NHTSA investigations into the 2008 Lincoln Navigator

An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.

Recalls on the 2008 Lincoln Navigator

A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous enough to fix for free — however old the car is.

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS

FORD IS RECALLING 158 MY 2008 EXPEDITION AND LINCOLN NAVIGATOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) AND THE LIMO BUILDERS PACKAGE FOR FAILING TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 138, Z"TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS." THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS INCREASED FROM 35 PSI TO 40 PSI WITHOUT A COMMENSURATE UPDATE TO THE TPMS CALIBRATIONS.

Risk: THE TPMS INDICATOR LIGHT WILL NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN A TIRE PRESSURE IS IS 25% BELOW THE 40 PSI VALUE STATED ON THE TIRE PLACARD LABEL OCCURS.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH

FORD IS RECALLING 123,632 MY 2007-2008 EXPEDITION AND LINCOLN NAVIGATOR VEHICLES. THE DOOR HANDLE HOUSING EMBOSSMENT RETAINING THE BOTTOM OF THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE SPRING ON ALL SIDE DOORS MAY FRACTURE DURING NORMAL CUSTOMER USAGE. THIS CAN RESULT IN INSUFFICIENT SPRING FORCE TO RETURN THE HANDLE TO THE FULLY CLOSED POSITION. THE HANDLE MAY BE LOOSE CAUSING A RATTLE OR NOISE AND THE HANDLE MAY NOT RETURN TO THE FULLY CLOSED POSITION. THIS CONDITION MAY ALSO PROVIDE A DELAYED RESISTANCE WHEN ACTUATING THE HANDLE PRIOR TO OPENING THE DOOR.

Risk: IN THE EVENT OF A SIDE IMPACT CRASH, THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE MAY CAUSE THE DOOR LATCH TO OPEN INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO A VEHICLE OCCUPANT.

Canada — Transport Canada

Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not always mirror the American ones.

Recall 2008040 3,673 units in Canada

Other

On certain vehicles, the door handle housing embossment retaining the bottom of the interior door handle spring on all side doors may fracture during normal usage, resulting in insufficient spring force to return the handle to the fully closed position. Under certain conditions, this may cause the door latch to open during a side impact crash, which could result in increased risk of fatality or injury to an adjacent occupant. Correction: Dealers will replace the interior side door handle springs with updated versions.

Recalls cover specific build ranges, so check your own vehicle by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or, in Canada, Transport Canada.

Kingsville, TX

SERVICE BRAKES

The brake booster vacuum hose attached to the intake manifold fitting swelled over time and was close to detaching from the intake manifold fitting. This condition could allow the hose to detach from the fitting during an engine backfire, resulting in loss of power brake assist and increased brake pedal effort. As a result, stopping distance may increase and potentially result in a crash.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Turning signals don't work. I bought this used 2008 Lincoln Navigator with the written text on my phone that said the used car lot took the vehicle to their mechanic and he said he had fixed the problem. I called him (the mechanic) upset and said the used car lot said he fixed the problem. He said he didn't say that; the signals could not be fixed without certain parts (computer parts) that are not available from anywhere. The parts are not being made and the re-conditioned parts are not available from re-conditioned businesses. I did sign an "as is" bill of sale with the understanding they would fix the signals. I have saved those text on my cells phone. They initially took responsibility of the defected signals by asking the mechanic to replace the signal arm. That didn't fix the problem. If they did this to me, they would do it to others. Now I have an unsafe vehicle that I should not drive. I also took this vehicle to a Lincoln dealership who confirmed what their mechanic stated.

WHEELS

FACTORY CHROME PAINTED WHEELS PEELING CAUSED TIRE BLOWOUT ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CHROME SEPARATES FROM THE ALUMINUM WHEEL AND THE TIRE STARTS TO LOSE AIR OR IN MY CASE BLOW OUT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK AND THERE'S NOT ANYTHING I'M ABLE TO DO. THIS IS HAPPENING WITH MANY OTHER LINCOLN VEHICLES THAT HAVE CHROME PAINTED WHEELS FROM 2007 TO 2014. LINCOLN HAS NO ANSWERS FOR ME AND SUGGEST I ORDER FACTORY WHEELS. NEW FACTORY WHEELS WILL JUST START PEELING AGAIN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

THE SUV GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH SYMBOL(POWER TRAIN) AND BEGAN TO JERK AFTER STOPS AT RED LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS WHILE HEADING TO THE EXPRESSWAY. IT LOST POWER COMPLETELY,WHILE IN MOTION AND NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON THE BELT PKWY. I HAD THE GAS PEDAL FULLY PRESSED DOWN AND COULDN'T ACCELERATE SUDDENLY. I HAD TO DRIVE WITH ON FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE OTHER ON THE GAS TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE SUV AND WAS AFRAID IF BE REAR ENDED OR WORST AT HIGH SPEED. I GOT OFF AT THE NEAREST EXIT ON THE WAY HOME AND SHUT IT OFF. I LET IT REST A FEW MINUTES AND CUT BACK ON AND IT DROVE LIKE NORMAL WITH LOW RPM'S AND A CONSTANT SHUTTERING OR PINGING FEELING AND SOUND. I BROUGHT THE SUV TO JAMAICA NY LINCOLN/FORD SERVICE CENTER WHO TOOK THE SUV FOR CLOSE TO 1 MONTH AND GAVE IT BACK STATING "IT NEEDS A THROTTLE BODY". NOTHING ELSE IS WRONG WITH IT. IT'S NOT A TRANSMISSION ISSUE, OR ELECTRONICAL ISSUE ITS THE ENGINE. THEY ALSO SAID ALOT OF FORD VEHICLES HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES AND IT WAS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. I'VE CHANGED THIS SUV'S ENGINE, TRANNY, CONVERTERS, SPARK PLUGS, COILS, ETC ETC ETC. THE SERVICE RECORDS FROM PURCHASE DATE, YEAR TO DATE ARE SO LONG IT'S STUNNING! EVERY 90 DAYS IT HAS HAD TO BE SERVICED FOR SOME REASON OR ANOTHER. I FOUND MY SELF OUT OF IT FOR 1 MONTH EVERY QUARTER OF A YEAR. THAT'S RIDICULOUS!!! LINCOLN/FORD HASN'T DONE MUCH TO HELP ME AND I'VE PURCHASED SEVERAL VEHICLES FROM THE SAME DEALERSHIP. SMH. I'VE WENT TO PRIVATE MECHANICS WHO BELIEVE IT'S THE TRANNY AGAIN, AND SOME LEAN YEARS THE THROTTLE BODY UNIT. NOBODY CAN EVEN GIVE ME AN EXACT ANSWER AS TO WHAT IT IS AND A SOLUTION TO MY SUV NIGHTMARE! I'VE ALREADY WASTED $500.00. ANYWAY YOU CAN ASSIST ME OR HELP ME WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS FOR LISTENING.
