1999 Ford Expedition complaints

BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER MIRRORS HAVE REFLECTIVE COATING PEALING OFF THE MIRRORS CAUSING SOME DISTORTION IN THE MIRROR WHEN SUNLIGHT REFLECT IN MIRRORS. MANUFACTURE CONTACTED AND REFFERED BACK TO REGIONAL WARRANTY SERVICE. CAR MILAGE BEYOND WARRANTY WOULD ONLY COVER PORTION OF REPLACEMENT COST. REJECT OFFER FROM REGIONAL. MY OPINION A SAFTEY ITEM DUE TO MANUFACTURING FLAW SHOULD BE CHARGED TO MANUFACTURE. REJECTION OF THIS DEAL MAY CAUSE THE FULL COST TO BE TO ME.*AK

AFTER PLACING VEHICLE INTO PARK AND WITHOUT ANY INDICATION VEHICLE JUMPED OUT OF GEAR AN RAN INTO CONSUMER'S HOME. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

"SWAY BAR BOLTS" THAT CONNECT WHEEL TO FRAME ARE MISSING ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT WHEELS. CONSUMER HEARD NOISE WITH TIRES AND INSPECTED VEHICLE.*AK

TRAVELING APPROX. 25 MILES PER HOUR, VEHICLE STEERING FAILED DUE TO BROKEN TIE ROD ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND BROKEN STABILIZER BAR ON DRIVER SIDE. VEHICLE HAD BEEN AT DEALERS TWICE IN PREVIOUS WEEK FOR ALL 4 TIRES TO BE BALANCED AND FOR STEERING VIBRATION. *AK

BOTH EXTERIOR MIRRORS ARE DISTORTED AND CAUSE SEVERE VISIBILITY PROBLEMS. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

FROM BOTH REAR VIEW MIRRORS REFLECTION IS COMING OFF, LEAVING MIRRORS BLACK. UNABLE TO SEE OUT OFF THEM. DEALER CONTACTED.*AK

THE ENGINE STARTS NORMALLY AFTER THE KEY IS TURNED BUT DIES WHEN I SHIFT INTO GEAR. AFTER THE FIRST FAILURE, THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED DIAGNOSTICS. THE TESTS DID NOT SHOW ANY ABNORMALITIES. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE FAULTY PART THEREFORE COULD NOT REPLACE ANYTHING. THEY SAID IT COULD JUST BE A FLUKE AND MIGHT NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS WAS WHILE THE TRUCK WAS UNDER MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY. THE SECOND FAILURE OCCURED TWO DAYS AGO, APPROX. 6 MONTHS AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT. I WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED ON MY OWN AND DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER. AGAIN, THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY FAULTY PARTS. THE VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF MANUFACTURER WARRENTY BUT IS UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THE REPAIR SHOP SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT JUST START REPLACING PARTS WITHOUT A CLEAR CUT DIAGNOSTIC BECASUE THE INSURER WOULD NOT PAY. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANY DISTANCE FROM MY HOME OR OFFICE IN CASE THE DEFECT STALLS THE CAR AGAIN OR MANIFESTS ITSELF IN SOME OTHER, MORE DESTRUCTIVE WAY. I CANCELLED MY TRIP FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY AND AM WAITING ON A DEALER CALL BACK. I AM ASSUMING THIS IS A GLITCH IN A COMPUTER CHIP OR SOMETHING RELATIVELY MINOR, BUT DIFFICULT TO FIND. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM IS A MAJOR ONE IN MY LIFE AS I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER HAS BEEN RESPONSIVE AND IS RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT KNOW IF THEY HAVE ACCESS TO A DATA BASE OF OTHER EXPEDITION/F110 OWNERS WHO MAY HAVE HAD THIS SAME

IS FORD TRYING TO RECOVER MONEY FROM THE EXPLORER/FIRESTONE TRAGEDY OR WHAT? YOU WOULD THINK THAT THEY WOULD HAVE LEARNED. IT IS SHAMEFUL THAT A HIGH DOLLAR VEHICLE LIKE THE EXPEDITION HAS BECOME A HIGH MAINTENANCE LIABILITY. WE HAVE REPAIRED THIS GASKET VALVE COVER THREE TIMES AT $1800.00 EACH. IT IS EMBARRASSING TO DRIVE SUCH A NICE VEHICLE THAT IS POLLUTING THE AIR WITH OIL SMELLS AND SMOKE. THE VEHICLES ARE SLUGGISH AND IT WILL NOT BE LONG BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. I PRAY DAILY THAT IT IS NOT ME, MY CHILDREN AND FOSTER CHILDREN THAT I TRANSPORT FOR MY JOB. MY LOCAL COUNTY GOVERNMENT HAS PURCHASED A FLEET OF EXPEDITIONS AND EACH ONE HAS BEEN REPAIRED AT LEAST ONCE. COME ON FORD STEP UP TO THE PLATE. A OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE. MY GRANDFATHER HATED FORD PRODUCTS AND STATED THAT FORD MEANT FOUND ON ROAD DEAD. UNFORTUNATELY NOW THE CUSTOMERS ARE THE ONES THAT ARE FOUND ON ROAD DEAD BECAUSE OF FAULTY EQUIPMENT AND THE LACK OF REGARD FOR THE COMMON CITIZEN. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR MY CAR TO BURST INTO FLAMES AND MY KIDS ARE SCARED THAT I CAN'T GET THEM OUT OF THE THIRD ROW SEATBELTS BEFORE THEY PARISH IN A BURNING VEHICLE. I AM A SOCIAL WORKER WITH A DEMANDING SCHEDULE AND A MODEST SALARY AND I CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIRS. SO MANY ABUSES AND NEGLECTED CHILDREN LIVES DEPEND ON ME AND ALL I AM ASKING IS THAT I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT I CAN DEPEND ON TO GET ME THERE. DO THE RIGHT THING. RECALL!!!!*AK

VIBRATING FEELS LIKE FROM RR RIGHT SIDE, AT SPEEDS OF 50-60 MPH, DRIVESHAFT REPLACED 2 TIMES, FIXED SLIPPED YOKE 1 TIME, UNIVERSAL REPLACED BY PRIVATE GARAGE TRYING TO REPAIR PROBLEM AND FROD DEALER PAID FOR REPAIR BUT THIS DID NOT SOLVE PROBLEM. REAR TRANSFER CASE HAS BEGUN TO LEAK, FIXED ONCE IN FEB 2002 AND CURRENTLY BEING FIXED AGAIN. ODOMETER DOES NOT ALWAYS COME ON WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE BY THEMSELVES, BACK WIPER ONLY WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT. ENGINE HAS IDLED ROUGH AND HAS STALLED AT VERY LOW COAST (WHEN PARKING) IN BOTH FORWARD AND REVERSE. DOOR AJAR SWITCH WOULD NOT COME ON OR GO OFF WHEN IT DID GO ON FOR LENGTH OF TRIP. IGNITION LOCK WOULD NOT LOCK,AND STICKS. RIGHT FRONT DOOR LOCK WOULD NOT UNLOCK. DRIVER WINDOW SLAMS WHEN GOING UP. CLUNKING NOISE WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE.TICKING ENGINE NOISE WHEN STARTING VEHICLE. MOST PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN SOLVED, BUT NOT THE VIBRATING IN REAR END. THIS HAS EXISTED FROM THE TIME WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK, WE HAVE BEEN TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, HAVE BEEN TOLD SLIPPED YOKE, DRIVESHAFT LOOSE, DRIVESHAFT UNBALANCED, AND NOW THE TIRES HAD DEBRIS IN THEM, IN WHICH THEY HAD A PUT ON A MONTH PRIOR TO IT BEING BACK IN THEIR GARAGE FOR THE VIBRATING. FORD OUGHTA BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR DOING THIS AND CAUSING THIS KIND OF STRESS. I HAVE 3 YEARS LEFT TO PAY ON THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE BEEN THROUGH ALMOST EVERYTHING WITH IT, NOW THAT THE WARRANTY IS UP I GET TO PAY FOR THE SAME REPAIRS HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AGAIN?

I DROVE INTO THE DRIVEWAY, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND REMOVED THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION. MY 2 YEAR OLD CHILD CLIMBED INTO THE FRONT SEAT AND PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. THE CAR ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND HIT A VAN AT THE BOTTOM. I JUMPED IN AS THE CAR WAS ROLLING BUT COULD NOT STOP THE CAR IN TIME. THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH A BRAKE SHIFT INTERLOCK IN WHICH YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE ABLE TO REMOVE THE TRANSMISSION FROM PARK WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE AND HAVING THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION AND NEITHER HAPPENED.

RETAINING CABLE THAT HOLDS SPARE TIRE SNUG AGAINST UNDERCARRIAGE FAILED IN APPARENT OVERLOAD; CABLE WAS SEPARATED AT POINT WHERE IT ATTACHED TO METALLIC END KEEPER, AND WHERE IT PASSES THRU CROSSPIECE THAT APPLIES PRESSURE TO TIRE RIM. CRANK MECHANISM WHICH JACK HANDLE ATTACHES TO AND IS USED TO RAISE/LOWER SPARE TIRE FROM ITS POSITION UNDER THE VEHICLE, IS SUPPOSED TO (ACCORDING TO OWNER'S MANUAL) "RATCHET" WHEN TIRE IS SNUGGED AGAINST UNDERCARRIAGE, AND "IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OVERTIGHTEN." SUSPECT RATCHETING MECHANISM NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, ALLOWING EXCESSIVE PRESSURE TO BE APPLIED TO CABLE, PRECIPITATING FAILURE---OR CABLE IS SUB-STANDARD. NO SIGNS OF RUST/CORRISION.IRE AND RIM. DEALER HAD REPLACED SPARE TIRE 10/2001 DURING TIRE RECALL/REPLACEMENT, OTHERWISE, THE MECHANISH HAD NEVER BEEN USED. OF GREAT IMPORTANCE: THERE IS NO REDUNDANCY IN SYSTEM; IT IS A SINGLE-POINT FAILURE. IF CABLE FAILS, TIRE COULD FALL DIRECTLY ONTO ROADWAY INTO ON-COMING TRAFFIC, OR CAUSE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL IF IT WEDGES UNDER VEHICLE AND ROADWAY. *AK

THE RIGHT SIDE HEAD GASKET IS LEAKING OIL. MY DEALER TOLD ME THEY HAVE HAD MANY OF THESE FAILURES FOR THIS MODEL. WITH ONLY 27000 MILES ON AN EXPENSIVE VEHICLE LIKE THIS, IT SHOULDN'T BE LEAKING OIL ALL OVER MY GARAGE FLOOR. THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY EXPIRED 3 WEEKS AGO AND THE DEALER AS WELL AS FORD MOTOR COMPANY SAID I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. I AM OUTRAGED AND WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO ORDER A RECALL. WE ALL KNOW FORD MOTOR COMPANY WILL NOT RECALL THIS DEFECT ON THEIR OWN!*AK

REAR WINDSHIELD WIPER OPERATE EXTREMELY INTERMITENTLY. *AK

BOTH FRONT STABILIZER LINKS BROKEN AND MISSING. THIS IS THE THIRD FORD EXPIDITION OWNED PERSONALLY OR BY OUR FIRM THAT HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE.*AK

CAR STALLS WITHIN 2 MINUTES ON A NOSE DOWN INCLINE WITH 1/3 OF TANK OF FUEL AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO RESTART. IT IS AS IF IT RUNS OUT OF FUEL.

DURING CHRISTMAS WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN, WE NOTICED THAT THE TRUCK FELT SLUGGISH AND NON-REPONSIVE TO ACCELERATION ATTEMPTS. AT WHICH TIME IT WAS NOTICED ON THE DRIVEWAY THAT A OIL LEAK HAD BEGUN. WE TOOK THE EXPEDITION INTO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR A SERVICE EVALUATION. WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE HEAD GASKET HAD BEEN BLOWN. WE DECIDED TO GET A SECOND OPINION BY A RESPECTED INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO GAVE US THE SAME PROGNOSIS. WE AGAIN CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THE COST OF THE REPAIR COULD BE NEGOTIATED LOWER THAN THE $1,850. ESTIMATE. A FORD MECHANIC MENTIONED THAT A SPECIAL PLAN MIGHT BE AVAILABLE, BY EXTENDING THE WARRANTY DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE FAILURE. THAT REQUEST WAS REJECTED. IN TRYING TO TALK WITH A FORD FACTORY SERVICE MANAGER, HE WOULDN'T TALK WITH ME ABOUT THE PROBLEM NOR DID WE RECEIVE ANY ADDITIONAL HELP. IN PURCHASING A USED VEHICLE, I REALIZE THERE IS A RISK OF FAILURE, BUT 7 MONTHS & 14,000 MILES LATER, TO PAYOUT CLOSE TO $2,000!, THAT'S TOO EXTREME. A HEAD GASKET SHOULD NOT FAIL THIS SOON INTO A VEHICLE'S LIFE. I'VE NOTICED THAT FORD'S HAVE HAD A RECENT HISTORY OF HEAD GASKET PROBLEMS AND WE WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE "RECALLED" AND TO BE REINBURSED FOR THIS EXPENSE. THANK YOU. *AK

FINALLY RECONIZED AS BAD HEAD AND GASKET REPLACED STILL WAS LEAKING THEN I TOLD I NEEDED A TOTAL ENGINE REPLACEMENT! NOW ITS OUTTA WARRENTY AND MY PROBLEM ACCORDING TO FORD DEALERSHIP. EVEN THOUGH HAD IT IN FOR BURNING OIL SMELL WHEN UNDER 36,000 (DOT NUMBER: NA TIRESIZE: 275R16)
