ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING MY 1999 FORD EXPEDITION 5.4L ON THE INTERSTATE AT 55 MPH, A HEARD A NOISE WHICH AT FIRST FELT LIKE SOMETHING CAUGHT IN THE FAN, BUT WAS ALTER DETERMINED THAT A SPARK PLUG #2 PASSENGER SIDE HAD BLOWN OUT AND BROKEN OFF THE COIL CAUSING CONTACT WITH THE 2 FUEL RAIL. I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST FORD TRITON ENGINE OWNERS AND THE ALUMINUM HEAD IS INADEQUATE IN KEEPING THE SPARK PLUGS INTACT AFTER 50, 00 MILES OR SO DUE TO A DESIGN DEFECT. AS I UNDERSTAND IT, FORD HAS RE-DESIGNED THE HEAD ON NEWER MODELS, BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT. I FEEL THAT A RECALL IS NECESSARY BECAUSE THE COIL CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL LINE AND THAT COULD CAUSE A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. *CB

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR
I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE REARVIEW MIRRORS ON MY 1999 EDDIE BAUER EXPEDITION. I NOTICED BEFORE MY WARRANTY RAN OUT THAT THEY BEGAN TO SHOW BLACK SPOTS. THE MAINTANCE DEPARTMENT AT MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP BRUSHED IT OFF AS NO BIG DEAL. AFTER MY WARRANTY RAN OUT, I AGAIN TOLD THE MAINTANCE DEPARTMENT THAT THE MIRRORS WERE WORSENING. NOW AFTER A FEW YEARS HAVE PASSED, AND SPEAKING TO OTHER OWNERS OF THAT SPECIFIC MODEL, THE MIRRORS ARE UNUSEABLE. I FEEL THAT THE MIRRORS ARE A DEFECT OF THE MANUFACTORERS AND THINK THEY SHOULD BE THE ONE TO REPLACE THEM. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED A PRICE OF $400. / MIRROR FOR REPLACEMENT ON MY PART. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER AND RESPOND TO ME.*AK

BOTH EXTERNAL REAR VIEW MIRRORS WITH BUILT-IN TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS HAVE LOST TEH REFLECTIVE SURFACE. IT SEEMS THAT TEH 'SILVERING' ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE MIRROR HAS PEELED OFF. NIGHT VISIBILITY IS NEAR ZERO. DAYTIME IS NOT MUCH BETTER. THE DEFECT HAS RESULTED IN A COUPLE NEAR MISSES WITH RESPECT TO AN ACCIDENT. FORD WILL NOT COVER UNDER (EXTENDED) WARRANTY. I REPORTED IT IN 2001 .*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
I HAVE A 1999 FORD EXPEDITION 5.4L ENGINE, WHILE DRIVUNG THE VEHICLE ONE OF THE SPARK PLUGS BLEW OUT. I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD MOTOR KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE BUT WOUN'T ADMIT IT. I THINK IT IS A BIG SAFETY PROBLEM AND FORD SURE REALIZE IT . IF YOU COULD DO ANYTHING FOR ME AND UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT PURCHASED THIS PIECE OF JUNK PLEASE EMAIL ME THANKS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
THE TRUCK WILL NOT START, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS POWER. AFTER WAITING A FEW HOURS IT STARTS UP WITHOUT A PROBLEM. IT MAY RUN FINE FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND THEN HAVE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS FOR DAYS ON END. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MORE THAN A MONTH NOW. CALLED THREE DEALERSHIPS AND WAS FORCED TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP (TWO HOURS AWAY). THE PROBLEM DID NOT HAPPEN WHEN AT THE DEALERSHIP, WAS NOT LOGGED ON THE COMPUTER AND WAS CHARGED $100.00 TO DO NOTHING. I HAVE HEARD FROM NUMEROUS PEOPLE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE ALARM SYSTEM (THAT DOES NOT LOG PROBLEMS ON THE COMPUTER) THAT IS UNDER WARRANTY. HAVE CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. AFTER NUMEROUS TIMES OF LACK OF STARTING, THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT WE NEEDED TO LEAVE THE TRUCK WITH THEM FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME (THREE TO FOUR DAYS).*AK

1999 FORD EXPEDITION, V8 TRITON 4.6 LITER ENGINE WITH 68,700 MILES HAS OIL LEAK. INSPECTION AT DEALERSHIP DETERMINED HEAD GASKETS NEED REPLACING WITH ESTIMATED COST OF $1200.00 TO $1500.00. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND MAINTAINCE WAS MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO SCHEDULE. A VEHICLE REQUIRING THIS TYPE INVESTMENT SHOULD NOT REQUIRE REPAIRS OF THIS TYPE AT 68,000 MILES. A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.*AK
