So we are on our second Aviator and have had a checkered history with the Aviator. Our 2020 Aviator AWD Reserve was bought back by Lincoln under the lemon law and we then moved to a 2023 model in hopes our experience would improve. While the recalls are fewer and the last year and half has been relatively trouble free, the first year was problematic and now gremlins are starting to show up such as: 1) Driver door latch does not always engage leaving the door not latching closed 2) Two open recalls recently announced 3) Map lights going on and off intermittently 4) Occasional rattles
The issues with our 2nd Aviator date back to the first year of ownership led to Lincoln providing the Lincoln Premium Care extended warranty until 100k miles or October 2028. Even though I have time with extended warranty coverage, my confidence in its reliability is simply gone.
All that said, for those who are considering or have moved away from the Aviator, what did you or will you consider moving to?
For everyone who is enjoying their Aviators, I am very happy for you and wish we experienced the same as we have had a rough ride with the Aviator over the last 5 years.
