Suspension goes out frequently for over 2 years and everything has been checked out and ford says nothing is wrong after each repair. I don't understand the rules to getting a vehicle replaced but my concerns are above and beyond the rules and should be considered for our safety and well being. We have been in the shop at least 7-10 times during this time. All goes back to same issue - suspension in june of 2009 we purchased a 2006 lincoln navigator for nearly $30,000, with the understanding that if we took reasonable care of the care that this would be a dependable,reliable vehicle for our family of 5. Since early 2010 we have had nothing but ongoing problems with the suspension system in this car. We have gone nearly two months and $4,000 in car bills during this time driving other cars from dealers while they have been working on our vehicle. Started with buying a new control module, then ride height sensors, and on to the latest buying a new air compressor. Car broke down on vacation and they said control module (which was just replaced) and needed to order it so we would have been stranded in florida for nearly a week and this would have been the 3rd new control module put into our car. So ford pumped us up with air and put something in car for nearly $700 and ensured us that will get us back to michigan safely until we could get the new module. Made it 2 hours into our trip and the suspension dropped out on us again. Been nearly 2 years with the same issue. Our car has just been taken back in today 1/20/2014 because of the same issue. It broke down on us on our way to a work function this time, so I missed work and we dealt without having car again. Got new air compressor for $900 and it worked for a week this time. Bottomed out again and they said every test performed fine again. When will ford/lincoln listen and take action running out of money.

I am having continuous problems with my 2006 lincoln navigator. For a vehicle of this quality, I never dream of so many problem. I had my suspension system fix last year at the dealer. 1 year has pass now it is gone out again. I had my catalyst converter fix at the dealer about 2 years ago. 1 year later they are gone out again. Now I am riding around with a bouncing navigator and a sluggist running navigator with plenty of fumes. I just don't have the funds for continuous repairs for the same service. Do the mechanics know what they are doing? I am really frustrated with this vehicle and the service I have received. Bouncing around in a 40,000 + vehicle is embarrassing. Please help. I have to bum a ride at time. I have to travel , a lot and rent a car. This is getting old and expensive. The dealer want fix it because they say it is out of warranty, eventhough I have paid to have it fixed before. This is not costumer service. Help!
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.
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.
