2000 Ford Expedition complaints

I HAVE FILED A PAPER REPORT ON TWO OF THE ORIGINAL SET TIRES THAT FAILED. I WENT TO A TIRE SHOP AND THEY SET A 3RD OF THE SET WAS BAD SO I REPLACED IT. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DEAL WITH GENERAL, FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND THE DEALERSHIP BUT THERE PROCEDURE TO GET SOMETHING DONE HAS BEEN AN ORDEAL THAT I AM STILL WORKING ON FROM THE ORIGINAL BLOW OUT. I HAD MY 2 BAD TIRES REPLACED AT AT TIRE SHOP BECAUSE THEY SEPARATED,ONE ACTUALLY BLEWOUT AND CAUSED DAMAGED TO THE VEHICLE. THE 2ND WAS ABOUT TO BLOW OUT BECASE IT DEVELOPED A KNOT AND WAS BUMPING AS I WENT DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN I WAS HAVING THESE TWO REAPLACED CONCERN FOR OUR SAFETY,THE TIRE SHOP SAID THE 3RD TIRE WAS SEPERATING. I HAD IT REAPLACED. THIS PASS SATURSDAY WHILE IN ROUT TO A WEDDING THE 4TH REMAINING TIRE OF THE ORIGINAL SET STARTED PEELING OFF AND STARTED BUMPING. I STOPPED AND CHANGED IT WITH THE 5TH TIRE OF THE ORIGINAL SET. THIS IS THE SPARE. I ALSO FOUND THE BRAKE LINE HAD BEEN DAMAGED FROM THE ORIGINAL BLOW OUT OF THE FIRST TIRE WHEN MY WIFE CAME HOME TODAY AND TOLD ME THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE ALL OF THESE BAD TIRES IN MY POSSESSION AND I AM SURE YOU WOULD WANT TO EXAMINE THEM BEFORE I GIVE THEM TO GENERAL. THEY SAY THEY MUST HAVE THEM BEFORE THEY WILL CONSIDER A CLAIM FROM ME FOR THE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE OR ANY OF ALL OF THE EXPENSES I HAVE INCURRED FROM THE FAILURE OF THEIR SET OF TIRES. I THINK THESE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE. THEY COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED ME AND MY FAMILY OUR LIVES. I KNOW THIS REP

I HEARD A TAPPING NOISE IN THE HOOD. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP THEY STATED I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. *AK

I PURCHASED MY NEW EXPEDITION IN OCTOBER OF 2000. ON 5/16/02 I TOOK IT IN FOR MY SECOND ANNUAL INSPECTION (44,000 MILES). I HAD ALSO ASKED THEM TO LOOK INTO A SMALL OIL LEAK ON MY VEHICLE. I THOUGHT THAT PERHAPS THE PLUG WASNT FULLY TIGHTENED AT MY LAST OIL CHANGE. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAVE A DEFECTIVE HEAD GASKET. I WAS EVEN MORE SHOCKED WHEN I WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIR ESTIMATE FOR THE HEAD GASKET WAS $2100! I WAS INFORMED THAT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I ASKED THEM TO HOLD OFF ON THAT REPAIR UNTIL I COULD DO SOME RESEARCH REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN 3 SERVICE BULLETINS ISSUED FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE HAVE ALSO BEEN LOGGED ON THE INTERNET.*AK

I HAD TO REPLACE THE GENERAL GRABBER TIRES ON MY FORD EXPEDITION TODAY BECAUSE THEY WERE UNSAFE, ACCORDING TO NYB WHERE I PURCHASED NEW TIRES. THE TIRES HAD ONLY 23,500 MILES ON THEM BUT I WAS SHOWN HOW THREE OF THE FOUR DID NOT "TRACK" I.E. THEY SERIOUSLY WOBBLED ON THE BALANCE MACHINE. I WAS TOLD THEY WERE A POTENTIAL DRIVING HAZARD AS THEY COULD BLOWOUT OR SUFFER TREAD SEPARATION. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF GENERAL GRABBER TIRES ARE REPLACING THEM FOR THE SAME REASON. IF SO THEN MAYBE THIS SHOULD BE RECALL BY FORD AND GENERAL TIRE. INCIDENTALLY, I COMPLAINED TO FORD WHICH REFERRED ME TO GENERAL TIRE BUT WHEN I THEN COMPLAINED TO GENERAL TIRE, THEY REFERRED ME BACK TO FORD. THEY SEEM TO HAVE A "CATCH-22' SET UP BETWEEN THEM. *AK (DOT NUMBER: ??? TIRESIZE: P275/17)

THE #4 IGNITION COIL PACK FAILED AND WAS REPLACED. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON FORD 4.6L AND 5.4L ENGINES. I AM CREATING A DATABASE OF FAILURES FROM MULTIPLE USER GROUPS AND CAN CONFIRM MULTIPLE (UP TO FIVE ON THE SAME VEHICLE) FAILURES OF THIS PART BECAUSE OF A HEATER HOSE THAT LEAKS ON TO THE COIL PACK DIRECTLY BENEATH IT. MINE FAILED WHILE ACCELERATING ON TO A HIGHWAY, AND WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED SINCE THE TRUCK SUDDENLY LOST POWER BEING THAT THE #4 CYLINDER WAS NO LONGER FIRING. SINCE MULTIPLE FAILURES HAVE BEEN RECORDED, FORD SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR THIS AS IT IS CLEARLY A DESIGN FLAW. *AK

WHEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY, VEHICLE CUTS OFF WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING, ALSO LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD FLASHED ON AND OFF, DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM. *AK THE VEHICLE CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING DUE TO CRANK SENSOR FAILURE. WHILE DRIVING RIGHT REAR WHEEL JINGLES. VEHICLE CUTS OFF WHILE ACCELERATING, AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE RESTART AND IDLES UP TO 1100 RPM AT TIMES. CONSUMER STATES TRANSMISSION SLIPS, THE DASH WAS RATTLING AND THE PEDAL BUTTON ON THE LEFT STEERING WHEEL WAS INSTALLED BACKWARDS. *YH

WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH, I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING IS VERY UNSTABLE. WE HAVE TAKEN IN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND YET THEY HAVE NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE ADJUSTED THE RIDE HEIGHT TWICE, SET THE ALIGNMENT, INSTALLED NEW STEERING GEAR, IDLER ARM (DID THIS TWICE), PITMAN ARM, AND CHAMBER/CASTER KIT ALONG WITH OTHER CORRECTIONS. JUST THE OTHER DAY, WE WERE ON THE FREEWAY AND FELT THE VEHICLE LOSING CONTROL. IN FACT, WHEN WE TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE WITH ONE OF THE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE VEHICLE JUMPED OVER TWO LANES. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IF YOU CAN PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

APPLYING FULL PRESSURE WITH BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, MY VEHICLE CONTINUED TO LURCH FORWARD INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AND PUSHING IT INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAD TO PUT MY CAR INTO PARK AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE TO GET IT TO STOP LURCHING FORWARD. IT MUST HAVE LURCHED FORWARD 3 OR 4 TIMES INTO THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME AFTER MAKING INITIAL HIT. WE'VE NOTICED WHERE THE IDLE WOULD INCREASE IN THE PAST BUT NOTHING THAT SEEMED TO BE DANGEROUS IN ANY WAY. WE HAD A 98 EXPIDITION THAT WOULD INCREASE IN RPM'S AND LURCH FORWARD AND HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR.

SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE IN MARCH 2000, WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH ROUGH IDLING, TRANSMISSION NOT WANTING TO SHIFT, FRONT END CLUNKING, REAR END SUSPENSION AND SUDDEN ACCELERATION. EXTENSIVE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE ON THIS VEHICLE, INCLUDING REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION, YET NONE OF THE ABOVE ITEMS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING A VEHICLE WHEN SUDDENLY IT WILL ACCELERATE AND DRIVE ON ITS OWN. THE CAR CAN DRIVE AT 50 - 60 MPH FOR SEVERAL MILES WITHOUT STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE ENGINE, WATCH THE RPM'S AND BE READY TO PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND PUSH FORCEFULLY ON THE BRAKES TO KEEP THE CAR FROM PLOWING INTO THE CAR AHEAD. LAST WEEK I PULLED INTO THE BANK PARKING LOT AND WITH NO WARNING THE CAR'S RPM'S JUMPED TO 3,000 AND I BARELY MISSED HITTING TWO PARKED CARS. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT END MAKES HARD, LOUD GRINDING NOISES, WHEN BACKING UP THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE GOES OUT AND IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR HAS TWO FLAT TIRES. IT ALSO DOES THIS SOMETIME GOING FORWARD AND TURNING, SO IT IS DIFFICULT TO STEER WHEN IT DOES THIS. FROM THE DAY THAT THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED IT HAS IDLED LIKE AN OLD CAR THAT DESPERATELY NEEDS A TUNE UP. ALL THESE PROBLEMS STILL EXIST AFTER HAVING THE CAR BE AT THE DEALER FOR 39 DAYS THIS YEAR. BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE, I HAVE NOTIFIED CHINO HILLS FORD, FORD AND THE ARBITRATION BOARD THAT I WANT FORD TO REPURCHASE MY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE.*AK

WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AT LOW SPEED CONSUMER HEARD A POPPING NOISE COMING FROM FRONT END OF VEHICLE. * AK CONSUMER STATES TRANSMISSION MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN DOWNSHIFTING, DEALER REPLACED THE MAIN CONTROL VALVE BODY, TRANSMISSION PAN GASKET, AND ACCUMULATOR PISTONS. DEALER INSTALLED BEARING STRIPS IN THE ADJUSTERS FOR THE SUSPENSION NOISE, HOWEVER LATER FOUND THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE LEFT FRONT FLOOR BODY MOUNT. OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE WAS LOOSE, DEALER INSTALLED A NUT AND PANEL. TIRES MADE VIBRATION NOISES AT 65 MPH AND UP, DEALER REPLACED TWO TIRES DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUN OUT. HEAD LINER WAS SAGGING DOWN. LEFT REAR TRIM WAS LOOSE AT BACK EDGE, DEALER REPLACED. A CONNECTION WAS LOOSE AT MIRROR, DEALER SECURED. *ET

WHILE TRAVELING HEARD NOISE COMING FROM REAR OF VEHICLE. DEALER WAS CONTACTED, AND TECHNICIAN STATED BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, REPAIRS WERE MADE. WHILE TRAVELING REAR TIRE (GENERAL TIRE 17 INCH, NO DOT #) HAD A BLOWOUT, CAUSING CONSUMER TO LOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE, DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES. *AK *TT

ONE OF FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES, SIZE: P255/70R16, DOT: W2CUIRD030 ON 2000, FORD, EXPEDITION HAS CUTS IN SIDEWALL. THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 9400 MILES ON THE TIRE, AND IT IS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT FOR VEHICLE. CUTS HAVE AN ARC SHAPE THAT COVERS 20% OF SIDEWALL. *AK *JB

WHILE PULLING OUT OF PARKING SPACE AT LOW SPEED CONSUMER HEARD A NOISE FROM FRONT END. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED, AND REPLACED DIFFERENT PARTS, HOWEVER, PROBLEM RETURNED FEW DAYS LATER. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

NEW VEHICLE SUBMITTED TO DEALER FOR ENGINE OIL LEAK WARRANTY SERVICE AT ODOMETER 3973, 9402, 9565, AND 11,864. ALL MAJOR GASKETS REPLACED IN COURSE OF WARRANTY SERVICE.

REQUESTING DISPUTE SETTLEMENT BOARD HEARING FOR RELIEF IN THE FORM OF FULL REFUND BASED ON BREACH OF PURCHASE CONTRACT FOR NEW VEHICLE AND SUBSTANTIAL IMPAIRMENT OF MARKET VALUE RESULTING FROM INSTALLATION OF REMANUFACTURED ENGINE. SUBMITTED AS REPLACEMENT FOR ODI ID: 753031 FOR BETTER CLARITY OF PROBLEM.*AK

ALL THE TIRES I AM REPORTING WENT BAD WHILE I HAD SMALL CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. ALL OF THEM WENT BAD AS THE RESULT OF A SEPARATION. THEY ALL GOT BIG BUBBLES IN THEM WHERE THE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE REST OF THE TIRE. I BELIEVE THAT THE ONLY REASON I DIDN'T HAVE A BIG ACCIDENT WAS BECAUSE I COULD FEEL THE VEHICLE WOBBLING WHEN I DROVE, DUE TO THE BUBBLE IN THE TIRE. I FIND IT VERY INTERESTING THAT THESE TIRES ALL CAME APPART AT APPX. 25000 MILES. I HAD THE FOURTH TIRE REPLACED BEFORE IT COULD GO OUT ON ME TOO.*AK (TIRESIZE: 275/6017)

NEW VEHICLE DELIVERED WITH DEFECTIVE ENGINE RESULTING IN OIL LEAK NONCONFORMANCE. AFTER FOUR SERVICE VISITS TO CORRECT, REMANUFACTURED ENGINE WAS INSTALLED. PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR WAS FOR NEW VEHICLE AND ENGINE WHICH WAS NEVER DELIVERED.*AK
