ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD EXPEDITION. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND READ, "ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE." AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE CONTACT BEGAN SMELLING A BURNING OIL ODOR IN THE VEHICLE. THE SMELL BECAME STRONGER AND THEN TURNED INTO A GASEOUS ODOR, WHICH WAS ALSO ENTERING THROUGH THE INTERIOR VENTS. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, BUT COULD NOT LOCATE ANY GAS LEAK. THE ODOR BECAME SO OVERPOWERING THAT ONE OF THE OCCUPANTS HAD A NOSE BLEED AND SEVERAL OTHER OCCUPANTS SUFFERED HEADACHES AND STOMACH ACHES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS TOO HIGH AND CAUSED THE FUEL ODOR. THE ODOR IS STILL PRESENT. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 66,000.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
2006 FORD EXPEDITION, HAS STOPPED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE IN ROUTE SOMEWHERE. JUST STOPS AT ONCE AND SAFE MODE FAILURE LIGHT COMES ON. POWER STEERING FAILS, AS WELL AS ENGINE STOPPING. HAVE HAD REBUILT TRANSMISSION, REPLACE THE THROTTLE, AND SEVERAL OTHER THINGS INCLUDING I BELIEVE AIR PUMP. NONE OF THIS CHEAP. BUT BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. HAVE BEEN VERY BLESSED THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN BEHIND ME WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED OR ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND FORD NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS TO OCCUR. *TR

THANKFULLY NO CRASH HAS HAPPENED YET. HOWEVER, MY COMPLAINT DEALS WITH MY 2006 LIMITED FORD EXPEDITION. IN THE BACK WHERE THE THIRD ROW SEATS ARE LOCATED, THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY FOR THOSE PASSENGERS TO ESCAPE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE BACK WINDOW DOES NOT HAVE A SWITCH/RELEASE TO OPEN ANY WINDOWS. THE DOOR DOES NOT HAVE ANY TYPE OF DEVICE TO OPEN THE TAIL GATE. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG FAILURE TO DEPLOY-WAS INVOLVED IN A SINGLE CAR ACCIDENT ON NOV. 24, 2008...HIT BLACK ICE PATCH, ENDED UP IN A DEEP DITCH AND CREEK BED. WAS TRAVELING APPROX 35 TO 40 MPH. FRONT END OF CAR EXPERIENCED HEAVY DAMAGE. DRIVER WAS WEARING SEAT BELT. PASSENGER AIRBAG DID DEPLOY, NO PASSENGER PRESENT IN VEHICLE. DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!!!! VEHICLE SUSTAINED $13,000 IN ESTIMATED REPAIRS. MILEAGE ON VEHICLE WAS 53,000. DUE TO EXTENSIVE REPAIR ESTIMATE, VEHICLE WAS DEEMED TOTALED. WE ARE SEEING SEVERAL OTHERS IN THIS WEBSITE AND OTHERS ON THE INTERNET WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED FRONT END AND REAR END CRASHES WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR AUTO AND OBVIOUSLY NO ONE AT FORD IS BOTHERING TO PHONE PEOPLE BACK, NOR INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM OR DO A RECALL. HOW MANY LIVES WILL BE TAKEN BEFORE ANYONE DOES ANYTHING?? LUCKILY I WAS NOT INJURED IN THE CRASH OTHER THAN A SORE NECK FROM THE SEATBELT LASHING. WE PAY FOR THESE "SAFETY" ITEMS ON OUR VEHICLES BUT WHAT GOOD ARE THEY WHEN THEY DO NOT WORK????????? IT'S INSANE. *TR

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
I AM DRIVING A 2006 FORD EXPEDITION. THE OTHER MORNING, I PUT MY CHILD IN THE CAR SEAT BEHIND THE DRIVERS SEAT. I HALF ENTERED THE CAR TO TURN ON THE ENGINE, AS IT WAS CHILLY OUT. ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS AFTER TURNING THE CAR ON, I HEARD A HUGE EXPLOSION. SOUNDED AS IF A RIFLE HAD BEEN SHOT NEXT TO MY HEAD. THE BABY WENT NUTS. I LOOKED AROUND, AND THE SIDE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD TURNED THE CAR ON THAT DAY. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT. IF IT HAD HAPPENED ON MY SIDE, IT WOULD HAVE SLAMMED INTO ME PRETTY GOOD, AS WELL AS MY CHILD. THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM MADE ME PAY TO HAVE IT DRIVEN TO THEM AND THE RENTAL CAR. THEY WOULD NOT DRIVE IT THEMSELVES FOR FEAR OF ANOTHER AIR BAG DEPLOYING WHILE THEY WERE DRIVING. THIS IS OF COURSE WHY I WOULDN'T DRIVE IT EITHER. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY ARE INSISTING I PAY FOR THE REPAIR. IT IS $2500. I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION AND AM CONCERNED IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN, MAYBE WHILE I AM DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP SAID SINCE NO ONE WAS HURT IN THIS INSTANCE IT WASN'T THERE PROBLEM. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE? SINCERELY, JENNIFER VESTAL *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
MY BEST FRIEND FATHER AND GRANDMOTHER DIED INSIDE AN SUV ACCIDENT THAT EMERGED INTO A SWIMMING POOL. WINDOWS WERE CLOSED. THERE WAS NO WAY OUT OF THE SUV DUE TO POWER WINDOWS. THEY SAT THERE WAITING FOR DEATH. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE TO ALL VEHICLES WHO ARE BUILT WITH POWER WINDOWS. THE SAME WAY THAT MOST MODERN VEHICLES NOW HAVE A WAY OF ESCAPING FROM THE TRUNK OF A CAR WHY ISN'T THERE SOMETHING WHERE THERE IS A WAY OF ESCAPING FROM A CAR WINDOW IF THE CAR GOES INTO A POOL OF DEEP WATER ABOVE 5 FEET. THESE AUTOMOBILE COMPANIES NEED TO CREATE AN EMERGENCY MECHANISM IN ALL POWER WINDOWS IN CASE OF THE CAR GOING INTO A LAKE, RIVER, POOL, ETC. ALL WINDOWS FRONT AND BACK WINDOWS SHOULD HAVE A MANUAL ROLL DOWN KNOB OR WHATEVER IT IS CALLED FOR SUCH ACCIDENTS. I'M PRETTY SURE THAT IF MY FRIENDS FATHER HAD SOME KIND OF TOOL TO BREAK THE WINDOWS HE WOULD OF BUT WHO IS TO SAY THAT THE RUSHING WATERS WOULD HAVE STILL KILLED THEM. THEY WERE SENIOR CITIZENS THAT DIED SO TRAGICALLY AND THEY ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE RIGHT DEPARTMENT FOR SUCH A COMPLAINT, BUT IF THIS IS THE WRONG DEPARTMENT CAN SOMEONE PLEASE DIRECT ME TO THE PROPER CHANNELS. THIS INCIDENT IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION BUT IT IS NOT KNOWN HOW THEY ENDED UP INSIDE A SWIMMING POOL. IF SUCH MECHANISM IS INVENTED, IT SHOULD NOT BE AN OPTIONAL IT SHOULD BE MANDATORY JUST LIKE SEATBELTS AND AIRBAGS AND SHOULD NOT BE COSTLY TO THE CONSUMER DUE TO THAT IT IS A LIFE SAVING TO HUMANS AND ANIMALS FOR THAT FACT. I HOPE I AM UNDERSTOOD AND THAT THIS COMPLAINT SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AS IT WILL SAVE A LOT OF LIVES. I ALSO HOPE THAT I HAVE MADE MY SELF CLEAR AND UNDERSTANDABLE. THANK YOU. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
AUGUST 21 ON THE WAY TO WORK (4 MILE DRIVE) THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE AND LOST POWER,CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER,AND THEY CAN NOT FIGURE WHAT IS GOING ON,SO THEY SAID THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE CODES ARE P0022-P0305-P0307-P1184-P2198-P2273 MY FAMILY JUST CAME BACK FROM A 3000 TRIP ,I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HAVING THIS HAPPENING TO US DURING THIS TIME. I BEEN LOOKING FOR THE SAME TYPE OF TROUBLE TO THIS TRUCKS AND FOUND THAT THERE IS A NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT HAVING TO REPLACE ENGINES RANGING FROM 38,000 MILES TO ABOUT 60,000MILES. THE PRICE OF THIS CARS ARE WELL OVER $35,000 TO HAVING TO SPEND ANOTHER $7,000 WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS OF OUR ECONOMY RIGHT NOW A NORMAL PERSON LIKE ME CAN NOT AFFORD ANOTHER RIP OFF BY ONE OF THE BIG COMPANIES,LIKE FORD. ALL I'M ASKING IS THAT THEY TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ENGINE TROUBLES AND REPAIR LIKE THEY SUPPOSED TO. *TR
