I am having continuous problems with my 2006 lincoln navigator. for a vehicle of this quality, i never dream of so many problem. i had my suspension system fix last year at the dealer. 1 year has pass now it is gone out again. i had my catalyst converter fix at the dealer about 2 years ago. 1 year later they are gone out again. now i am riding around with a bouncing navigator and a sluggist running navigator with plenty of fumes. i just don't have the funds for continuous repairs for the same service. do the mechanics know what they are doing? i am really frustrated with this vehicle and the service i have received. bouncing around in a 40,000 + vehicle is embarrassing. please help. i have to bum a ride at time. i have to travel , a lot and rent a car. this is getting old and expensive. the dealer want fix it because they say it is out of warranty, eventhough i have paid to have it fixed before. this is not costumer service. help! *tr
