We've had this vehicle for a little less than two months. The app started sending notifications about the car going into deep sleep and needing to conserve battery within a week after purchase. We were unable to use remote unlock or start. Jan 10, it was dead after sitting overnight and needed to be jump started. After that, the running boards were stuck one up and one down all day. The next day it needed to be jumped again but after that time, all warning lights were on, running boards did not work at all. Took the car to the dealership, they didn't find anything wrong but charged it up. When we came to retrieve it, it wouldn't start. It's been seven days and they are still unable to find an actual issue.

My roof-mounted dvd player has never worked but still makes noises when car is crunk up or switched off, my battery all of a sudden went dead (car would not crank), headlights have shorts in them...after replacing $100 bulbs, I found out if I turn the lights off and back on, the bulb will come back on, check park assist light and alarms come on every time the vehicle is put in reverse, and my suspension will not let the vehicle up when the weather is cold.

My 2007 lincoln navigator ultimate 4x4 engine stopped running suddenly like it ran out of gas. There was a half a tank of gas in the vehicle. The vehicle would crank and crank but would not start. I troubleshooted the issue to a failed fuel pump. When I pulled the fuel pump out of the fuel tank I noticed that the wiring going to the negative side of the pump was melted. This is extremely dangerous that the pump was submerged in gasoline but it got hot enough to melt the plastic on the pump and wiring. There should be a recall for this issue.

My 2003 lincoln navigator has shut down completely three times in the last 6 weeks. Two of the occasions happened on the interstate while driving about 55 MPH, the third instance happened in my subdivision driving less than 30 MPH. After pulling the truck over to the side for safety the truck will not start immediately but will start after resting about 7 minutes. When the truck shuts down several lights on the dashboard light up. I explained the issue as well as I could to my local ford / lincoln dealership in madison, tn but they could not find any issues with it saying that no codes were showing. I also took the truck to a goodyear service repair in brentwood, tn but they also could not diagnose the problem. After searching for this type of issue on the internet I found numerous customers that have had a similar experience, some saying that the issue is related to the "fail safe" security option kicking in while a person is driving. The issue of having my truck shut down completely on the interstate is dangerous and I would appreciate help on getting the issue resolved as soon as possible.

My auto, a 98 lincoln navigator, sometimes will not start. The starter just grinds & vehicle cannot be started or moved except manually. This can happen at any time, even in traffic, if engine stalls. It occurs with engine hot or cold. I also incur this defect now with my 2000 ford expedition. I believe the vehicles are manufactured with a defective flywheel assembly.

The 2004 lincoln navigtor that we purchased has suffered numerous battery failures leading to various electrical problems. At first, the vehicle would not start at all. After numerous attempts to repair and over a week with the dealer, an improperly dealer installed dvd player was the cause. However, immediately after that problem was "fixed" the navigation system failed. Specifically, the screen would "grey" out not allowing any input into the system. After 10-13 minutes, the options would appear for a few sections and then "grey" out again.

No start condition every once in a while for a brief minute or two try to crank it again and the engine will start. Occurred about three to four times until no start at all occurred. After towing to the dealer, the problem ended up to be fuel pump failure.
