What Navigator owners report
Recent service brakes complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.
Brake lines started leaking and spewing fluid everywhere leaving me with out brakes on the highway. I just put new rotors, and brake pads on and they suddenly start grinding again yet have full pads on them.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, WHICH MADE IT HARDER TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS WAS AN ONGOING FAILURE EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED SEVEN YEARS AGO. THERE WERE NO WARNING…
IN REVERSE. IN A PARKING LOT, THE CAR ACCELERATED AND WOULD NOT BRAKE OR MOVE OUT OF REVERSE. HIT F250 TRUCK, REFRIGERATOR, JUMPED CURB AND AIRBORNE INTO DITCH WHICH STOPPED CAR. *TR
