New Aviator owner with concerns

Recommended Posts

 just brought home my new Lincoln Aviator Reserve with the Dynamic Handling Package, Reserve II, Tow Package, Illumination Package, Convienence Package and the ride with the 22 inchers on it does not ride very well at all.  A harsh ride and a ride that feels like there is a tire out of balance?  Rides like its on a wash board.  Also, the engine on start up runs rough for approx 30 seconds then smooths out to whisper quiet.   Is this the nature of the beast or should it go back to the dealer for a service visit?

Was the rough idle and rough ride present when you test drove the vehicle, prior to purchase?

Tires were road force balanced using a Hunter.  One tire the best they could get was 47 lbs, the other 3 were (3,4,10).  So they are going to replace the one bad tire.  The tires on the Aviator with the 22's are lined with acoustic foam to keep the road noise down.

Still have to get the rough engine idle issue looked at.

Windshield has tiny pits in it.  Must be a million of them in the entire windshield, looks like a haze.  You can only see them when the sun is low and directly at the windshield.  Looks like another forum member has the same issue.
