Used 2003 Lincoln Aviator Luxury AWD 4dr SUV (4.6L 8cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
Stay Away!
Rides nice, comfort and luxury, but American car makers still have a long way to go! This car is very unreliable, had so many issues, transmission, heated seats, fog lights, torque converter, remote starter. Americans can create nice options but can't seem to make them last. The car has 54k and has problems like it was over 150,000! The electronics stink on this thing. Every fuse or some module goes every month. It's still under warranty, and that's how I will sell it!
Pure Excellence
This SUV is more than amazing. The luxury and capability is just awesome. It drives like a sports car and handles is so smooth and luxurious, I don't even want to complain about the gas mileage. It is not a commuter that is for sure. We just bought it and have been fighting over who gets to drive it everyday since. 50k Miles and drives better than the new Caddy DTS! Love it!

What's wrong with this Avaitor?
I have 2250 miles on my 03 Avaitor and it went into the shop the day after delivery. It had a vibration on throughout the vehicle. It has been in the shop for twenty 20 days during the last 35 days. After replacement of many drivetrain parts and tires the dealer says that all Avaitors are like this according to Ford engineers.
Repair,repair,repair transmission,cooling system,
Bot brain new in 2003 $47k on the 3rd year after the warranty was over, repairs started constantly every other month had to visit the repair shop for some problem and currently it has 96,000 Miles and it is seating in AAMCO waiting for front differential ($2500) after changing the transmission cooling system that costed over $1400. No dealers had offered more than $500 to buy it as is (with broken differential) . This the story of my Aviator in nut shell

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.
