2006 Lincoln navigator, with just over 100,000 miles on vehicle. Vehicle shut down immediately after giving an engine failed safety mode error on dash. Fortunately my wife was driving in the neighborhood and doing 25 MPH. Muscled it over to the side of the road and restarted the vehicle. This is about the 4th time this has happened in the 5 years we have owned the vehicle. The other times the vehicle was being driven around 45 MPH on 4 lane highways/roads. We had a 2003 expedition that had the same problem. Ford motor company definitely has a design issue that impacts safety and they do not want it known. *tr

2006 navigator would keep misfiring even after coils were replaced. Dealer first reports it was a valve. After inspection valve was not the problem but a burnt head was the cause. Head went to outside shop for repair but the shop says now that the problem might be lower in the engine. A new engine is being suggested by the dealer but the warranty company may not pay. Car has 44000 miles currently. *tr

2006 Lincoln navigator. Fail safe mode comes on while driving and shuts vehicle down. This has happened twice and also exact same incident to friend in different state with same 2006 navigator. Decided to report after I called Lincoln and they had record of my call in december 2009 and january 2010 but no record of the work performed to correct the problem or the dangerous incident. It happened again september 23, 2010 after it was supposed to have been fixed by changing a sensor. This is extremely dangerous!! Car shuts down and my wife was almost rear ended at highway speeds. On google search of "Lincoln navigator fail safe mode problems" there are 1380 results. Goes to over 2500 when 2006 is removed. During first "fix" Ford dealership replaced a sensor but the details are not doc

Was driving on the highway and the vehicle went into engine failsafe mode. Was able 2 pull over and turn engine off and restart with no prob. This has happened at least 10 more times since always on acceleration luckily I was not in accidents. Most of the shut offs have been in highway driving conditions at speeds over 55 MPH. After research seems this is hard 2 diagnose but Ford is aware of this issue. Seems as though it's usually the throttle body but can also be the fuel modulator. Other people have been in accidents I'm just lucky I haven't. *tr

Drove the vehicle off road, hit a severe pothole, air ride suspension has constantly failed and Ford has never repaired it. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 Lincoln navigator. While driving various speeds, the air suspensions malfunctioned. The contact stated that the air suspensions were lowered to the point where the contact could not steer the vehicle or make sharp turns. Allen visual Ford in monroe, georgia was made aware of the failure and replaced the air suspensions, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

The motor running boards, the aluminum piece that suppose to hold the running boards to the vehicle, broke off without any warning. How does this happen? I am driving, stop at the light and make a left turn, and all of a sudden I hear these sound like my running board are sliding out. I pull over and the entire running board is hanging out completely away for the vehicle. Luckily there was no other cars beside me. I had to push it back in and drove very slowly so it would not fall back out and hit another car. This is dangerous and could have cause a serious car accident. The running board needs to be checked on all 2006 Lincoln navigators as soon as possible.

Accelerator stuck full open when putting in reverse to back out of my carport. My foot was on the brake and the vehicle (2006 navigator) burnt rubber for two feet before I cut the ignition. The dealer checked and found no discrepancy on file or with the vehicle. *tr

The rear driver side tire valve core was coming out (almost completely). It was sticking out so far that I was unable to screw tire valve cap on completely. By screwing the valve cap tightly would actually cause the valve core to be pushed in which would allow the air to escape from the tire. I have been told that this is a common problem with the tire valves which have the tire pressure sensor attached to them. *tr

The dealer currently has the SUV and iv'e requested the car be replaced by Ford. *nm

During normal driving conditions, the car gave in rapid succession a number of warnings and the car began to run rough and shift erratically. One related to the stability control system and the other was a "etc engine failsafe mode". After restarting the car the stability control error persisted. The dealer replaced sensor assembly 6l2z*3c187*aa for ~ $1000 for the part and labor + the battery and indicated no other codes were stored relating to the fail safe warning. The fail safe warning returned a few weeks later and the dealer was unable to replicate or capture any codes over a 2 day period. *tr

Fuel gauge says zero miles to empty and will not take any gas more than a few gallons before kicking pump off. Gauge shows it's over heating but if you turn ignition off and turn right back on it resets and is fine. Codes come back saying nothing about fuel or cooling, but only something about speed control in the hub. Sounds like an electrical issue but no where to be found.
