#730 of 782 Re: I have a crack in my rear gate. [ajmtbm] by akirby Dec 02, 2008 (9:54 am)
Replying to: ajmtbm (Dec 02, 2008 9:31 am) This is totally up to the dealer - Ford has no say in whether the dealer will perform the work or not. If it's out of warranty it's possible Ford or the dealer will cover it, or they'll at least do an AWA (after warranty adjustment) where they'll cover part of it. But if it's out of warranty and the dealer doesn't want to help, you're SOL unless you can find another dealer that will.
#731 of 782 What part of the seats heat? by BCDragonfli Dec 03, 2008 (7:17 pm)
We just purchased a 2005 Aviator, and both our seats heat a bit on the back, and only on the very front of the seat. Do these seats not heat under your butt. The dealer said they are working normally, but it doesn't seem right to me. Thanks Replies to this message: theresadewitt (Dec 04, 2008 5:18 am) akirby (Dec 04, 2008 5:48 am)

#734 of 782 Help - Sunroof leak by axt Mar 21, 2009 (10:12 am)
I have a leak in my sunroof. It appears the drain hole in the sunroof drains into the car instead of draining down and out... Does anyone know how to get to the tube that drains ot to the outside?

#736 of 782 Problem with Lincoln Aviator Gear Shifter by jtafoho Mar 31, 2009 (1:41 pm)
I live in Toronto and I have a 2003 Lincoln Aviator. Recently I was having intermittent problems with the gear shifter knob getting stuck. I mean the piece of metal at the top of the shifter that you press to release and move the stick. I push the brakes as hard as I can but the gear shifter knob would not get released. My misfortune did not end there. Last time I pressed the knob harder to release and move the stick. By pressing harder it did BREAK. I took it to the dealer and was told that the cost to repair it will be about 1200 Canadian $ as the entire "shifter assembly" had to be ordered from Ford and my warranty has expired.   The moving piece inside the gear shifter that is actioned by the knob is in PLASTIC, not in iron like in other cars and can easily break. That is what happened when I pressed harder. I don't know if Ford really tested that ugly technology. Definitely this is not the level of quality expected in a $45000 "luxury" utility vehicle. Just 5 months ago I had to pay 4500 Canadian $ to replace the cylinder head in the engine. I am so disappointed with that other Ford lemon.

Replying to: jtafoho (Mar 31, 2009 1:41 pm) Hi,This is Warren.Another Warren had the same problem and actually repaired it himself.I am not that bold.If you search the following messeges,you will find some helpful info.658,654,655,and 657.I have been pretty lucky so far.No major engine issues other than having to replace four coils .I have the extended warranty but I have $100 deductables,so it adds up fast.I just hope all issues show themselves before the warranty expires.Good luck.
#738 of 782 differential repair by abtrman Mar 31, 2009 (8:35 pm)
I finally took in the girl and she was diagnosed with a problem that was caused by paint that was used to mark individual pieces flaking off and thus turning the fluid into a milky froth.I was suspicious but I did not push too far bacause at least it was being corrected.However I am noticing that same roar at about thirty miles per hour.Today I was having two more coils replaced and had them check the diff.They blamed the noise on rear tires in need of replacement.Again I am suspicious.I do need rear tires, so I am going to replace all four.I bet the problem will remain,but you almost have to eliminate other possible causes so they will take you seriously.

Replying to: jtafoho (Mar 31, 2009 1:41 pm) I had to replace a cylinder head in my 2003 Aviator 6 months ago. I put up a big stink, wrote a letter, took some clips from this site on similiar problems and they knocked the price down to $1700. I also had to replace the entire shift assembly but it was $350US. Essentially, the entire assembly came appart while I was driving. I had to use needle nose plyers to put the car in park. I drove it like that for about a week.
