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!

Questioning my purchase...

I purchased my car on March 1, 2003 and since that time I have had my vehicle in the service department four times. The most recent incident was for a defective power steering rack, which needed to be replaced. Since this is such a new car, the power steering rack was not available and had to be stripped off of a new car in currently being built. Took almost a whole two weeks to get it back, which is better than the 30 days they originally told me. Hopefully I can overcome my thoughts about the car and finally begin to enjoy my purchase.

It is a solid performing car; interior is top-notch. Negatives: the tilt steering mechanism is a step backwards - awkward and it can interfere exiting the vehicle. Rear view mirror is rather cheap considering the price of the vehicle. Lincoln should also have included the automatic emergency brake release that is in the Navigators, tough to bend when you get older and a little heavier! I chose the Kitty Hawk because only way to get black leather seats but the chrome wheels are a must. Tires should have remained OWL instead of solid black. The ride is great. Lincoln should also have designed with dual exhausts!!!

We have loved our Lincoln Aviator. It has provided us with years of exquisite service. Luxurious ride and comfort, rarely needing any repair. Convenient for trekking the family, guests, on a short or long excursion or picking up groceries or an over-sized item for the house or yard.
