I was told by a dealership that I needed a new engine in my Lincoln Navigator. Too find out after Standard Engine and No 1 Auto installed a new engine that all I really needed was a coil pack, appox. $120 fix. No 1 Auto/ Standard Engine said I didn't need a new engine and No 1 knew that but a new engine is what I asked for so that is what they gave me. Well this was April 2008. I have had my car in and out of their shop ever since. Today is Jan.30, 2009 My car has not run right since they installed the 'NEW' engine. First the belt was loose, they told me it wasn?t, I paid a dealer to look at it and prove it was, the belt was about to split after one trip from standard to the dealership. So I had standard tow it back to them. My A/C and transmission didn?t work because the hoses were not connected, all this on top of a loud engine knock. After all that the engine is still knocking just like it did the day I picked it up from them. After months of back and forth between standard and a Lincoln dealer trying to prove to Standard there is a problem, Standard/No1 supposedly installed a 2nd engine because the first one was bad. I get it back and the second engine sounds just like the bad one they had in the first place. So back and forth again with the Lincoln dealer and Standard because Standard cant hear anything wrong. Finally after months Standard takes it back and says they tore down the engine and this time it is a bad tentioner in the engine and Dave says its fixed and it sounds perfect now. When I went to pick it up the same noise is still there! Dave says the noise I hear has to be a bad fuel injector and that is no big deal. His brand new car sounds like that so don?t worry about it, your car is just fine. Well now my car knocks so loud that even strangers ask me about it. So now I have to take my car again to another mechanic and pay them to tell me it?s a engine noise! And then what take it back to Standard so they can FIX it again?
