| Took my 03' Aviator in yesterday for an AutoTrac issue. The AutoTrac registered 4 times on dry pavement during my first 2 month use. Its probably a sensor issue. Will let you know what they did to resolve it. Other then that, no problems with the Truck.... | |
| Well, the dealer had it for one day and told me that it was an intermittent issue that couldn't be fixed now. They test drove it (36 miles, no refuel) and couldn't find anything wrong with it. They checked the computer to see if it registered anything...that was a no go also. I told the guy, "well its gonna happen again, and you won't be in the truck to see it...what then?" He told me to bring it in asap after it happens. He said that may help the issue because the computer might hold time released data on the problem. So all in all it was uneventfull. | |
I was wondering if anyone has above average wind noise over 55 MPH. The noise seams to be coming from the passanger side door areas. I also have a 2002 Explorer which does not display this tendency. Other than this, I have had no problems and love this vehicle.

| My Navigator has done the same thing twice in 11,000 miles. Once you restart the truck, the fault goes away, and it performs normally. I haven't taken it in as it would need to do it more often to annoy me. So I don't have an answer, other than to tell you you're not alone! If a restart resets it, and it's infrequent, I don't worry. | |
The one problem that is most common with the Aviator is the howling that seems to be coming from the rear differential intermittantly in many Aviators. No TSB yet to my knowledge, and the dealers just scratch their heads, say they are aware of the complaint, but have no solution yet.

Hi all... I just dropped my 2003 Avi off at the dealer to fix 2 problems. My first problem was that the seat track was not holding the seat in place well enough so that when I pressed the accelerator (great pickup) I could feel the subtle shift back. My second problem was a wierd sound like something wasn't tightened down in the drivers side dash, I think on the left side of the steering wheel. I will post when I hopefully get the car back on Monday. BTW, if you want to really appreciate your Avi, drop it off for service and leave in a Mercury Sable. I hate my rental. I want my car back.

Has anyone experienced the substantial ROAR that the engine lets out when starting and the engine is cold. How long the roar continues upon acceleration after starting seems to vary, but the very noticeable roar from the engine is very annoying. Lately, it seems to last for at least 15 to 20 minutes after initial cold startup. After the noise settles down, it doesn't return for the day typically. Brianhd1000  comcast.net

I need some help here as the dealer doesn't have a fix and the factory has been no help... My brand new Aviator blows cold air (a 40-50 degree measured difference)out of the side window de-misters and out the defroster after the interior temperature reaches the set temperature and stabilizes. This is a major problem as the cold temps in MN mean that I have frozen hands and left knee while my feet are smoking hot. So here is my question for all of you...when you start your Aviator on a cold morning, and the system is set to AUTO, do you have hot air coming out the defroster vent as well as the floor vents? Hot air ONLY blows out of the floor vents on mine in AUTO mode. There is no air, hot or cold coming from my defroster vent after the heater kicks in when in the AUTO mode. If I set the mode to defrost, I get hot air, but only until the temp gets close to the set temp, then is goes to pure cold again. Any thoughts? The dealer has called in a factory field engineer to try to diagnose. Thanks for any help/ideas! |

| I had a range rover that did that. Robbed a lot of power as well. It turned out to be a bad viscous coupler on the engine fan that would not disengage until the engine had warmed up. My Aviator does not seem to do that here in MN | |
