Replying to: bandon (Dec 01, 2007 7:39 am) Did you ask the dealer about an AWA (after warranty adjustment)?

#18 of 35 2008 transmission problem by bogusrap Jan 15, 2008 (5:31 am)
I have a 2008 Navigator with 3000 miles. I purchased it new. Last week I heard a clicking noise which was audible from an idle and was louder as the engine was reved up. I took it back to the dealer and was told that the torque converter had a problem. It was explained to me that the fluid piut in at the factory was the incorrect fluid. It was green and they claim it should have been red. The green fluid had eaten away at the seals and gaskets. A new converter along with new seals and gaskets were put on and the correct fluid was put in. I get it back today. My main questions I have are:   On a new vehicle:   Does anyone know when the fluid is put in the converter and transmission? Is it at the factory or the dealer?   If at the factory, is it at the end of the line? Or is it done at the transmission assembly plant prior to be assembled to the car?   Is the fluid supposed to be red or green? I understand from the dealer it is to be red and green is for CVT.   I asked all these questions to Ford Customer Service and can't get an answer other than to contact my dealer.   I just really want to know how the wrong fluid got in a brand new vehicle? Factory or Dealer? Anyone have any thoughts? Replies to this message: akirby (Jan 15, 2008 5:51 am)

Replying to: bogusrap (Jan 15, 2008 5:31 am) It's put in at the factory. I assume they assemble the engine and transmission together, then fill them both with oil (transmission fluid is just lightweight oil) and they're dropped into the vehicle on the assembly line.   I've never heard of red vs green tranny fluid, but that doesn't mean the dealer is wrong. Fluids do get mixed up from time to time due to incorrrect labeling or human error. As long as it's fixed and working now don't worry about it. You have a 7 yr/70K mile warranty.
#20 of 35 99 Navigator slipping into 4wd? by macy5 Mar 12, 2008 (6:05 am)
Hi All, I have no idea what the problem is? It feels as if the car is not completely switching completely back out of 4wd even though the switch is in the AWD position. At times it periodically sounds and feels as if it is engaging 4wd when set in AWD on dry clean roads. Most often I feel it at higher speeds of 55-65, but it happened yesterday pulling out from a stop. This is a new issue, I have owned the car several years and have not experienced it before now. TIA, Macy
#22 of 35 Slipping Transmission by addicott Apr 28, 2008 (8:22 am)
We have an 03 Navigator, it is now reving between gear changes & will eventually go in to gear at a higher rev. We notice this happens more, when we go up a hill after coming down an incline.  Many thanks Christian Replies to this message: akirby (Apr 28, 2008 8:56 am)

#24 of 35 2007 Navigator, Transmission Bucking and Wrench Light by luisrmr1 May 06, 2008 (7:23 am)
I own a 2007 Navigator, for some time now it has been bucking at stop lights, sometimes i press the brakes and when im coming to a complete stop the car jumps forward, sometimes the car doesn't have power when I press the accelerator .. it takes alot longer than usual to achieve for example 50 Mph.. and well recently on a trip to the northern states all of a sudden the wrench light comes on and it didn't let me drive past 40 so i pulled over turned off the vehicle, turned it back on and everything was back to normal to my surprise, i called a tow truck any ways and they took it to a dealer a did a " Reset " . They gave me the car back .. I drove back down to Florida and well it kept doing the same thing so i took it to the dealer for the second time .. they did another " Reset " is all they would tell me .. of the transmission's computer .. Now I took it a third time and they claim that the computer states that the vehicle was run at maximum speed, ( Which it has never been ) and that was the reason for ALL of the problems . Does this make sense to anyone ? Do you believe that that can be the reason ? I have never run the car at its maximum speed which i really have no idea how much it might be. But even if i would have that can not possibly be the reason for all of these failures and bucking. Someone please help or give me an opinion .
#25 of 35 Navigator Towing question by towinginpa May 16, 2008 (3:57 pm)
I am looking at a used 2005 Navigator. It only has the 4-pin trailer connector. I need the full 8300 lb tow rating that comes with the heavy duty towing package. The dealer tells me that all of the Navigators have the larger radiator and that he can add on the appropriate Class IV connector, etc and that it will then be able to pull the full rating of the engine. Apparently (from the postings I found) there is only one gear-ratio set on the 6 speed transmission that is on the truck. Is the salesman feeding me a bunch of baloney or can they make minor adjustments to the vehicle to give it the heavy duty towing package? I'm suspicious that the only difference between standard towing capacity and heavy duty on the Navigator is just the connector and brake controller connector.
