Problem overview

Some Lincoln Navigator owners report experiencing transmission slipping, which may be due to worn clutches or faulty solenoids, leading to difficulties in holding gears properly. Additionally, some owners find that their transmission does not lock properly, resulting in rough shifting and a loss of power during acceleration. Others report issues with constant air suspension causing the vehicle to rock, which may stem from leaks or malfunctions within the air suspension system. Potential causes for these transmission issues include problems with shift solenoids, throttle position sensors, or internal components, as well as inadequate fluid levels and leaks. To effectively address these concerns, owners are advised to check transmission fluid levels and inspect for leaks, as repair costs can vary significantly, with transmission slipping repairs ranging from $1,500 to $4,000. A thorough inspection by a qualified mechanic is recommended to identify and resolve these underlying issues.
