There wasnt a recall on my airbags per my vin number however just yesterdaymy vehicle was totaled due to brake failure which upon impact only the passenger side airbag deployed while the driver side didnt. There was no passenger...

As i was merging on freeway, i experienced sudden loss of power and it could have resulted in fatalities since it was at rush hour. As i pulled over, the engine was bucking but regained power with sporadic bouts of loss during my drive home. There was a misfire on cylinder one and i replaced and tested all related components and then found out it was the cam phaser issue that plagues the triton engine. From reading other comments from both consumer and repair shop owners, it is simply a defective product from who else, the ford corp. Of course they blame the owner for lack of maintenance.

CrashNoY 2 InjuredNone20170720

While traveling 50 mph in the lincoln, another driver attempted to make an illegal left turn in front of the navigator resulting in immediate severe collision. The front impact destroyed the front end of the lincoln, and also caused it to spin 180 degress resulting in a second collision with the at fault driver. The driver airbag did not deploy and resulted in severe injury to the driver.

Air suspension does not work / inflate when car is cold, there sometimes no warning that the shocks are down and could make driving dangerous . Making car uncontrollable when the car will roll over bumps or uneven terrain please issue a recall for all navigators since 2003 or older with air suspesion shock does not inflate when stationary / does not inflate when in motion tire rubs on fender wall making turns, there is completely no shock absorption when car is on freeway or on surface which makes cehicles very unstable and could cause major accidents if driven by inexperienced or experienced drivers

2005 navigator has only 60,000 miles, spark plugs defected, dealer wants $1,500 to $2,500 to replace them, which is defect from manufacture. These spark plugs should be replaced due to defects from manufacture, and the recall only wants to pay $1,040 for the replacement of the spark plugs, why should i pay up front if they are manufacture fault and my navigator only has 60,00 miles now and i purchased it new from the dealer in 2005.

Engine starts to knock an shake very loudly while coming to a complete stop from simply driving 45mph or it completely lloses all power as i'm driving an a loud poppig explosions coming from the exhuast an they are loud enough were people hehhave pulled up next to me to let me know an afraid the car may blow up. Air suspension dose not come on when it's cold an drives very poorly an misleading to other drivers an law enforcement since i've been pulled over for possible dui because the car is all over the place an jumpy. The radio cuts in an out as i drive, the cruise control doesn't work. I've taken it to 3 different mechanics they all say the same thing take it to the dealer because they can't seem to figure it out. So i took it to galpin lincoln in van nuys, ca on roscoe blvd an sepulveda an they just found one fuel injector needing replaced an wanted me to $2,500 for labor alone to completely open up my engine an see if it could possibly be the timing chain an realine the camshafts but they are not certain that's actually the problem with my navigator because they can completely do all that an come up to be fine an be something else but unless i pay $2,500 for labor to just see if it is an have the chance it could not be i still lose those $2,500 because it's a non refundable. Where am i going to come up with that kind of money not alone why am i having to pay that first to see if it's a maybe the reason of all my car problems. Honestly that is ridiculous an not going to pay that kind of money on a maybe answer not a 100 percent we are sure that's the problem. Something needs to give an heaven forbid my car does blow up with my son's in the car driving it just because i needed to pay that amount on a maybe answer is un called for.

Our 05 lincoln navigator we just purchased about 7-8 months ago. The retractable running boards broke on the driver side rear in the swiveling bushing area. The structure cracked and would not hold it up. I got told there are no parts available for this and its $3,000.00 for a new running board. I am super upset, especially because i purchased this vehicle for my wife's daycare, and while one of the children stepped up on it, it broke; therefore they fell on the ground twisting their ankle. I can't afford to spend $3k on a new running board. I think its insane that there is not replacement parts for this. I cant get the kids in and out on the driver side now. I am so upset. Why hasn't someone fixed this. Sounds like it happens to all of them in this year range. No one can afford to fix them. *tr
