1999 Lincoln Navigator review from North America
"Great ride, but has defect in"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rust has started on the inside bottom of
each of the four doors on the seam/weld. After noticing this and then searching on the Internet, this problem has been occurring on both Navigators and Expeditions. From the Internet searches that I have seen, it has happened on the 1998 and 1999 Navigators/Expeditions and possible 2000 up to 2001 as well. Please note that this same problem maybe the problem
in the F150's that TSB 01-9-8 details
a solution for. I have added other web sites from other forums that relates this problem. The Corrosion Warranty will not cover this since the rust is
not causing a hole through the sheet metal. BEWARE! This seems to be a flaw/defect in the 1998 to 2001 (?)
Navigators/Expeditions.
PLEASE DO NOT BUY FORD PRODUCTS!
