Model years to avoid

Lincoln Navigator

What it says about you

Opinion

Enormous, quiet, and considerably nicer inside than people expect when they get in. You enjoy that moment. It is most of why you bought it.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

23 model years on record, 682 complaints filed.

The years to look at closely: 2019 (seat belt). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.

What owners report, and when

Faults that dominated the complaints of more than one model year. Not the same question as which year to avoid — a car can have an ordinary number of complaints every year and have most of them be about the same thing.

  • transmission 2018, 2019, 2020 peak 48.3% of that year's complaints
