Replying to: nvbanker (Sep 16, 2006 6:27 pm) Maybe some of that Lexus Mojo will find its way to Lincoln Products. I'm a fan of the Navigator and I want it to succeed, but with this new design I find myself hoping it tanks so that they'd redesign it in a hurry. Who knows, maybe people will love the changes? I assume Lincoln spent LOTS of money on consumer testing before they made these changes. Maybe when I see this beast up close and personal at the car show next month I'll change my tune.

I have a 05 navigator that i bought a few months ago and it has been vibrating quite a bit at idle and has recently started hesitating. my dealer claims that there isn't a problem because nothing shows up on the computer. how do i go about getting lincoln (ford) to own up and fix it? i've already tried the customer relations center and that was a dead end. frank

I know the Expeditions had a similar problem with the coil packs - I think it was a leaky hose that damaged it. It's worth checking. You have to find a dealer willing to fix it. You can use any dealer for warranty work, so try a different one. Explain the situation to the service manager. I'm sure you can find a dealer willing to fix it. |

I second akirby's advice. Try another dealer. Take the service manager for a ride, or let him drive it. Get him to admit this isn't normal..... I had a similar experience on my new 03 Navigator. The A/C would blow cold, then hot intermittantly. The dealer said, no codes, nothing wrong. So, I got the service manager to go for a ride. In less than a mile, he admitted, this is just not acceptable, and agreed to find out what was wrong. It was a bad expansion valve. No codes were thrown, but they fixed it. No future issues. Try another dealer. I know it's a pain, but you have to. |

...and boy was I WRONG!!! Pictures don't do this truck justice. The interior upgrades are so amazing they have to be SEEN and FELT in person in order to be appreciated. The new leather is so soft and supple -- a HUGE upgrade for my tastes. The new captains chairs feel better than my lounge chair at home! The new wood trim looks VERY classy. All the doors and trays open smoothly and with a luxurious touch. Even my biggest gripe about this redesign (the teenager-with-a-mouth-full-of-braces-look of the new front end) looks MUCH classier in person. I've just GOT to add this beast to my test drive list for next year. Overall, this truck was the one vehicle that surprised me the most at the Miami Beach car show. I guess the Ford designers DO know what they're doing after all!!!!!  Take a look at this car inside and out in person guys -- I think you will be very pleasantly surprised!

Meybe the quality of marterials is better than before, but the design of the interrior looks like Lincoln took a step BACK, not forward. The previous interrior was, IMO, the best Ive seen on any vehicle, in terms of design and layout. The only thing was the small nav sreen and a few missing features. This truck does look better than what they had at the show, it looks classier. Honestly though, I wish the ford team good luck trying to sell it.
