Used 2003 Lincoln Aviator Consumer Reviews
Shake and rattle
The day after I took delivery of this vehicle was in the shop. It has been in the shop on 6 different occasions for over 30 days. There is a vibration throughout the drivetrain including the steering wheel which manifest itself by shaking when driving down the road. It is noticed by noise and feel. Ford says that all Avaitors are this way so be aware. If you feel your hand shaking or hear vibrations it is not in your head. Other problems include oil, leaks tire sensor failures and bad tires.
Never an issue
We have loved this for 2 years and have loved it. A lot of people complain about the mileage but for a full sized SUV to get 21 mpg on the highway at 80 mph I have no complaints at all. Around town we get 15 mpg but again, I never expected this to be an economy car. It has been very reliable and has never given us an issue.

This ain't no Explorer
We were in the market for an SUV with 3rd row seating. If this is you, do yourself a favor and test drive this SUV. You'll understand why most limo's are Licoln's - it's all about the ride and this SUV delivers.
Never Never Never Never again
This car has been nothing but problems. After owning the vehicle for two years the transmission had to be replaced. When the third time repair did not fix the original problem. I have had electrical problems from day one but no one can seem to figure out why. The auto-window doesn't work, the side view mirrors would change positions, the passenger seat heater does not work, the sound system takes about a minute to come on after the car is started. The steering wheel shimmies when braking, and there is a long whining sound when you start the vehicle in cold weather (which they can't seem to figure out why). This vehicle is the most expensive I have owned and yet the worst purchase made.
Tired of Fighting
I do alot of driving-23,000 miles in 8 months!I owned a Navigator before this Aviator and loved it. Since 2000 miles, it shimmies at 75mph.They've replaced tires, rotored brakes and can't seem to fix it. The driver's seat moves and they say it's normal after replacing the seat and track! I'm tired of fighting to get a quality SUV for my money! I have not gotten anyone to help - even at Customer Relations Headquarters!
