THIS VEHICLE WAS CARRYING THREE BABY GIRLS (TRIPLETS) AND THEIR MOTHER AND FATHER WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS WITHIN A MINUTE OR SO OF LOOSING THE WHEEL. WITH POTENTIALLY DISASTROUS RESULTS. THE WHEEL STUDS SHOULD NEVER HAVE SEPARATED EVEN IF THEY WERE OVERTIGHTENED. THE THREADS SHOULD HAVE STRIPPED FIRST. WHEEL STUDS MAY HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE AND THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY BETWEEN 40-45 MPH WHEN THE SAFE ENGINE MODE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THEN THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY STALLED. THE ENGINE RESTARTED AND RESUMED OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FIVE TIMES REGARDING THE SIMILAR FAILURE. THE TECHNICIAN REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM SOFTWARE AND THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED AT A DIFFERENT TIME. THE FAILURE PERSISTED AFTER THE REPAIRS. ALSO, MOST RECENT THE TEMPERATURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED DURING THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND A TROUBLE CODE WAS NOT DETECTED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN NOTIFIED IN WHICH THERE WERE NO RESOLUTIONS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING BRAKE, TRANSMISSION AND AIR SUSPENSION PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BECOME MORE FREQUENT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER MORE THAN SIX TIMES TO BE REPAIRED, BUT THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING AS THEY CLAIMED THAT COMPUTER SHOWED NOTHING HAPPENED OR THE COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS. FORD SENT A FIELD REPRESENTATIVE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE, BUT HE SAID THE SAME THING. WAS TOLD BY A DEALER THAT FORD DID RISK STUDIES AND WEIGHED THE COST OF ADMITTING TO AN ISSUE, AND LETTING A FEW PEOPLE GET INJURED OR DIE OVER THE COST IT WOULD PAY IN THE EVENT OF A RECALL. THE DEALER WE PURCHASED OUR LINCOLN NAVIGATOR FROM HAS BANNED ME FROM GETTING THIS LOOKED AT AGAIN AT HIS DEALERSHIP, AND AS MENTIONED IN THE FORD DATABASE I AM FLAGGED WHEREVER I GO. ALSO, THEY HAVE HAD AN AUTHORIZED FORD AFTER MARKET VENDOR INSTALL AN ILLEGAL DEVICE ON MY VEHICLE TV VIEWING BY THE DRIVER, AT THE DEALERSHIP AND AS A PART OF THEIR NORMAL SELLING PRACTICE.*AK

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING BRAKING AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH OUR 2006 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR AND HAVE BEEN TOLD TODAY THAT THE VEHICLE HAS ISSUES WITH BRAKE ROTORS OVERHEATING, ABS FAILURE AND TRANSMISSION FAILURE. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THESE CONDITIONS CAN HAPPEN SUDDENLY AS WE HAVE EXPERIENCED. *JB

THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM ACTIVATES DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS.(3) DEALER SERVICE MANGER REUBEN FERNANDEZ AT FREEWAY LINCOLN DEALERSHIP IN CALIFORNIA HAS TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE CONDITION AND HAS NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN DOING SO. THE DEALER'S SERVICE REQUEST THAT I DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL THE CONDITION WORSENS BEFORE HE CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. THE SUV'S COMPUTER WAS ADJUSTED AND RESET. THE FAILURE HAS ACCRUED TWICE SINCE THEN. THE DEALER CURRENTLY HAS THE SUV AND IV'E REQUESTED THE CAR BE REPLACED BY FORD. *NM
