ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE TWO INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH MY 2001 FORD EXPEDITION EDDIE BAUER. 1. ON 4 OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE HAS SURGED FORWARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AT 5 MPH, 50 MPH, AND 15 MPH. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON. AT THE SLOWER SPEEDS I WAS EITHER SLOWING DOWN OR COASTING AND THE RMP RAPIDLY INCREASED FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS AND THEN SLOWED DOWN.(FROM 1100 RPMS UP TO 2200 RPMS) AT THE HIGHER SPEED, IT FELT LIKE SOMEONE RAN INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. IT TOOK OFF FOR A SIMILAR TIME AND THEN RETURNED TO THE PRIOR RPMS. I TOOK IT TO A BLUE OVAL CERTIFIED DEALER AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH VEHICLE. 2. EITHER WHILE STOPPING OR ACCELERATING, THE RADIO VOLUME WILL TURN ITSELF WAY UP FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS. IT SCARES THE HELL OUT OF YOU. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE A MONTH. THE FIRST ISSUE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS I NARROWLY MISSED REAR-ENDING A VEHICLE ONE TIME AND A MAILBOX ANOTHER. THE SECOND ISSUE IS MORE OF A NUISANCE THAN A SAFETY ISSUE. BOTH APPEAR TO BE ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER ISSUES.*JB
