ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Fire inside of the motor, behind the engine computer. Upon researching recalls for Lincoln Navigators I found these other recalls online for possibly the same fire issue: "Ford has issued a recall for some of its 2021 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs due to a potential engine fire risk. Over 65,000 2021-year model vehicles manufactured between December 2020 and April 2021 have been affected." "We've discovered a vehicle safety issue in some 2021 model-year Lincoln Navigator® vehicles built from July 30, 2020 to August 31, 2021. Some of these vehicles have experienced an under-hood fire, even while parked and off."

ENGINE
AS I WAS MERGING ON FREEWAY, I EXPERIENCED SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN FATALITIES SINCE IT WAS AT RUSH HOUR. AS I PULLED OVER, THE ENGINE WAS BUCKING BUT REGAINED POWER WITH SPORADIC BOUTS OF LOSS DURING MY DRIVE HOME. THERE WAS A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER ONE AND I REPLACED AND TESTED ALL RELATED COMPONENTS AND THEN FOUND OUT IT WAS THE CAM PHASER ISSUE THAT PLAGUES THE TRITON ENGINE. FROM READING OTHER COMMENTS FROM BOTH CONSUMER AND REPAIR SHOP OWNERS, IT IS SIMPLY A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT FROM WHO ELSE, THE FORD CORP. OF COURSE THEY BLAME THE OWNER FOR LACK OF MAINTENANCE.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SUSPENSION
ENGINE STARTS TO KNOCK AN SHAKE VERY LOUDLY WHILE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP FROM SIMPLY DRIVING 45MPH OR IT COMPLETELY LLOSES ALL POWER AS I'M DRIVING AN A LOUD POPPIG EXPLOSIONS COMING FROM THE EXHUAST AN THEY ARE LOUD ENOUGH WERE PEOPLE HEHHAVE PULLED UP NEXT TO ME TO LET ME KNOW AN AFRAID THE CAR MAY BLOW UP. AIR SUSPENSION DOSE NOT COME ON WHEN IT'S COLD AN DRIVES VERY POORLY AN MISLEADING TO OTHER DRIVERS AN LAW ENFORCEMENT SINCE I'VE BEEN PULLED OVER FOR POSSIBLE DUI BECAUSE THE CAR IS ALL OVER THE PLACE AN JUMPY. THE RADIO CUTS IN AN OUT AS I DRIVE, THE CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK. I'VE TAKEN IT TO 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS THEY ALL SAY THE SAME THING TAKE IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE IT OUT. SO I TOOK IT TO GALPIN LINCOLN IN VAN NUYS, CA ON ROSCOE BLVD AN SEPULVEDA AN THEY JUST FOUND ONE FUEL INJECTOR NEEDING REPLACED AN WANTED ME TO $2,500 FOR LABOR ALONE TO COMPLETELY OPEN UP MY ENGINE AN SEE IF IT COULD POSSIBLY BE THE TIMING CHAIN AN REALINE THE CAMSHAFTS BUT THEY ARE NOT CERTAIN THAT'S ACTUALLY THE PROBLEM WITH MY NAVIGATOR BECAUSE THEY CAN COMPLETELY DO ALL THAT AN COME UP TO BE FINE AN BE SOMETHING ELSE BUT UNLESS I PAY $2,500 FOR LABOR TO JUST SEE IF IT IS AN HAVE THE CHANCE IT COULD NOT BE I STILL LOSE THOSE $2,500 BECAUSE IT'S A NON REFUNDABLE. WHERE AM I GOING TO COME UP WITH THAT KIND OF MONEY NOT ALONE WHY AM I HAVING TO PAY THAT FIRST TO SEE IF IT'S A MAYBE THE REASON OF ALL MY CAR PROBLEMS. HONESTLY THAT IS RIDICULOUS AN NOT GOING TO PAY THAT KIND OF MONEY ON A MAYBE ANSWER NOT A 100 PERCENT WE ARE SURE THAT'S THE PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO GIVE AN HEAVEN FORBID MY CAR DOES BLOW UP WITH MY SON'S IN THE CAR DRIVING IT JUST BECAUSE I NEEDED TO PAY THAT AMOUNT ON A MAYBE ANSWER IS UN CALLED FOR.

SUSPENSION
THE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM FAILS TO WORK WHEN COLD. ITS VERY BOUNCY AND HARD TO DRIVE SAFELY. I HAVE REPLACED THE HEIGHT SENSORS. I'VE SPENT OVER $5000 ON REPAIRS IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS. IT STILL ISN'T FIXED. I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE SAME SUSPENSION PROBLEMS. THIS IS A FAULTY DESIGN. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

STRUCTURE
OUR 05 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR WE JUST PURCHASED ABOUT 7-8 MONTHS AGO. THE RETRACTABLE RUNNING BOARDS BROKE ON THE DRIVER SIDE REAR IN THE SWIVELING BUSHING AREA. THE STRUCTURE CRACKED AND WOULD NOT HOLD IT UP. I GOT TOLD THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THIS AND ITS $3,000.00 FOR A NEW RUNNING BOARD. I AM SUPER UPSET, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY WIFE'S DAYCARE, AND WHILE ONE OF THE CHILDREN STEPPED UP ON IT, IT BROKE; THEREFORE THEY FELL ON THE GROUND TWISTING THEIR ANKLE. I CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEND $3K ON A NEW RUNNING BOARD. I THINK ITS INSANE THAT THERE IS NOT REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THIS. I CANT GET THE KIDS IN AND OUT ON THE DRIVER SIDE NOW. I AM SO UPSET. WHY HASN'T SOMEONE FIXED THIS. SOUNDS LIKE IT HAPPENS TO ALL OF THEM IN THIS YEAR RANGE. NO ONE CAN AFFORD TO FIX THEM. *TR
