TIRES

29 complaints

THE TIRE BEGAN MAKING A SQUISHING NOISE AS IT ROTATED. OVER TIME IT BECAME WORSE. THEN ONE MORNING WE FOUND IT FLAT. WE TOOK IT OFF TO PUT THE SPARE TIRE ON. AT THAT TIME WE OBSERVED 9 SEPARATIONS OF THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE, ONE WITH CORD SHOWING THROUGH IT. DURING ITS LIFE, THE TIRE WAS ROTATED ROUTINELY AND WAS ALWAYS KEPT AT THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDED PRESSURE. IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN FEBRUARY OF 2011.

POWER TRAIN

19 complaints

WHEN YOU DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND COME TO A STOP, IE: (INTERSECTION) THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO NEUTRAL WHILE IT'S IN DRIVE AND UPON PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, IT ENTERS A SAFETY TYPE MODE WITH NO INDICATION AND WILL REMAIN IN GEAR ZERO FOR APPROXIMATELY 1-2 SECONDS AND THEN AS IT STARTS MOVING, IT DOES SO WITH VERY LITTLE POWER LEAVING THE VEHICLE IN DANGER OF GETTING STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM CROSS TRAFFIC. AT THIS TIME, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE BUT IT SEEMS TO BE COMMON VIA THE INTERNET COMPLAINTS ON THE 6R80 TRANSMISSIONS ON FORD VEHICLES. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 4 TIMES WHILE TRYING TO CROSS MULTI LANE HIGHWAYS BUT THE MOST RECENTLY CAME VERY CLOSE TO WHAT COULD HAVE ENDED INTO A MULTIPLE FATAL ACCIDENT WITH A SEMI TRUCK WHO WAS BARELY ABLE TO STOP IN TIME BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO CROSS A 3 LANE HIGHWAY. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE GO BACK TO NORMAL BY SIMPLY SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING IT. WHAT MAKES THIS REALLY DANGEROUS, IS THE DRIVER SUCH AS ME BEING UNAWARE THAT MY VEHICLE IS IN A SAFETY RESTRICTED POWER OUTPUT WHEN THIS HAPPENS. NO WARNING UNTIL YOU COMMIT INTO A DEADLY SITUATION. PEOPLE REPORT THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AS THE VEHICLE GOING INTO NEUTRAL BY ITSELF WHEN COMING TO A STOP. WHEN THEY TRY TO RESUME DRIVING THE VEHICLE RPMS WILL INCREASE AND THE VEHICLE MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT POP INTO GEAR SOFTLY OR FORCEFULLY. SOMETIMES WITH FULL ACCELERATION AUTHORITY AND SOMETIMES WITH A MAX ATTAINABLE SPEED OF 5 MPH OR LESS DEPENDING ON THE GRADIENT AND TERRAIN UNTIL YOU CAN REACH A SAFE SPOT AND RESTART THE VEHICLE.

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. PRESSED ACCELERATOR TO PASS A TRACTOR TRAILER. THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED TO PASS (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION), BUT THEN DOWNSHIFTED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 1ST GEAR ON ITS OWN, WHICH IMMEDIATELY REVVED THE ENGINE UP TO RED LINE (5000 RPM) AND CAUSED THE REAR TIRES TO START TO SLOW TO LESS THAN VEHICLE SPEED. AS A RESULT, THE TIRES STARTED SMOKING AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SKID SIDEWAYS TO THE RIGHT OFF THE ROAD AND DOWN THE EMBANKMENT. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN SOME CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DOWN THE GRASSY EMBANKMENT AND FINALLY GET THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE REAR TIRES AND NARROWLY AVOID CRASHING. THE ONLY REASON THERE WAS NOT A CRASH WAS DUE TO THAT SECTION OF THE INTERSTATE HAVING A RELATIVELY SHALLOW GRASSY DOWNWARD EMBANKMENT. 1000 FEET IN EITHER DIRECTION OF THAT INTERSTATE WOULD HAVE CAUSED A MULTI-CAR ACCIDENT. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT BACK INTO GEAR AND DRIVE IT UP TO THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE SAFELY BACK TO MY HOME. ONCE HOME, I WAS ABLE TO RESEARCH THAT THERE IS AN EXISTING FORD RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT IT IS ONLY ON 2012 EXPEDITIONS AND 2011-2012 FORD F-150S WITH THE 6R80 TRANSMISSION. MY VEHICLE HAS THE 6R75 TRANSMISSION, WHICH WAS THE PREDECESSOR TO THE RECALLED ONE ABOVE.

May 01, 2017

THE WIRING HARNESS FROM THE TRANSMISSION TO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CROSSES OVER THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THERE ARE A SERIES OF CLIPS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO HOLD THE WIRE HARNESS CLOSE TO THE UNDER BODY OF THE CHASSIS. THESE CLIPS PREVENT THE WIRING HARNESS FROM TOUCHING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. DURING USE, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER GETS HOT AND THIS HEAT DEGRADES THE PLASTIC CLIPS TO THE POINT WHERE THE ARE BRITTLE AND FAIL. THIS CAN RESULT IN THE WIRE HARNESS CONTACTING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE HEAT FROM THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER SUBSEQUENTLY DESTROYS THE WIRING AND INSULATION TO THE POINT THAT THE ECM RECEIVES ERRONEOUS INDICATIONS FROM THE TRANSMISSION. IF EXPOSED FOR SUFFICIENT TIME THE CONDITION COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION BEGIN IN LIMP MODE, SUDDENLY FAILING OR A FIRE DUE TO THE WIRING HARNESS IGNITING. *TR

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. AFTER DIAGNOSIS WE FOUND THE FUEL PUMP WHICH IN LOCATED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK HAD BURNED AND MELTED AT THE WIRE CONNECTORS. HAD THE FUEL BEEN LOWER AND THE WIRES EXPOSED THE FUMES WOULD HAVE EXPLODED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES FROM A FIRE.

I LEFT TO GO GROCERY SHOPPING AROUND NOON THIS MARCH. ABOUT 15 MIN. INTO MY DRIVE GOING UP A HILL ON A HIGHWAY AND RIGHT AFTER PASSING A CAR THAT WAS DOING ABOUT 50 IN A 70 MPH ZONE, MY CAR JUST DIED WHILE TOPPING THE HILL. I HAD NO POWER STEERING, AND NO BREAKS. THANKFULLY I HAVE HAD CAR WITH OUT POWER STEERING AND KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE TOUGH TO GET IT ON THE SHOULDER BEFORE BEING HIT BY THE SEMI THAT WAS BEHIND ME. IT WOULD NOT START OR DO ANYTHING AFTER THAT SO I POPPED THE HOOD TO CHECK MY FUSES. AND FOUND OUT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP FUSE. I HAD OVER A QUARTER TANK OF GAS LEFT AND NO WARNING AS TO ANY PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. I CHECK ALL MY FLUIDS ON THE REGULAR AND HAVE OILS CHANGED WHEN NEEDED. WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS PULLED ALL THE WIRES ON THE PUMP WERE MELTED. LUCKY IT DUDNT CATCH FIRE, AND THE PART TO REPLACE THIS IS RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND MY FORD EXPEDITION STARTED HESITATING. I WAS DRIVING ON WINDING WEST VIRGINIA ROAD AT THE TIME. VEHICLE STALLED OUT AFTER HESITATIONS. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO SPEED. IT HESITATED SEVERAL MORE TIMES. IN TOWN WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP IT STALLED OUT TWICE MORE. STALLING OCCURRED AS I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL. I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALER. THEY CHANGED THE IGNITION COILS. AS I PULLED OUT OF THE DEALER IT STALLED OUT AGAIN. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THIS DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER. THEY HAD TO CHANGE OUT THE FUEL PUMP. THE SIDE THE ELECTRICAL WIRES ON THE PUMP HAD MELTED AND WERE MAKING INTERMITTENT CONTACT CAUSING THE HESITATION AND STALLING. THIS COULD HAVE VERY EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I CANNOT FIND ANOTHER FUEL PUMP ANYWHERE. FORD SAYS THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN ANY WILL BE AVAILABLE, MAYBE NOVEMBER. I AM STUCK MAKING PAYMENTS AND KEEPING INSURANCE ON A VEHICLE THAT MAY NEVER RUN AGAIN. *TR

OUR FAMILY DROVE OUR EXPEDITION EL TO HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SC. AFTER STOPPING TO RENT SOME BIKES WE WENT TO START OUR VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP WE WERE TOLD THAT OUR FUEL PUMP WAS BURNED UP AND THAT THEY WOULD ORDER A NEW PUMP. THE NEXT DAY THEY CALLED BACK TO INFORM US THAT THERE ARE NO FUEL PUMP'S AVAILABLE FOR THE EXPEDITION EL 131" WHEEL BASE AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE AND FORD WOULD NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION. WE CONTACTED FORD AND THEY WOULD NOT HELP US UNLESS WE TRANSFERRED THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. WE DID THAT AND THE FORD DEALERSHIP TOLD US THE EXACT SAME THING. AFTER TRYING ALL WEEK TO FIND A FUEL PUMP OR TRY TO USE THE SHORTER VERSION THERE WAS NO WAY TO FIND ONE. WE ENDED UP HAVING TO RENT A CAR AND DRIVE IT BACK 1000 MILES TO MICHIGAN. WHEN WE GOT BACK TO MICHIGAN AND CONTACTED FORD THEY ONCE AGAIN SAID IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT, THE CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTLY AND SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE BUT THEY OWE US NOTHING AND THEY CAN'T HELP US. WHEN I ASKED WHEN THERE WOULD BE FUEL PUMPS AVAILABLE THEY NEVER RESPONDED. I LOCATED A USED FUEL PUMP IN CANADA AND SHIPPED IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. I THEN FLEW BACK TO HILTON HEAD AND DROVE IT BACK. THE FIRST TIME WE STOPPED THE CAR TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I FINALLY GOT IT STARTED AND NEVER SHUT THE CAR OFF AGAIN FROM SC TO MICHIGAN - EVEN WHILE PUMPING GAS AND NEVER LET THE TANK GET BEOW 1/2 A TANK. THE CAR NOW JERKS AND THE FUEL PUMP IS ABOUT TO GO AGAIN. EVERY TIME I GET IN THE CAR I AM AFRAID IT IS JUST GOING TO STOP WORKING AND I WILL GET IN AN ACCIDENT. SO FAR IT HAS COST US OVER $2000.00 TO JUST GET THE CAR BACK HOME AFTER ALL THE EXTRA COSTS AND FORD WILL NOT TELL US ANYTHING OR WHEN ANY WILL BE AVAILABLE. THEY FURTHERMORE SAID THEY WORK CLOSELY WITH NHTSA AND THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH THIS PART. *TR

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.

FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 45 MPH. BRAKES WERE APPLIED TO SLOW DOWN BEFORE A CURVE. AT THE POINT THE FRONT WHEELS LOCKED UP AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH AND SWERVE ON THE ROADWAY. TO PREVENT A ROLLOVER THE VEHICLE WAS STEERED OFF THE ROAD WHEN IT JUMPED AN EMBANKMENT AND PLOWED THROUGH 25 FEET MUD AND BRUSH BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND LEFT UNTIL IT COULD BE TOWED OUT. AFTER A FEW HOURS THE CALIPERS RELEASED. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. WHEN ACCELERATED WAS PRESSED THE FRONT WHEELS WERE LOCKED UP AND THE BACK WHEELS WERE SPINNING. VEHICLE WAS PUT IN PARK, SHUT OFF, RESTARTED AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND CALIPERS WERE STILL LOCKED UP. VEHICLE WAS TOWED HOME AND CALIPERS RELEASED AFTER A FEW HOURS. CAR HAD ONLY BEEN RUNNING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES WHEN THIS HAPPENED. AFTER DIAGNOSIS IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BRACKETS THAT HOLD THE BRAKE LINES ON THE FRONT FAILED AND WHEEL ROTATION WERE THROUGH THE LINES WHICH CAUSED THE BRAKE LINES TO INTERMITTENTLY COLLAPSE. ALL BRAKE LINES, CALIPERS, TIE RODS, SHOCK/STRUTS, BRAKES, ROTORS, UPPER CONTROL ARMS AND LOWER BALL JOINTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON BOTH FRONT AND REAR. VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 180,000 MILES WHEN BOTH INCIDENTS OCCURRED 3 MONTHS APART.

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM

WHILE DRIVING THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME ON..CAUSING THE CAR TO SHUTTER AND SHAKE, WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING, IT IS LIKE THE BRAKES DO NOT WORK. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES NOTHING CAN BE DONE BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT GET A CODE BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON. I WILL NOT ALLOW MY CHILDREN TO DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE IT IS TO DANGEROUS...IT HAS SINCE HAD THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ON FOLLOWED BY A WRENCH AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON NOW IT WILL NOT GO OVER 30 MPH, IT IS SITTING AT THE FORD DEALER AS WE SPEAK. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS. THIS ALL MAY HAVE BEEN PREVENTED HAD THE PROBLEM BEEN FOUND SOONER. AT THIS POINT I AM CONSIDERING TO SURRENDER MY CAR, I WOULD RATHER HAVE A HIT ON MY CREDIT THAN SOMETHING HAPPENING TO MY FAMILY WHILE IN THIS VEHICLE!!! *TR

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.

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

Sep 03, 2022

ALWAYS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN LOWER GEAR, WITH RPMS BETWEEN 1-2, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY BEGIN TO VIBRATE/SHAKE AND FEELS LIKE YOU'RE RIDING OFF THE ROAD ON AN INTERSTATE (LIKE THE SPEED RIDGES IN THE PULL-OFF LANE. IT IDLES GREAT, SEEMS TO CHANGE GEARS SMOOTHLY (AUTOMATIC). SOMETIMES THE VIBRATION IS MINIMAL BUT OTHER TIMES IT'S QUITE NOTICABLE, BUT USUALLY LASTS LESS THAN 15 SECONDS. IF THE RPMS ARE OVER 1.5 IT ONLY DOES IT LESS THAN 5 SECONDS. I WONDERED IF IT IS FAULTY MOTOR MOUNTS OR TRANSMISSION MOUNTS? I'VE HAD TIRES ROTATED, BOUGHT A NEW SET OF TIRES, SHOCKS ARE FINE. I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING.

I REPLACED THE AIR COMPRESSOR AND IT WAS WORKING FINE BUT THEN STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR, THE MECHANIC CHECKED ALL THE LINES AND FOUND THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE WAS NOT SECURED CORRECTLY AND HAD RUBBED A HOLE IN THE HIGH SIDE HOSE AND WAS LEAKING REFRIGERANT OIL. NOW MY OPTIONS ARE EITHER DOING AWAY WITH THE BACK AIR CONDITIONER OR REPLACING THE HOSE WHICH IS $600.

ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

MY TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW AND I HAVE RECENTLY HAD MORE FUEL GAS WASTE QUICKLY IN THE PAST YEAR. I RECENTLY HAD THE FUEL LINE CHANGED IN JUNE 2017 BECAUSE A SPARK PLUG BURNT OUT AND CAUSED IT TO HAVE A LEAK THAT WAS DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO THE GAS TANK. I HAVE 123K MILES ON IT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LINE COMES ON EVERY TIME AFTER HALF A GAS TANK IS DONE. I HAD THE TRUCK DRIVING AND IT SHUTS OFF ON ITS OWN. SOMETIMES IT WILL HAVE A STRONG SHAKING OF THE MOTOR OR NO WARNING AT ALL WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. I'M VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT WHICH IS WHAT THE ERROR CODE POPS UP AND THE SPARK PLUGS AND COILS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. EVERY THING ELSE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED BUT I'M STILL HAVE THE ENGINE AND FUEL PROBLEM. THE GAS GOES SO FAST AND THIS IS A V8 WHERE I USUALLY DRIVE A 6 MILE TO WORK NOW SAYS IT HAS BEEN A 40 MILE DRIVE. DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO AND MAY TAKE IT BACK TO TRADE FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE BRAND. I HAD TO PARK THE TRUCK AFTER IT SHUT OFF ON ME AGAIN ON A SIDE STREET BEFORE GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY.

I WENT TO PICK MY SON UP FROM DRIVERS ED AND WE WERE LEAVING THE PARKING LOT AND THE VEHICLE DIED. I WAITED A LITTLE AND THEN RESTARTED IT AND IT STARTED BUT IT WAS ROUGH. I THEN CONTINUED TO DRIVE MY WAY BACK HOME AND IT WAS DRIVING ROUGH AND NO LIGHTS CAME ON INDICATING I HAD A PROBLEM. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT DIED AGAIN SO I HAD TO JUST LET IT COAST TO GET OFF THE STREET. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO DELON AND SON'S SECOND DRIVEWAY (REPAIR SHOP). I WAITED FOR THEM TO COME HELP AND WHEN THE REPAIR MAN CAME OUT HE WAS ABLE TO START IT AND TOLD ME HE WAS GOING TO RUN SOME TEST ON IT TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED IT. AFTER 2HRS HE CAME AND SAID THAT IT INDICATED IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP, BUT THAT IT SHOWED IT FIXED ITSELF SO HE WANTED TO TEST DRIVE IT BEFORE I WOULD GO HOME......WELL NOT EVEN TWO MINUTES AFTER HE LEFT HIS COWORKER CAME IN AND SAID THAT HE JUST BROKE DOWN IN MY VEHICLE. SO HE BUMPED UNDER THE TANK AND IT STARTED BACK UP. SO THIS TO HIM INDICATED THAT IT WAS FOR SURE THE FUEL PUMP. I LEFT IT FOR THEM TO FIX IT AND WHEN IT WAS DONE HE CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT.....I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT IT DIDN'T EXPLODE BECAUSE THE WIRES WERE MELTED ON THE FUEL PUMP AND HE HIMSELF SAID THAT HE WAS LUCKY SINCE HE TEST DROVE IT AS WELL. I DOUBT FORD WOULD PAY FOR THIS FUEL PUMP FAILURE IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WHEN YOU LOOK ON-LINE. MY TOTAL BILL FOR THIS WAS $790.00 OUCH :( CONSIDERING WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF ADOPTING A CHILD. *TR

Jan 24, 2020

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 FOR BUT FURTHERMORE THEY ARE SHOWING A VERY CARELESS ATTITUDE REGARDING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHICH MAY AFFECT MORE THAN SIMPLY OUR OWN VEHICLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE WITH THIS MATTER AND FOR ALL YOU DO TO ENSURE SAFETY ON THE ROAD. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STEERING

2 complaints

MY STEERING SHAFT LOCKED UP ON THE HIGHWAY. I ALMOST COULD NOT TURN THE VEHICLE. IT TOOK MUCH FORCE TO BREAK IT FREE. MADE IT HOME AND STARTED TO DIAGNOSE IT. FIRST, I THOUGHT THE RACK & PINION FAILED. BUT IT TURNED OUT TO BE FINE. IT APPEARS THAT THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT IS THE FAILURE. THIS IS THE PARTS BETWEEN THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE RACK & PINION. I REPLACED IT WITH FORD PART NUMBER 8L1Z-3B676-A. THIS NEW PART APPEARS TO BE A REDESIGNED SHAFT FROM FORD. I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET A LITTLE WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THEIR APPEARS TO BE MANY ASSOCIATED WITH THE SAME FAILURE. I BELIEVE THE U-JOINTS IN THE SHAFT AND ITS MATERIAL SELECTION ON THE ORIGINAL PART TO BE THE PROBLEM. THE NEW SHAFT IS A MORE ROBUST DESIGN AND APPEARS TO BE OF A DIFFERENT GRADE OF METAL. MY CONCERN IS THAT IT TOOK MUCH FORCE FOR ME TO BREAK THE STEERING LOCK UP. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY BAD INCIDENT AND AFTER MY RESEARCH. IT APPEARS THAT FORD IS AWARE OF AN ISSUE AND REDESIGNED A PART FOR A FIX. I KNOW THAT MY WIFE COULD NOT BEEN ABLE TO BREAK IT FREE GOING DOWN HIGHWAY. I HAVE THE OLD PART SAVED AND WOULD BE GLAD TO SENT IT TO YOU FOR YOUR REVIEW. I'M CONCERNED THAT MILLIONS OF THESE VEHICLES ARE ON THE ROAD AND COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO MANY UNNECESSARY COLLISIONS.

WE PURCHASED A 2007 EXPEDITION LIMITED FROM DON CHALMERS FORD IN SANTA FE NEW MEXICO ON JULY 21, 2007. WE HAD THIS SUV FOR LESS THAN 2 WEEKS WHEN THE POWER STEERING AND THE RACK AND PINION FAILED. I WAS BACKING OUT OF A TIGHT PARKING SPACE WHEN I FELT THE SUV SORT OF THUMP. WITHIN 500 FEET, AS I WAS LEAVING THE PARKING LOT, THE POWER STEERING WAS COMPLETELY GONE. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP, THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT THE RACK AND PINION WAS BLOWN. THIS IS OUR 2ND EXPEDITION (WE OWNED A 2001 EDDIE BAUER). I CONVINCED MY HUSBAND TO TRADE IN OUR 2007 TAHOE LTZ FOR THE EXPEDITION LIMITED BECAUSE I MISSED MANY OF THE BASIC FEATURES SUCH AS THE SEATS FOLDING FLAT, THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL, HANDLE ON DRIVERS SIDE. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW A BRAND NEW EXPEDITION CAN HAVE THE POWER STEERING AND RACK AND PINION FAIL WITH LESS THAN 500 MILES AND FROM JUST SIMPLY BACKING OUT OF A TIGHT PARKING SPACE. I THOUGHT THAT THE 20" TIRES HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS. SOME OF OUR FRIENDS WHO ARE "CAR PEOPLE" SAID THAT THE HOSE TO SUPPORT THE POWER STEERING WAS PROBABLY NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY AND WHEN I MADE THE TIGHT TURN, IT SNAPPED IT OUT OF THE SOCKET. THE SERVICE REP SAID THAT THEY PROBABLY MADE SOME MISTAKES DURING MANUFACTURING THAT CAUSED THE ENTIRE RACK AND PINION TO BE DEFECTIVE. THE FAILURES OCCURRED ON AUGUST 3, 2007, AND THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO THE DON CHALMERS FORD DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN RIO RANCHO, NEW MEXICO. WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN A LOANER VEHICLE. WE HAVE NOT YET BEEN CONTACTED TO INFORM US OF WHAT THE EXACT PROBLEM IS, OR THE CORRECTIVE ACTION REQUIRED. WE BELIEVE THESE ISSUES ARE UNACCEPTABLE ON A $45K AUTOMOBILE. WE EITHER WANT A REPLACEMENT EXPEDITION OR WE WANT OUR TAHOE BACK.*JB

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.

AS SOON AS YOU START THE VEHICLE THE BATTERY SYMBOL DISPLAYS ON THE DASH, IT GOES ON AND OFF CHIMING REPEATEDLY, THEN SWITCHES FROM BATTERY SYMBOL TO WRENCH SYMBOL AND THEN MY ENTIRE GAUGE CLUSTER STARTS. EVERY LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY, THE RPM GAUGE AND MPH DROPS TO ZERO AND THE ENGINE CLUNKS REALLY LOUD (WHILE DRIVING), THE AC OR HEAT WILL COMPLETELY TURN OFF AND ON, THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER AND DIM ON AND OFF AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING, BAD VIBRATION, LOUD GROWL TYPE IDLE SOUND, THE RADIO SHUTS OFF, WHEN YOU TURN THE HEATER ON IT REPEATEDLY CLUNKS IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL YOU TURN AC ON AGAIN OR SHUT IT OFF, REAR AIR SUSPENSION LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS ALL HAPPENS WHENEVER IT WANTS. I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND RESTART AND THE PROBLEM WILL STAY GONE AND DRIVE NORMAL UNTIL IT COOLS AGAIN AND THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN TESTED AT 3 SHOPS AND TURNED AWAY BY ALL BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START AS THEY ARE SCANNING THE VEHICLE AND 17 CODES CAME UP. THEY STARTED TESTING EACH ITEM WITH A CODE AND ALL CAME BACK AS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. SO I BELIEVE IT'S EITHER ELECTRICAL OR ONE OF THE BRAINS/COMPUTERS OF THE VEHICLE?. IT IS BECOMING A SAFETY CONCERN AND I NEED HELP.

1 complaint

INTENSITY OF THE LIGHTING SUPPLIED TO THE ELECTRONIC MESSAGE CENTER (WHICH DISPLAYS MILEAGE, ODOMETER, REMAINING FUEL MILEAGE, FUEL ECONOMY, COMPASS, ETC.) IS PROVIDED THROUGH A PHOTO CELL ON THE DASHBOARD. IT IS WIRED INCORRECTLY, SO THAT HIGH INTENSIFY LIGHT (AS IN DAYLIGHT) REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT DISPLAYED. THIS IS BACKWARDS. IT MAKES ALL FUNCTIONS OF THE ELECTRONIC MESSAGE CENTER (ODOMETER, ETC.), IMPOSSIBLE TO READ IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT CONDITIONS. LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON TO A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF FORD CARS AND TRUCKS FOR SEVERAL YEARS, INCLUDING AND MORE RECENTLY THAN 2007. A LETTER TO FORD DID NOT PROVIDE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR REPAIR. IN ORDER TO READ ANYTHING ON THIS DISPLAY IN NORMAL LIGHT, IT IS NECESSARY TO DUCK YOUR HEAD DOWN AND STARE AT IT FOR ABOUT TEN OR MORE SECONDS. IF THIS ACTION HAS NOT YET CAUSED ANY FATALITIES, I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY. UPDATED 10/24/2014 *JS

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE OR FWY AT ABOUT 55-60 MPH - I START TO INCREASE IN SPEED, WHILE GOING WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC MY EXPEDITION EDDIE BAUER MODEL SPURTS/HESITATES/LOSES POWER "BUT NEVER CUTS OFF" EVERY TIME BEFORE THE SPEED INCREASES. WE TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AN THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FORD DEALER TOLD US THEY CAN'T DO NOT ABOUT IT UNTIL THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. WE SUGGESTED TO THE FORD DEALER THAT IT MAYBE THE FUEL FILTER OR O2 SENSOR BUT THEY TOLD US THIS MODEL VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A FUEL FILTER AND OUR O2 SENSORS ARE GOOD. MY ISSUE IS WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO WAIT TILL THE VEHICLE BREAKS DOWN WHEN IT DOES THIS ALL THE TIME. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,POWER TRAIN

1 complaint

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 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

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 VEHICLE - NOT ONLY MINE, BUT THE TENS OF THOUSANDS - THEY HAVE DRIVING ON THE STREETS PUTTING AT RISK MANY HOMES AND LIVES. THAT IS PRETTY SCARY TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THAT THERE'S MANY PEOPLE THAT LOST EVERYTHING DUE TO THIS FIRE AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH NOT TO LOOSE EVERYTHING I HAD. *TR

I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE ACCELARATION WHILE COMING FROM A STOP INTO TRAFFICE. MYSELF ALONG WITH MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN WILL NO LONGER DRIVE THE VEHICLE. WE WERE VERY CLOSE TO BEING HIT TWICE BECAUSE OF THE DEFECT IN THIS FORD VEHICLE. I HAD SUBMITTED FOR LEMON LAW AND SO FAR I HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY ANSWER FROM ARBITRATION. I CAN TELL YOU THAT FORD IS COVERING THIS UP BECAUSE I KNOW OF SERVERAL PERSONS AND BUSINESSES THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AND FORD STATED THAT THERE ARE NO ISSUES. WHILE ON THE PHONE WITH THE FORD REPRESENTATIVE IN THE ARBITRATION THEY ONLY SHOWED A FEW VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD ME THAT THE ONES THAT I RECEIVED FROM THE DEALERSHIP WERE FALSE. WHAT A CROCK. I WILL MAKE A COMPLAINT EVERYWHERE THAT I CAN BEFORE THIS VEHICLE KILLS SOMEONE. AT THIS POINT I WENT AND BOUGHT ANOTHER VEHICLE AND AM STUCK PAYING FOR TWO NOW THAT THE ONE JUST SITS AND WE REFUSE TO DRIVE IT. MY CHILDREN ARE AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE IN IT BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY GOES IN FORWARD WHILE IN REVERSE ALSO.
