1999 Lincoln Navigator complaints

(1) NOTHING BEFORE IT HAPPENED. (2) I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AT 10:50 PM AND AS I MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO THE PARKING LOTS AT ABOUT 5-10 MPH, I HEARD A CLANK AND BUMP BUMP. I TURNED AND SAW NOTHING AND SLOWLY MOVED FORWARD WHERE I SAW A TIRE IN THE ROAD BEHIND ME. I TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK AND SAW IT WAS A GOOD TIRE AND RIM ABOUT THE SIZE I HAD ON MY CAR. I LOOKED UNDER MY CAR AND TO MY SUPRISE MY SPARE WAS GONE. I PICKED UP THE TIRE AND METAL BRACKET THAT HELD IT. I COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING ELSE. THE NEXT DAY IN DAYLIGHT I LOOKED UNDER MY CAR AND FOUND THAT THE CABLE THAT HOLDS THE SPARE TIRE WAS BROKEN AT THE POINT WHERE IT CAME OUT OF THE BRACKET. (3) I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND HE DIDN'T LOOK AT THE CAR BUT SAID HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE. I ASKED HIM TO FIX IT FREE AND PASS THIS INFO UP THE LADDER AS THIS WAS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WAITING TO KILL SOMEONE. I TOLD HIM THE DAY BEFORE I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE @70 MPH AND IF IT CAME OFF THEN I WAS SURE I COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE. HE SAID I WAS LUCKY, BUT HE COULDN'T FIX IT FOR FREE AND MY CAR WAS 5 YEARS OLD. I TOLD HIM THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSURE AND THE SPARE TIRE HAD NEVER BEEN PUT ON THE CAR. NOTHING HE COULD DO BUT GAVE ME AN 800 NUMBER TO CALL. I DID AND GOT NOWHERE WITH THEM EITHER, I DID GET A REFERENCE # 0420083070. I'M ALMOST SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR, AS THE SPARE TIRE COULD COME OFF AND KILL SOMEONE. *AK

MY 1999 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR [XXX] WITH 5.4L A ENGINE WITH 80,000 MILES. THE SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE HEAD HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT HE RECENTLY HAD A NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN WHICH UTILIZED TOO FEW THREADS ON AN ALUMINUM HEAD. *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

THIS IS A TWO PART COMPLAINT. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED IN DECEMBER OF 2002. MY WIFE WAS IN A PARKING LOT OF A MAJOR SHOPPING CENTER AND WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING DOWN A PARKING LANE, SHE FOUND AN OPEN SPOT IN WHICH SHE STARTED TO TURN TO THE LEFT. AS SHE TURNED, SHE HEARD A POPPING SOUND, THEN SHE WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE CAR. WHEN I ARRIVED, I NOTICED THAT THE SWAY BAR PIN AND THE TIE ROD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WERE DISCONNECTED FROM THE WHEEL. I INSPECTED THE AREA AROUND THE CAR AND FOUND NO POT HOLES OR CURBS CLOSE TO THE VICINITY OF VEHICLE. IT WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL LINCOLN DEALER AND THE REPLACED THE PARTS UNDER WARRANTY WITHOUT MUCH EXPLANATION OTHER THAN MY WIFE MUST HAVE HIT A CURB. THEY ONLY REPLACED THE DAMAGE COMPONENTS AND REPORTED THAT THE OTHER SIDE WAS INSPECTED BUT LOOKED FINE. THE SECOND INCIDENT JUST OCCURED A WEEK PRIOR TO THIS COMPLAINT. MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING TO HER JOB AND WAS MOVING AT A SPEED OF APPROX. 20 MILES AN HOUR. SHE WAS IN THE LEFT LANE WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND BOUNCE. SHE WAS PULLED INTO THE LEFT LANE OF ONCOMING CARS, SO SHE DID NOT STOP THE CAR, BUT RATHER LET THE CAR TAKE HER INTO A SIDE STREET. A POLICE OFFICER WITNESSED THE INCIDENT AND WHEN I ARRIVED WE FOUND THE SWAY BAR PIN AND TIE ROD TO BE DISCONNECTED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. WE HAD A TOW TRUCK PICK UP THE TRUCK AND HAD THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION AND WHEELS CHECKED FOR ANY OTHER DAMAGE. MY WIFE AND I HAVE 3 KIDS IN WHICH WE DRIVE IN THIS VEHICLE AND IT HAS CONSIDERABLY SH

SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR IN MAY 1999, I HAVE HAD NO WORKING DASH LIGHTS IN THE CAR STARTING AT 22,000 MILES. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO FORD OVER 7 TIMES WITH NO FIX, JUST A BULB REPLACEMENT AFTER THE 50K WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS, THIS PROBLEM MAKES THE CAR VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH NO SPEED OR FUEL INDICATORS. THE CHANCE OF ACCIDENT OR DEATH DUE TO UNSAFE SPEED OR RUNNING OUT OF GAS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. I SPENT $46,000 FOR THIS CAR AND IT HAS BEEN THE WORSE EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE.

GRINDING NOISE UNDERNEATH VEHICLE'S FRONT END WHILE APPLICATION OF POWER IN ACCELERATION OR DURING CLIMB ON A HILL. BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP AND TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH MECHANIC AND HE COULD NOT HEAR A SOUND IN THE VEHICLE. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE SAME MECHANIC ON ANOTHER TEST DRIVE ON A HILL WHERE THE SOUND COULD BE HEARD. HE FOUND THAT THE NOISE WAS INCONCLUSIVE TO ANY MANUFACTURE RECALLS AND COULD NOT IDENTIFY THERE WAS ANY PROBLEMS. THE NOISE IS STILL THERE AND HE STATES THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. I FEEL THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG AND DO NOT WANT MY FAMILY OR MY SELF TO BE INJURED BECAUSE OF SOMETHING UNIDENTIFIABLE. *PH

THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE BLEW OUT, WHICH CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO ABRUPTLY PULL OVER. *JB

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH THE RIGHT REAR TIRE TREAD SEPARATED. THE CAUSE WAS UNDETERMINED. *AK

AIR SUSPENSION COMPRESSOR FAILURE. I WAS DRIVING ALONG IN THE VEHICLE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE DROPPED & STARTED BOUNCING UP AND DOWN WHICH CAUSED ME TO SWERVE..LUCKILY THERE WASN'T ANYTHING IN MY PATH. WHEN I HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED I WAS TOLD THAT THIS PARTICULAR COMPONENT FAILS IN OVER 80% OF LINCOLN NAVIGATORS AND NOW THE DEALER IS SELLING AN "UPGRADED PART" BECAUSE THEY'RE AWARE THAT THE ONE INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLES WAS DEFECTIVE AND I'M WONDERING WHY A RECALL HASN'T BEEN DONE ALREADY. *AK

I OWN A 1999 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR (FORD ENGINE 5.4L DOHC) ONLY 52000 MILES. THE SPARK PLUG #4 BLOW OUT OF THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE SEEN MANY OF THE FORD EXPEDIGION AND LINCOLN NAVIGATOR OWNERS EXPERIENCE THIS SAME ISSUE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFAULT WITH THERE ENGINE FOR THESE MODELS AND THUS SHOULD BE RECALLED.*AK

REAR WIPER DOES NOT ALWAYS COME ON, ODOMETER LIGHTS GO OUT, DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON WHEN ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED, RADIO SOMETIMES WILL NOT TURN UP, INTERIOR CABIN LIGHTS COME ON, SEAT WARMERS DO NOT COME ON. ALL OF THIS HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY, WITH NO WARMING, RHTME OR REASON. UNABLE TO HAVE DIAGNOSED, BUT CONSTANTLY READ ENTRIES OF SAME PROBLEMS FROM OTHER OWNERS....CAN BE A SAFETY RISK WHEN I CANNOT CLEAR REAR WINDOW OF RAIN/MUD.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT BEING SWITCHED ON/OFF. THEY SEEM TO HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN. THE REAR WIPER DOES NOT COME ON AT ALL MOST TIMES, EVEN WHEN TURNED ON. ALSO, THE ODOMETER LCD READOUT COMES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. SEVERAL LIGHT ON THE DASH CONTROLS PANELS COME ON AND OFF AT WILL AS WELL. IT JUST SEEMS THAT THERE IS SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE WIRING SYSTEMS OR POSSIBLY IN THE COMPUTER. HOWEVER, SINCE IT ONLY DOES IT INTERMITTANTLY YOU CANNOT PLAN TO CHECK IT WITH THE DEALER, BECAUSE THERE IS NO TELLING WHEN IT WILL OCCUR AND HOW LONG IT WILL LAST.*AK

AIR SUSPENSION COMPRESSOR FAILURE @ 40,000 MILES.*AK

THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE ELECTRO SPARK PLUGS WENT INSIDE THE ENGINE. THE DEALER WAS N OTIFIED BUT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. *NLM

I HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TIRES ON MY NAVIGATOR, THEY ARE CONTINENTAL CONTITRAC AT'S THE SIZE IS P255-75R17 AND THE DOT NUMBER OFF THE TIRE FOR PRODUCTION TIME IS 129. ON SUNDAY APRIL 13 I WAS TRAVELING DOWN I-4 FROM TAMPA TO WINTER HAVEN FLORIDA AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHEN THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE RIGHT REAR TIRE HAD SEPARATED AND A LARGE PIECE OF THE TIRE HAD COME OFF. I PUT ON THE SPARE AND DROVE HOME, CONTINENTAL TOLD ME TO GO TO TIRE KINGDOM WHICH WOULD NOT HELP ME. I JUST ASK THAT WE HAVE SAFE TIRES ON OUR VEHICLES AND THIS TIRE COMPANY SEEMS TO DO EVERYTHING BUT TAKE THE BLAME FOR THE PROBLEM.*JB

THE RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE TIRE TO 2 DIFFERENT PLACES AND THE FIRST MECHANIC STATED THE BLOW OUT WAS CAUSED BY A ROAD HAZARD, AND THE SECOND MECHANIC STATED HE WAS UNABLE TO TELL, BUT MAYBE DUE TO AN ALIGNMENT PROBLEM.*JB

UPON ACCELERATING VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT THROUGH THE GEARS. WHEN GETTING SET TO SHIFT INTO OVERDRIVE THE TRANSMISSION MADE A GRINDING SOUND. FELT LIKE HIGHWAY RIGHT OF WAY REMINDERS TO WAKE UP THE OCCUPANTS. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE AND I HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED 4 TIMES AND THE DEALER COULDN'T EXPLAIN. TRANNY FLUSH CURED THE PROBLEM. THIS WAS AT 25,000MILES. IT IS BACK AGAIN AT 55,000 MILES. IT FEELS UNSAFE. IF THIS LOCKS UP AT 55MPH MY FAMILY IS IN DANGER!

MY DAUGHTER AND I BOTH OWN 1999 NAVIGATORS. I HAVE HAD ONE TIRE SPLIT AND SHE HAS ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE TWO AND NOW THE THIRD TIRE IS DEFECTIVE. WE BELIEVE THE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. THE TREAD HAS SPLIT ON ALL THESE TIRES. DT

I WAS DRIVING UP TO A RED LIGHT AND WAS STOPPING AND APPLIED EVEN BRAKE PRESSURE. THE VEHICLE SLOWED BUT DID NOT COME TO A STOP. I HAD PLENTY OF STOPPING ROOM AND THE VEHICLE JUST SLOWLY DROVE RIGHT INTO THE STOPPED VEHICLES. I KNOW HOW TO USE ABS BRAKES AND JUST PRESSED HARDER AND HARDER BUT THJE CAR DID NOT STOP.*AK

WHILE DRIVING, THE TREAD OF THE LEFT REAR TIRE SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE, THE CONSUMER IS REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT PER THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM (CONTINENTAL CONTITRAC AS, P245/75R16, DOT #AD70449387). NLM

ON JUNE 20, 2001 I TURNED ON MY LINCOLN NAVIGATOR AND THE ENTIRE CAR BEGAN SHAKING OUT OF CONTROL AND I HEARD A VERY LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. I CALLED FORD AND INFORMED THEM OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY ASKED ME TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. I TOLD FORD THAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS SHAKING OUT OF CONTROL. I THEN ARRANGED A FLAT BED TO PICK UP THE CAR THE NEXT MORNING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO COURTESY FORD IN THE BRONX, NEW YORK. I TOLD THE SERVICE PERSONNEL OF THE THREE PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING WITH THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE, THE DRIVER SIDE POWERED WINDOW WAS NOT FUNCTIONING AND THE WINSHIELD WIPER RECALL NEEDED SERVICE. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE COORDINATOR THAT SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME THE NEXT DAY. NO OE CALLED AND I WAS FORCED TO CONSISTENTLY CALL THE DEALER ALL DAY TO GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE. I FINALLY SPOKE TO THE ASST. SERVICE MANAGER(DAVE) AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE HAD FAILED AND FORD INSTRUCTED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE WITH A BRAND NEW ONE. I ASKED HIM WHAT EXACTLY HAD GONE WRONG WITH THE ENGINE AND HE TOLD ME THAT "THINGS LIKE THIS HAPPEN ALL THE TIMES, AND THE ONLY WAY TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM WAS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE" I ASKED HIM AGAIN WHAT HAPPEN TO THE ENGINE AND HE RESPONDED MY TELLING ME THAT A SPARK PLUG FELL INTO THE ENGINE, AND THE ENGINE FAILED. THIRTY FOUR DAYS LATER I WAS ASKED TO PICK UP THE CAR. I DID NOT RECEIVE AND PAPERWORK, THE WINSHIELD WIPER RECALL SERVICE WAS NEVER D

WHILE DRIVING COULD HEAR NOISE COMING FROM DRIVER SIDE FLOOR LIKE A TRAIN. CONSUMER HAD TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER MORE THAN FOUR TIMES. *AK THE DEALER HAD NOT FIXED THE VEHICLE PROPERLY, AND THE GRINDING NOISE STILL EXISTS. THE CONSUMER FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. *YH

AFTER RECALL REPAIR THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE INOPERABLE WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO TURN THEM ON DURING RAINY WEATHER RESULTING IN POOR VISIBILITY. NLM

VEHICLE WAS AT DEALER TO HAVE TIRES ROTATED & STEERING ALIGNED. CONSUMER PICKED VEHICLE UP & WAS TRAVELING HOME AT 50MPH AND BRAKES WENT OUT. VEHICLE COULDN'T BE SLOWED DOWN. UPON ENTERING CONSUMER'S COMPLEX VEHICLE WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP & HIT BRICK WALL, TO STOP IT. DEALER FOUND THAT SPEED CONTROL CABLE WAS CUT. LINCOLN DEALER HASN'T CONTACTED. CONSUMER BACK ON THE PROBLEM.*AK

I HAD TREAD SEPARATE ON A SECOND TIRE ON MY VEHICLE (THE FIRST TIRE TREAD SEPERATED ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO). THIS HAPPENED WHILE ON A FREEWAY TRAVELING AT 65-70 MILES PER HOUR. A CHUNK OF TREAD ABOUT 12 -16 INCHES LONG RIPPED COMPLETELY OFF OF THE TIRE. I THEN HAD TO CHANGE THE TIRE ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY WITH CARS AND TRUCK PASSING ME AT 70 MILES PER HOUR. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY SCARY SITUATION. THE PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE WAS ALSO EXTREMELY DISTRESSED.*AK (DOT NUMBER: AD70 449 0 TIRESIZE: P245/75R16)

VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT ANY WARNING, USUALLY WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN.*AK

I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE TIRES WOULD LAST AT LEAST 60 THOUSAND MILES, WITH REASONABLE CARE, HOWEVER WE WERE WRONG.
