UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AS I WAS DRIVING MY 2000 FORD EXPEDITION DOWN MY STEEP DRIVEWAY, I FELT A HARD BUMP AND FELT LIKE I HIT SOMETHING. I LOOKED OUT MY REARVIEW MIRROR AND SAW MY TIRE ROLLING DOWN THE STREET! THE TIRE WAS OUR FULL-SIZE SPARE THAT HAD BEEN SECURED UNDER THE TRUCK. THE HAPPENED LAST YEAR, 2007 AROUND SPRING TIME. LUCKILY, I WAS JUST COMING OUT MY OWN DRIVEWAY AND NOT DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WITH MY CHILDREN. I WOULD HAVE FILED THIS SOONER BUT JUST FOUND THIS WEBSITE TODAY. WE HAVE NOT TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER TO SEE WHAT BROKE OFF BUT NOW THAT I SEE WE MAY NEED TO FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL RECALL FROM 2005..WE WERE IN SOUTH KOREA AND NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTIFICATIONS OVER THERE. ANYWAY, IF YOU'VE HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE, IT MAY BE WORTH CHECKING INTO BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE LOSES A SPARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A CROWDED FREEWAY. THANK YOU, CHRISTINE HOLLOWAY *TR

EQUIPMENT, TIRES
WITH NO WARNING SPARE TIRE CABLE SNAPPED WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD CAUSING SPARE TIRE TO FALL OUT AND STRIKE REAR WHEEL OF VEHICLE, THEN FLEW OFF SIDE OF ROAD. DISCUSSION WITH FORD INDICATED THIS IS UNHEARD OF AND THEY WANTED $300+ TO REPAIR. DISCUSSIONS WITH MULTIPLE OTHER SHOPS (NOT FORD) INDICATE THIS DOES HAPPEN WITH THIS TYPE OF SPARE MOUNT. REPAIRS COMPLETED FOR UNDER $150. I AM CONCERNED THAT SPARE CAN COME OUT AND ONCE LOOSE HIT OTHER VEHICLES OR PROPERTY/PERSONS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, SUSPENSION
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 FORD EXPEDITION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SPORADICALLY STALL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE COIL PACK LOCATED NEAR THE AIR COMPRESSOR, COULD DEVELOP MOISTURE, WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE COIL SPRINGS TO FAIL AND THE VEHICLE TO STALL. SECONDLY, THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT IN RAINY CONDITIONS, CONDENSATION UNDER THE HOOD COULD CAUSE THE COIL SPRINGS TO FAIL SPONTANEOUSLY. AS A RESULT, THE RISK OF A CRASH IS INCREASED. THREE COIL SPRINGS NEED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $500. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 120,000.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 FORD EXPEDITION. A WEEK AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TUNED UP, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD POP WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH. SHE DROVE HOME AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE SPARK PLUG BURST OUT OF THE SECOND CYLINDER IN THE ENGINE. APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR LATER, IN JUNE OF 2008, THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND HEARD A LOUD POP AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. HE PULLED OVER AND NOTICED THAT THE SPARK PLUG WAS LOOSE AND DETACHED FROM THE FIFTH CYLINDER. THE DEALER STATED THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE ENTIRE ENGINE HEAD WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED TO DECREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF THE ISSUE RECURRING. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 114,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN I TURNED MY TRUCKS ENGINE OFF LAST NIGHT AND REMOVED THE KEY, THE AC BLOWER CONTINUED RUNNING. OF COURSE IT DRAINED MY BATTERY. I REPLACED THE BATTERY. I RESEARCHED THE SITUATION ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT HUNDREDS OF OTHER FORD EXPEDITION OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. DUE TO A MAL-FITTING WINDSHIELD, WATER DRAINS INTO THE FUSE BOX. IT SHORTS OUT THE FUSE BOX AND GEM MODULE. MY TRUCK IS NOW NOT WORKING AND ESTIMATES RANGE ABOUT $1000 TO FIX. CLEARLY THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ISSUE, SINCE FORD ADMITS THAT THE WINDSHIELD IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I HAVE A 2000 4.6 FORD EXPEDITION WITH APPROX 150,000 MILES ON IT. I DROVE IT FROM LOS ANGELES TO SAN FRANCISCO. WHEN I ARRIVED IN SAN FRANCISCO I WAS GREETED BY A LOUD POP AND AN ACCOMPANYING RATTLE AND SPUTTER. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SPARK PLUG HAD BLOWN OUT AND BROKE OFF THE IGNITION COIL. THE SPARK PLUG STRIPPED THE THREADING OF THE ALUMINUM HEADS. I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP IN SAN FRANCISCO AND THEY BLAMED FAULTY INSTALLATION OF THE SPARK PLUG. IN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SIMILAR PROBLEM NOT SPECIFIC TO CHANGED SPARK PLUGS. I HAVE ALSO LEARNED THAT SOME CLASS ACTIONS SUITS HAVE BEEN FILED AGAINST FORD IN REGARDS TO THIS PROBLEM BUT HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL. I AM OUT A COUPLE OF THOUSAND DOLLARS AND AN EXTENDED STAY IN SAN FRANCISCO DUE TO THIS PROBLEM THAT I AM LEARNING WHAT IS HAPPENING FAR TO COMMON REGARDLESS OF THE AGE OR THE MAKE OF A FORD PRODUCT. I AM THANKFUL THIS DID NOT OCCUR IN A DESOLATE OR DANGEROUS AREA BUT I AM EXTREMELY UPSET IN WHAT SEEM APPARENT TO ME AND MANY OTHERS AS A FACTORY DEFAULT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2000 FORD EXPEDITION XLT WITH 5.4 TRITON ENGINE. I'VE HAD 2 SPARKPLUGS POP OUT OF THE ENGINE ON TWO SEPARATE DAYS. ONE IN DEC. 07 AND THE OTHER IN AUG. 08. SINCE IT IS INEVITABLE THAT THE HEADS BE REPAIRED I USED JB WELD TO EPOXY THE SPARKPLUGS IN WITH SUCCESS. IN 100,000 MILES I'LL HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THE HEADS REPAIRED, BUT I MAY NOT HAVE THE CAR AT THAT TIME. *TR

STRUCTURE
I OWN A FORD EXPEDITION 2000. THE PAINT OF THE CAR IS LETTING GO FORM THE PRIMER THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. I CHECKED ON LINE AND FOUND SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A BODY SHOP AND THE STATED THAT FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE SINCE IT IS THE PRIMER THAT IS LETTING GO OF THE METAL AND BUBBLING THE PAINT RIGHT IF THE CAR. WHEN THE PAINT FLAKES OFF IT IS JUST THE METAL AND NO RUST AT THAT POINT THEN WITH IN DAYS IT IS RUST PLEASE HELP. *TR
