2007 Ford Expedition complaints

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 FORD EXPEDITION MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, THE VEHICLE THEN STARTED TO SHAKE AND SHUTTER, AT THAT POINT THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES WHILE IT MADE A RATTLING SOUND, IT LASTED LESS THAN A MINUTE BUT FELT LIKE AN ETERNITY. WHILE I WAS AFRAID, I EASED OFF THE GAS TO LET IT SLOW DOWN, THEN I TRIED TO APPLY LIGHT PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES TO AVOID BEING IN A ACCIDENT, THEN THE VEHICLE PICKED UP AND RESPONDED AS NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 OCCASIONS. VERY FRIGHTENING!!! MY MILEAGE IS ONLY AT 44,900.00 WHEN IT FIRST OCCURRED MY MILEAGE WAS AROUND 38,000 MILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD EXHIBIT SUDDEN ACCELERATION SPORADICALLY. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE JULY 2008. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE DEALER CONTINUED TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE A FAILURE WITHIN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED BY A FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,538 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 77,335.

THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO IDLE REAL ROUGH TO THE POINT OF BOUNCING IN AN UNCONTROLLED MANNER. A KNOCKING NOISE STARTED COMING FROM THE ENGINE. WHEN YOU TRIED TO INCREASE SPEED TWO CYLINDERS MISSED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY, IT CAUSED THE OIL TO BE DISTRIBUTED UNEVENLY THROUGH THE ENGINE AND THE ENGINE TO HEAT UNEVENLY. THIS STARVATION OF OIL OVER TIME TO THE ENGINE ALLOWED FOR METAL TO SHRED AND CONTAMINATE THE ENGINE AND THE ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED IN A 5 YEAR OLD CAR. IF THE ENGINE IS NOT REPLACED THE CONDITIONS WOULD CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY AND THE OUTCOME IS UNKNOWN. AFTER INVESTIGATION INTO THE PROBLEM I LEARNED THAT FORD HAD SENT OUT A TECHNICAL ADVISORY BULLETIN TO HELP SERVICE DEPARTMENTS IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM SO OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT A ONE TIME BASED FAILURE. *TR

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2007 FORD EXPEDITION EDDIE BAWER, THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. LAST YEAR THE FORD DEALERSHIP CHANGED THE HOOD SINCE IT WAS RUSTING. NOW THE TAIL GATE IS RUSTING AND THE PAINT BUBBLING, BUT FORD HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TAILGATE. I LIVE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA AND THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN UP NORTH OR NEAR THE COAST. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE RUST LIKE THIS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, THE FRONT DRIVER, REAR AND PASSENGER FRONT DOOR HANDLES FRACTURED, CAUSING THE CONTACT TO HAVE TO OPEN THE WINDOW AND OPEN THE DOOR WITH THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED HIM THAT HE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE DOOR HANDLES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000. UPDATED 12/16/11 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THREE OUT FOUR DOOR HANDLES FAILED WHICH WERE MADE OUT OF CHEAP PLASTIC. A FEW MONTHS AGO, BOTH FRONT REGULATORS FOR THE POWER WINDOWS FAILED. UPDATED 12/23/11

2 FRONT WINDOW REGULATORS WENT OUT 1 WEEK APART IN AUG OF 2011. THE BACK ONES ARE STARTING TO HAVE PROBLEMS AS WELL. *TR

THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT ON OUR 2007 FORD EXCURSION WHILE BEING OPERATED. WHEN EXAMINED, THE MECHANIC STATED THAT WE WERE LUCKY THE VEHICLE DIDN'T CATCH FIRE OR BLOW UP SINCE THE WIRING BURNED OUT ON THE FUEL PUMP IN THE FUEL TANK. (I HAVE PICTURES OF THE FUEL PUMP THAT WAS REMOVED). SOMEONE NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THESE FUEL PUMPS AND DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE WIRING TO BURN UP.

MY 2007 FORD EXPEDITION EDDIE BAUER EDITION HAS ALWAYS HAD A PULSE ON THE BRAKE YOU COME TO A STOP AND IT WILL STOP AND GO AT FIRST IT WAS NOT BAD NOW IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR

2007 FORD EXPEDITION 119 WB. MY FUEL PUMP STOPPED WORKING. WHEN I PULLED IT OUT OF THE GAS TANK I WAS SHOCKED. ONE CONNECTION HAD BEEN BURNED AND MELTED AWAY. I WOULD THINK THAT ANYTHING GETTING THAT HOT TO MELT THE PLASTIC AND HAVE BURN MARKS ON IT INSIDE A GAS TANK WOULD BE REALLY BAD. I HAVE PICTURES. *KB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT HIS RESIDENCE, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED REGARDING THE FAILURE, BUT THE CONTACT HEARD THAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN A VEHICLES SPEED CONTROL FAILURE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

OUR 2007 FORD EXPEDITION WAS SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY, WHEN OUR NEIGHBOR HEARD A LOUD POP NOISE. WHEN HE LOOKED, HE SAW THAT OUR BACK LEFT WINDOW HAD SHATTERED--FOR NO REASON. THIS IS THE 2ND WINDOW TO SHATTER FOR NO REASON. LUCKILY OUR KIDS WERE NOT IN IT, OR THEY COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. WE WILL NOW HAVE TO REPLACE THE 2ND WINDOW IN OUR TRUCK IN LESS THAN A YEAR FOR THEM SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERING. *TR

WE PURCHASED A NEW 2007 INAUGURAL MODEL OF THE EXPEDITION EL. OUR VEHICLE SEATS 8 AND WE ARE A FAMILY OF 7. ONE MIDDLE SEAT IS GENERALLY FOLDED OUT OF USE, OCCASIONALLY USED FOR A CHILD, RARELY USED FOR AN ADULT. WHILE ON A DAY TRIP IN MARCH MY AVERAGE SIZED BROTHER SAT IN THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE MIDDLE ROW SEATS. THROUGHOUT OUR TRIP THE SEAT BACK WOULD NOT HOLD TO SUPPORT HIM AND WAS REPEATEDLY FLYING BACKWARD. THIS IS HOW WE DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM. WERE THERE TO BE AN ACCIDENT NOT ONLY WOULD THE SEAT NOT HOLD TO PROTECT THE PASSENGER IT COULD ACTUALLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY A FEW YEARS OLD AND HAS BEEN USED WITH NORMAL FAMILY WEAR AND TEAR. IT HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED IN ANY WAY. WE DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS A FAILED/DEFECTIVE PART AFFECTING THIS ONE SEAT IN OUR VEHICLE OR IF THERE IS SOMETHING STRUCTURALLY UNSOUND IN THE SEAT DESIGN OF THE EXPEDITION. WE HAVE CONTACTED FORD REGARDING THE ISSUE AND THEY TELL US THEY ARE COMMITTED TO SAFETY AND SHARE OUR CONCERN YET WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE NEW VEHICLE WARRANTY IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT. THIS ANSWER IS UNACCEPTABLE AND THEY ARE USING EMPTY WORDS. MY FATHER WAS KILLED IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND I HAVE 5 CHILDREN THAT I DRIVE AROUND DAILY. SAFETY IS MY NUMBER ONE PRIORITY IN A VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED PRIMARILY FOR THE SAFETY OF MY OWN FAMILY BUT ALSO ALL THOSE ON THE ROAD. PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH FORD. IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR WHICH I THINK FORD IS RESPONSIBLE F

ANT-SKID CONTROL LIGHT FLASHED THREE TIMES, STARTED TO COME TO A STOP. THE 2007 FORD EXPEDITION STARTED TO SHAKE, TRUCK SPEED UP, AND IN A TURN ALMOST HIT ON COMING CAR. PARK THE TRUCK DRIVE IT FOR 30 MILES NOTHING HAPPEN AGAIN. LOOKING ON LINE FOR MORE PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. TRUCK HAS 60,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

THE 5.4L ENGINE HAS A TAPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE TOP HALF OF THE MOTOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT OCCURS WHEN THE ENGINE IS IDLING AT A STAND STILL. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY. HAVE BEEN SPEAKING WITH FORD WARRANTY AND DEALERS TRYING TO GET FIXED AND BECAUSE IT IS INTERMITTENT THEY DO NOT WANT TO WORK ON. WE HAVE TAKEN TO 2 DEALERS A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES AND SPOKEN WITH FORD WARRANTY AND THEY REFUSE TO PAY TO HAVE THE MOTOR OPENED UP AND LOOKED AT. *TR

WHILE EXITING THE BYPASS THE TRACTION ASSIST CAME ON FOR NO REASON CAUSING THE TRUCK TO SHAKE AND ALMOST FELT LIKE THE TRUCK ACCELERATED AS I HIT THE BREAK. IT WAS ON A TURN BUT I WAS ACTUALLY GOING UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT ON DRY ROAD. STARTING TO HAVE MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE TO THE POINT IT IS TROUBLING ME TO EVEN DRIVE OR HAVE MY KIDS IN OR AROUND THE VEHICLE AND WANTED TO GET IT ON RECORD. WILL BE POSTING OTHER INCIDENTS THAT HAVE OCCURED SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE WHICH IS ONLY A MONTH THIS WEEK. *TR

WINDOW REGULATORS FAILED ON FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF EACH OTHER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH HE VEERED OFF THE ROAD, CRASHED INTO A COUPLE TREES AND A MAIL BOX BEFORE HE CAME TO A STOP. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

2007 FORD EXPEDITION EL FRONT DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATORS BROKE AT THE SAME TIME. THE SUV IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD. AFTER RESEARCHING PROBLEM ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH MANY CONSUMERS DRIVING FORDS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THE TECHNICIAN STARTED THE IGNITION, AND WHEN THE BRAKE WAS ENGAGED THERE WAS A SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO ONE PARKED UNOCCUPIED VEHICLE, AND FOUR PARKED VEHICLES WITH OCCUPANTS. THE DRIVER IN ONE OF THE PARKED VEHICLES SUSTAINED AN INJURY TO THE NECK. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACTS VEHICLE SUSTAINED SEVERE DAMAGE AND WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION CENTER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WE WERE LOADING UP OUR 2007 FORD EXPEDITION TO GO OUT. THE VEHICLE HAD JUST BEEN STARTED TO WARM UP, WHEN I SHUT THE REAR HATCH, THE GLASS SHATTERED CAUSING A HUGE MESS ALLOVER THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. THE 2 CONTACTS WERE DANGLING FROM THE TRUCK, BUT THE GLASS WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED OUT. *TR

LEAVING MY NEIGHBORHOOD GOING 20-25 MPH. PAVEMENT WAS DRY. SLIGHT DOWNHILL INCLINE. PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. BRAKE STARTED PULSATING RAPIDLY. BRAKE WAS RESISTING ME PRESSING IT BY PUSHING MY FOOT BACK UP WITH PULSATING ACTION. TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. COULD HAVE REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME OR WENT INTO A 4 LANE HIGHWAY. PULLED OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY PROCEEDED DOWN ANOTHER DOWNHILL INCLINE ABOUT 45 MPH. PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN AGAIN THE BRAKES STARTED PULSATING AND DID NOT WORK. HAD TO STAND ON THE BRAKES PUSHING AGAINST THE BRAKE RAPID PULSATION TO GET THE TRUCK SLOWED TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT. TRACTION CONTROL SLIDING CAR ICON WAS FLASHING. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP 10/28/10. DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES OR MALFUNCTION. DEALER SAID THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM "RSC" RESETS ITSELF PERIODICALLY AND WILL MOST LIKELY DO THIS AGAIN. THIS IS A DANGEROUS TIME FOR A BAKE OR TRACKING CONTROL SYSTEM TO RESET LEAVING ONE WITHOUT BRAKES. PERSONALLY I DON'T BELIEVE THEIR EXCUSE. FORD HAS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. SEEMS OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM REFERENCE TO ODI ID # 10220899. ALSO OTHER COMPLAINTS UNDER THE TRACKING CONTROL SYSTEM ODI ID# 10332619 AND 10321582. ALSO FROM SURFING THE FORD ENTHUSIAST WEB SITE, AND OTHER WEB SITES, A LOT MORE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND ARE NOT BEING REPORTED.

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE POWER WINDOW FAILURES ON MY 2007 FORD EXPEDITION. THE FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE WINDOWS WILL NOT OPERATE DUE TO FAILED REGULATORS. THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW HAS NOW FAILED TWICE. IT WAS REPAIRED IN 2009. *TR

2007 EXPEDITION 2 WD 5.4 6SPD. AUTO PARK LOCK DEVICE WAS NOT WORKING. CAR COULD BE SHIFTED FROM PARK WITHOUT KEYS OR APPLYING THE BRAKE. CAR ROLLED DOWN A HILL ACROSS A STREET DOWN ANOTHER HILL INTO A CREEK WITH 5YR OLD CHILD AND DOG IN CAR. PURCHASED CERTIFIED PRE OWNED LESS THAN 1 MONTH AGO. *TR

2007 FORD EXPEDITION...POWER WINDOWS, SO FAR 3 0F 4 HAVE FAILED AND NEED REPLACING AT OWNER EXPENSE!! *TR

CLAMP HOLDING THE PRESSURE SENSOR BROKE IN PIECES RANGING FROM 3 TO 8 INCHES. THIS METAL ALONG WITH THE PRESSURE SENSOR RATTLED AROUND LOOSE IN THE TIRE CAUSING EXCESSIVE VIBRATION AT SPEEDS OVER 40 MPH. THIS HAPPENED ON BOTH FRONT TIRES. CAR HAD APPROX 49,000 MILES WHEN PROBLEM WAS FOUND. PIECES WERE REMOVED (WHICH I STILL HAVE) AND NEW TIRES INSTALLED WITH OUT PRESSURE SENSOR. I GET ERROR MESSAGE ON CONTROL PANEL EVERY TIME I START THE CAR. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION WITH A 5.4 TRITON ENGINE IN FEBRUARY 2008 THAT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE CAR STARTED HERE LATELY TO MISFIRE AND JUMP AND STALL. I PURCHASED SPARK PLUGS AS I DO WITH ALL MY VEHICLES. UPON REMOVAL OF THE ORIGINAL PLUGS THEY BREAK OFF IN THE MOTOR OR THE HEAD WHICH THEN COST LOTS MORE MONEY TO REPLACE. UPON SPEAKING TO AND RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET THIS PLUG DESIGN IS A FLAW WITH ALL THE ENGINES THAT FORD HAS DESIGNED. EVERY PERSON WHO HAS HAD TO REPLACE THESE PLUGS HAS ENCOUNTERED THIS AWFUL AND COSTLY FLAW WHICH FORD SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR. AS I WILL AS WELL AS MANY CONTINUE TO PAY FOR THE POOR WORKMANSHIP AND DESIGN THAT FORD SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR. IN THESE DAY AND TIMES AND WITH THE WIDE VARIETIES OF MASS COMMUNICATIONS, I WILL NEVER AND ENCOURAGE MY FRIENDS TO NEVER BUY A FORD VEHICLE AGAIN. I HAVE FOUR KIDS AND THIS IS A COST THAT WE CANNOT STAND FOR. I WILL GO TO THE HOUSTON TEXAS MEDIA WITH THIS AS WELL. AS I AM SURE IN THE HOUSTON AREA MANY MANY MANY CONSUMERS HAVE THESE SAME ISSUES. *TR

IT WAS 5/5/09, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING VEHICLE ON A 'CHIP AND SEALED' STREET. SHE PARKED IT ON THE SHOULDER AND WENT TO SOME YARD SALES. SHE RETURN TO THE VEHICLE AND WAS BACKING IT, TO TURN AROUND. THE ENGINE CHANGED SOUND AND BEGAN TO REV UP. [SHE WAS NOW HALF ITS LENGTH UP A CONCRETE DRIVEWAY.] WITH HER FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE SHE IMMEDIATELY SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO A FORWARD. THE ENGINE WAS REALLY LOUD AND REVVING UP WITH THE REAR TIRES SQUEALING, AND SPINNING, THE VEHICLE'S FRONT TIRES BEGIN TO SLIDE ON THE GRAVEL OF THE 'CHIP AND SEAL' AND THEN SLIDE ON THE CRUSHED ROCK OF THE NEXT DRIVE WAY. WITH HER FOOT STILL FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE AND NOW BOTH HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL, THE VEHICLE LUNGES AND SCOOTS FORWARD OUT OF CONTROL ON ITS OWN, PLOWING INTO A BRICK MAIL BOX. AS THE VEHICLE IS PLOWING OVER THE MAIL BOX, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY IDLES DOWN AND THE VEHICLE STOPS MOVING. MY WIFE HAD NEVER REMOVED HER FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDDLE UNTIL AFTER SHE SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. THE BRICK MAIL BOX WAS TOTALLY DESTROYED COSTING AND THE EXPEDITION HAD DAMAGE TO THE GRILL AND FRONT FASCIA. THE COUNTY SHERIFF WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER 3 WKS THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND DECLARED IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

ON 7/5/10 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE 2007 EXPEDITION EL WITH LESS THAN 17,000 MILES, ACROSS THE PAVED PARKING LOT AT HER WORK PLACE. WITH HER FOOT TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL SHE DROVE FORWARD APPROACHING A PARKING POSITION. AS THE VEHICLE APPROACHED THE PARKING POSITION SHE DID NOT MOVE HER FOOT TO INCREASE OR DECREASE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE. WHEN SHE IS ABOUT 10' TO 14' AWAY FROM THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER, THE ENGINE BEGINS TO CHANGE SOUND, REVS UP, SHE IMMEDIATELY HAS TO APPLY BRAKE PEDDLE PRESSURE TO SLOW AND THEN ENOUGH PRESSURE TO PREMATURELY STOP THE VEHICLE. IT'S REAR TIRES BEGIN TO BRAKE LOOSE, SQUEAL, AND SPIN. SHE TURNS THE KEY OFF, TO KILL THE ENGINE. THE BRAKES HELD FIRM KEEPING THE VEHICLE STATIONARY AS WAS EVIDENT IN THE FRONT TIRES IMPRINT ON THE PARKING LOT. THE REAR TIRES HAD SPUN, EATING THROUGH THE SEALED SURFACE OF THE PARKING LOT, DEPOSITING RUBBER AND PARKING LOT MATERIAL BEHIND THEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. AGAIN THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, AND FORD WOULD NOT LET THEM DO ANYTHING TO THE VEHICLE UNLESS THEY COULD FIND SOMETHING. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT ON THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST WAS COMPLAINT ODI # 10347250. THE FIRST INCIDENT HAD PROPERTY DAMAGE AND VEHICLE DAMAGE. THE SECOND INCIDENT DID NOT. - FORD HAS NO RECORD AT THE DEALERSHIP OF THIS VEHICLE BEING THERE FOR 3 WEEKS THE FIRST TIME AND 2 WEEKS THE SECOND TIME. FORD REP ALSO SAID NOT TAKE THIS VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. *TR

VEHICLE OFTEN FAILS TO MOVE WHEN ON AN INCLINE, E.G., PULLING BOAT OUT OF WATER ON LAUNCH RAMP; BACKING VEHICLE UP STEEP DRIVEWAY.

TRACTION CONTROL LAMP LIGHTS, TRUCK SHUTTERS. *TR

VEHICLE LEFT PARKED ON FLAT SURFACE, I GOT BACK IN AFTER IT HAD BEEN PARKED FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES.. AS SOON AS I GOT IN, THE VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING FORWARD. I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BRAKE AND CHECKED THAT THE SHIFTER WAS FULLY IN "PARK", WHICH IT WAS. AS SOON AS I LET OFF THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE ROLLED ABOUT ANOTHER FOOT BEFORE STOPPING ITSELF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION. THE CONTACT STATED HE WAS DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 65 MPH IN HEAVY RAINS. HE ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE RIGHT PASSENGERS WHEEL LOCKED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLIDE SIDEWAYS. HE REMOVED HIS FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE WHEEL WAS UNLOCKED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD ONLY OCCUR WHEN DRIVING IN RAINY WEATHER. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 25 MPH IN RAINY WEATHER. THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE BUT WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A DIAGNOSIS. THE DEALER RAN SEVERAL TESTS AND SUBMITTED THEM TO THE MANUFACTURER WHO ADVISED THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED AND WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,500.

I HAD PURCHASED A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION WITH HEAVY DUTY TRAILER TOW THE CLASS IV AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT COME WITH TRAILER TOW MIRRORS. I HAD JUST PURCHASED A TRAILER AND HAVE BLIND SPOTS AND AM TRYING TO FIND MIRRORS BUT THERE ARE NONE FOR ME TO USE. I TRY ASKING FORD IF I COULD USE THE ONES FROM AND F-150 BUT THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE ANYTHING BECAUSE IT IS NOT ON THE ACCESSORY LIST. I THINK THIS IS A BIG SAFETY RISK SINCE THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED TO TOW UP TO A 9000LB TRAILER AND IF YOU CANNOT SEE THEN WHY SELL THE TRAILER TOW PACKAGE IF YOU CANNOT USE IT. *TR

THE AC BLOWER WOULD WORK AT TIMES AND OTHER TIMES IT WOULD NOT BLOW ANY COLD AIR. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE ORIGINAL BLOWER MOTOR HAD DEFECTS AND A NEW MOTOR WAS PRODUCED. IT ALSO REQUIRED NEW WIRING AND A NEW BLOWER CONTROL CELL WOULD BE REQUIRED. COST OVER $300.00. WITH THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM I WOULD THINK IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AND REPAIRED BY FORD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION. THE CONTACT STATED THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WOULD FEEL UNSTABLE AND BEGAN TO BOUNCE EXCESSIVELY WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING UNUSUALLY LOW AND THERE WAS A DECREASE IN VEHICLE CONTROL WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THAT THE REAR MODULE WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

ROAD CONDITIONS-WET; OUTSIDE TEMP.-46DEG. (MARCH 23, 2010 MILEAGE AT INCIDENT OCCURANCE - 68659) UPON DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT(RSC) WILL SUDDEN APPEAR ALTERNATING WITH A WRENCH WARNING LIGHT, WHICH THEN DISABLES THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE (EVEN WITH THE PEDEL DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR). WHEN THIS OCCURS IT FORCES ME TO HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER TO SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR SAFETY. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING AS WELL AS ALL THE ELECTRONICS AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARS. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR INVESITIGATION, THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE WHILE IN THE SHOP, SINCE THERE ARE NO CODES TO CHECK THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPAIR OR REPLACED. I FEEL AS THOUGH IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE IN THE HIGH SPEED LANE ON THE HIGHWAY, THIS WOULD CAUSE A SERIOUS SITUATION IN WHICH AN ACCIDENT MAY OCCUR AND I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY OR ANYONE THAT DRIVES THIS VEHICLE. ALL SERVICE ON THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN DONE AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHILE UNDER WARRANTY (75K EXTENDED WARRANTY). THE LAST TIME THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE OCCURRED WAS MAY 2009 MILEAGE WAS 54494. IN TOTAL THIS PROBLEM AS OCCURED 6 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE.

WE PURCHASED A USED 2007 FORD EXPEDITION EL WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT FROM A CERTIFIED FORD DEALERSHIP. AFTER A FEW MONTHS WE NOTICED THAT THE PAINT ON THE HOOD AND THE LIFTGATE WAS BUBBLING. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE PAINT WAS OXIDIZING, NOT RUSTING. THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO FILE A CLAIM UNDER WARRANTY BUT IT WAS DENIED. WE HAVE TRIED A SECOND TIME AND WAITING TO HEAR BACK. A VEHICLE WITH A $50,000 MSRP THAT HAS THE PAINT BUBBLING OFF AFTER 2 AND A HALF YEARS IS TERRIBLE. I WILL THINK TWICE BEFORE PURCHASING ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE LIFT GATE WOULD OPEN WITHOUT WARNING, IT SHUT WITH A LOT OF FORCE. THE CONTACT HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE TWO ARMS ON THE LIFT GATE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT HAS NOT HAD THE TWO ARMS REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THE LIFT GATE AND THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WOULD NOTIFY HIM. THE CONTACT HAS NOT RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE. THE CONTACT IS CONCERNED THAT SOMEONE COULD BE INJURED BY THE LIFT GATE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000. UPDATED 11/16/10. *LJ

I HAVE A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION EL . I LEASE A 4000 SQ. FT. GARAGE WHERE I'M WORKING TO OPEN MY OWN DEALERSHIP. ON THE MORNING OF FEBRUARY 18, 2010 AROUND 3AM THE EXPEDITION CAUGHT ON FIRE ALL BY ITSELF. IT STARTED ON THE ENGINE AND WORKED ITS WAY BACK UNTIL THE FIREFIGHTERS ARRIVED AND WERE ABLE TO PUT IT DOWN IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE EXPEDITION IS A TOTAL LOSS. THE 2008 F350 CREWCAB DUALLY I HAD PARKED NEXT TO IT HAD SOME DAMAGE TO THE DRIVER SIDE AND ALSO EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE CEILING AND INSULATION OF THE BUILDING. THE POLICE CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATOR MENTIONED RIGHT OFF THE BET THAT THESE CARS HAVE A CRUISE CONTROL RECALL AND IT IS COMMON TO MANY OF THEM TO CATCH ON FIRE ALL BY ITSELF. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND TWO MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS INVOLVING THE RISK OF FIRE: A RECALL FOR THE FUEL RAIL ASSEMBLY AND A PROBLEM WITH THE SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH BEING POWERED AT ALL TIME AND RESULTING IN FIRE UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. SINCE MY LEASE STARTED ON FEBRUARY 1ST AND I'M IN THE PROCESS OF OPENING AND REGISTERING THE BUSINESS, I HAD NO INSURANCE ALL THE TIME. THE INSURANCE OF THE GARAGE'S OWNER WILL COVER THE DAMAGE ON THE BUILDING BUT NONE OF MY CAR AND TRUCK DAMAGE. ON TOP OF LOOSING MY CAR, MY BUSINESS WILL BE SHUT DOWN FOR ABOUT TWO TO FOUR WEEKS UNTIL THE INSURANCE GET ALL PAPERWORK AND CLAIM SETTLED AND OWNER GETS THE PLACE ALL FIXED UP. ALL THAT'S LEFT FOR ME IS TO FIND A WAY OF GETTING FORD TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFAULT

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION.
