AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, ENGINE, WHEELS
I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY, FM 185. I WAS DRIVING NORTHEAST WHILE THE OTHER DRIVER WAS SOMEWHAT STOPPED HEADING WEST, TRYING TO TURN SOUTH ONTO CATTLE DRIVE. THE OTHER DRIVER WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION AWAITING TO TURN LEFT. THE OTHER DRIVER TURNED LEFT IN FRONT OF ME AS I WAS HEADED STRAIGHT. THE INITIAL IMPACT WAS DRIVER'S FRONT SIDE AND THEN DOWN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. WE HIT, AND THEN MY VEHICLE DID A 180 DEGREE TURN WHICH TURNED MY VEHICLE AROUND FACING MY INITIAL PATH OF DIRECTION. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAD CURTAIN SIDE AIRBAGS, DRIVER, AND PASSENGER AIR BAGS AS WELL. THE AIRBAGS OF THE CAR CAUSING THE ACCIDENT DID DEPLOY. *TR

ENGINE
MY 2006 FORD EXPEDITION HAS SHUT OFF MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THE SUMMER OF 2010. IT WAS SERVICED IN THE SUMMER OF 2010 AND RAN FINE FOR A WHILE. IN 2011, IT STARTED CUTTING OFF AT RANDOM TIMES. I COULD BE AT A STOP LIGHT, INTERSECTION, DRIVING, OR TURNING THE CORNER. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TESTED ABOUT 3 TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THE SCARIEST INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I TURNED ON THE HAZARD LIGHT, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND STARTED IT VERY QUICKLY. THE VEHICLE STARTED UP WITH NO PROBLEM. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME OR COMING TOWARDS ME. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE POST ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND FORD HAS NOT RECALLED THE VEHICLE YET. PLEASE HELP! *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
ENGINE WAS LOSING POWER UNDER LOAD (ONLY WHILE ACCELERATING). NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EVER CAME ON. AT 88,000 MILES FIGURED THAT NOT ONLY WILL I REPLACE ALL 8 SPARK PLUGS, BUT WOULD REPLACE ALL 8 COIL PACKS AS WELL. UPON REMOVAL ON THE SPARK PLUGS, 1 SPARK PLUG BROKE (SO FAR) LEAVING THE BOTTOM PIECE INSIDE THE HEAD. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AS IT CAN LEAD MANY LIKE MYSELF WITH AN OUTRAGEOUS EXPENSE TO PROPERLY REMOVE THE BROKEN SPARK PLUG AND CAN IN THE LONG RUN DAMAGE THE ALUMINUM HEAD TOO. THEY ARE MOTOR CRAFT PLATINUM (CERAMIC INSIDE) SPARK PLUGS. NAPA SELLS A TOOL TO EXTRACT THE BROKE PLUG OUT. WHY IN THE WORLD THIS IS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE ON WITHOUT A RECALL IS BEYOND ME. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THESE ISSUES AND SHOULD HAVE A MASSIVE RECALL FOR THE ANY VEHICLE THAT CONTAINS THESE SPARK PLUGS, LIKE MY 2006 MODEL WITH A 5.3L DOES. I HAVE CALLED FORD AND FILED A FORMER COMPLAINT AND MANY OTHERS NEED TO DO SO AS WELL. I AM ALSO GOING TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB, AS I SPENT A HUGE CHUNK OF CHANGE AND PROPERLY MAINTAIN MY VEHICLE ON A DAILY BASIS. IF MY TRUCK HAS TO GO INTO A REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE THIS PLUG REMOVED, I WILL BE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN FORD'S CUSTOMER SERVICE. I HAVE 4 FORDS TODAY.......NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN THIS COSTLY! I HAVE A 71 BRONCO, 98 EXPLORER, 01 RANGER, AND 06 EXPEDITION. I GUESS THIS WILL DETERMINE IF I WILL STAY AS A FORD OWNER IN THE FUTURE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I WAS ON HWY DOING 55 GETTING READY TO TAKE MY TURN OFF WHEN ENGINE SAFE MODE MESSAGE CAME ON. I THEN REALIZED THAT I HAD NO POWER EVEN THOUGH LIGHTS, RADIO, AND A/C WAS STILL ON. NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE I COASTED THE VEHICLE TO SIDE OF HWY AS FAR AS POSSIBLE, TURNED KEY TO OFF AND THAN BACK ON AND IT STARTED UP. I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME WITHOUT FURTHER PROBLEM AND BACK TO WORK. UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE A 45 MINUTE DRIVE EVERY NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING TO AND FROM MY WORK WHICH IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND NOT HAVE SUCH A GOOD CIRCUMSTANCE. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OVER SEVERAL YEARS TO FORD ON THIS WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN RECALLED? *JS

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY CUSTOMER CALLED TO INFORM ME THAT HE WAS SMELLING RAW FUEL INSIDE THE VEHICLE ON APRIL 13,2012. I TOLD HIM IT WAS PROBABLY A STUCK INJECTOR. BEING A FORD SENIOR MASTER CERTIFIED AUTO REPAIR TECHNICIAN/ASE MASTER CERTIFIED FOR FORD DEALERSHIPS FOR OVER 14 YEARS I WAS AWARE OF THE INJECTOR CONCERNS WITH THESE VEHICLES. I CHECKED THE ENGINE OIL TO FIND THAT IT WAS OVERFILLED A QUART AND SMELLED OF FUEL. MY DIAGNOSIS WAS CORRECT #2 INJECTOR WAS LEAKING BADLY. I REPLACED #2 INJECTOR AND CHANGED THE OIL,FOUND SMALL SHARDS OF RUST IN THE INJECTOR THAT COULD ONLY HAVE COME FROM THE FUEL RAIL AS THEY WERE TOO LARGE TO HAVE BY-PASSED THE FUEL FILTER. 2005 F SERIESEXPEDITIONS/NAVIGATORS HAD A RECALL ON INJECTORS AND THE 2006-2007 VEHICLES SHOULD HAVE HAD THE RECALL. THIS COULD BE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZZARD CAUSING MAJOR ENGINE DAMAGE IF IT OCCURS AGAIN.RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THOUSANDS OF FORD EXPEDITION,LICOLN NAVIGATOR AND F-150-250 OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH INJECTORS. I AM ALSO AWARE OF A RECALL THAT WAS ON CERTAIN EXPEDITIONS AND NAVIGATORS FOR A NEW FUEL RAIL THAT WAS RUSTING INTERNALLY CAUSING THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT THE RECALL JUST CLAIMS THAT THE FUEL RAILS WERE "DEFECTIVE".FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS AWARE OF THESE CONCERNS AND REFUSES TO RESOLVE OR HELP ANY OWNERS OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES OUTSIDE THE RECALL. IF THESE VEHICLES ARE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE WITHOUT BEING PROPERLY REPAIRED EVENTUALLY SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE INJURED OR WORSE. I HAVE WITNESSED ENGINE EXPLOSIONS AND FIRES CAUSED BY LEAKING INJECTORS. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND SHOULD BE ADRESSED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY.I URGE ANY FORD OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM TO FILE A CLAIM WITH NHTSA AS WELL AS FORD MOTOR COMPANY SO THEY CAN RESOLVE THESE CONCERN BEFORE ANYONE IS HARMED.ALL MY CUSTOMER WANTS IS THE FUEL RAIL AND INJECTORS REPLACED. *TR

2006 FORD EXPEDITION LIMITED. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS WARRANTY REPAIR DISPUTE AND DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW BEING EXTREMELY SLOW IN THE CLOSING OPERATION *TGW THE DEALER LUBED THE WINDOW AND STATED THERE WAS NO PROBLEM FOUND. AFTER COMPLAINING SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THE WINDOW, THE DEALER FINALLY DETERMINED THERE WAS A PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE PARTS AND LABOR WERE NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM EXISTED GOING BACK TO DEC 11, 2006 AND THE DEFECT WAS NOT ADDRESSED OR CORRECTED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER THE ORIGINAL FACTORY WARRANTY. THE CONSUMER STATED HE SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS THAT WERE CALLOUSLY OVERLOOKED AND IGNORED BY THE DEALER. ALSO, THE LOWER RADIATOR SUPPORT TO THE BODY MOUNT WAS SEVERELY RUSTED AND SHOWED SIGNS OF ACTUAL MATERIAL FAILURE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE CONDITION CAN AND WILL EVOLVE INTO THE ROOT CAUSE OF BOTH MECHANICAL AND SAFETY RELATED FAILURES. THE MAJOR BODY AND FRONT FRAME SUPPORT FAILING UNDER DRIVING CONDITIONS COULD LEAD TO ENGINE FAILURE, AND LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE MOST SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN, WAS THE FRONT BRAKE LINES WHICH WERE SHOWING SIGNS OF SERIOUS RUST. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE LINES COULD ONLY BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY IF THERE WERE SIGNS OF LEAKAGE. THE CONSUMER STATED CORROSION IN THE FORM OF RUST WOULD COMPROMISE THE INTEGRITY OF THE STEEL BRAKE LINES, ALLOWING BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK OUT RESULTING IN A TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING POWER. THE LEFT REAR DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE, THE DRIVER'S FRONT DOOR HAD TO BE SLAMMED IN ORDER FOR IT TO CLOSE PROPERLY, THE FRONT AXLE DRIVE PINION WAS LEAKING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED.*JB
