I traded my 2006 Suburban for a 2008 Navigator and so far, other than feeling cramped since I couldn't find the extended model, it's been a great car. I learned from the dealer that the water pump fell apart on the Suburban the day after I traded it in (at 302,000 miles, it's not like it was an unexpected failure) so I got pretty lucky! I had a 2011 Expedition-EL but it rusted out to the point of compromising the integrity of the cab by 2016.
I have a few questions:
1. The rear wiper will occasionally do REALLY stupid stuff, like start wiping the metal part down to the tail lamps and back up to about the middle of the glass. I've tried just moving it with my finger while it's off and then it does the same thing, but on the other side of the tailgate.
2. The manual says if you push and hold INFO then the outside temp will show up on the odometer where the compass is displayed, but nothing happens when I do that. Is this limited to certain options? I do have the ext temp button on the climate control, but I don't usually care what direction I'm going and I do care how cold it is.
3. Satellite radio will occasionally get in a mood where it acts like the antenna is loose and the station cuts in and out, but restarting the ignition fixes it. It starts when I go in an area with bad reception, and then it just never seems to get it back.
4. Has Ford ever made an Expedition/Navigator where the rocker panels don't rust out? the left side is cracked open, right side looks fine (Sorry, more of a rant than a question lol)
