VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON MY 99 EXPEDITION COME ON AT WILL. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO PIN POINT EXACTLY WHEN IT HAPPENS, BECAUSE IT JUST HAPPENS OUT OF THE BLUE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED AND TAKEN TO THE DEALER FROM WHICH I PURCHASED THE CAR. I WAS TOLD A PART WAS ORDERED ON 9/7/99 BUT TO DATE I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THE PART HAS BEEN DELIVERED. I SAW A NEWS REPORT ON ABC AND AM REPORTING THE PROBLEM AS INSTRUCTED.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED GOING ON WITHOUT ME TURNING THE WIPERS ON. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT I HAD HIT THE BUTTON BUT THEN IT STARTED TO HAPPEN MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY SO I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAD MADE AN APPOINTMENT BUT AS SOON AS I TOLD THE GENTLEMAN WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS HE TOLD NOT TO EVEN LEAVE THE TRUCK THAT DAY -HE KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND WAS GOING TO ORDER THE PART FOR ME. I ASKED APPROXIMATELY HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE TO GET IT IN AND HE REPLIED WITH A SHRUG OF HIS SHOULDERS THAT THE PART THAT I NEEDED WAS BACK-ORDERED. THAT WAS ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO AND I HAD HEARD NOTHING ABOUT IT UNTIL I SAW A REPORT ON CHANNEL 7 NEWS ABOUT ALL OF THE PROBLEMS.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
WIPERS WOULD JUST TURN ON WITHOUT ANY CONTACT WITH MULITI-FUNCTION SWITCH. NO COMMON TIME, DRIVING PATTERN OR PERSON FOUND..ALL AT THE WIM OF THE VEHICLE. DEALER WAS VERY RELUCTANT TO REPAIR PROBLEM. DIDN'T BELEIVE MY WIFE THE FIRST TIME AND NEVER FIXED IT. THEN AFTER SECOND APPT THEY CANCELLED BECAUSE THEY (FORD) DIDN'T HAVE A "FIX" TO THE PROBLEM. AFTER MUCH MUCH YELLING THEY AGREED TO REPLACE THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWICTCH WHICH WAS DONE. NO RE-OCCURRANCE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE.

THIS IS A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE FROM FORD FOR MY 1999 FORD EXPEDITION. THE REPLACEMENT VEHICLE HAS MANY OF THE SAME PROBLEMS. THE STALLING WHEN ACCELERATING IN AN INTERSECTION IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. WE WE'RE NEARLY T- BONED. FORD SOMETIMES ADMITS THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS AND THEN AT TIMES WILL DENY THEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE

#710363August 23, 1999
VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
MY EXPEDITION HAS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT AND REAR WINDSHIELD WIPERS: THEY TURN ON WHENEVER THEY WANT, THEY DO NOT TURN ON ON DEMAND AND OCCASIONALLY THE WASHER FLUID PUMP BEGINS TO PUMP FLUID CONTINUOUSLY FOR 30 SECONDS OR MORE. THE PROBLEM CAN SOMETIMES BE ELIMINATED IF I STOP THE CAR AND RESTART IT - ONLY PROBLEM WITH THAT IS THAT IT'S NOT ALWAYS FEASIBLE TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND BROUGHT IT IN TWO TIMES FOR REPAIR. THEY CANNOT FIX IT, THEY TELL ME, BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS FROM FORD IN DETROIT. BASICALLY, THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE THAT I'M DRIVING A 6,200 POUND VEHICLE THAT OCCASIONALLY BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. HMMMM!

#710280August 20, 1999
SUSPENSION:REAR, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
1) UPON ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION/TRANSFER CASE SEEMS TO SLIP AND SHUDDER AS IF THE TIRES ARE NOT GRABBING THE ROAD. THIS IS AT ALL SPEEDS, WHETHER SLOW OR QUICK STARTS. ALSO, DURING HIGH SPEED ACCELERATION SUCH AS WHEN PASSING ON THE HIGHWAY, THERE IS A LOW PITCH GROWLING SOUND AND VIBRATION AS IF THE ENGINE MOUNTS ARE BROKEN. 2) THE FRONT INTERMITTENT WIPERS TURN ON BY THEMSELF OCCASIONALLY, USUALLY JUST FOR ONE SWEEP THEN TURN BACK OFF. 3) THE REAR AUTOMATIC LOAD LEVELING AIR SHOCKS ON ONE OCCASION DEFLATED TOTALLY AFTER BEING PARKED FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS. THE TRUCK CHASSIS WAS NEARLY TOUCHING THE REAR TIRES, I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE AWAY UNTIL THEY REINFLATED AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE.
