2022 Navigator

View attachment 14690

This is what my modules looked like after building actually began. There are HUNDREDS of modules, this is just the very tip of the iceberg. Once you get a "tear tag" that typically means your build is just about done and is going through final inspection. If you post your window sticker, I can show you where there's a spot where it'll show your "blend date"- when your frame and parts have arrived at the facility but it's not built yet.
I started getting modules! I believe my blend date is 8-29 ... so, now I'm wondering what kind of timeline I'm looking at ... If the SEP is still in play, I've heard that's up to a 6 week delay, but who knows!

Anyway, ignoring the SEP delay, any thoughts on timeline once the modules start populating?

I think it took two days for modules to complete.
 
I saw recently on Facebook that the hands free part of Active Glide had stopped working for some people. It just happened to me this week. A nearby section of interstate that has always activated hands free only had lane assist. Anybody else having this issue on their 2022 Navigator?

You may be on the same group I am in. I haven't driven down I-55 up here since that update, I don't think. I will see if it happens to me.

If it is the same group, more and more negative and rude people are joining just to bash the Navigator.
 
If you don't mind sharing, about how long from then until you took delivery?
It took two and a half weeks to get from Kentucky to the Bay Area (arrived there a week ago today). I’ve not taken delivery of it yet because it’s still stuck at the train depot due to the trucker shortages. Very frustrating because I could go get it myself or have someone from the dealership go get it but the rail yard doesn’t allow that anymore. So I wait until a truck is available.
 
Hi chris. regarding 1. The hands free tailgate has been deleted due to ongoing computer chip shortages. You get a $55 credit, and it will be added later when the chips are once again available, according to Lincoln.

Good luck.
Thanks BBF2530, when I go to the options to configure the Navigator "Hands-Free Liftgate Delete" is an option you can choose to have or not have, so I was wondering the difference between choosing this option or not. For as much as it cost I want ALL the features even if I have to wait.

Handsfree Lift Option.webp

Hi chris. This is a question better asked of your Dealer reps. And they can answer it if they are competent.

Here is what we know: The Lincoln website configuration tool can not keep up with these rolling shortages. It is not necessarily changed day to day or even week to week/month to month. Yes, in an ideal world it would be, but this just is not an ideal world at the moment. And that goes for all automakers, not only Lincoln/Ford.

So...The Hands-free Liftgate is currently being deleted on vehicles due to a shortage of the necessary semi-conductors/microchips. Therefore, the latest information is best obtained from a Dealership (a competent one, of course).

If your thoughts are that "For as much as it cost I want ALL the features even if I have to wait.", then the best course of action is to wait until things return to a more normal state. Or...order now, with the understanding that your vehicle order may arrive with missing features, in which case you will need to start over again. So make sure you have it clear with your Dealership (in writing) that you can cancel your purchase, if that is the case.

Or simply wait until the economy and things in the automotive world return to a more normal state.

I am sure others will jump in with more recommendations and advice.

Keep us updated and good luck.

Awesome, also in the Bay Area so would love all your tips and play by play advice to find out where it is!

Thanks for the explanation, but it doesn't match the question. I'll ask the dealer as suggested (and I guess trust their answer) as this same option is in the 2023 order guide. I'm not questioning availability or delivery time, I just wanted to know what choosing the option does because it gives you the choice to select it or not. Like RSE if you select it you get RSE if you don't select it you don't get RSE, using that logic if I select to delete the hands-free tailgate I will not EVER get it because I'm saying I don't want it. I was just looking for clarity and fact checking what I was told.

My "as much as it cost" statement was me expressing my frustration as I clearly understand the situation every dealer, manufacturer, trucker, etc. (supply chain in general) is going through which is why I said I'll choose to keep the feature even if it means I wait longer for the truck.

No one knows what features will be shipped on a build until the window sticker is created. I was supposed to have the hands-free tailgate option but when the window sticker generated it was not included. No one really knows until the 11th hour.

Hi chris. You're welcome for the explanation...lol...and it matches the question about as well as can be "matched" without having inside Dealer knowledge. Thus the suggestion that you ask your Dealer instead of here. And I understood your "as much as it cost" statement. Thus my reply.
I could have simply stated "You need to ask your Dealer those question, not an online forum", but thought I would be polite and helpful, and provide additional information which may help others too. As the old saying goes..."It ain't all about you". 😂

In addition, the online configuration tool is just a fun toy for people to play with before they place an actual order with the Dealership. When you order the vehicle from the Dealership is when you ask your questions and truly find out what things like that mean, what options may cause a delay or need to be deleted for quicker delivery, etc.

If you ask questions like that on online forums, you will get multiple answers, some correct, some with good intentions but incorrect.

So as you agreed, ask the Dealer.

And for future reference, those of us who are here trying to help others will provide information concerning a subject which directly applies to a question, and sometimes indirectly applies, because it may help you or others too. So if all of a reply does not "match" your expectations, keep in mind it can help others.

Let us know how you make out and good luck.

For about two weeks, hands free was not working. On 16 Sept it still wasn't working and I started calling dealers and trying to get a service appt. On Sept 17 it was working. I called Lincoln via the Lincoln Way app number to try to get a software update history to see if they broke it a couple of weeks ago and then fixed it with a software update overnight. They couldn't access a history but did confirm that an update completed on Sept 17 so maybe that fixed it.

I'm pretty sure this option gives you the choice to forgo the kick feature. The purpose of the opt is to get you you're vehicle faster, as you would have to wait for the correct chip to enable the feature.

THANK YOU!!!! I was just looking for that confirmation. Short, Simple, Sweet.

Thanks TCrowe that's good info, but that wasn't my question. I just asked if anyone knew what the option meant and/or if it meant what I thought it did, but I got my answer.

Or you could have just not answered since you didn't know, that's also polite 🤷‍♂️

I asked what an option meant and got a story about supply shortages, WTH? I come to the forum the same reason you and everyone else does, to get and share info. The dealer is NOT the holy grail of info as they are not Ford so sometimes you get the wrong info or they don't know, which has been expressed in these forums NUMEROUS times. I actually got a problem fixed because of the techs in these forum, my Lincoln dealer and other Lincoln service centers that were contacted including the engineering team, were stumped. Also, some people in these forums have a better relationship with Ford than most dealers (them or a relative works directly for Ford). Like everyone else in these forums, when they ask a question it is usually "all about them" it's their post and their question 🤦‍♂️

I got the question answered, thanks @dlcorbett!!

Time to be adults and move on from this, we're wasting post and no one is interested in our back and fourth, Miller time 🍻

I've been watching this thread since March and very glad to see so many getting their trucks, the information is OUTSTANDING and it helped me decide which truck to order. I'll wait till December before complaining it's taking too long for my truck to arrive :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Hi chris. With all due respect to dlcorbett (since he was also making an honest attempt to help, as I was), "I'm pretty sure..." is not confirmation. LOL

Your false analogies about completely unrelated technical issues aside, you will get your confirmation on this subject from the Dealership, not here. Especially since these supply issues can change from week to week. That is your answer, whether you like it or not.
And if you do not care for the information in my replies, block me and you will never need to read them.

Only children and narcissists believe it is "all about them", whether it is "their question" or not (how childish). "WTH"...LOL

You began an unnecessary argument with someone who was only trying to help. And politely at that. All you needed to do is ignore the information, if it did not fit your "All about me" world. Instead you tried to be an Internet bully.
So now that we both have expressed our opinions about each other, be an adult and drop it.

So again, for the hard of hearing...If you do not like my replies or the information contained in them, skip over them or block me. Either way, Internet bullies like you do not get to guide the narrative. As you also just attempted to do with Tcrowe's attempt to help. And his answer does apply, despite what you think.

Good luck.

Hey, do you know what the D stands for on my gear shift? There are many gears on a vehicle, some are automatic some are manual, you should look in the manual or contact the dealer as all cars have different gears, some have a sunroof and automatic windows. That's how you answered my question but you're upset with me. I'm not the one name calling, sooo...... No matter how much you underline or bold it does not mean it's true, just means you changed the font on INCORRECT info. See dlcorbett, he correctly and directly answered the question, anyway children off to bed.

Thank you for forcing me to accept your answer, but I'm the bully 🤷‍♂️

And if you don't know the answer or don't understand the question, it's ok to skip the post and say NOTHING, no need to get upset, IJS.
