Car only has 120,000 and started to bounce, and lower during driving. Got diagnosed, with detached air linkage which were the front, paid $430, 2 months after the moter stopped completely, replaced motor, nearly$600, installed and didn't work, relay was the other problem, changed relay, worked for a week, and stopped comletely! bought another one, tried to install it but is not working, another $100 down the drain! my only option is coil spring converstion, to stop with all the electrical problems! Lincoln should take more consideration in suspension, to make the car safe and driveable!

My 2004 Lincoln Navigator dropped down on the drivers side front. I took it to a mecanic and he said it was the height sensor in the meanwhile while they ordered the part and a week later it got to the shop I drove it and of course with all the bumping around the front passenger side dropped now the Lincoln really bounces I took it to the shop to get the sensor installed went back to pick it they tell me that wasnt the problem now my pump dont work and my front end is really low. Now im stuck with no suspension and something more than likely is going to happen either a blown tire because of the rubbing on the tire wall or a car accident. This is my daily driver back and forth to work I also am afraid to take my three children anywhere because of this. Im and employee of GM someone needs to do a recall this is a safety issue to the driver and other drivers as well.

I have a 2004 Lincoln Navigator and when it gets too cold the airbags have busted on me and the compressor. I have owned this vehicle for 2 years and 2 years in a row each winter my suspension has failed. My wheels are riding right under my tire wall and it is going to cause me to have an accident or cause further damage. At $1000 to fix these they should last longer than 1 year. Please look into this and recall our vehicles, the air suspension is supposed to provide a smoother ride not a rough winter.

Jan 2012 air suspension light came on after being in below 30 degrees on a trip. Car was bouncing and could not control it properly. Replaced air shock on rear. Nov 2013 - same temps and same light and control problem. After the car reached a warmer temp.(South for 3 hours) it no longer bounced and was back to normal. Service shop could not find a problem. Dec 2013 another trip up North and same thing.and same service find. Nothing. Jan 2014 in a warmer temp. Light came on and bounce came back. Service shop said it looks like the compressor is going bad. This problem seems to me is a safety problem and should be recalled and repaired by Ford (Lincoln). It is dangerous and certainly makes the car uncontrollable.

When temperatures drop near or below freezing, the air suspension springs stop functioning at all. The valve that holds the air in the air bags gets frost on it and can't close anymore. This causes the suspension to ride on the rubber stops. The tires rub in the fender wells. The vehicle will eventually rub the tire to a tire failure. This will cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle and possibly crash.

We have a 2004 Lincoln Navigator ( the second we have owned) the air suspension has never worked as well as the first Navigator. The ride was very good for the first 50 thousand miles then when it was cold it would take a while for the air suspension to warm up and begin to work. In Alabama it does not get that cold that many days but it was very uncomfortable on those days. Finally the suspension just stopped working and the ride was terrible. Took to the dealership and paid $98 for diagnosis. Indeed the air suspension was leaking. Could not give us a firm price since they would not know for sure if any damage was done inside the system. The range was from $1,200 to over $4,000. If I wanted to gamble like that I will go to the casino. After talking with several mechanics their recommendation was to install a regular suspension which cost us $850 including installation. Car rides as good as it did and we do not have to expect the suspension to go out again. We have heard lots of stories about the same problem we had and have heard a lot of people that have had to replace the air suspension 2 times before they gave up. Ford knows this is a problem and will not do a recall. One mechanic told us that the air suspension is the same one they use in the big Ford SUV and they never have problems with it. Ford and the engineers need to solve this problem. At this time we will not purchase a third Navigator even through I love the car.

The contact owns a 2004 Lincoln Navigator. The air suspension on the front of the vehicle was not lifting up properly in order for the vehicle to drive without any incident. On cold days the suspension does not allow the front end to lift up; yet, the vehicle had to be warm or the temperature outside had to be warm. The vehicle was not taken to the dealership for inspection which was taken to three other service stations who performed a diagnostic test on the vehicle. The manufacturer was called and stated that there were no recalls or warranties stating that she had to pay for the repairs. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 132,500.

The air suspension system has failed on my luxury 2004 Lincoln Navigator (124,000 miles). This appears to be a common failure for this vehicle based upon my online research. There are companies that sell kits to replace the entire system as it is apparent that not failing is not an option. Please see the strutmasters website (www.strutmasters.com/). this is an expensive repair/replacement and appears to be related to defective and unsafe parts. However there is no record of any recalls or change in the manufacturing process. Help!!!

I own a 2004 Lincoln Navigator. I have had problems with the air bag suspension system since I have owned my vehicle. What happens is when it gets cold the system fails to operate causing the vehicle to drop down on the tires. Ripping them from under the vehicle, it destroys the tires and could very easily cause an accident. I have had to replace the tires many times due to this issue. This winter alone it has been in the shop at lease 6 or 7 times. This system is no longer in use on the new Navigator. Ford has issued no recalls and will not assist me in getting this issue resolved. They said unless they are forced to deal with this by the NHTSA, I can no longer afford to spent thousands of dollars to resolve this issue which is clearly a mfg problem. Everyone I know who owns a Navigator with this system have gotten rid of them. Mine is paid for and I can't afford another vehicle.

Problem with the air suspension on vehicle. Had it replace with less than 50 thousand miles on vehicle, added 12 thousand miles in less than a year and the air suspension is out again.

- Acworth, GA, USA

The contact owns a 2004 Lincoln Navigator. After the vehicle was purchased, it began to fail. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer for repairs. One month later, the suspension failed. While driving at an unknown speed, the trac indicator illuminated and the contact lost control of the vehicle. She pulled over and had the vehicle towed to the dealer. The vehicle was repaired for free. Afterwards, the low beam headlights failed and the contact replaced them with two bulb mechanisms. The low beams continued to fail and the mechanic could not find any failures. The dealer stated that the wiring was not faulty, but they discovered that the ballets in the low beams were blown out. The parts were ordered and replaced by a mechanic. The bulbs blew out again within a month. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and they kept it overnight to repair it again. Through online research, the contact found complaints for failed ballets on his make and model vehicle. No one has been able to determine the cause of the failure. The failure mileage was 75,000 and current mileage was 98,000.
