I have a 2003 lincoln navigator .I bought it in staten island ny dana motors 2 years ago I have had it in there shop for suspension censors and bags over 10 times my warranty expired 30 days ago and guess what my rear suspension went out .I contacted ford over 10 times and I want to say that this has to be the worst truck and company I have ever had to deal with ford found on road dead go GM.
While driving in a parking lot a car pulled out in front of my 2003 navigator as I hit the brakes I felt my SUV drop from the front. The tire skidded and I hit the car that was pulling out. After the accident my truck was never the same .it was taken to the dealership but they said the warranty would not cover it.I have a 40000 dollar truck just parked in the driveway for the past 6 months I know mechanics that can convert it to to springs suspension for about 400 dollars but that's not the point I paid top dollar…
