MY 2003 FORD EXPEDITION XLT WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. I OPENED THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND GOT IN. I STARTED THE CAR AND THEN TRIED TO ROLL DOWN THE ELCTRIC WIDOW ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. AS SOON AS THE BUTTON WAS PUSHED, THE WINDOW EXPLODED, COVERING ME WITH GLASS PIECES.*AK

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR
2003 FORD EXPEDITION EDDIE BAUER EDITION. SIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS WITH BACKUP ASSIST WILL MALFUNCTION AT ANYTIME CAUSING YOU TO CONSTANTLY BE AWARE THAT THE MIRRORS ARE NEVER GOING TO BE RESET TO THE DRIVERS DESIRED SETTING. THIS IS A ROAD HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. IF THE DRIVERS OF THESE PARTICULAR VEHICLES HAVE TO CHECK THERE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS TO CHANGE LANES ETC. THEY RUN THE RISK OF SIDE IMPACTING SOMEONE OR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT .*AK

TIRES
2003 EXPEDITION SHAKES WHILE TRAVELING, WITH THE SHAKE/VIBRATION INCREASING AS SPEED INCREASES, AND BECOMES SEVERE. HAVE HAD TO DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES NOW, BUT CONTINUES. IN SEARCHING ONLINE, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE, AND APPEARS TO BE LINKED TO THE CONTINENTAL TIRES. BETWEEN THE SHAKE IN THE VEHICLE AND UNKNOWN WHAT IS OCCURRING TO TIRES AS THE VEHICLE TRAVELS AND SHAKES, I WOULD THINK THERE IS A RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE TIRES THAT COULD RESULT IN INJURY TO THE OCCUPANTS. FORD SEEMS TO BE SHIRKING THE ISSUE, WHICH SEEMS STRANGE TO ME BASED ON THE ISSUES THEY EXPERIENCED WITH TIRES AND THE EXPLORER.*AK

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR
I HAVE A 2003 FORD EXPEDITION WHICH WON'T RETAIN THE CORRECT SETTING IN THE PASSENGER'S SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR. I HAD THE DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR FIXED ALREADY, BUT THE DEALER REFUSES TO FIX THE PASSENGER'S SIDE DUE TO INABILITY TO VERIFY THE COMPLAINT. IT SEEMS TO BE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, BUT OFTEN WHEN I GO TO CHANGE LANES THE MIRROR IS NOT SET TO THE CORRECT POSITION, PRESENTING A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD. I FEEL THEY SHOULD GO AHEAD AND REPLACE THE MIRROR SINCE I'M HAVING THE PROBLEM, WHETHER THEY CAN DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM OR NOT.*AK
