Emergency escape issue like many modern cars the Aviator was designed with electric opening doors. Of the four doors, only the front driver side door has a manual override in case of emergency. That means if a major accident was to occur on that one door and disable the vehicle the other 3 doors do not have a way to exit. Why would the NHTSA allow a vehicle on a road that at a minimum doesn't have a override for left side and right side or more than one door?.

Brakes failed, car crashed, imminent crash warning system did not come on and air bags did not deploy in direct frontal crash.

On 6/9/22 I ran off the road and down a ravine. I hit a large tree head on and hit some smaller trees on the right side of the vehicle. After the head on collision with the large tree, it broke the frame in two places. The car had severe damage on the front and right side as you will notice in the pictures I am sending. No airbags deployed during this collision. I was shocked that none of them deployed after such a hard impact with the front of the car and the right side. The local police and fire department that arrived on the scene were very concerned that the air bags didn’t deploy. The towing company and body shop owner was also very concerned that the airbags didn’t deploy after he examined the car after the accident. I just want everyone to be aware of this safety feature that failed me after I paid $70k for a car with five star safety ratings.

Hit a guardrail on the parkway and only the passenger airbag deployed.

I was leaving my residence on a neighborhood street, when I heard a loud noise which sound like a gunshot. Upon recovering from the initial shock, I observed the side window/curtain air bags had deployed. The vehicle hadn't been hit or involved in an accident. I had to stop the vehicle to calm my son and we returned to the house.

The contact owns a 2004 Lincoln Aviator. While driving at any speed, the driver heard a loud roaring noise coming from the rear end of the vehicle. He took the vehicle to the dealer and they rebuilt the rear end pinion and bearings, which only remedied the failure for ten months. When the failure recurred, the contact took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced the wheel bearings. Six months later, the noise recurred and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The mechanic test drove the vehicle, but did not hear the sound; therefore, the dealer stated that there were no failures. The contact believes that his vehicle should not experience the same defect several times. He stated that the failure appeared to be due to a manufacturer defect and that a recall should be issued. The failure mileage was 11,270 and current mileage was 27,475. The clockspring was replaced. Updated 10/23/09 updated 01/28/10.
