Woke at 4:00am to the smoke and fire of our vehicle fully engulfed in flames from the engine compartment. The vehicle was located in our driveway. It was parked at about 9:50am the day before..roughly about 18 hours before it caught on fire. My wife and mother in law got our three kids out into the back yard. Two of the kids were within 20-25 ft. Of the fire when they were sleeping. I went out to the garage and tried extinguishing the fire with a fire extinguisher, but was unable to do any good. I then hooked up the water hose and began using the hose on both the car and the side of our housewith most of my efforts on keeping the house wet since the vehicle was only about 8ft from the house. I got hit in the leg and chest with material that flew when one of the tires blew out. Later, the other front tire and windshield blew. The vehicle was totally destroyed, mostly from the front. The siding on the house was buckled from the heat, and the garage doors and concrete bib around the driveway needed to be pressure cleaned to remove all the smoke residue. Our insurance company took the truck on a flatbed and declared it a full loss. The fire department told me that had i not stuck it out and risked my life keeping water on both the house and the vehicle that the house would have definitely caught on fire, although i was told that i shouldn't have taken the chance.

The radiator in my navigator failed due to busted core tubes and seaking seams.i have contacted the dealership and they requested an invoice with reason for replacement.i sent this information to them and they never contacted me as to whether i would be reimbursed.i then called themn and they said they would return my call of which they never did. I then filed complaints with consumer protection agency, fla. Dept. Of agriculture & consumer services, and called other agencies.since these agencies said i did not have any recourse, because the suv was locally repaired and the lincoln/mercury dealer did not do the work i didn't have a leg to stand on.since the first incident the radiator has had to be replaced again, with the same problem.i am a little old lady 59 years old who does not miss use my vehicle, therefore i suspect i have been taken advantage of by requesting repayment of the repairs made last october.

Ipurchased my lincoln navigator in 1998. The problem i have is that the airbags filled up while driving and cause the vehicle to to swerve. The suspension stays in the up position. I have had this problem corrected once and it cost me $500.00 dollars.when the airbags fill with air the truck is raised in the rear to a very unsafe driving height that shifts most of the weight of the truck onto the front wheels. The first time i encountered this problem was at 55000 miles and now at 96500 the problem has occured again. I'm sure the dealer will not repair my $50,000.00 vehicle without charge, but i'm still headed for the dealership next week to get the problem corrected because it is to unsafe to drive in the condition it is in now.dt
