2007 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 2007 Lincoln Navigator problems
The Lincoln Navigator, a full-size luxury SUV, is known for its posh cabin, superb handling, and excellent fuel economy. However, like any vehicle, it is not immune to common problems. RepairPal gives the Lincoln Navigator an average reliability score of 2.5 out of 5, ranking it 5th out of 19 vehicles in the luxury vehicle category. Here are some common problems with the Lincoln Navigator, specifically focusing on the 2007 model year based on complaints from owners:
- Power Running Board Problems: Some 2007 Lincoln Navigator owners have reported issues with the power running boards, particularly on the driver side, which may work intermittently. Replacing the running board motor assembly or checking the power running board module may solve the problem. The power running board module is located in the door pillar next to the driver seat, halfway up in the pillar.
- Air Suspension Problems: The Lincoln Navigator's air suspension system may cause issues, especially when drivers forget to switch off the air suspension when using a jack to lift the vehicle. This can cause the air bags to fail to self-adjust, leading to the back or sides of the SUV drooping and shaking. This issue is most prevalent in the 2004 model year, but it can also affect other model years. Repair costs for air suspension problems can reach around $2,350 for parts and service.
- Corroded Battery Cable Ends: The battery cable ends on some 1998-2010 and 2015 Lincoln Navigators have been reported as prone to corrosion. While corroded battery cable ends are easy to fix, they may contaminate the cable insulation and cause serious damage to the vehicle's electrical system. Regularly checking the battery cable for signs of corrosion can help prevent these issues.
- EGR System Issues: Some 1998-2010 Lincoln Navigator models, particularly those driven in dusty areas, may develop issues with their EGR system. The filter on the EGR solenoid may get clogged, causing the system to activate when it's not supposed to. This can lead to engine stuttering, rough idle, or stalling. Replacing the dirty EGR solenoid filter usually resolves the issue on most affected vehicles.
- Coolant Leaks: Coolant leaks are common in some 1999-2014 Lincoln Navigators. Owners of affected vehicles report smelling a strong coolant odor from their SUV, frequent engine overheating, and an activated low engine coolant warning light. Determining the source of the leak can be challenging, and repairing coolant leaks requires advanced technical knowledge and skills.
It is essential to address these common problems promptly to maintain the Lincoln Navigator's performance and longevity. Regular maintenance and inspections can help identify and prevent these issues, ensuring a safe and enjoyable driving experience.
