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.

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!

I bought my aviator used it had 22,000 miles. I love it. No big problems. Replaced a coil after 106,000 miles. The dash board lights some times go on & off, but easy to deal with.
Lincoln. stinking!

This is absolutely the worst truck I have ever owned! Ford, Lincoln, stink! Always a major issue with this truck, it has been an issue since day 1! It was always taken care of, but no matter what I do, it is a money pit! I have always owned Fords, never again!!! Ford did not take the buy out yrs ago, However, Ford no longer makes parts to support older vehicles. I asked Ford, what do I do, I can't find parts for my truck. Fords responded by, buy a new truck! I sure will, IT WON'T BE FORD!!!! I have owned Fords all my life, never again! I did buy a new truck, Toyota! Screw you Ford! Lincoln was a beautiful truck, a safe truck. The safest truck you can have, is one that doesn't run!!!! Suspension issues, dashboard lights kept shutting off, rear hatch would not open, 1 transmission, 1 engine, 4 radiators, 4 wheel bearings, drivers seat motor broke, replaced with new motor, died 1 yr later. Upper and lower control arms, good luck.in finding replacement parts. 3 compressors. Ford. Fix or repair daily. I wish I had brought a different vehicle. This truck had low miles, I know why now. It tows well, and constantly! Ford owns the patent on the upper and lower control arms. Friend owns 2012 Ford Explorer, he can't find parts either. Not my problem anymore! So glad to be rid of this piece of junk now! Someone else's problem! I will never buy another Ford ever again! Never, ever again! Glad it is someone else's problem now! Piece if junk! Don't miss the piece of junk! So happy it is someone else's problem! The safest truck you can have, is one that doesn't run! P.O.S! Glad it's gone!
