2014 Lincoln Navigator Complaints

DRIVING AT ABOUT 25-30 MPH ON SIDE STREET AND MY CAR SURGED OUT OF CONTROL.. I ATTEMPTED TO CONTROL THE SPEED WITH THE BRAKE. I WAS ABOUT 100-150 FEET FROM A BUSY INTERSECTION (40 HIGHWAY -THE CAR SURGING REALLY FAST. I NEEDED TO MAKE SOME QUICK DECISIONS TO PROTECT A LOT OF PEOPLE FROM BEING BADLY INJURED OR KILLED. I HAD TO LEAVE THE KEY ON SO THAT I COULD CONTROL THE CAR AWAY FROM 40 HIGHWAY- SO I TURNED INTO A LITTLE PATH TO MY RIGHT WHICH LED ME INTO BIG TREES OR A THICKET. I CHOSE THE THICKET NOT KNOWING THERE WAS A TERRAIN IN THE MIDDLE. ACTUALLY , THE CAR WAS GOING SO FAST - I HAD VERY LITTLE CONTROL AT THIS TIME. MY CAR ATTEMPTED TO GO UP ON ONE SIDE FLEW ABOUT 20 FEET THROUGH THE AIR WHEN IT LANDED A SMALL TREE KEPT IT FROM ROLLING OVER AND CAME OUT ON A HILL AGAIN HEADING FOR THE BUSY 40 HIGHWAY. AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT ,THE HILL WAS WET AND MUDDY FROM RAIN AND I PULLED THE STEERING WHEEL AS HARD AS I COULD TO MY RIGHT TURNING THE CAR UP THE HILL - AWAY FROM THE TRAFFIC....

PRESSED THE GAS AFTER SITTING A STOP LIGHT AND GOT NO POWER. SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO DRIVE AGAIN SEEMED TO HELP, UNTIL I GOT ON THE INTERSTATE 5 MINUTES LATER AND NOTICED THAT MY SPEEDOMETER HAD STOPPED WORKING AND THE MESSAGE CENTER WAS FLASHING THE WRENCH SYMBOL ALONG WITH A "--MILES TO E FUEL LEVEL LOW" MESSAGE. THERE WAS HALF A TANK OF GAS IN TANK. GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND ALMOST MADE IT HOME UNTIL I DROVE UP A HILL WITH A STOP SIGN AT THE TOP, AND ONCE AGAIN, NO POWER WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS AFTER STOPPING AT THE SIGN. I HAD TO PUSH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN JUST TO GET IT GO 5MPH THE REST OF THE WAY UP THE HILL TO MY HOUSE. WHEN I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN BACK ON, THE WARNING DISAPPEARED AND THE SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY WORKED AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK OUT, WITH THE WRENCH LIGHT FLASHING AGAIN AND THE SPEEDOMETER STUCK ON ZERO. THIS WAS ON LOW MPH CITY STREETS. MADE IT TO THE DEALERS...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING INTO FIRST GEAR. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JOHN WIESE FORD (203 10TH ST S, SAUK CENTRE, MN 56378, (888) 868-6561) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LEAD FRAME WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V075000 (POWER TRAIN), BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: CAS-24448826-J5N0K0. THE MANUFACTURER CONFIRMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000. *TT CONSUMER STATED IN REGARDS TO SAFETY RECALL 19S07 WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF MANUFACTURE DATES. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE DOWNSHIFTS AS THIS RECALL BUT THE MANUFACTURE DATE DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE BY 28 DAYS. TH...

REOCCURRING BRAKE FLUID SYSTEM. HAVE HAD IT REPLACED 3 TIMES ALREADY. I HAVE LOST THREE ABILITY TO STOP MY VEHICLE IN MAY AND ENDED UP CRASHING INTO A TREE WHILE BACKING UP. CONSTANT BREAK FLUID SPRAYING ON THE TIRES AND RIM OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AREA. DAMAGE TO THE TAIL GATE AREA FROM THE TREE COLLISION HAS CAUSED ME TO HAVE WIRING SYSTEM ISSUES WITH MY BACK TAIL LIGHT CONSTANTLY BLOWING THE BULB. HAD THIS REPAIRED TWICE FROM JOE HUDSON COLLISION AND THEN SOUNDLY BY LINCOLN DEALERSHIP IN ORANGE PARK FL.

THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD INTERMEDIATELY STOP WORKING. WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING IT WOULD HAVE A LOSS IN POWER OR BEGIN TO MISFIRE. WE HAVE NOW STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT DOWN SHIFTED EXTREMELY HARD AT ROAD SPEED WHILE ALONG SIDE ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE WIFE WAS EXTREMELY SCARED AND I AM AFRAID IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION.
