Vehicle Speed Control Problems of Lincoln Navigator - part 2

Pulling into a parking space the vehicle sped up on its own. The harder I braked the faster the acceleration. The rpm's red lined and I looked down and all gauges were going crazy. It felt as if I lost all power steering and braking. I turned the ignition off and the brake pedal went to the floor. Started it back up and all seemed fine. The next day the check engine light came on. It is at the dealer today and they have never heard of anything like this. I was very scared.

Vehicle was purchased at marshall bros in new orleans, vehicle was sold as a certified vehicle. Vehicle had to have a new transmission installed 2 months after vehicle purchased. Vehicle was sold with the problem known to dealership. Worker at location stated they knew it and when we purchased vehicle, they insisted on us buying an extended warranty since it was used. Insisted to the point of giving policy at cost, this was due to known problem, transmission case and unit was so badly damaged that it could not have been missed. Previous owner contacted and stated they told dealership of problem. Also since vehicle was owned electrical system has gone haywire, battery not charging periodically, alarm and lights operating on their own,lights staying on, coming on at night, radio staying on dealership stated they could not find anything wrong when brought in for issues, they kept vehicle for three days. Happened several more times, same statement by dealer. I researched problem on internet and discovered TSB's on same problems, but no recall. But tsbs have existed since 2004, dealer knew windshield leaks into computer and moonroof can leak causing same problem, dealership didn't fix anything, then when out of warranty dealership states known issue and fuse panel needs replacing at cost of $4,000 . This should be a recall after my research and since the dealerships are doing everything they can including lying and selling vehicles with known problems. Bbb was contacted and in process of having press involved. Please look at all complaints on issue and make a recall necessary. This is a dangerous problem, vehicles wrecking, putting drivers in dangerous situations.

: the contact stated while pulling into a driveway at 5 mph, the accelerator pedal was lightly depressed and the vehicle surged uncontrollably. The brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle did not stop. While the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle was put in neutral and the ignition was turned off, the vehicle then stopped. An auto parts store checked the computer for codes, and found one for the air sensor. The computer was reset, but the vehicle has not been inspected by a mechanic. Updated 06/12/06.

Owner contacted the dealer and the manufacturer, and no one seemed to know how to resolve this problem. The consumer stated that the engine takes 2-5 minutes for idle speed to come down from 2500 rmp.

Accelerator pedal becomes hard to depress whenever temperature is below fifteen degrees f for an extended period. Once depressed, idle does not return. Engine rpm stays elevated, dropping only when gears change, then building back up to "stiuck" rpm. When placed in neutral, engine revolutions increase to almost 5000 rpm; placing vehicle in drive causes rpm to drop to approximately 2200, which is consistent with 70 mph in drive. Vehicle cannot be stopped unless gearshift is placed in neutral or ignition turned off. It would appear that conditon relieves after about twenty minutes of driving, consistent with some internal component warming sufficiently to relieve a cold-originated contraction apparently causing binding. Condition returns randomly at somewhat higher temperatures at speed, almost as though responding to wind chill cold. Dealer obeserved conditon in two-day obervation, did not cure probelm, yet released vehicle in unsafe condition. No followup following week; reported to Lincoln customer care, but complaint ignored; no action taken. "we'll investigate" three weeks now.

When initially starting motor it revs high, and upon take off engine continues to rev high. After having the motor mounts replaced, the problem still persists! the dealership has now found a "knocking" sound in the engine and said it would need to be torn down. Since then they are now saying that they cannot duplicate the noises and nothing is wrong. Only a few days ago they notified me of the knocking noise, which I was unaware of.
