Front Suspension Wheel Bearing Problems of Lincoln Aviator

I purchased my truck used in December 2011 and it has been nothing but constant problems. First, the door locks would randomly engage/disengage on their own. Or if button pushed nothing at all would happen. While the heater works, it emits a death rattle before blowing air. My ac doesn't work at all and was told that I would need to replace the compressor. The most dangerous and expensive repair has been replacing the front differential mounting and wheel baring. I was told that it was only mounted on one side and was leaking and this was a common problem with this model car. The mechanic was actually able to shake my wheels with his bare hands. The front end stuff actually dropped from under the vehicle as I as driving. Luckily I was able to safely pull over and had to be towed on a flat bed because the front end was so damaged. Repair costs $1400. And I was advised that it would probably happen again! prior to this I also had to replace the wheel bearing and ball joints. Ford does not stand by their product!.

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.
