AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES AN HOUR THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION. IF I SPEED UP IT GOES AWAY. AFTER DRIVE FOR AWHILE THE OVERDIVE LIGHT STARTS TO BLINK. IF I TURN OFF THE ENGINE THE LIGHT STOPS BLINKING. THE CAR PERFORMS MUCH BETTER WITH THE OVERDIVE OFF. HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT AND IT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISSION SHOP SAYS THE PROBLEM IS NOT IN THE TRANSMISSUON ITSELF. FORD DEALER RECOMMENDED CHANGING THE TROTTLE SENSON, $100 LATER THAT DIDN'T WORK. MECHANICS IN TOWN CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. IT SOUNDS LIKE 2 GEARS TRYING TO ENGAGE, THUS THE GRINDING NOISE. WHEN I DRIVE WITH THE OVERDRIVE OFF IT HAPPENS AT A HIGHER SPEED. ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVI G UP A LONG INCLINE. GOING CRAZY WITH THIS PROBLEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WHILE IN TRAFFIC, AT LEAST 100 TIMES IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS (AT VARIABLE SPEEDS FROM 5 TO 65 MPH ON CITY STREETS AND FREEWAYS) MOST RECENTLY TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK, THE RPMS DROP BELOW 500 AND THE VEHICLE DIES AND "ENGINE FAILSAFE MODE" LIGHTS UP ON THE DASH. I HAVE TO EITHER COAST TO PULL OVER OR DEAD STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE TO TURN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY OFF (EVEN THOUGH IN FAILSAFE MODE ENGINE IS OFF, THE ELECTRONICS ARE STILL ON) AND THEN RESTART AND THEN IT WILL DRIVE JUST FINE UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. IT HAPPENS ANYWHERE FROM ONCE EVERY 6 MONTHS TO 6 TIMES IN 1 WEEK. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH IF I DRIVE WITH BOTH FEET IN TRAFFIC AND MAINTAIN ABOUT 800-1000 RMPS AT ALL TIMES IT DOESN'T DO THIS, HOWEVER THIS CANNOT BE DONE ALL THE TIME ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE LARGE VEHICLE QUICKLY OR TURNING IN AN INTERSECTION. NOTHING HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED BY DEALERSHIP AS NO CODES ARE THROWN. I ALSO OWN A OBD2 READER AND NO CODES HAVE EVER LISTED UNLESS ITS TIME TO CHANGE THE SPARK PLUGS. SEVERAL DIFFERENT MECHANICS, FORUMS AND BRAINSTORMING HAS NOT FIGURED IT OUT. I HAVE REPLACED MOSTLY EVERYTHING WITH EXCEPTION TO A NEW TRANSMISSION AND COMPUTER. MOSTLY EVERYTHING INCLUDING WIRES AND VACUUM LINES AND GASKETS HAVE BEEN REPLACED DUE TO MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS FROM EVERYTHING ELSE THAT HAS GONE WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE PUT ABOUT $10K INTO NEW PARTS FOR THIS VEHICLE. I BOUGHT IT WITH 60K MILES ON IT AND IT NOW HAS 117K, ITS A DAILY DRIVER WITH 28 MILES OF TRAVEL 5 DAYS A WEEK. ALSO THE ONLY VEHICLE THAT FITS ALL OF THE CHILDREN FOR SOCCER, TRACK AND VOLLEYBALL TRAVELING TOURNAMENTS/GAMES. LUCKILY IT DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN WHEN I'M NOT IN TRAFFIC SO THE KIDS AREN'T USUALLY WITH ME BUT IT IS VERY SCARY NOT TO KNOW IF YOU ARE GOING TO STOP OR IF THE PEOPLE BEHIND YOU ARE GOING TO HIT YOU OR NOT.

ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE ENGAGES AT VARIOUS AND UNPREDICTABLE SPEEDS AND AT ANY GIVEN TIME. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND SHOWS NO CODE AFTERWARDS. A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD. I HAVE FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT I CAN FIND NO INDICATION THAT FORD HAS BEEN WILLING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. WHEN ASKED FOR THE DATE THE INCIDENT HAPPENED I AM ENTERING THE DATE OF COMPLAINT BECAUSE THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. NO CODES DOES NOT MEAN THE VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE ISSUES. FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE....RECALL AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A 2006 FORD EXPEDITION EDDIE BAUER 4X2 AND MY PROBLEM STARTED AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2010. IN 2011 I WAS IN TAMPA, FL AFTER GASSING UP I WENT TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN GEAR AND THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER BROKE OFF THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO SARASOTA FORD IN SARASOTA, FL WHERE I LIVE. THAT'S THE FIRST TIME NOW THE SECOND TIME I WAS LEAVING FOR WORK AT 4:30 AM IN NOVEMBER OR DECEMBER OF 2014 I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WENT TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN GEAR WHEN THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER BROKE OFF. THE THIRD EVENT HAPPENED ON FRIDAY JULY 8, 2016 AT 4: 28 AM IN MY DRIVEWAY I WAS LEAVING FOR WORK AS I WENT TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN GEAR THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER BROKE OFF. I HAVE HAD TO MISS TWO DAYS OF WORK BY USING PTO/PAID TIME OFF WHICH IS MY VACATION TIME DUE TO THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER CONTINUALLY BREAKING OFF. SARASOTA FORD TOLD ME THAT THE SHIFT LEVER HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED SO THEY HAD TO LOCATE A USED PART FOR THE LAST REPAIR. I HAVE FILED TWO COMPLAINTS WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO WHICH THEY WILL NOT DISCLOSE ANY FINDINGS OR OTHER RELATED COMPLAINTS ONLY THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS. I HAVE HAD SARASOTA FORD CHARGE ME FOR A NEW PART THEN TAKE SOME MONEY OFF AFTER I FOUND OUT IT WAS A USED PART TO WHICH THEY NEVER NOTIFIED OR ASKED ME IF IT WAS OK TO PUT USED PARTS ON MY VEHICLE. THE SALES MANAGER BILL GODFREY LIED TO ME WHEN I ASKED FOR COPIES OF MY PRIOR INVOICES IN REFERENCE TO THIS ONGOING ISSUE. HE STATED THAT THE RECORDS WERE NOT ON SITE WHEN IN FACT THEY WERE AS I BELIEVE ONE OF THE FILE CLERKS ACTUALLY TOLD US THESE RECORDS WHERE ON SITE IN A OFFICE AND SHE SUPPLIED US WITH THE DOCUMENTS.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, STEERING
MY 2006 FORD EXPEDITION'S "ENGINE FAILSAFE MODE" INITIATED AND ALERTED ME WHILE I WAS OPERATING THE VEHICLE, WHICH RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN COMPLETELY AND LOSING ALL POWER. MY MAIN ISSUE/CONCERN WITH THIS IS THAT I LOST STEERING AND A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF BRAKING POWER. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ON A SIDE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER OUT OF HARM'S WAY. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO START A COUPLE OF TRIES LATER, AND I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE INTO A SERVICE SHOP SAFELY, WHICH WAS OVER AN HOUR AWAY. I CANNOT HELP BUT BE GRATEFUL FOR GETTING HOME SAFELY, BUT AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THESE VEHICLES EXPERIENCING SUCH ISSUES AS THEY TRAVERSE MAJOR THOROUGHFARES, ESPECIALLY ON A HIGHWAY TRAVELING AROUND 70MPH. THIS POTENTIALLY POSED VERY IMPACTFUL CONSEQUENCES AND PUTS MYSELF, FRIENDS/FAMILY TRAVELING WITH ME, AND OTHER MOTORISTS.
