Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Lots of room for passengers and cargo, handles well for its size, stylish interior, smooth drivetrain, extensive list of luxury features.
Cons
- A few low-grade interior materials, V8 runs out of steam too quickly, some confusing controls, outdated navigation system.
What’s new
The Navigator is now available in just two trim levels -- Luxury and Ultimate. Vehicles equipped with the Audiophile stereo now include separate tweeters for better sound quality. New safety features include a tire-pressure monitoring system as standard equipment and a Roll Stability Control feature (to help prevent rollover incidents) for the Advance Trac system. Sirius Satellite Radio is a new dealer-installed option.
Edmunds says
A spacious and stylish full-size luxury SUV, but the Escalade is more powerful and the Lexus LX 470 more refined.

2004 Lincoln Navigator Luxury 4WD 4dr SUV (5.4L 8cyl 4A)
I have owned my navi for 4 years now. We bought it with 30k miles and LOVED the car. The bells and whistles were amazing, it was a top of the line luxury SUV. Once my car hit 70k miles it fell apart!! Break Line ($900), plugs ($1100), transmission ($2000), air suspension twice ($1500), cadillac converters ($3000) and the mirrors no longer fold in and the rear window whipper doesn't … work anymore. I am so tired of putting money into this car. If you get one make sure you buy the extended warranty. These cars are know for having big problems. Now I'm upside down not only from the all the work I had done but now the dealership doesn't want to give me what my loan pay off is.... SADDENED

1. sunroof drains clogged and rain water leaked to fuse block...$1000.00 replace fuse block.
2.
sunroof would not shut.
track and motor needed replacing...$1700.00
3.
rear ac fan making flapping sound
4.
driver door lock/unlock button does not work
5.
outside mirror switch … to fold mirrors in stopped working
6.
tire pressure sensor went bad $120.00
7.
ac only blows cold for a while then goes hot on hot days.
8.
power running boards are possessed!

2004 Lincoln Navigator Luxury 4WD 4dr SUV (5.4L 8cyl 4A)
6 out of 8 ignition coils went bad $250 per cyl;
serpentine tensioner went bad $310;
muffler sound deadener shot;
trailer hitch rusting;
rear hatch paint bubbled at 50,001 miles;
rear heating/ac fan makes "popping" sound;
air suspension not sounding right...
CD player not working right....
and now, at 77,024 miles
transmission just went bad - est repair $2000.
For a vehicle we mainly … drive to and from work and Costco, this so called top of the line gas guzzling beast should not have these kinds of problems at 77,000 miles. Ford should be ashamed. Instead, there is nothing they can do because it's "out of warranty" and they're "sorry you feel" like you were ripped off. No they are not sorry!
