ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
1/8/09 WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON HIGHWAY VEHICLE'S "ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE" ALARM SOUNDED & MESSAGE FLASHED ON PANEL. VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SHOULDER OF ROAD. TURNED OFF VEHICLE, RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2 MILES. I WAS IN TURN LANE, STARTED TO TURN LEFT, ALARM SOUNDED, MESSAGE FLASHED AND ALL POWER WAS GONE. I QUICKLY TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON TO TRY AND GET OUT OF PATH OF ONCOMING TRACTOR TRAILER. I WAS ABLE TO GET JUST OFF ROADWAY AFTER 15 MINS STARTED VEHICLE, DROVE 4 MILES FAILED AGAIN. IT WAS TOWED TO MECHANIC. AFTER CALLS TO FORD AND FURTHER TESTING THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. ON 1/30/10, 35 MILES FROM HOME, DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH WHEN "ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE" ALARM SOUNDED & MESSAGE FLASHED ON PANEL. AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL TO SHOULDER OF ROAD TO AVOID ACCIDENT. I CALLED FORD DEALER LOCATED IN THAT TOWN, HAD VEHICLE AGAIN TOWED TO SHOP AND THEY REPLACED AN ADDITIONAL PART. I CALLED FORD AFTER 2ND EVENT, I WAS TOLD BY FORD THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER SINCE THEY DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION TO IT THEY DO NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THIS. ON 4/20/11 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH THE "ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE" ALARM & MESSAGE FLASHING ON PANEL. I WAS IN FAR RIGHT LANE SO AGAIN WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SHOULDER BEFORE STEERING LOCKED FROM NO POWER. IF I HAD BEEN IN LEFT LANE I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET OFF ROADWAY. (ON 4/19/11 I HAD VEHICLE INSPECTED, IN NYS, NO CODES WERE ON THIS VEHICLE). TOWED TO SHOP, AFTER RUNNING TESTS AND CALLS TO FORD THEY HAVE AGAIN REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AS IT HAD FAILED. STILL NO RECALL. THIS IS EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE AVOIDED ACCIDENTS 3 TIMES, IF I HAD BEEN IN LEFT LANES I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SO LUCKY. THIS HAPPENS WITH NO ADVANCE WARNING. FORD KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 FORD EXPEDITION & THE FAIL SAFE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON & THAT STOPS THE GAS PEDAL FROM WORKING. YOU THEN COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD & TURN THE TRUCK OFF & RESTART IT LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES ABOUT 3 MONTHS APART. I HAD THE TRUCK CHECK BY BOB BOYD FORD & THEY SAID IT NEEDED THE THROTTLE BODY & GAS PEDAL SENSOR REPLACED,I CALLED FORD & FILED A COMPLAINT OF HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE MAKING A LEFT TURN IN ON COMING TRAFFIC( MY FORD CASE NUMBER [XXX]) I THEN WENT ON A FORD TRUCK FORUM & FOUND THAT MANY OTHERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH FORD F-150 & EXPEDITIONS ALL 2006 MODELS. A PERSON RECOMMENDED THAT I REPLACE THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR ,SO I DID AT BOB BOYD FORD FOR $196.58. I ALSO KEPT THE OLD PART.THE NEW PART IS DIFFERENT IN SIZE & HAS METAL KEY HOLES INSTEAD OF PLASTIC. THE FAIL SAFE ENGINE IS ONLY SUPPOSE TO COME ON IF THE ENGINE COOLANT IS VERY LOW ACCORDING TO THE FORD OWNERS MANUAL, THERE WAS NO REASON FOR IT TO COME ON AT ANY TIME IN MY SUV TRUCK. FORD WROTE ME & THE OHIO ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE & SAID THAT I HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR ON MY OWN & ME PAYING FOR IT ( CASE CLOSED). FORD NEVER SAID ANY THING TO ME ABOUT REPLACING THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. AGAIN THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY & GAS PEDAL SENSOR. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
VEHICLE HAS BEEN SPUTTERING WHEN ACCELERATING AT ABOUT 40MPH. SPARK PLUGS ARE "SEERED" AND FORD MECHANIC TELLS US ITS A KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY BECAUSE SPARK PLUGS ARE CONSIDERED MAINTENANCE. THE MANUAL SAYS WE THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE IS 100,000 MILES AND WE ARE ONLY AT 76,000. IF THEY ARE KNOWN TO BE FAULTY AND WE ARE NOT NEAR THE SCHEDULED/RECOMMENDED MAINTEANCE THEN SHOULDN'T THIS BE A WARRANTY ISSUE? I THINK FORD IS MILKING ITS CUSTOMERS WITH FAULTY PARTS AS I HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY BRAKES. IT FEELS AS IF I AM LANDING A PLANE WHEN I COME TO A STOP WITH ALL THE SHAKNIG AN RATTLING. I WAS TOLD THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE FORD BRAKES - THEY JUST WARP. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE VEHICLE ENTERS ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE. AT THIS POINT, THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF AND YOU WILL LOSE ENGINE POWER AND STEERING CAPABILITIES. THIS IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING 70 MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WILL EVENTUALLY KILL SOMEONE IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY. FORD HAS DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS ONE. THE REPAIR IS A $600 - $800 THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. FORD SHOULD BE EATING THIS COST.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
2006 FORD EXPEDITION E.B. AND ENGINE FAILSAFE MODE 1. THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE: THERE ARE NO DETECTABLE EVENTS PRECEDING WHATEVER CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO "ENGINE FAILSAFE" MODE. THE VEHICLE RUNS FINE AS IT ALWAYS DOES AND THEN IT JUST HAPPENS RANDOMLY. 2. THE FAILURE, HOW OFTEN IT OCCURS, ITS CONSEQUENCES: FAILURE OCCURS AT RANDOM AND IS NOT PREDICTABLE IT JUST HAPPENS. THE VEHICLE OPERATES NORMALLY AS IT SHOULD AND IN A SPILT SECOND IT IS LIKE THE VEHICLE JUST SHUTS OFF, THE INFORMATION CENTER DISPLAYS "ENGINE IN FAILSAFE MODE". THE ENGINE IS ACTUALLY RUNNING IN FAILSAFE MODE BUT ONLY AT AN IDLE, THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FUNCTION HOWEVER THE THROTTLE IS TOTALLY UNRESPONSIVE IN FAILSAFE MODE, THE VEHICLE SLOWS TO A CREEP AND WILL STOP AT THE SLIGHTEST INCLINE. WHEN THE VEHICLE STOPS THE ONLY AVAILABLE OPTION IS TO TURN THE KEY OFF AND RESTART. THE VEHICLE ALWAYS RESTARTS AND RESUMES NORMAL OPERATION AND DRIVEABILTY IS FINE, JUST AS THOUGH NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. THE OCCURRENCE FIRST HAPPENED EARLY IN JANUARY 2010, AGAIN IN LATE JANUARY, THEN IN SEPTEMBER 2010 THEN AGAIN ON FEBRUARY 26 THEN TWICE TODAY FEBRUARY 28 ABOUT 20 MINUTES APART. THE CONSEQUENCES: SCARY, DANGEROUS, HAZARDOUS. FEELS LIKE AN INSURANCE CLAIM AND/OR A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN. WHEN A VEHICLE UNDER POWER JUST SHUTS OFF INSTANTLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON IT IS LOGICAL SERIOUS INJURY OR WORSE IS A REALISTIC CONSEQUENCE. 3. WHAT WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE: SO FAR JUST A LOT OF FORD GUESSWORK. THE INTERNET HAS A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF CONSUMER POSTS REGARDING VARIOUS REPAIRS MADE. THE REPORTED REPAIRS RANGE FROM SENSORS, SPARK PLUGS, COILS, CATS,FILTERS, CONVERTERS AND MORE. THE COMMON THREAD IN THESE CONSUMER REPORTS IS THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND OCCURS RANDOMLY AFTER REPAIR. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
FOR THE FOURTH TIME IN THE PAST 2 YEARS THE SUV HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE DASHBOAD LIGHTS UP, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP, AND COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN WHILE IN TRAFFIC. NO WARNING. HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN TWICE, BUT NO CODES HAVE SHOWN UP ON THE DIAGNOSTICS. THIS IS EXTREMELTY UNSAFE AND COULD RESULT IN A AN ACCIDENT HARMING MY FAMILY, ANOTHER FAMILY OR BOTH. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I WAS PREPARING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN INTO A BUSY OFFICE COMPLEX, AND THE ENGINE IN MY 2006 FORD EXPEDITION CUT OFF. THE SYSTEM GENERATED CODE WAS 'ENGINE FAILSAFE MODE". I TURNED ON MY HAZARDS, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES TO RESTART. THE ENGINE CAR STARTED, BUT THE FACT THAT IT CUT OFF, WITHOUT WARNING IS EXTREMELY ALARMING. I'VE CONTACTED FORD CORPORATE WHO SAID THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS, AND THAT I NEEDED TO GO TO A SERVICE CENTER. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET AND THIS SITE, I AM CONVINCED THAT THIS ISSUE SHOULD PROMPT A RECALL, BUT FORD'S COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT IT IS WAITING UNTIL THERE ARE ENOUGH FATALITIES TO MAKE THE DETERMINATION TO FIX WHAT APPEARS TO BE A $600-800 ISSUE. FORD SHOULD BE AND CAN BE HELD LIABLE FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE IN THEIR DELIBERATE DECISION TO DISREGARD THE ENGINE FAILURE COMPLAINTS. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL FORD CUSTOMER FOR SEVERAL DECADES. THAT IS NO LONGER THE CASE. *TR

'06 EXPEDITION WENT INTO ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE AS MY WIFE WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN CROSSING 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. AFTER COASTING INTO A PARKING LOT, SHE TURNED IT OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON. IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND SHE WENT ON HER WAY. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID HE COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I HAVE FOUND 100'S OF '06 EXPEDITIONS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO POINT TO THE THROTTLE BODY. A RECENT AC REPAIR TO THIS CAR WAS ALMOST $800.00 AND NOW I AM HEARING TO REPAIR THE THROTTLE BODY IS UPWARD TO $700-$800. $1500 OF REPAIRS ON A CAR WITH ONLY 45,000 MILES IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AND FORD SHOULD RECALL THESE CARS AND FIND OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR EVEN WORSE, KILLED. *LN

I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD HIT BLACK ICE AND THEN SLIDE INTO A TREE HEAD ON. BOTH THE DRIVERSIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT BUT STILL SUFFERED FACIAL TRAUMA. I RECEIVED SEVERAL SUTURES IN MY LIPS AND THE INSIDE OF MY MOUTH. I THINK FORD SHOULD INVESTIGATE AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT IF MY AIRBAGS WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED I WOULDN'T HAVE SUFFERED THE TRAUMA TO MY FACE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER 2006 FORD EXPEDITION DOWN A BUSY ROAD AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 40 MPH. SHE WAS DRIVING WITH ANOTHER FRIEND AND OUR 2 CHILDREN (18 MONTHS AND 1 WEEK!) A WRENCH SYMBOL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. SHE PUT ON HER HAZARDS AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY COME TO A STOP. SHE TURNED THE IGNITION KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND THEN WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN. AFTER TALKING TO A MECHANIC AND DOING INTERNET RESEARCH I FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WHICH CONSISTS OF THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL OF THE THROTTLE. THE FIX IS UPWARDS OF $500; SO A RECALL OF SOMETHING THAT EXPENSIVE CAN EASILY BE BRUSHED UNDER THE TABLE BY FORD. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD. IF MORE VEHICLES KEEP SHUTTING DOWN ON THEIR OWN SOMEONE WILL SOON BE INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I AM FILING A COMPLAINT DUE TO MY 2006 FORD EXPEDITION. OVER THE FEW YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE S.U.V., FOR NO APPARENT REASON THE VEHICLE JUST QUITS RUNNING, ENTERS A FAIL SAFE MODE, AND ALL POWER IS LOST TO THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW ON MANY OCCASIONS AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING. ITS HAPPENED ON INTERSTATES, BRIDGES, AS WELL AS CROSSING MULTIPLE LANED HIGHWAYS. THIS IS A TREMENDOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. AT FIRST I THOUGHT MY CASE MIGHT BE ISOLATED, BUT THEN AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THOUSANDS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR EXPEDITION AS WELL. I FEEL FORD SHOULD FIND THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT BEFORE LIVES ARE DESTROYED. MY WIFE AND CHILDREN ARE IN THIS VEHICLE EVERYDAY. PLEASE IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU CAN DO.....HELP US!! *TR

2006 FORD EXPEDITION, "ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE" CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE CAR MOVING IS TO START IT AGAIN. EXTREMELY UNSAFE. THIS VEHICLE WAS COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND HAS GONE IN FOR SERVICE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. FORD CANNOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM! COMES UP WITH "NO CODE". I'M NOW OFF WARRANTY AND STUCK WITH A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE! FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY! *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, CONSTRUCTION TRUCK RAN INTO BACK OF MY 2006 FORD EXPEDITION. THE IMPACT PUSHED ME 20 FEET INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, SANDWICHING MY VEHICLE IN BETWEEN THE OTHER TWO; THE IMPACT FIRST THREW ME BACK THEN FORWARD & SENT MY GLASSES OFF MY HEAD BUT THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I GOT A CONCUSSION & SHOULDER INJURY DUE TO FORCE. POLICE & MEDICAL PERSONS WERE AMAZED THAT AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. VEHICLE HAD FRONT END & REAR DAMAGE, WAS UNDRIVEABLE & HAD TO BE TOWED AWAY. I AM WAITING TO FIND OUT IF IT WILL BE TOTALED OUT.
