I am submitting a formal complaint regarding my 2022 Lincoln Navigator, VIN [xxx], which I purchased new from a Lincoln dealership in [xxx]. Since purchasing the vehicle, it has experienced multiple significant mechanical, safety, and reliability problems: the transmission required repair, and the vehicle remained at the repair facility for more than one month while the work was completed. The original tires had to be replaced, resulting in an out-of-pocket expense of approximately $1,900. The suspension has not operated properly since we purchased the vehicle and continues to cause concern. The vehicle has reportedly been affected by seven recalls. The entire air-conditioning system now needs repair, and I have been quoted approximately $2,700. The continuing transmission and suspension problems are particularly concerning because they may affect the vehicle’s safe operation. Considering that this Navigator was purchased new and is a premium vehicle, this history of repeated defects, recalls, extended repair time, and substantial expenses is unacceptable. I respectfully request: a comprehensive review of the vehicle’s complete warranty, recall, and repair history. A thorough inspection of the transmission and suspension to determine whether the vehicle can be operated safely. Repair of the complete air-conditioning system at no cost to me. Reimbursement of the approximately $1,900 paid to replace the tires. Appropriate reimbursement for transportation expenses and the extended period the vehicle was unavailable. Consideration of a manufacturer repurchase, replacement vehicle, extended warranty, or other substantial goodwill assistance because of the vehicle’s continuing problems. Please establish a formal case, provide me with the case number, and respond in writing within 10 business days. I am prepared to provide the purchase agreement, repair orders, tire invoice, air-conditioning estimate, recall notices, photographs, and any o information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.
The contact owns a 2022 Lincoln Navigator. The contact received notifications of NHTSA campaign numbers: 25v455000 (fuel system gasoline) and 26v165000 (back over prevention, electrical system); however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer confirmed that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure.
At about 2:30am after hearing some popping noises I went to the vehicle and saw that the engine under the bonnet was on fire. The fire was seeping out from the sides of the bonnet. The vehicle had been parked since 9:20pm the previous night. I called emergency services including the fire department and the police. It spread very quickly in the garage where the car was parked and burnt out the garage and the Tesla plaid parked in the same garage. Firefighters put out the fire with total disintegrated remains. It was just luck that I was awake to catch this at this stage otherwise it would have spread to the house. My 3 children and wife were sleeping. The fire started in the engine of the parked Lincoln Navigator. Visual confirmation of the event is evident.
I was driving and didn't notice this truck ahead of me as I switched lanes. Although fault is questionable since the truck we traveling extremely slow on the highway, my vehicle had plenty of time to stop with the pre-collision system. That system is intended to avoid front end collisions and apply emergency breaks if required. It didn't. I have video of the system failure from my dash cam.
The contact owns a 2022 Lincoln Navigator. The contact stated while parked in a parking lot on a stormy day, lightening occurred near the vehicle, and the vehicle lost electrical power.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 57,000.
2022 Lincoln Navigator l reserve has many issues with modules one of them that keeps goes bad is apin which controls the screen and all other features like massage seats running boards and music and all other controls that gets disabled when it goes bad it’s a frequent problem which I has been having often changed 3 times but the problem is persistent Lincoln hasn’t made a recall for this particular model they are keep updating the software or replacing apin but it’s not a long time fix you’ll have this issue as long as you have this model it’s my 4th time getting fix other issues with this model is blind spot sensor that goes on while driving and it stays on the screen till it’s get reprogrammed at the dealership with updates so this 2022 model is not as same as the other Lincoln Navigator models.
Vehicle would not start. Did not recognize key fob, phone app for engine start or the password.
1. The monitor on the vehicle went black on 2 separate occasions so far while the vehicle was moving. The screen rebooted but causes the retractable running boards to be locked in the up position. In order to address the running boards you must go into the settings and adjust the running boards from off to automatic. 2. During use of the active assist, the vehicle on several occasions has just suddenlt decelerated to 45mph regardless of the speed that was set. This has occured with no vehicles infront or to the sides on straight roads.
Car accelerated very fast while in reverse and brake would not work. After reversing into other cars the car finally stopped. When the car was turned back on it would not going to gear because the break was not being registered as being pressed.
