Steering Problems of Lincoln Aviator

The contact owns a 2020 Lincoln Aviator. The contact stated while pulling out of a driveway at 5 mph, the vehicle lost power steering functionality, the tires locked up, and the vehicle veered to the right into rocks and bushes, causing damages to the front passenger's side axle. The message "steering assist fault" was displayed. The contact stated that the forward collision avoidance and other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the residence, where a mobile independent mechanic replaced the front passenger's side axle. Additionally, the mechanic informed the contact that the battery had experienced an electrical shortage, and the battery was replaced. The vehicle was then towed to dealer, where it was diagnosed that the steering harness and knuckle had failed. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline for the VIN to be added in Ford campaign number: 20s69. The failure mileage was approximately 96,000.

Hello. My name is christopher smith and I have a potentially serious issue with my car and Lincoln refuses to look into it. The short story : when you press the brakes moderately or harder( as if stopping for a yellow light ) it sounds like you’ve run over a brick or hit a big pothole. It has been in 6 times and to 3 dealerships and they all say it is normal for Aviators and explorers. I have owned an auto repair shop for 12 years and my guys fix 2000 cars per year. I am an ase master certified mechanic and I can assure anyone that there is nothing normal about this bang. They tell me they drive a like vehicle and if it also makes noise, there is nothing they can do. I have reached out to Lincoln concierge multiple times and they tell me they will do nothing if a like vehicle also does it. I think of the 2019 pacifica that the lower ball joint pinch bolts comes out and folds the wheel under the vehicle. I have had 3 service managers drive the car and they have all told me that it sounds really bad and abnormal. I have been told by all of those managers that Lincoln enforces not doing any further diagnostics or repairs if they all do it. I did drive a 2023 Aviator with a service advisor and it did not make the same noise mine does. You can actually feel the noise in the steering wheel. I have pleaded with them to investigate the issue and at least let me speak with a supervisor about it but they refuse. I have asked the dealers to put a set of chassis ears on the suspension to pinpoint the sound and they say Lincoln will not let them. The vehicle has 33k on it and is still under full factory and extended cpo warranty. Can you guys look into this issue before someone gets hurt ? thanks for reading.

Awd, adaptive cruise control, infotrac, and collisiom assistance lights continue going off while on freeways. Have brought in several times in less than a year and I can’t imagine that the abs module is the issue as they reinstalled and it didn’t work along with replacement of numerous sensors. Please look into this.

4/19/22 staten island NY. As I was getting off of the hylan blvd exit from the si expressway traveling toward NJ, I made a left turn. While the wheel was turned the power steering failed, locking up the steering wheel. These alerts came on the dashboard: hill start assist warning, service steering, pre-collision assist not available. The car was towed to dana Ford and the technician says that a high voltage fuse burned out. They also stated that they wanted to find the cause for the fuse to burn out before replacing it. This was two weeks ago.

This was the most recent issue I experienced with my Aviator, the first being electrical after 2 months of owning it. I was driving and the car completely shut off (engine, power steering, breaking) the electrical components went crazy, but I thankfully was not on a highway as I had to guide the truck until it stopped from moving 25mph+. I went into oncoming traffic but no one was there. Then I had to turn the truck back on. The dealership towed it as it is a safety issue and with the amount of times it has been in the shop, the problems increasing are worrisome.

Driver control malfunction warning light sign comes on. I've taking it to the dealer twice but they could not fix the problem. What do I do.

I had just gotten onto the highway,at about 40 mph the rear wheels started to skip and jerk also there was a loud cluck from under the front. . . . The mechanic found the transfer case was damaged due to cheap Ford parts. . . . .

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!.

My power steering goes out, at start up the power steering is not working, can cut the car off and back on and it is ok been to the shop 3 times changed hose, modular, and steering gear, and today it happened again, also there is a crack down the middle of my back hatch under the glass, I have read 4 other peoples complaints that said the same thing in the same place.

The back hatch panel cracked was fixed , the steering not right some times its hard to steer. Main problem is cylinder coils going bad alot. Now #8 coil went bad and has been replaced 2times, and its still in the shop they cant find out why it keeps coming up #8 still misfiring . . They think its the head now. I understand Lincoln has had so many problems with this that they have allowed a 10yr. Extended warranty on all the coils. Is this right ? I want Lincoln to do something. I am so mad right now . I will never buy another Lincoln. Help me.

Vehicle steering shudders/shake while making left turn. Has taken vehicle back twice and the dealer can't find the problem. Second trip dealer bled the fluids and vehicle still has the problem. Feels as though I might lose control of the steering.

This vehicles steering shudders while making low speed turns, usually left turns. Dealers has bled the system once and it seemed to correct the issues. After about 3 weeks the steering began shuddering again while making left turns and even lane changes would cause the steering wheel to shudder. Upon second trip to dealer they stated they could not replicate the problem and the shudder was normal for the vehicle.
