MY 2006 FORD EXPEDITION SUDDENLY SHUTS DOWN FOR THE THIRD TIME NOW WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN SUDDENLY AND GIVES OUT THE ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE MESSAGE ON THE BOARD.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE, EQUIPMENT, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
PURCHASED VEHICLE IN JANUARY 2006, BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE BACK WINDOW WAS LEAKING. HAD THE BACK WINDOW REPAIRED, STILL LEAKS. THE SEAL ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER'S FRONT WINDOWS WERE MISSING. TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK 3 TIMES BEFORE THIS WAS FIXED. AFTER THAT, THE ENGINE BEGAN MAKING A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK IN THE SHOP AT LEAST 3 TIMES, ONE TIME THEY KEPT IT FOR A WEEK, CLAIM THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE. THEY THEN DECIDED IT WAS THE A/C COMPRESSOR AND WE SHOULD HAVE THE A/C OFF WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE. TRIED IT, DOES NOT WORK. NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, IT IS MAKING THE LOUD GRINDING NOISE EVEN MORE. AT ONE POINT, WE WERE TOLD BY A SALESMAN THAT WE SHOULD JUST CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE IF WE BREAK DOWN WHILE ON VACATION. JUST WHAT WE WANTED WAS TO HAVE OUR VACATION RUINED BY A FORD SCREW UP. THE DEALER WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND WON'T FIX IT. ON TOP OF THAT THE DVD ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE WON'T STAY CLOSED, THE COVER OVER THE MOTOR FOR THE THIRD SEAT HAS COME DETACHED AND DOESN'T FOLD UP RIGHT AND THE AIR CONDITIONER IS WARM WHEN SITTING STILL. ALL PROBLEMS THAT A MAJOR CORPORATION SHOULD NOT HAVE ON A VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN ON THE MARKET FOR SEVERAL YEARS. WOULD REALLY LIKE ALL THE PROBLEMS COMPLETELY FIXED OR A REPLACEMENT. DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN HAD VERY HARD FRONTAL IMPACT EITHER.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:GEAR POSITION INDICATION (PRNDL)
THE DEALERSHIP HAD JUST FINISHED REMOVING AN EXTRA ALARM THEY HAD INSTALLED ON THE 2006 FORD EXPEDITION. I WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT AND WAS EXCITED ABOUT GETTING A NEW TRUCK, AND ENDED UP SHIFTING IT OUT OF GEAR WITHOUT MY FOOT BEING ON THE BRAKE. I TOLD OUR SALES PERSON AND THEY WANTED TO FIX IT BEFORE WE TOOK DELIVERY OF THE TRUCK. THE NEXT DAY THEY CALLED AND TOLD US IT WAS READY. THEY HAD REPLACED THE SHIFT ACTUATOR. WE CHECKED IT AND IT SEEMED TO WORK FINE. A YEAR LATER, MY KIDS WERE GETTING IN THE CAR, I WENT BACK INTO THE HOUSE TO GET SOMETHING I FORGOT, AND MY 2 YEAR OLD CLIMBED IN O THE FRONT SEAT AND WAS PLAYING AND PULLED THE TRUCK OUT OF GEAR WITHOUT HER FOOT BEING ON THE BRAKE AND NO KEYS IN THE IGNITION. THE TRUCK ROLLED OUT OF DRIVEWAY ACROSS THE STREET AND DOWN MY NEIGHBOR'S YARD AND HIT A TREE. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT. MY 10 YEAR OLD WAS IN THE BACK SEAT AND MY 7 YEAR OLD WAS STANDING NEXT TO THE TRUCK. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT? WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NEITHER FORD NOR DEALERSHIP FELT THAT THEY SHOULD PAY FOR THE $1,343.18 WORTH OF DAMAGES TO OUR VEHICLE.*AK

AIR BAGS
I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT GOING ABOUT 35 MPH AT THE TIME. I PRESSED THE BRAKES AND HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED . DRIVER HAD ALL CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE . THOUGHT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SENSOR THAT MADE THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOY. HAD THE TRUCK CHECKED BY GALPIN FORD, BUT THEY SAID THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I AM AFRAID THAT THE AIR BAGS WILL DEPLOY AT ANY TIME FOR ANY APPARENT REASON SINCE THEY DID NOT DEPLOY AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
FRONT ROTORS TURNED BY DEALER SEVERAL WEEKS PRIOR DUE TO VIBRATION WHEN STOPPING. SAME PROBLEM RETURNED AND DEALER THIS TIME REPLACED ROTORS AND CALIPERS. NOW BRAKES FEEL WEAK, AND TRAVEL OF PEDAL HAS INCREASED BEFORE BRAKES ENGAGE. DEALER CLAIMS THIS IS WITHIN NORMAL OPERATION . DEALER CLAIMS NEW CALIPERS HAVE LARGER PISTON SO THIS IS REASON FOR INCREASED PEDEL TRAVEL AND DIFFERENT FEEL OF BRAKES ? BRAKES DO NOT FEEL AS IF STOPPING VEHICLE AS BEFORE PROBLEM BEGAN . RETURNED AGAIN TO ASK DEALER 3-19-07 TO BLEED SYSTEM DUE TO SOFT PEDAL AND CONCERN. SYSTEM BLED MANUALLY THIS TIME AND PEDAL GOT SOME WHAT BETTER . STILL NOT AS FIRM AS WHEN PROBLEM STARTED. PEDAL TRAVEL INCREASE IS STILL PRESENT BEFORE BRAKES ENGAGE. VEH DOES NOT STOP AS WELL AS BEFORE PROBLEM BEGAN .
