Aviator 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 223 miles
With less than 200 miles on it, my 2005 Lincoln Aviator developed a leak that was dripping down through the overhead light switch near the rear view mirror. Dealer believes that drainage tube channeling water from sunroof crimped when installed at the factory. Dealer has seen other Aviators with same problem. This can cause an electrical system short since water was dripping into radio and dashboard controls as well as shifter. Water drops have also been spotted over driver side speaker on door where drainage tube empties to.
