I am reading all the horror stories on the "Check Engine Light". I have 42,000 miles on a 03, that I bought "Pre Owned" from a Lincoln Dealer and got the premium care warranty included until May of 09. But I will be honest, I am afraid to keep this Lincoln ONE MINUTE out of warranty. I was planning on not buying a warranty as I brought it there for the 1. Lift gate (Not Covered) 2. Sun Roof (not covered) 3. Electronic Door Switch (Not covered) My dealer ALWAYS has some excuse why it isn’t covered, so unless it needed an Engine, I didn’t plan on going back to a Ford dealer period. BUT NOW IT JUST MIGHT NEED AN ENGINE!!! Does anyone know the percentage of Aviators this effected? Also, for the future, does the "PowertrainCare" warranty cover this, if I do decide to keep this SUV. My fear is some stipulation in the contract that this isn’t covered, the same way so many little things (sunroof and liftgate) are not covered now, in a full premium warranty. Thanks in advance

Replying to: namesean (Oct 27, 2008 2:51 pm) The powertrain warranty should definitely cover a head replacement. No way they can get out of that one unless they're claiming it's due to improper maintenance and even then that's a stretch. I don't think this affects a high percentage of Aviators - just a lot more than it should. We actually had ours replaced during the factory warranty and we kept it for about 8 months after the warranty expired, but I was a little nervous. Never had the liftgate problem but did have numerous other small problems. Good riddance. Got a new Edge and it's been perfect. |

My 04 Aviator is approaching 90k miles and has been a great car. Within the past few weeks, with the climate control "OFF", I am getting heat inside the car. I cannot feel any air coming out of the vents, but the interior is definitely warming up...sometimes to the point where I have to turn on the A/C. The normal heat and A/C are working OK.

Replying to: akirby (Nov 05, 2008 10:34 am) Interior of the car still warmed up. Had to turn on the A/C. The rear heat thing was a great idea...thanks. Seems to be something else.

Replying to: akirby (Nov 06, 2008 12:35 pm) She's a master mechanic...yeah..right! Anyhow, I took the car out the other day. It was in the low 50's outside. Drove the car for 20 to 30 minutes. With front and back systems off, the interior did NOT heat up. It probably was the rear heat that was on. Anyhow, problem solved. Thanks very much for your interest and assistance.
