2003 Lincoln Navigator problems

lincoln logo

The Lincoln Navigator is a full-size luxury SUV marketed and sold by the Lincoln Motor Company brand of Ford Motor Company since the 1998 model year. Sold primarily in North America, the Navigator is the Lincoln counterpart of the Ford Expedition. It is the heaviest production Lincoln ever built, and is also the Lincoln with the greatest cargo capacity and the first non-limousine Lincoln to offer seating for more than six people.

Lincoln Navigator production was sourced from 1997 to 2009 at the Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, Michigan. Since 2009, production has also been sourced from the Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville, Kentucky.

Background

At the end of the 1980s, in the United States, sport-utility vehicles gradually began to transition from dedicated off-road vehicles towards dedicated family vehicles, similar to station wagons. In 1991, the Jeep Grand Wagoneer (SJ) ended its almost unchanged 28-year production run. The vehicle had gained a famous reputation for its high content, featuring the same content as a luxury sedan. A smaller, unibody Grand Cherokee (ZJ) was induced during 1992 that offered new luxury equipment and class-exclusive features. General Motors introduced the Oldsmobile Bravada in 1990 and Ford later introduced the Mercury Mountaineer in 1996, convincing several other manufacturers to introduce mid-size luxury SUVs. As full-size SUVs such as the Chevrolet Suburban and Ford Expedition are highly profitable vehicles, the Lincoln Navigator was positioned by Ford as a full-sized, luxury SUV.

Common 2003 Lincoln Navigator problems

The 2003 Lincoln Navigator, as a part of the second generation, has an uptick in complaints due to its redesign, with engine and electrical issues being common problems.

The engine problems in the 2003 Navigator are not as extensively documented as in previous years, but the suspension issues are a significant concern for this model year. These issues are likely due to the newness of the 2003 Navigator, and potential buyers should consider other model years.

The 2004 Navigator continues to have suspension problems, but the number of complaints for other systems declines. Despite this, the 2004 model year is still worth considering if the vehicle passes a thorough mechanical inspection.

The 2005 Navigator sees a significant drop in owner complaints, making it a worthy choice for those looking for a previously owned model.

In summary, the 2003 Lincoln Navigator has common problems related to the engine, electrical system, and suspension. While the 2004 and 2005 model years also have issues, they see a decline in overall complaints, making them more appealing options for potential buyers.
