2005 Lincoln Navigator problems
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 2005 Lincoln Navigator problems
The 2005 Lincoln Navigator is a full-size luxury SUV known for its superb handling and excellent fuel economy. However, like any vehicle, it may encounter performance and drivability issues as it ages. This article will discuss common problems with the 2005 Lincoln Navigator based on complaints from owners, focusing on rust damage on running boards, air suspension problems, and corroded battery cable ends.
Rust Damage on Running Boards
One of the most common issues with the 2005 Lincoln Navigator involves rust damage on the running boards. Owners have reported discovering rust damage on the panels, which can cause the support structure to become unstable. Depending on the extent of the damage, owners may need to replace the brackets or the entire running board. Repairs for this type of problem can cost up to $1,500 in parts and labor.
Air Suspension Problems
Another common problem in the 2005 Lincoln Navigator is related to the air suspension system. This issue can arise when drivers forget to switch off the air suspension when using a jack to lift the vehicle. As a result, the air bags may fail to self-adjust, causing the back or sides of the SUV to droop and shake. This problem can also occur after the vehicle has been parked for a while. Although this issue can affect various model years of the Lincoln Navigator, it is most prevalent in units belonging to the 2005 model year. Air suspension repair costs may set owners back by around $2,350 for parts and service.
Corroded Battery Cable Ends
Corroded battery cable ends are another issue that may affect the 2005 Lincoln Navigator. This problem can lead to a weak battery connection, which can cause various electrical issues in the vehicle. Replacing the corroded battery cable ends can solve this issue, but it is essential to address it promptly to prevent further damage to the vehicle's electrical system.
In conclusion, while the 2005 Lincoln Navigator is a reliable and well-built vehicle, it is not immune to common problems such as rust damage on running boards, air suspension issues, and corroded battery cable ends. Owners should be aware of these issues and address them promptly to ensure the vehicle's longevity and performance.
