You bought or leased the vehicle in California.

The problem arose while a manufacturer warranty covered the vehicle.

The dealer has had repeated repair opportunities, or the vehicle has spent significant time in the shop.

Why a warranty isn't enough

Your warranty vs. the lemon law

If covered problems persist after repair attempts, an attorney can review whether California's lemon law provides a remedy.

The manufacturer's warranty

  • Describes which defects and repairs the manufacturer covers.
  • Sets coverage terms, including time and mileage limits.
  • Your warranty documents and repair orders help establish what happened and when.

California's lemon law

  • May provide a remedy when a covered substantial defect remains after a reasonable number of repair attempts.
  • A qualifying case may lead to a buyback, a replacement, or a negotiated cash settlement.
  • Warranty expiration alone does not settle whether you have a claim. An attorney can review your repair history and deadlines.
  • When you win, the manufacturer pays your attorney fees — not you.

Common Lincoln Aviator Problems

The 3.0L EcoBoost V6 twin-turbo engine suffers from premature timing chain stretch and tensioner failure, generating DTC P0016 (crankshaft/camshaft position correlation Bank 1 Sensor A) and causing rough idle, misfires, and potential engine damage if not addressed promptly.
The 10R60 ten-speed automatic transmission in the Aviator exhibits erratic shifting behavior, particularly harsh 1-2 and 3-4 upshifts, along with intermittent shuddering at highway speeds that is often traced to degraded torque converter clutch material contaminating the valve body.
The rear suspension adaptive dampers and air springs (part number LB5Z-5A891-A) fail prematurely, causing the vehicle to sit unevenly and triggering DTC C1096 (rear air suspension height out of range), often requiring replacement of both air springs and the compressor module.
The Aviator's panoramic sunroof is prone to stress fractures and spontaneous shattering without any external impact, a documented issue that has prompted customer complaints to NHTSA and may constitute a safety defect under California law.
The 3.0L EcoBoost engine experiences premature failure of the high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP), causing extended cranking, stalling, and DTC P0087 (fuel rail pressure too low), often requiring replacement of the pump and fuel rail under warranty.

Your California Lemon Law Rights

Under California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, if your Lincoln Aviator has a substantial defect that cannot be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts, you may be entitled to:

  • Full refund of the purchase price
  • Replacement vehicle of comparable value
  • Cash compensation (cash-and-keep settlement)
  • Attorney's fees paid by the manufacturer

Lincoln Aviator Lemon Law FAQ

Is my Lincoln Aviator eligible for a California Lemon Law claim if the engine keeps stalling?

Yes. Engine stalling is considered a serious safety defect under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. If your Aviator's 3.0L EcoBoost engine continues to stall after two or more repair attempts for the same defect, you likely have a strong Lemon Law claim. Safety-related defects require fewer repair attempts to qualify than non-safety issues.

Can I still pursue a Lemon Law claim if Lincoln issued a TSB but the fix did not resolve my Aviator's transmission problem?

Absolutely. A Technical Service Bulletin is an acknowledgment by the manufacturer that a known problem exists. If the TSB repair was performed but the transmission defect persists, this actually strengthens your Lemon Law claim because it demonstrates that the manufacturer was aware of the issue and still could not repair it within a reasonable number of attempts.

What compensation am I entitled to under California Lemon Law for my defective Lincoln Aviator?

Under the Song-Beverly Act, you are entitled to either a replacement vehicle of comparable value or a full refund of the purchase price, including taxes, registration fees, and monthly payments made. The manufacturer may deduct a reasonable mileage offset for the period before the first repair attempt. You are also entitled to have your attorney fees paid by the manufacturer.

Does the Song-Beverly Act cover my Aviator's panoramic sunroof shattering issue?

Yes. The Song-Beverly Act covers any defect that substantially impairs the use, value, or safety of the vehicle. A spontaneously shattering panoramic sunroof is both a safety hazard and a substantial impairment of value. If the manufacturer cannot provide a permanent repair, you may be entitled to a buyback or replacement under the Act.
