| 2006 lincoln navigator, 50,000 miles on car. car shut down after giving an engine safety mode error on dash while on four lane busy highway traveling 40-45 mph. coasted to side of road (no berm available). cars racing by. waited 5 minutes. restarted car and limped into team ford of marietta georgia dealer. i was told the throttle control body & motor asy #8l3z*9e926*a was bad and was not covered under the $1,000 extended warranty i purchased on the car in 2006. repair bill was $800 out of pocket. checked online and this is a known issue for ford expeditions & lincoln navigator engines and yet ford does nothing to fix. does someone have to die to get ford to repair these defective parts? nothing more dangerous than a car that shuts down in heavy traffic traveling at high speeds. | |||

| Whenever the car is washed or if it snows or rains the car experiences spontaneous electrical activity when no key or person is present using any aspect of the vehicle. for example, after washing the car, the vehicle will drive perfectly fine, but upon being parked, sometimes hours after being parked, the vehicle will then be observed triggering power seats, airbag warning lights, and clicking sounds can be heard. the vehicle has had a power window motor burn out and a wiring harness related to the power seats corrode and fail costing over $700 in repairs. we believe the reason for these problems is due to the windshield leaking on to some kind of electronic control device such as the gem module and then causing the device to short circuit and trigger various electronic lights/switches. more recently, the vehicle was left outside for two weeks with no use and several feet of snow fell along with some rain and the vehicle's battery is now completely discharged due to the electronic problems/moisture leakage. | |||
