Decent Vehicle, Terrible Service and Support
All the hype of owning a Lincoln and the service that comes with it falls through the cracks the moment you need help. Lincoln offers to pick up your car for service to their nearest dealer. True? No, it is not true (at least in my case and I live in a populated 4 million resident metro). Lincoln stands behind their cars with great service. True? No, it is not true. Called in for service a few months ago and they said I would have to wait 6 MONTHS to be seen to fix a faulty rear seat entertainment screen on a brand new Navigator. I called Lincoln for help and they said to talk to their internal 'Lincoln Play' team. The call transfers straight to voicemail for some 3rd party company that makes the screen. Did they return my call? Nope. Never. Not once. A few months passed. I called Lincoln again for help. They said they would call the dealer. They called the dealer and the dealer said it would be a month and a half to be seen now and no, they would not pick up my vehicle as advertised. They are now calling local Ford dealers to see if they can help with some measure of hope that a Ford service department can figure out a Lincoln proprietary issue. I appreciate the willingness for the Lincoln agent to help, but his hands are tied by their dealer network not being willing to provide any level of reasonable support. Think I'm wrong? Give your local Lincoln service team a call first before you buy from them and ask how long it will take to be seen for your Lincoln. It might change your perspective on the service promised to you. Currently, I am still waiting for support on both a seat belt issue that keeps unlocking itself and a rear entertainment system that only occasionally works.

Over Priced for what was offered.
This is my second Navigator. My first was 2018. I waited over a year and a half to get this new Black Label Model which listed for $106,485. Ride is very luxurious and a boulevard ride. Certainly not a European ride. Interior is very comfortable and well appointed. However, it seems to have been detailed with less quality than my 2018 model. Although there are a few more options offered on this model the use of those options are in a place difficult to implement. The message option if on the road is difficult to use. The trunk button is non-descript. Reading the cruise control and other buttons while driving is difficult because of the size print. The new phone call button is not simultaneous. One needs to be a Purdue Engineering school graduate to figure out all of the seat adjustments. The radio and all of its options are a challenge. Probably the biggest surprise was the 10 speed transmission. It jumps into gear and the smooth shifting is gone. In reverse the transmission makes a high pitched whine. The driver side doors are not flush. Disgraceful! Did I mention that this car listed for over $106 G’s! I don’t engineer cars but I do drive them. I know what I like and what I do not like. Quality of my unit is below average.

Most comfortable suv
Pros: holds lots of people and luggage, the most comfortable and quiet ride, lots of bells and whistles. Fun to drive Cons: satellite map system commonly sends me the wrong or longest way, Lincoln doesn’t stand behind the pickup/delivery/loaner service, tires were only black for one day, not enough tint in front windows and windshield.

2024 Navigator-Luxurious Fraud
I purchased a 2024 navigator that when driven at highway speeds had a vibrations. The car had 40 miles on. The dealer stated that the tires needed balanced. After balancing them several times, the dealer replace all four tires. The vehicle still had a vibration. After 4 attempts with two sets of new tires, the dealer recognized that this vehicle was a lemon and gave me Lincoln’s number for a buy back. Lincoln refused to buy the car back because replacing tires is not a repair (?). They had me take it back to the dealer so that a Lincoln Field Rep could trouble shoot it. After two weeks of being in the shop, they again stated that the fault was in the tires, even after they replaced the rims and tires. Their final analysis stated that the vibrations were within their acceptable range and that I should try a different brand of tires. They would not cover another change of tires under warranty and would not perform any additional work on the car. So, apparently driving a so-caller luxurious car at 60 to 80 MPH with a vibration that was felt by four different technicians is “normal” according to Lincoln. For $100,000 luxury car, I would consider this a fraud. The dealer also took other Navigators for a test ride and noted a similar vibration. Lincoln is hiding this and is assuming most people can not recognize it. Lincoln’s reputation is not what it used to be. Beware! They know about the vibration, but will do nothing about it.
Upmost luxury, but terrible reliability
We owned a 2018 Reserve L and loved it. Recently got the 2022 Black Label L adn have had nothing but problems. Last night it would not start and had to be dragged to a dealer. We have had leaks, electrical problems, and not mechanical problems. The real kicker is this very expensive automobile can leave you stranded at any moment. Unfortunately this will be replaced with another brand very soon.
