 Lost of rear brakes due to the lack of a braking system where wear indicators (sensors or light indicators) were left off my 2004 lincoln navigator by the manufacturer. no sensors on the outer rear and front brake pads. this could have been a disaster for me and my wife if i was travel highway speeds on a road trip and the brakes suddenly failed without notice or warning. *tr

 I have a 2006 lincoln navigator with 99,000 miles on it. i noticed that there is a recall for the 2009 for an intermittent brake light failure problem. i have just begun to have this same problem on my truck. if i lightly brake none of the brake lights work but if i push the brake pedal all the way to the floor they all three come on. *tr

 2004 lincoln navigator was purchased august 30th 2004, on its first drive huston from dallas, the rotors heated and warped resulting in serious shimming issues, this was fixed by machining the rotors. second trip to vermont during christmas holidays from dallas, rootors warpped again and the navigator was shimming seriously, getting me and my family nervous throughout the 3300 mile round trip to east coast, driving on icy roads and through the mountains. dealership simply machined the rotors again, they admit that other 2004 models have had this issue but would not replace rotors. i believe that this is bad rotor batch that needs to fixed before family are seriously injured or killed. *ak
