UNHAPPY WITH 2004 AVIATOR

2004 Lincoln Aviator Luxury Rwd 4dr SUV (4.6L 8cyl 5A)

I've had the car for almost 6 yrs. This is the 3rd time that the applique on the back of car has cracked. Also, my extended warranty just expired. Now car is at dealer with oil leak and thermostat problem. In the past had to have transmission repaired, the driving gear fixed. Air conditioner problems. Not happy right now. Third row is useless. Small space. Also when third row up, now trunk space. Have 3 kids so it's a problem, because not roomy.

Intelligent Design defines Aviator

The Aviator is an intelligently designed mid-sized SUV with class- leading functionality and performance. The exterior and interior design is simply superb. With few exceptions, the fit and finish of both the interior and exterior are on par with the best that the Japanese and Germans have to offer. The problem with the Aviator is that most people willing to spend 40k plus for a midsized SUV want the cache that goes along with a Japanese or Gernman moniker. That is too bad, because the Aviator really packs world- class luxury, functionaliy and performance. This is the first American car I have ever owned and I must say that I am very pleased.

Flying the Aviator

i love driving this suv. i actually enjoy driving to work now because the aviator is such a joy to drive. the stereo is fantastic, and the ride is so smooth that is feels like you are flying. the steering is easy and smooth as well. the HID lights are a big plus at night as well. the aviator is loaded with all kinds of gadgits and i love gadgits. over all, i love the vehicle. it has a few problems, but since most of the aviators are discounted right now, you can get a brand new one for 20,000 less than a bmw or mb.

I bought a 2004 Lincoln Aviator in June the Front differential broke in September. Repaired in November and I paid $1800.00 on December 1,2011. Picked up car on 1st. it broke on the 2nd. Picked up car on the 6th and on the 8th it started licking fluid. returned it and they said that it was fine. Then on the 12th it Broke again. On the 16th I picked it Up and drove it 30 mins. and smelled burning, took it back at 4 pm they said that it was the old smell burning off. At 7pm it broke on the hwy. Several times me and My small kids has broken down on the Road. The car is really unsafe. Thanking God that We got to Safety all these times. and the Car is still in the Shop. My God. What to Do I ask.
