I have a 2018 Navigator, more than 60k. I have no issues with my car. Regarding wireless charger: it does not work on Parking. Press D and it will work fine.

Note to Dealers (especially the one you bought it from): if I buy a car that doesnt start on that first day due to THEIR laziness or incompetence or shadyness or all three, I tell the delivery guy to take it back & cancel the order. Done.

this dude is super patient, a car is doa, they gotta take it back...especially one that cost so much money....

Something doesn’t add up here. Was this Navigator purchased used? Rebuilt or flood title? High mileage? He certainly left out some important details. All of these issues would be covered under warranty. Our Lincoln dealer rolls out the red carpet for its customers. Heck, they’ll even come pick up your vehicle for service and drop off a loaner at your home or office. This certainly cannot be taken as a credible review.

I personally would be leery about buying anything assembled during the pandemic. I’m not sure what the actual manufacturer date is on this particular truck, but with supply shortages, labor shortages and products being rushed through the final quality checks I would definitely be leery about buying anything without first seeing it in person and checking it out.

Not a fan of Fords but all those issues sound like something a manufacturer would fix under warranty without kicking up a fuss. You'd likely have similar issues on most newer cars

We are the proud owners of our own 2018 Navigator Reserve L and consider your purchase unfortunate. The L gives us sufficient trunk space. However, we have never had an adverse experience with it except the wireless charger and that seems to have been resolved. In fact all factory issues sent to our Navigator AP were expediently resolved. So sorry for your experience. Having owned Infinity models, I love our Navigator.

Own 2018 Navigator L and have had no issues - overall works fantastic, unfortunately seems like you got a Lemon

That’s super unfortunate. I have a Black Label Continental and though it’s been fantastic, I had 2 quality issues. One, the rear window screen stopped working and like yours, my backup camera is very wonky. They had a recall on it so I’m just waiting on the new camera. Everything else has been great. Much more reliable than my Bimmer.

The wireless charging pad issue is due to iPhones with MagSafe not being compatible. Any iPhone 12 and above will have this problem. I tried my Samsung phone and that worked perfectly fine.

I've been seeing the beautiful Sky Blue Navigators alot. Love FORD as a family- Thanks 2 my Dad!!!! Sorry you had such an experience. I was candid about clicking bc I didn't want to be talked out of my future purchase but thanks for sharing.. Super Patient you are!!!

Great review. I was looking at buying a Navigator today. This makes me second guess it.

his hair matches the Bigfoot truck that he showed a little clip of… Really cute!!😂😂😂😂

It sometimes so happens that you're unlucky to get all the issues on an otherwise good-quality car. I am surprised there is no warranty for vehicles in the US!

Great vid, will appreciate some info about those wheels/tires!!

We have a 2018 lincoln mkx for my wife and i love all the features but always have dumb electrical issues like the front camera not working intermittently, the auto highbeams not coming on for a while, the rear windshield fluid not dispensing the third brake lights burnt out… just to name a few, such a shame because it’s a really nice vehicle even has massage but these issues just make it feel cheap and make wanna get a old person lexus…

What kind of person buys an expensive luxury vehicle, notices problems, and doesn't have the dealer fix it immediately? Then just bends over and takes it when the dealer says some protective film voids the warranty. It was ~2 years old, so it should all be under warranty. Something doesn't add up. The camera issues seems to be a common problem with many Ford and Lincoln vehicles. Hopefully they have a fix for it by now.

I have had 6 Navigators and just bought a 2023 and its amazing. Everything works and its incredible. Best car I have ever had. I also owned 4 Porsches including a [2012 911 turbo S] and like my Lincoln way more. This 2023 Lincoln Navigator reserve is the best SUV I have ever driven. It basically drives itself. Literally, "with the hands free". I cant wait to wake up every morning to drive my car. It has plenty of room in the back and it even massages my back while I'm driving. Wireless charger is perfect and the apple play is easy to use. Kudos to Lincoln for making the best SUV every made. It is a delight to drive this SUV every day. Disclosures - none. I don't have any relation to Lincoln or any of their dealers. I don't have a youtube channel or make any money on social media. Lincoln have never given me anything except free coffee at the dealer when I take the car for service.

The moment the car doesnt start you gotta return it. This was probably a car that rolled off the assembly line on a Friday lol

What he experienced is what i am going through with my 2021 Aviator. Instrument cluster going dark while driving, car not starting, weird rattling noises in the dashboard area. The ride is not as good as the Navigator, mainly due to the large rims and low profile tires. The Aviator looks the part, but comes up a bit short with quality. I am now looking at Grand Highlanders as a replacement.

Did you even put it in reverse to see the backup camera? My backup camera only comes on when I ACTUALLY PUT IT IN REVERSE GEAR.

That’s so weird my grandmother got a 2019 navigator and it did not have the shaking mirrors or the blank backup camera or any of the other problems

How bout the transmission jumping if u put it in gear right after start up, the rattling sound from the engine or exhaust on start up, if youre on a hill & put it in gear does it make like a clunk sound when selecting a new gear?

First 3 issues - nitpicking. Fourth issue - why is the back up camera not covered by warranty or fix it out of pocket? Third and Fifth issue - the Ford Dealer sometimes does not do the work but they charge you for it - happened to me and my brother.

Brother you gotta expose these sorry dealerships stop taking the high road

These new Navigators look awesome, but they are probably a nightmare reliability wise. I am not gonna touch one later than 2017.

I think the seller took advantage of you since the car was being delivered. This was prob their worst car on the lot and had to get rid of it somehow. My family had a navigator as well and it worked great except the lack of trunk space. It’s always a good idea to hire a mechanic to check everything out if you are getting your car delivered to you from elsewhere. Good stuff tho Ryan👏🏽

Why wasn’t your Warrenty covering. I would of called Lincoln complaint line. I had a air conditioning issue. I asked them to buy it back and they told me within 3 days they would. So I continue to buy them. I’ve never had other issues. Pray I don’t.

Had an 06 Navigator back in the day, drove it 170,000 miles, no problems and loved it!! Was thinking of getting another one, out of nostalgia, thanks for saving me the time and money. Should have already learned my lesson with ford and my Raptor that’s been nothing but engine problems since day one!!

My Lincoln driver's side (left looking from inside the car) mirror did that...I took to the Dealer under the factory's warranty and Lincoln didn't want to pay... So I paid $300 because as "they said" they had to order a full mirror to change they couldn't take it apart to tight bolts or whatever... it had to be fully switched to a new one.

Never had any any of those issues with my Navi!!! Looks like you got a wrecked Navi, that someone had their janky shop fix..Seems like the Dealer played you for that amazing deal you got... Sounds like a Rebuilt title to me lol

Such a shame because they made a great vehicle. It would appear that you were unfortunate to possibly get a vehicle that was caught up in the issues that Ford had at some of their factories a year or so ago. I bet that's exactly what happened. What sucks is that the dealer leaves you hanging. I would contact Ford directly and see what they do. To be fair, Tesla also has some quality control issues. It happens in the industry. Again, unfortunately.

my dad had problems with his peugut pars trunk releas not working I don,t know why but it did work at the dealer but it would not work when we tryed to open it :( we got a new car so no big deal

Did you buy it new? I’m sure there is the warranty on the battery

You bought a used car without driving It and checking it out didn’t you.

@0:22 who drives around with their 3 seat up? Mine is always down because I’m Always carrying stuff.

I have the L reserve and it has its issues that the dealership can’t seem to resolve as well!!! The electrical system is a nuisance!!!! And the blinker system!!!! OMG!! The nautilus we had as a rental had the same blinker and Bluetooth connection issues as well!!!! Great truck… but for the price and “luxury” affiliation ford Lincoln should’ve done wayyyyyyyy better!!!!! 🙄🙄🙄

I recently rented a almost new Lincoln Navigator. Was a great vehicle except that it rattled. Super comfortable. Drove great. I wouldn't think a luxury SUV with 5000 miles on it would rattle already. Also not crazy about the idea of a 6 cylinder engine in a big SUV. Would definitely rent another but I don't know if I'd buy one

There are issues currently with Lincoln and Ford due to recall repair of back up camera. All sales are on hold.

I didn’t buy a black label navigator due the issue with the back up camera… during the test drive it turns black like you show in the video… inaceptable in a $100 000 vehicle …no way

I've owned 3 Navigators in the last ten years and wouldn't own anything else. No matter you're opinion, I wouldn't look back. I've never had an issue with any 3 I've owned and just kept up with regular maintenance.

I’ve had issues with my Lincoln Navigator Black Label L. They just put a new transmission in a couple weeks ago, the phone charger is doing the same thing as yours. Everything else is great. But the service sucks at my dealership.

So what car did you replace it with???

you are lying! Navigator comes with a 100% free battery replacement for the first 2 years and 30K miles

I drive a 2021 Toyota Highlander, my side mirror also shakes. One of the mirrors fell off in the car wash. The navigation system has glitches…and the wireless charger is useless as well. I’ve also had several instances of hitting the brakes and it accelerating. Toyota, renowned for their quality, also has its issues.

Ooh my gosh, I was getting ready to buy one. I use my back up camera everyday. Don’t want any of these issues.

D bag bought it for a tax write off.. then completed about trunk space umm fold the 3rd row you never use or need problem solved

great review, likely look at the caddy now

We have a 2013, and as much as I love driving our truck, that thing has SO MANY weird electical issues. I love the way Lincoln feels, but they are so quirky.

Was it bought from the factory or used?

Lucky guys having dealership, but I don't have it in Kazakhstan. Bought new Black label from San Diego and imporrted in 2019 and first one in my country, have the same problems. Additionally, front emblem doesn't lit and back door button is not working as well.

I would not pay for my own battery if that happened.

I must say, other than the "limp mode" fuel pump issue, I don't see much to complain about. The phone charger issue could if fact be your phone rather than the vehicle, maybe not? Something could have happened to the mirror at any time, and if someone was doing something with it to alter its appearance, well?? However they should cover it under warranty. The rear camera is a software update or camera replacement, again warranty. I am sure this was purchased new???? You have comp "pick up and delivery" use it and it takes no time out of your life. Look, with any issues you may have encountered, it is still the KING OF THE HILL IN LUXURY SUVS!!

Great video. I'm now a subscriber.

Never add or delete anything from aa new vehicle until the warranty expires. The dealer and the manufacturer will try to use any excuse NOT to honor the warranty. Also never buy a car without seeing and driving it, even if you are buying brand new. Last but not least, once you select the vehicle on the lot, take a picture of the vin number of the actual vehicle you selected, check the vin number on the paper work AND make sure it matches the vin number you selected AND the vehicle they are giving you. Dealers are very dishonest.

Went to a trash dealer, there is a technical service bulletin out for the rear camera all of that should have been covered under warranty if you car was under 3 years 36,000 miles

While I didn’t have such a nice truck, I did have a 2008 Expedition that suddenly went into “limp mode”. Not fun at all!

Honestly probably wouldn’t lose much money if you sold it in the current market

Since the car was bought new, you should have made Lincoln pay for everything. The issues other than limp mode are minor, but should all be fixed under warranty. Thats a 100k car. Also, you said you took it to ford? You need to go to a Lincoln dealer.

I have a Black Label L, plenty of storage space. One of the best vehicles I've ever owned. You bought the shorter version, I don't know what you expected...

Did you try the wireless charger without the case? overall, definitely got a lemon of a car. sorry to see it

I Have A 2020 Lincoln Navigator Brand New Off The Lot And Haven’t Had Any Issues. Yes The Trunk Space Is Not Big, But I Can Always Let Down My Seats

I have had none of those problems but did gert a letter from lincoln saying it was an issue and they will replace all the cameras for free 1 time and they will do it up to 10 years, i have the black label the charger was probably a bad wire i would guess

I bought a 2018 navigator 6 months ago. I had it for 3 weeks transmission started shifting weird ford has had it for over 5 months can't fix.

How many miles were on it again? Lincoln has a 4yr/50k warranty. Should have cost nothing to fix the camera, wireless charger.

I love my navigator. Had an issue with the AC system. Covered under warranty. Would definitely go back with another navigator. The Ecoboost turbo blows the Escalade away and many other models away,.

Thanks for saying the truth people with influence should start exposing cars like these taking money from the hard working folks

"it doesn't have a enough trunk space." Didn't you LOOK at the trunk BEFORE you purchased it? It is literally one of the two largest SUVs on the planet. Its competitor is BARELY larger on rear storage. But, you lose space for the rear seat passengers. We own the same 2020 and it is the "L" Black Label version because we knew we wanted the extra cargo space. Don't have any of the issues you mentioned. Our charger works fine with our iPhones. Down vote on your shallow review.

Lemon. What dealership was this from?

Unsubbed. Tired of these thumbnails that looks like you just got the shocker.

People always say that American cars are better now and there not lemons but Ryan story proves otherwise.

“there's no trunk space” go buy a semi truck💀

That’s unfortunate but that’s the experience I’ve had with Ford products.

I would have thrown a fux*king fit! Love the look of those lincolns though.

I’m not really nit picky, heads straight to KZfaq to complain about a Lincoln! 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

Then out of the blue, the car exploded and blew my arm off. I was like well, It's not that big of a deal,so i kept the car😂

If this had a V8 at least as an option, I’d be all for it.

at least you had issue with accelerator, imagine if you try to hit the break while driving and finding out that its not working

depending on your milage i would say everything would still being under warranty is just because the advisor or service manager just wanted to take advantage of the situation the wrapping of the light on the mirror unless it was removed but the person who did it would and should be covered under warranty as i use to be a Lincoln service concierge the bumper to bumper warranty on a navigator or all Lincolns are 4/50 and power train 6/60k so depending on their findings and mostly if you don't take the vehicle directly to a Lincoln dealer ford dealers at times cant do the warranty work linclon shops can just as of now chevy cant do all warranty repairs on gmcs or Cadillac vehicles

We should be careful on money usage,if you are not spending to earn back,then stop spending.

No warranty?

I was planning to buy this but looking at this I'm not.. definitely not.. reliability issue!!

I have a '21 Navigator. Worst car purchase in my life. I haven't experienced any real problems like you have, but problems nonetheless. They're little things, but things you must deal with each and everytime you drive the car. I won't go into the details now. I totally regret buying a Lincoln. There is no way the premium you pay makes the purchase worth it.

Why would you pay for a battery? It’s part of the warranty. Silly. I have never heard of Lincoln not doing all they could to take care of clients.

I mean you have warranty why didn't you take it back

Sounds like mostly used car problems. The space issue is resolved with buying a Navigator L plenty of trunk space

Nice video! I was planning on getting a Navigator I was already cautious but now thankfully I changed my mind!

These are all warranty issues, you should have gotten them fixed. Sounds like you are just chasing likes here. This is an amazing car with amazing service we get from our dealer. Any issues that arise, they will drive a loaner to the house and take the vehicle from us.

Seems like the major lack of cargo space would've been solved if the right version would've been bought, the L, which has plenty of cargo space with all 3 seat rows up. The wireless charging, while nice, doesn't seem like a reason to ditch such a nice SUV. In reality, someone with common sense would've returned to the repair shop and asked them to properly fix the charging. Or, I'm sure you could've bought about 10 wireless charger USB pads, to keep around the interior, for under $100. The shaking drivers mirror, seems like a self inflicted issue honestly. As for the delivery issue where they couldn't start the SUV, which did you volunteer to jump it yourself? If you would've let the dealer handle that, they may have been forced to put in a new battery on their own.

Traded mine in for a Tahoe. Night and day. So glad I sold the Lincoln

I’m not surprised you’ve been having these issues. Like mentioned from another comment Ford absolutely sucks for quality and inspection is basically non existent. On top of that your dealership experience is unfortunate, I would not settle for that but of course your very busy.

Is it sold? my wife wants it.

Probably should have chose the L version. Its longer and more rear space.

I bet this guy buys pants without checking to see if they fit and complains…

This is such a shame for how nice these trucks are. You would thing for a $90k+ truck they would work right. Our Denali has the same wireless charging issue, that is kind of annoying lol.

Hey dude how do you expect to have trunk space when all three rows of seating is up. This is not the Navigatot L. With the L yoh get a little more space when all three rows are up. This is just issues with this particular Navigator. Maybe the dealership didn't maintain it well. Your the first person that u ever heard mention so many problems with the 2020 Lincoln Navigator. Hey bro you should've switched out the Navigator to another Navigator. Simple ✊🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Your lucky my mom has one and the brakes lock up when your driving they are telling her it’s because bugs flew past the car.

I've hear a lot of bad stories of bad stories about cars made after 2019 iykwim. Best of luck fella

Hi, I told you when you made your video when you bought your SUV to buy either the Toyota Sequoia, Land Cruiser, or Lexus GX or LX Series of SUV's. Those are roomy and everything on them is SUPER reliable. The 2UZ series engine that's in these SUVs is bulletproof, lasts over a half a million miles. Plus they don't depreciate like a rock like Ford products. A fuel pump replaced after just a year? Come on! What Ford garbage. Today's Ford and GM products are worthless money pits. They're always at the shop. Avoid them at all costs. They will sooner or later leave your wife stranded on the road. I kinda was expecting you were going to make another video regretting your Lincoln purchase. And I was right. Ask your car buddy to advise you to buy one of these. They don't depreciate. It's a smart buying decision. You can buy one that's a few years old and save a lot of money. They're basically new. You can buy an extended warrantee but with a Toyota product, your just basically wasting your money. Lexus trucks are so reliable. Make sure you get one built in JAPAN!

That’s what happens when companies hire engineers outside of Cali 🤣
