2004 Lincoln Navigator Engine cooling Problems

“For the past 6-8 months my vehicle has sporadically stalled/stopped for no apparent reason. When it stops like this it can occur on the highway or surface streets without notice. I have taken it to the Lincoln dealer two times with the last time being told it was a transmission problem, which I was skeptical, because of no previous problems. I have requested assistance from ford motor who essentially dismissed without any liability due to the car being out of warranty. I am requesting your assistance before there is any injury, accident or fatality. I have the e-mail correspondence with ford.”

“In nov 05 the car started to shut off momentarily as you started to drive, it would do it only when you would take off from a stop and never at freeway speeds. This would occur 50% of the time. The dealer had it on 11-7 and replaced the cam position sensor. When I picked it up on 11-8 it was worse than before. I returned it on 11-9 they returned it on 11-19 after replacing one of the coils. This helped but didn't solve the problem, still had the hesitation leaving a stop but only happened 2-3 times in the 1st week. …”

“The number three spark plug on the passenger side of my 2004 Lincoln Navigator blew out. The car has 72000 mile on it and is excellent condition. This is defect, there should be more threads holding the spark plug in pace, this car uses aluminum cylinder heads, the manufactures design did not put enough threads in place for aluminum to hold the plug over the usable life of the car and engine.”

“Noticed the air compressor ran all of the time for the air ride system. The car was still in warranty took it to ford and they said they had fixed the problem. 800 miles out of warranty the ride side air shock went bad and burned out the compressor. Looked up old paper work and come to find out that they has put on a noise reduction kit on the compressor. So we could no longer hear it run. Contact the dealership as well as customer service at Lincoln. They told us sorry about your luck it is out of warranty. …”

“First week in december took 2004 Navigator with 29,000 miles to dealership after hearing a very clunking sound. I was told it needed a catalytic converter. Dealership stated that it would take 2 weeks for part. I called Lincoln to state my complain as to why it was going take so long and was told the warehouse that stored them burnt down. Too make a very trying story short it will be 2 months until I get my Navigator repaired. The dealership told me that they were told by Lincoln that the part has to be made and then tested before they ship it to the dealership. …”
