The contact owns a 2002 Lincoln Navigator. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The check engine warning light illuminated. The fuel gauge did not indicate the accurate amount of fuel in the vehicle. In addition, the hazard lights failed to illuminate properly and the speed control warning light illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who diagnosed that the engine failed and the fuel pump and fuel system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 128,000.

When initially starting motor it revs high, and upon take off engine continues to rev high. After having the motor mounts replaced, the problem still persists! the dealership has now found a "knocking" sound in the engine and said it would need to be torn down. Since then they are now saying that they cannot duplicate the noises and nothing is wrong. Only a few days ago they notified me of the knocking noise, which I was unaware of.
