Suspension is making noises, and the running board is rusty and bolts came out or broke off, and there is a crack in it, had I not been holding on when I got out of car I would have falling. I had it check and the other side is rusty also and about to come off.

My roof-mounted dvd player has never worked but still makes noises when car is crunk up or switched off, my battery all of a sudden went dead (car would not crank), headlights have shorts in them. . . After replacing $100 bulbs, I found out if I turn the lights off and back on, the bulb will come back on, check park assist light and alarms come on every time the vehicle is put in reverse, and my suspension will not let the vehicle up when the weather is cold.

Hello, luckily I made it home before this happened as I was towing my trailer with a couch and chair on it. I got home and stopped in front of my house, then had to move the truck. When I stepped on the gas to move, there was a horrendous bang, a clunking noise and the rear of the vehicle dropped down almost to the ground. Upon jacking the vehicle up and examining the damage, the rear lower control arms rotted on both side and collapsed like pretzels, allowing the rear differential to twist, snapping the driveshaft flange where the universal goes and blowing out both rear suspension air springs. As I said, luckily it waited until I was home for this to happen. If it had happen on route 287 on my way home at 65mph, I'm sure the results would have been catastrophic. I can't imagine that I would have been able to control the vehicle. Examining the upper control arms showed they are rotted to! I contacted the Ford dealer I have used for repairs and Ford customer service. The dealership said they have seen it before, but to their knowledge, Ford is not assisting for this problem. When I contacted Ford customer service, they took my VIN number and said there were no open recalls on the vehicle so Ford would not assist either. Reading on line this seems to be a common problem and I think Ford should bee held responsible for it. I am 49 years old and have owned alot of cars, I've never seen anything like this! I work for an Audi dealership, needless to say I don't think I would buy another Ford.

A year and ahalf ago, the Navigator began to make strange growling noises when it was parked under the garage. Some days when I would try to get into the car, it was high off the ground, other days it would be extremely low. The entire suspension went out on our 2003 Navigator. It cost me over $700 to have it repaired. This is my only transportation, so I had to borrow a car for a week to get to work. Now, it is out again! because of the last experience, I had been doing a system check periodically. The check always said, "suspension ok". Well, two weeks ago, I began to notice the car seemed to lean to the right or lean forward when parked. Finally, last week my husband said, the car was riding like a bouncing buggy - the suspension is gone again! this is the second time and I cannot afford to have it repaired. It is the only transportation we have for getting to work. And I'm still paying on a car that I cannot ride.

July 22, 2003 I purchased a new 2003 Lincoln Navigator, VIN# 5lmfu28r93lj39987. Fter two days, I noticed excessive wind noise coming from sun roof. On the third day, the suspension malfunctioned warning indicator began buzzing. Since that time, the body of the Navigator began hitting all four tires while driving and bottoming out even when driving over small bumps. I almost had an accident, due to the sudden rocking of the body of the Navigator. I brought the truck back 3 times for the same problem September 2nd. Mr. Downing stated, I will not try to fix the truck again until, Ford engineer brain grozier looks at the problem. The engineer will only be available on September 11th and my truck will just have to sit on his lot until then. No other solution was given to me. No loaner car,no alternatives. I did speak to the Ford representative, after a month of complaining to customer relations and asking for mediation about the lemon law and suspension of my truck payments until the problem is resolved. I have been referred from one person to the next starting with the Ford finance department, to Ford customer relations, to the selling dealer general manager, mike lister of damico Lincoln Mercury, to michael norton service manager of sentry south Lincoln Mercury, and ending with kipp downing service manager of owen motors. The truck is a lemon as the law states, it has had three repair attempts, twenty-five days at repair shop, new vehicle, (thirty days old). Technical service bulletins for 2003 Lincoln Navigator air suspension- repeat compressor drier failures has been issued since may/03 to Lincoln service departments. These remaining defects substantially impair the use, market value or safety of my vehicle. I am hereby allowing you one final repair opportunity. I am entitled to a replacement vehicle acceptable to me or a refund calculated in accordance with the lemon law.
