Phoenix is demanding on a Lincoln Navigator. Extreme heat, stop-and-go traffic and long highway miles on the I-17, the 51 and the Loop 101 all show up as wear. Below are the Lincoln Navigator problems owners report most often, what each one looks like from the driver's seat, and how we fix it.
Most Common Lincoln Navigator Problems in Phoenix
Ranked by owner complaints filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for the Navigator. Counts reflect reports filed, not the share of vehicles affected.
1. Power Train

What it looks like:
- Rough, delayed or harsh shifting
- Slipping or loss of drive

What it looks like:

What it looks like:

- Overheating or coolant smell
- Loss of power or poor mileage

What we do: Engine and cooling complaints are best caught early in Phoenix, where heat pushes cooling systems and engine oil to their limits. We diagnose warning lights and check coolant, hoses and oil condition. See our check engine light diagnostics and oil change & maintenance pages.

What it looks like:

Lincoln Navigator Maintenance in Phoenix Heat
- Test the Navigator battery before every summer, and replace it proactively around the 3-year mark
- Follow the severe-service schedule for oil and fluids, since Phoenix heat and traffic count as severe use
- Inspect Navigator brakes and tires twice a year; heat and stop-and-go driving wear both quickly
- Check coolant level and condition, and inspect belts and hoses for cracking
- Service the A/C early; a weak system rarely fixes itself
- Replace wiper blades and check lights, since sun destroys rubber and plastics
