Known Problems for the Lincoln Navigator:

• The air conditioner may turn off at cruising speeds due to icing in the air conditioner assembly.


• The factory-installed brake pads can cause excessive brake dust which can get into the engine and other sensitive parts of the car.


• Water may accumulate in the headlight assembly.


• The automatic height adjuster may not work due to sensor arms disconnecting at their ball studs.


• Rear wheels may make noise when the car shifts gears. This can be repaired with a new clutch package.


• Rear wiper may have battery failure. When it becomes rusty it may attempt to go into park mode but will be unable to do so, thus it will keep attempting to enter park mode.
