Engine shut down at 45 miles an hour. Fail-safe light illuminated followed by a loss of power steering. Coasted car to the side of road and turned key to off position. The engine immediately restarted with no other problems. This car has 79,000 miles on it and I have owned it since new. This has not happened since the car was new. The dealer took the problem seriously, but can never find a problem. It seems to be a computer problem with the fail-safe mode.
2006 Lincoln Navigator. Fail safe mode comes on while driving and shuts vehicle down. This has happened twice and also exact same incident to friend in different state with same 2006 Navigator. Decided to report after I called Lincoln and they had record of my call in December 2009 and January 2010 but no record of the work performed to correct the problem or the dangerous incident. It happened again September 23, 2010 after it was supposed to have been fixed by changing a sensor. This is extremely dangerous!! car shuts down and my wife was almost rear ended at highway speeds. On google search of "Lincoln Navigator fail safe mode problems" there are 1380 results. Goes to over 2500 when 2006 is removed. During first "fix" Ford dealership replaced a sensor but the details are not documented in my file on the Ford/Lincoln computer system. This could be how Ford/Lincoln is avoiding a major recall for a extraordinarily dangerous problem.
2006 Lincoln Navigator, 50,000 miles on car. Car shut down after giving an engine safety mode error on dash while on four lane busy highway traveling 40-45 mph. Coasted to side of road (no berm available). Cars racing by. Waited 5 minutes. Restarted car and limped into team Ford of marietta georgia dealer. I was told the throttle control body & motor asy #8l3z*9e926*a was bad and was not covered under the $1,000 extended warranty I purchased on the car in 2006. Repair bill was $800 out of pocket. Checked online and this is a known issue for Ford expeditions & Lincoln Navigator engines and yet Ford does nothing to fix. Does someone have to die to get Ford to repair these defective parts? nothing more dangerous than a car that shuts down in heavy traffic traveling at high speeds.
