What owners report
Brakes failed while driving. I could not stop. Thank goodness I didnât run anyone over. First time it happened I had it towed to the dealership- they said they fixed the problem. These are the warnings I got during the loss of my brakes the 2nd time: Antilock Brake Fault Yesterday at 8:22 PM Anti-lock Brake System Fault Yesterday at 8:22 PM Pre-Collision Assist Not Available Yesterday at 8:22 PM Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power Yesterday at 8:22 PM Electronic Parking Brake Yesterday at 8:22 PM Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced.

Was operating the vehicle around a slight bend at about 45mph. The brakes and steering then stopped working and was non responsive. The vehicle was sliding off the road toward a parked dump truck.

The Vehicle Dynamics Control Module (VDM) failed. This caused the vehicle to detect a rollover, which means th
The contact owns a 2025 Lincoln Navigator. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the sunroof independently fractured. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the vehicle was repaired. In addition, the contact stated that when retrieving the vehicle, the contact stated that the paint was scratched down to the frame of the sunroof. The vehicle was at the dealer for more than a month. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000.
On Tuesday, May 5 2026 upon entering the vehicle, my wife closed the drivers door at which time the rear windshield exploded. The vehicle is scheduled for an appointment on Monday, May 11, 2026 at Porterville Ford for inspection. Approximately 50% of the glass came out, both inside and outside the vehicle. If my children were there, they would have been covered in broken tiny pieces of glass. This vehicle has just over 6,000 miles since new and has never had any damage to the glass. I have researched online and there are many other instances where this has happened, often siting incorrect or too tight of installations where the pressure from closing a door shatters the tempered glass.
