2005 Lincoln Navigator Electrical System Problems

Fire inside of the motor, behind the engine computer. Upon researching recalls for Lincoln Navigators I found these other recalls online for possibly the same fire issue: "Ford has issued a recall for some of its 2021 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs due to a potential engine fire risk. Over 65,000 2021-year model vehicles manufactured between December 2020 and April 2021 have been affected." "We've discovered a vehicle safety issue in some 2021 model-year Lincoln Navigator vehicles built from July 30, 2020 to August 31, 2021. Some of these vehicles have experienced an under-hood fire, even while parked and off."

MY 2005 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR HAS SUDDENLY STOPPED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. IT ONLY HAS 43K MILES. THE COMPUTER STATED TO CHECK ELECTRONIC THROTTLE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. THEY WANTED $500+!! THE TRUCK HAS STOPPED WORKING SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY REFUSED TO PAY! THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON THE FREEWAY IN THE FAST LANE!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FULL SPEED, THE VEHICLE (2005 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR) STOPPED AND I THEN COASTED INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE WHERE I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE TO SAFE LOCATION. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED TWICE BEFORE RECEIVING THE ERROR CODE IN THE CAR CHECK ELECTRONIC THROTTLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING BEFORE STOPPING LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A SAFE LOCATION BUT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A CATASTROPHIC EVENT ESPECIALLY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY TO THE TUNE OF $563.85 INCLUDING LABOR. *TR
