POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, AIR BAGS
THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING ON ACCELERATION AND STOPPING OR GOING UP HILL. ITS BEEN TO OUR FORD DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED IT AND AT FIRST THEY FELT IT AND SAID THEY FIXED IT BUT NOW EVERYTIME I TAKE IT IN FOR THAT OR THE AC BLOWER GOING OFF AND ON THEY SAY THEY DON'T FEEL OR SEE ANYTHING IT GOTTEN RIDICULOUS. IN THE FREEWAY I-10 ME AND MY SON WERE TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO FAST ENOUGH. I WONT BOTHER WITH THE DEALERSHIP HERE IN TOWN THEY DON'T CARE. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AND NOW THE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES OFF AND ON IN TEMPERATURE CHANGE IT SEEMS LIKE. OUR DEALER FIXED THE DOOR HANDLE BUT NOW ANY RAIN THE INSIDE OF OUR DOOR FILLS WITH WATER AND THEY SAY ITS NOT THERE FAULT AND WONT FIX THAT EITHER. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH FORD. SPOKE TO THEM ABOUT THE AIR BAG AND THEY ALSO SAY THEY WONT FIX. WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS 40000 SUV VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND ITS SUPPOSE TO BE A FAMILY VEHICLE....RIGHT WE GET NO UPDATE OR RECALLS INFO AND OUR DEALERSHIP IS THE WORST I'VE EVER DEALT WITH

STEERING
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. EFFECTS 2004-2011 F-150'S & EXPEDITIONS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED A 2007 EXPEDITION A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WITH 67000 MILES. I'VE BEEN HAVING SEVERAL ISSUES WITH IT BUT I FIGURED IT WAS JUST BECAUSE IT WAS A USED VEHICLE. I MAINTAIN MY CAR VERY WELL GETTING ALL OF THE SERVICE IT NEEDS DONE. ON 4/12/15 I WAS IN THE CAR WITH MY TWO DAUGHTERS AND IT JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT WARNING. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND WE ALL WE VERY AFRAID. LUCKILY THE CAR BEHIND US WAS NOT TOO CLOSE AND WAS ABLE TO PREVENT A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD ON 4/15/15. ALL I WAS GIVEN WAS AN APOLOGY AND TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO AT THIS TIME. LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT THERE WOULD BE A MAJOR RECALL JUST YESTERDAY, 4/29, FOR THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR NEWER VEHICLES. I ALSO SEE AN OUTSTANDING NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS WITH THE SAME VERSION OF MY 2007 VEHICLE. I GUESS THAT FORD IS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE THEY RECALL THIS ISSUE. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET ABOUT THIS AND WILL NOT STOP OVER TURNING OPTIONS UNTIL FORD DOES SOMETHING TO FIT MY VEHICLE. *TR

ENGINE
2007 FORD EXPEDITION. BEGAN TO SPIT AND SPUTTER GOING 45MPH. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO AUTO SHOP FOR REPAIR. COST WAS $1,100 TO REPLACE 8 SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES. FORD USED A DEFECTIVE SPARK PLUG IN THIS VEHICLE. THE PLUG BREAKS OFF IN THE ENGINE WHEN REMOVING THEM. FORD KNEW OF THE ISSUE AND DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS ISSUE WITH THESE PLUGS BEGAN IN EARLY 2000'S. FORD SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THESE PLUGS LONG AGO. THERE ARE MANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS ONGOING RELATED DIRECTLY TO THE FAULTY SPARK PLUG. IF I HAD KNOW ABOUT THE PLUGS BEFORE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK, I WOULD HAVE HAD FORD REPLACE THEM BEFORE I EVEN DROVE IT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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
