| The shifter knob on my 2003 lincoln aviator broke off. the shifter was locked in place in drive and you are unable to shift into any other gear except the gear you're in. it seems that a very cheap plastic piece broke under the shifter knob and the dealer quoted me $1200 dollars to replace the entire shifter assembly. i have checked online and seen that this is a very-very common problem among owners. there is no recall for this issue, but this is surely a severe safety issue. i am not sure how many complaints it takes but this is a horrible safety issue. also, this vehicle has a whole array of front and rear differential issues along with a severe clunking noise when the vehicle is 1st put into reverse, drive or downshifts after acceleration. | |||

| My aviator was shifting rough for less than 24 hours when the transfer case went out. luckily, i had only oulked out of my driveway when it happened. the vehicle made an awful whinning and screeching noise and became impossible to drive forward. i was able to wrestle it into reverse to get it in my driveway. i live on a busy country road, this could have been dangerous for me and my 3 kids. i had it towed to the dealer and they quoted me near $1000 with no promise that the problem could be fixed. additionally, i called a week after i out it in the shop and there is a national backorder for the part that may or may not fix my car. i will be without a car for over a month, $1000 in repairs, and that is if this will fix the transfer case. if i opt to do a whole new case, i am looking at $3000. not happy will not buy lincoln again. | |||
