ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
A WARNING LIGHT "ENGINE FAIL SAFE" FLASHED AND THE ENGINE STALLED. I WAS FORTUNATE THERE WAS A PARKING LOT I COULD FORCE THE VEHICLE INTO, AS I WAS IN MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN HOUSTON TX, AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THE 2006 FORD EXPEDITION, I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON-LINE AND VIEWED MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME THING. I CHECKED WITH ONE AUTO SHOP, WHICH SAYS THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $800.00, THE FORD DEALER/SERVICE DEPT QUOTED 686.85. THEY BOTH TOLD ME THEY EACH HAVE ANOTHER 2006 EXPEDITION IN THEIR SHOP AT THIS TIME FOR THE SAME REPAIR, AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL REPAIRS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT WITH AN ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN WITH ONLY A HALF SECOND NOTICE. I AM GLAD I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY (IN HOUSTON!) DOING 60 MPH. MY VEHICLE HAS A LITTLE OVER 38,000 MILES ON IT. *KB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 FORD EXPEDITION EDDIE BAUER, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF. SOMETIMES WHILE SITTING IDLE AND OTHER TIMES WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. TONIGHT, WITHIN 1 HOUR THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 15 TIMES WHERE THE ENGINE CUT OFF, I LOST POWER STEERING, HAD TO ROLL OVER TO THE SHOULDER, TURN THE KEY OFF AND BACK ON TO RESTART...SOMETIMES IT WOULD TAKE UP TO 10 MINUTES TO RESTART. I WAS LUCKY WE WERE NOT HIT FROM BEHIND. I HAVE 2 KIDS IN CARSEATS STILL THAT COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. RESEARCH ONLINE REVEALS THAT I AM NOT ALONE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT COULD GET SOMEBODY KILLED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS TWICE. DRIVING ALONG, IT GOES INTO FAIL SAFE MODE AND STOPS DEAD. THE MANUAL STATES THIS IS A COOLANT ISSUE WHICH WAS NOT THE CASE; THERE WAS ADEQUATE COOLANT. DOING SOME RESEARCH ON VARIOUS INTERNET SITES, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2006 EXPEDITIONS. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE UNAWARE OF A PROBLEM. I FIND THIS DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE GIVEN ALL THE SITES REPORTING THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR
