This Year's Model Updates:

The 2003 Navigator may look like the previous year's, but significant changes underneath the sheet metal, such as a new suspension system and sophisticated new technologies, allow the Lincoln to continue to be a popular and respected choice in the luxury SUV market.

Pros:
  • Beautifully rendered interior, four-wheel independent suspension, roomy third row, gee-whiz gadgets like power-deploying running boards.

  • Worst Lincoln I ever owned - 2003 Lincoln Navigator
    By -

    I hav had and continue to have electricial problems,front end problems,body noise problems. I have owned the car for 4 months and it has been in the shop for almost one month. I have put in a claim with Ford Motor company and will let you know what happens.I also have owned 7 previous Lincolns and never had a automobile so bad. Had car towed when allternator went our, got stopped by the police twice when tail lights were out. Rear tail gate does not always lock. Gas gauge sticks, wheels in front end vibrate steering wheel,hun now in front end.

  • Big mistake - 2003 Lincoln Navigator
    By -

    When times were tough, I had to sell my 2002 Lexus LX470. But now I needed another V8 to tow my boat. I thought I would give an American made truck a chance. Bought one with only 87,000 miles at a reasonable price. Oh boy, big mistake. The radio and the temperature control work only occasionally. You have to bang on the dash to get them to work. In the last few months, it spent more time in the shop than on the road. My family got stranded by this truck so many times that Im ready to donate it. Piece of junk. No wonder the resale value is a joke on these cars. Im sticking with Japanese cars now.

  • It will leave you high and dry! - 2003 Lincoln Navigator
    By -

    Cheap car for a not so cheap price. Air suspension problems, hood hinges go bad, vehicle wont start on certain days (dealer cant find the problem) back up sensors dont work on certain days, electrical system is not right, climate control buttons pop off. Very cheaply built! Car only has 78,000 miles and its junk. Resale value is horrible. Only worth $7,000 (after only 5 years!) Requires premium gas. Door molding coming apart. AC burps when you turn it on.(all of this even with an extended warranty and constant service.

  • Nice to look at cost to drive - 2003 Lincoln Navigator
    By -

    Under Power,The radio which is part of the navigation system on the AM side picks so much static from the engine and power lines you can only use it if you are parked in the radio station lot.They have dropped two cup holders in the front seat area and storage pockets next to the front seats.The floor area in back of the front seats are not level my dogs falls in the big crack between the third row seats andthe second row seats.I had an 2000 navigator which was much better.cant get the same MPG as I could on my 2000 nav.

  • Paying for looks, not substance - 2003 Lincoln Navigator
    By -

    Problems include: alternator that went out 800 miles after warranty, torque converter and other associated parts needed to be replaced at 75,000 miles, outside door panels that vibrate on interstate, the memory on the outside mirrors have amnesia- they never go back to the same place after they are moved. 13.5 mpg (which I expected. If you are buying one, be prepared to spend some money at the service department.

    By -

    I have had my car for 4 months and it has been in the shop 7 times for various different things. This has been and extremely frustrating. I love my car I just wish it didnt have so many problems.

    By -

    lincoln gives free oil changes or service lucky for me because just about every service call something else needed repair, after driving 90000km I finally returned my vehicle. the vibration in the front end at 115km was never repaired even after the dealership had me replace my tires. yes after 90000 km front still vibrates. running board motors, frequently replaced. accelerator extremely sensitive, just keeps jerking your neck off dealer could not repair because of no adjustments. and the problems continued
