VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I OWN A 2001 FORD EXPEDITION. IN THE YEARS SINCE I HAVE HAD IT I HAVE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE IN THAT WHEN THE SUDDEN ACCELARATION HAPPENS I HAVE BEEN AT A STAND STILL AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THEREFOR ALREADY STEPPING ON THE BRAKES. THE ENGINE WILL REV UP ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT HAS CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD A COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN OFTEN BUT WHEN IT DOES YOU CAN OF COURSE HEAR IT, FEEL THE VEHICLE REVING UP AND SEE THE NEEDLES ON THE METERS GO ALL THE WAY TO THE OTHER END. THE TIMES THAT IT DID CATCH ME OFF GUARD THE TRUCK JUMPED FORWARD IN THE SECOND IT TOOK ME TO APPLY THE BRAKES. IT HAS NOT CAUSED ANY CRASH OR INJURIES BUT I WATCHED A REPORT ON NBC CHANNEL 2 NEWS IN HOUSTON AND FELT I SHOULD PROBABLY REPORT THIS IN CASE THIS IS HAPPENING TO MORE PEOPLE WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE IT COULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY SUV OCCASIONALLY ACCELERATES WHEN THE RPMS ARE LOW I.E. WHEN IDLING AT A LIGHT OR COMING TO A SLOW STOP. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY YET BUT I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE ACCELERATION IS NOT ROCKET-LIKE BUT I CAN FEEL A SLIGHT JUMP AND WHEN THIS OCCURS I AM QUICK TO STEP ON THE BRAKE. IT DOES NOT OCCUR ON A REGULAR BASIS.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I OWN A 2001 FORD EXPEDITION 5.4L AND ON AT LEAST TEN DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE HAS SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. LUCKILY, EVERY TIME THIS HAS OCCURED THE VEHICLE WAS AT A FULL STOP AND MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WOULD SURGE FORWARD AND THE TACHOMETER WOULD JUMP TO ABOUT 3500 TO 4000 RPM. THE SURGE ONLY LASTS FOR A FEW SECONDS, BUT IT IS ENOUGH TO LUNGE THE VEHICLE FORWARD. AFTER THE SECOND OR THIRD INCODENT WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE BOUGHT IT (DUB MILLER FORD IN ROSENBERG TX.) AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO GET IT FIXED BEFORE MY WIFE OR CHILD ARE INJURED, THIS IS MY WIFE'S PRIMARY VEHICLE AND MOST OF THE INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED TO HER.*AK

ON 4/14/04, (33,500 MILES) AIR CONDITIONING WAS BLOWING EVEN WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. RADIO. CLOCK AND WINSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. APPARENT CAUSE: WATER LEAK. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY FIRST INCIDENT, SINCE THE PROBLEM IS IN THE SAME AREA, AND IT OCCURED IN AN INTERVAL OF 10 MONTHS AND ONLY 2,000 MILES. APPARENTLY IT IS NOT COVERED.*AK

TIRES:TREAD/BELT, EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER
WE OWN A 2001 EXPEDITION THE TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE ARE THE SAME TIRES RECALLED P275/60R17. I WENT TO GREENVILLE TO PICK UP MY SON ON THE WAY HOME I FELT THE VEHICLE SHAKING AND DID'NT KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND WE HEAR A BANG NOISE I PULLED OVER INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND CHECKED MY TIRES THE BACK RIGHT SIDE HADE A LARGE BARE SPOT ON THE TIRE SHOWING THE SEPARATION AND WIRES OF THE TIRE. MY SON WHO JUST HAD SURGERYON HIS FOOT HAD TO CHANGE THE TIRE. NO-ONE WAS HURT. I KNOW THE LORD WAS TRUELY LOOKING OUT FOR US BECAUSE FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED FROM THESE TIRES SEPARATING. I CALLED BEN SATCHER WHERE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE DIDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT SERIAL NUMBER FOR THE RECALLED TIRES AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING FOR US. I THINK IF WE WERE KILLED THEY'D HAVE A BIGGER PROBLEM ON THEIR HANDS. BUT THE PURPOSE OF WRITING THIS IS TO LET YOU KNOW I THINK MORE TIRES WERE EFFECTED THAN CONTINENTAL TIRES IS CONSIDERING. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO NEXT BECAUSE I BELIEVE OTHERS WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THESE TYPE OF PROBLEMS AND THEY JUST DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET HELP EITHER. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE ANOTHER INVESTIGATION OF THESE TIRES. I HAVE SEEN THE COMPLAINTS POSTED AND THEY SEEM TO HAVE BEEN REPORTED AFTER THE ORGINIAL RECALL HAS EXPIRED AND WE SHOULD NOT BE PENALIZED FOR THIS PROBLEM HAPPENING AFTER YOUR EXPIRATION DATE OF HELPING PEOPLE. IF A TIRE IS BAD IT'S SEEMS TO ME YOU SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PUT A CAP ON THAT. *AK

TIRE TREAD SEPARATED. (NAR) *PH WHILE DRIVING A PIECE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE TREAD CAME OFF THE TIRE. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED WITH THE SPARE. NEXT THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE TREAD SEPARATED WHICH CAUSED TEMPORARY LOSS OF CONTROL. THE TIRE DAMAGED THE REAR BUMPER AND WHEEL WELL. WHILE DOING RESEARCH THE CONSUMER CAME ACROSS A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE TIRES. THE CONSUMER REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE PRICE OF FIVE NEW TIRES, DAMAGE AND MENTAL ANGUISH. THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION ALSO HAD TO BE OVERHAULED BECAUSE IT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO VIBRATE WHILE CHANGING GEARS.
