Lincoln Navigator owners have reported 2 problems related to mid/rear seats assembly (under the seats category). The most recently reported issues are listed below. Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Lincoln Navigator based on all problems reported for the Navigator.
The rear seat has no locking mechanism, when the seat is pushed up there is no lock to keep it locked. There is an arm that pulls out and attached to the back. On the back of the seat on the diagram it shows there is a lock, but on the consumer's vehicle there is no lock. Noticed this on August 26, 2005; when the seat came down to rest in its position, it makes a loud noise. It is so loud that one would think the consumer was involved in a car accident. Contacted the dealer, they didn't know what direction to go with this.

A rear seated passenger in my Lincoln Navigator is unable to physically reach the release lever in order to exit the vehicle. Another person must first release the seat in front to exit. As a father and a physician, this is a very scary situation. In an emergency, that rear passenger will be trapped back there. I was so concerned about this that I removed the console present between the "captain chair" in this oem configuration. Now my kids easily walk out. I received no help from the company in how to do this and have not heard from their engineers regarding this easily remedied problem. The simple fix is to reposition the release lever in a physically appropriate location. We do love the car otherwise. Please respond.
