The Aviator was a great vehicle to drive but some, not all, had engine issues. I had one with an issue and it was impossible to accurately diagnose and expensive to try and fix.
In hindsight, I should have completely replaced the engine and driven it for another 100K+ miles. Another point would be to buy the extended vehicle coverage, which I never thought I needed based on positive experience with prior engines in similar vehicles.
Bad experience with the brand and Ford customer service.
