I PURCHASED A 2000 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR FROM LAUREL-FORD DEALER IN MISSISSIPPI ON AUGUST 21, 2003. AFTER ASKING THE DEALERSHIP IF ALL NECESSARY MAINTENANCES WERE DONE ON VEHICLE MY FAMILY AND I LEFT FOR NEW YORK. I STILL HAD THE ORIGINAL MFR WARRANTIES AND I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN. WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE ON AUGUST 25TH THE BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON AND SUDDENLY THE LEFT REAR TIRE EXPLODED. MY FAMILY AND I FEARED FOR OUR LIVES. IT TURNED OUT THAT THE BRAKES WERE FAULTY, NO EMERGENCY BRAKES, NO STABLIZER, HEAVILY RUSTY LINKS, AND ETC. THE TOW TRUCK HAD TO TOW US TWICE. AFTER ARIVING IN NEW YORK, A DEALER, TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER SERVICED. THEY EXPLAINED IN DETIALED IN WRTING. WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I WAS ON VACTION WITH MY TWIN BOYS AND WIFE. I VERY ANGRIED WITH THE LAUREL-FORD DEALERSHIP IN MS AND ITS OWNERS. THE TIRES SEEM DRY ROTTED AND CORROSION WAS VERY VISIABLE UNDER THE SUV. SINCE THEN, I SPENT OVER $5000 GETTING THIS NAVIGATOR FIXED AND GOT VERY LITTLE SATISFACTIN FROM THE OWNER AND HIS DEALERSHIP. *AK

PARKING BRAKE
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON AN INCLINE, AND IN THE PARK POSITION WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE ROLLED FORWARD. THE KEYS WERE NOT IN THE IGNITION WHEN THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TRACTOR WITH A SNOW BLADE ATTACHED, THAT WAS BEING USED BY THE CONTACT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SNOW BLADE STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS FRONT END DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS CHECKED BY THE DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED BUT HE RECEIVED AN ESTIMATE OF $1,611.88 FROM THE DEALER TO REPAIR IT. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 27,371. UPDATED 03/08/11 *BF UPDATED 12/19/11 *CN
