Aviator 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1,057 miles
August 9, 2003, my 2003 Lincoln Aviator started a rear end whining noise approximately a 1000 miles after purchased. The dealer was told by the manufacturer to do nothing. On 9/29/03, the dealer added a synthetic oil (lubricant) to quiet the whining. It did not work. The dealer promised a repair by 11/15/03 and 12/15/03. I will attempt to address this under Maryland's lemon law.
