what it wants when it wants - the dealer doesn't know how to fix them.

2008 Navigator - Two times have had right front brake assembly fail while I am driving somewhere with family. Occurred in 2012 with 30,000 miles and again in 2015 with 50,000 miles. Has anyone else had this problem? I suspect a class problem that no one is talking about.

We purchased a 2003 Lincoln Ford Navigator in 2014 and the heat and defrost system went out. Took it back to the dealership and they said it was just the blend doors needed replaced so they claimed that they fixed it. As soon as I switched it from AC back to heat no HEAT or defrost. Took it back to the dealership and they said that it was a solenoid and it would require at least 8 hours of labor and it would be approx 800.00 plus for labor. Needless to say I have been driving it without heat. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue? Then we have a keyless entry pad on the driver side door. The keypad works except it won't unlock the driver side door, then with the remote it will unlock all the doors expect the driver side. Does anyone else have these issues or is it just me? I do have to agree not a lot storage space!!

Just last year I wrote about having to replace a 99 Navigator engine at 137K miles. Now have 315K miles (168K on new engine) and once again engine is losing compression. Probably due to a valve seat problem again. Clearly Ford didn't do a very good job engineering this engine (DOHC 4V 54.L). Funnier (not ha haa) still is when I asked the dealer about doing a tune up at over 100K miles, service folks warned me that plugs might be difficult to remove and may be broken in the process. That would require extraction and perhaps re-tapping the head. I guess that explains why I have read about plugs blowing out of these engines. Not sinking any money into it, so now it is my plow vehicle (takes a F150 plow attachment nicely).

My 2003 Lincoln Navigator recently had to be placed in the shop for problems with the air suspension that rendered the car unsafe to drive on the road (zero suspension causing the car to bounce to the point of near loss of control). I have been shocked by the experience and what I've learned as I researched the issue in efforts to work through the problem (the numbers of folks encountering similar trouble appear to be unusually high). I took the car into the local Ford Dealership who indicated that the fix would be essentially a total replacement of the system at a cost of over $2,600! If that is not absurd enough, I was able to find a very honest and helpful local shop who replaced the air suspension compressor (which is the component that was actually failing) who subsequently ran into problems re-calibrating the system for proper operation.

Bought my '03 Nav in '04 with 19000 miles on it for 45,000. Would expect something so beautiful, so expensive, would work. Suspension. Engine miss. Shifter. Timing chain. Instrument cluster...I can go on. Not enough room! Shame on u Ford!!!

I bought my 2005 Navi this year 2014. I had it one week and on the first morning, it was really cold (approx 22 degrees) the air suspension failed on a road trip. Was quite hazardous as the vehicle bounces, rendering the vehicle uncontrollable. The dealership took responsibility for it (thank God!). But now at this point, after all 4 air shocks have been replaced as well as the compressor, I still get a warning light for "Check Suspension" and at times a bumpy ride. I have read all over the internet about people with the same issue, yet Ford/Lincoln do nothing about the design. Only asking huge amounts of money to fix their problem. I'm very frustrated. I've had the car 1.5 months and 2 weeks of that it was in the shop. And the problem still isn't fixed. Lincoln needs to man up and help us out.

I have own over 10 Ford cars. In 2006 I traded in my Ford SUV, for a new Lincoln Navigator. I've always kept my car up, doing oil changes when needed and any service that the manual recommend. My wife now has her second Ford Edge a 2013. I've been having problems with my Navigator. I've changed out the fuel pump, and now they're saying I need an engine. I've always kept good maintenance on my vehicles. I am not physically able to work so I'm on a fixed income. I've served my country in the military and worked all my life, and my Navigator was my pride and joy, and my only means of transportation to the VA, other than my wife's car who works five days a week, so I cannot afford $8000 for new engine.

New 2014 navigator with less than 200 miles. Cannot read the odometer/information display during the day. Bright sunlight is impossible. The display is brighter when the auto sensor switches on the headlights. Anyone else have this problem?

RE: 2003 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR : HAZARDOUS ISSUE WITH THE AIR SUSPENSION (compressor), passenger seat air bag, spring coil, height sensor AND the electrical connection affecting all the other sensors. For what is now the FIFTH (5th) time in 5 years, I have brought my car in for repair of the automatic/air ride suspension. The first was with less than 50,000k miles. This fifth time, I still have less than 100k miles! There is certainly a tangible and evidential history of this reoccurring problem as I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP all but one of the times.

Bought a 99 Navigator 5.4L new. After 5 or 6 failed coils were replaced I was told the engine valve seats were shot. This at 137,000 miles. Since it has aluminum heads Ford said they could not do a valve job. Head replacement was $4000. Since the truck was immaculate, I asked about engine replacement - $8000 for Ford rebuild with warranty. Now have 300,000 miles on the truck. Have replaced 2 transmissions. One at 165,000 miles and one at about 285,000. Crazy right? We don't tow at all and we do a lot of highway driving. I won an Audi with 240,000 miles and never had a drivetrain issue. Not even a clutch. Why would I ever buy another Navigator?

I purchased a 2004 Lincoln Navigator in 2008 and before I received the vehicle, it was having a front right passenger side brake rattle sound, along with the steering wheel shaking very bad. Also the hood shocks were out. The repairs were done, but a year later the front rotors had to be turned again and new pads. Now last summer the same thing again and here it is 2014, I had all the rotors replaced but the rattling sound has not went away and Firestone, along with the Dealership, can't find anything wrong or loose in the front end at all. They are telling me the vehicle is in extraordinary condition for its year.

On May 8, 2008 I bought the above vehicle from you. On October 9, 2013 it developed serious engine defects. I am the owner of an 07 Lincoln Navigator. I really have enjoyed this car and have taken great care of it. I purchased the car in 2008 after my father passed away. I wouldn't have been able to afford the car otherwise. I am a single mom, with two young kids ,and this Navigator was a wonderful family car. The Navigator ran fine up until October 2013 with only 45,000 miles. I was running errands with my kids and luckily we crossed over a major road before my engine froze up and my car was dead.

My 2000 Lincoln Navigator went up in flames 30-45 min. after parking it. I investigated it and found that there was a recall that I never got notice on. Check your recalls. My car was a total loss!

My '99 Lincoln Navigator was parked in my driveway and had not been driven for more than 7 hours. I woke up to a good Samaritan beating down my door to tell me my car is on fire, which totaled it. Now, I have no car and only had liability due to the fact it was paid off all I could afford. The fact that this has been happening and Ford knows about it, they should be fully responsible to pay for my car or provide a new one. It's the first Ford I've owned and will never own another. Their lack of responsibility in this matter and not doing anything about it is shameful and dangerous. I'm just glad I still have a place to live and it didn't burn down my home.

My '06 Lincoln Navigator only has 61,700 miles and is garaged kept in the winter time. Two months ago, the driver’s side power running board became so loose that it was almost detached from the vehicle. Come to find out the aluminum bits of this power running board had corroded to the point that it was no longer working. This item was not covered under the extra protection warranty that I purchased along with the vehicle when new. It had to be replaced to the tune of approximately $1,800. Now, I come to find out that the passenger side power running board is going through the same process! However, now the charge to replace it is $2,500!

The paint is bubbling and peeling off the roof of my 2004 Lincoln Navigator. This leaves bare metal exposed and it's starting to rust. Then, there is the paint on the hood cracking because it is aluminum and Ford didn't do a very good job in the preparation process. So now I have a vehicle that back in the day was a $55,000.00 car will be a rust bucket soon if I don't paint it and with times the way they are, I cannot afford to paint my car. With that said I'm very disappointed that a luxury car such as Lincoln can have (to me) such a major problem. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

In Oct. 2003 our 1999 Navigator burned to the ground. This happened in our daughter's yard. Ignition off! No investigation. We just accepted it and were thankful no one hurt. I do not know why we keep buying Ford products.
