YEAH SELL IT! I have an 2001 with 78,000 miles. I guess I have a Lemon also. been through TWO trannys,one at around 30,000 miles and the next around 55,000 miles. first tranny done at Lincoln and was lied to that it would be covered for another 3years/36,000 miles well when second went they refused but I guess thats why that Lincoln dealer is closed down. This vehicle is driven 95% by my wife and not rough either. Also been through computers(GEM Modular), Air shocks a few times and relays, coils,alternators,fogs lights,running board,wiper switch,fuses, radio, shifter, alignments,stabilizer links and other front end parts,rotors,air compressor,leaky wiper hose on passeneger door that dealer taped to fix and bleed all over my light gray carpet.etc,etc. terrible non existence support from Ford.
I also had smells like a moldy smell. Fix for me several times was to spray Lysol in air ducts near hood wipers area. There is a TSB on Flakes from the vents not sure if yours is related.
ITS A DRIVEWAY LAWN ORNAMENT, IT SPENDS MORE DOWN TIME BROKEN THEN ON THE ROAD.But I guess I shouldn't expect so much for one of Fords top of the line most expensive vehicle at $55,000(sarcastic)?
THIS IS THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED IN 27 YEARS.
I WILL NEVER BUY A FORD/LINCOLN AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
good luck you'll need it with Found On Road Dead(FORD),Fixed Or Repaired Daily(FORD).I will be looking to sell my POS ASAP
Anyway your fix is most likely a air compressor relay located on my 2001 under the front right side(passenger side)front bumper near horn. Parts about $50-95. My mechanic said it was the compressor also(i guess so they can rip you off on the part price and labor, after research online at other sites I found it was relay.Good luck
As far as the seller,file complaints with Department of Motor vehicles, State Attorney Generals office, Consumer affairs,Better Business Bureau, Federal trade Commission,etc. Most entitys have lazy useless emptysuits employees(especially the official ones) but maybe you'll get lucky and find one who can look in the mirror and say they earned a days pay, and help you
WIPERS STAY ON, turned them to the longest delay setting. All functions of wiper work but when control is off they still stay on,anyone know why? If I line up control between off position and longest delay position(but have to hold at that position) it will stay off"
After the Ford Dealers trail and error who first replaced the wiper switch and then I told them from what I read on other sites it was the switch.
The fix to my above problem was the wiper switch(stork on steering column) hope this helps someone.
I WILL NEVER BUY A FORD AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Check your tire condition and provide more information if that is not the problem?
Thanks
thanks

thanx for the infor.
battery hurts gas mileage as the charging system works over time and will wear out the stater as it will get hot as it does not have proper voltage. A click when you turn the key is a sign of low voltage and I now wonder if your starter was indeed bad?
Thanks for the help.

Let me know. It sucks to take your care to the dealer because after that you have to fix your wallet.
I am interested in purchasing a 2007 Navigator. A dealership has presented me with and outwardly appealing vehicle. However, when I reviewed the CARFAX report it only reflected maintenance for JUN09 (26 months after purchase). There was no mileage on the report. The vehicle now has 28K miles. So I am lead to assume that it likely had 20K + before it even saw a garage. A recall for door handles doesn’t seem to have been addressed. This was a leased vehicle so I tend to believe that the person figured it would not be his problem so why invest the money. The dealership - which is not fly by night, says that they are performing their 154 point inspection to resell as a "certified pre-owned" vehicle. It is my understanding that the owner was a professional Male in his early 40s living in the state of PA.
I have 3 questions:
1. Is it likely that it went 26 months before service?
2. How harmful to the engine will that be?
3. Will the Dealership be able to certify this vehicle without verification that the scheduled maintenance had been performed?
Actually, I have 4 questions, Should I RUN away from this vehicle?
Thank you
no accident and get my cars service local. Have you checked the glove box for any
records, or best yet find the prior owner and talk with him if any doubts.
My wife drives a 2002 Navi and is having the same issue (heat not working in the front but working in the back). I do feel some heat coming from the front althrough not much. There is no evidence of a coolant leak although I do need a flush and fill.
Anyone have an idea of the cost to check/replace the switch mentioned above?
Thanks

2. The heater in the rear works OK. It takes the truck a long time to get warm and seems to get better as we drive. But the heater in the front comes on, but only cold air comes out. NO HOT OR EVEN WARM AIR. We have been told it would cost about $600 to remove the dash and check a door that switches the air from cold to hot (or something like that) We don't have an additional $600 to fix, so we decided to just use the back heater.
My questions are:
1. Does it sound like the compressor is going bad and if so, can we replace ourselves?
2. Can we replace the dash ourselves. I am willing, I am more mechanically inclined than my husband. He'd rather wait til we get the money and and pay someone else to do it. HELP!
dust and dirt after a few years it starts sticking and makes the compressor not come on and lift. I have a shop and have had a number of these problems.

Wheels balanced on road load simulator, drive shaft re-indexed.
Vibration still the same. Has been with us since new vehicle delivered.
or loose lug nuts.
I have people put on after market wheels with the wrong off set and low profile tires making for this shaking problem and after time they must replace tie rod ends and get correct tires and wheels.
Let me know what and when you find your problem!
No longer will your ride sit fat on 22’s and catch that look you paid for when buying the Navi noooooo, now you get to look like a “ratard”.
I purchased the coil over struts to replace my failing air ride system, and NOWHERE on STRUTMASTERS website OR accompanying instructions is it mentioned that your ride will ride SOOOOO high. (Gee, I wonder why? Perhaps because if potential purchasers knew this, we would consider something else? Or make us sign a waiver that the ride height would be forever altered?)
When the vehicle was at the Lincoln dealer for service after installation of the STRUTMASTER product, the service manager approached me as I was paying my bill and asked if I wanted them to investigate why the vehicle height was so askew.
(What does THAT tell you.)
Anyway, the final answer from the company salesperson who sold them to me after months of asking for a refund or re-engineered product? He assured me that I was the ONLY person complaining as they had installed hundreds of systems on many navigators for numerous Lincoln dealers and yet would not provide any contact information so I could inquire as to the satisfaction or measurements of such installs. “I wish you well.” I wish you well? That’s it?
Bottom line? Buy STRUTMASTER products AT YOUR OWN RISK.
If you want to see before and afters, drop me an email. louiefrias@cox.net
was wondering if anyone knows how to disconnect and reconnect the air line
going into the shock ? I have turned off the air suspension switch.
Thank you .
