ENGINE
WHILE TAKING MY KIDS TO DAYCARE THE ENGINE FAIL SAFE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. I WAS SITTING AT A LIGHT WAITING TO GO STRAIGHT UNDER A BRIDGE AND AT THIS PARTICULAR LIGHT ONLY ONE LANE CAN GO STRAIGHT SINCE THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND I COULD NOT MOVE THIS CAUSED MAJOR BACKUP. LUCKILY THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE A FEW CARS BEHIND AND HE WAS ABLE TO PUSH ME THROUGH THE LIGHT AND INTO A PARKING LOT. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF SITTING THERE THE TRUCK STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO GET THEM TO DAYCARE AND CONTINUE ON TO WORK. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE.

ENGINE
MY VEHICLE HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I HAVE HAD DIAGNOSTIC REPORTS RUN AND THEY DO NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. THE FIRST TIME I WAS GOING 45 MPH AND WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A SONIC. I WAITED ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND THE CAR STARTED BACK UP. THE SECOND TIME WAS AT A GAS STATION AND MY CAR WOULD NOT START. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC RUN AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY BATTERY. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND MY VEHICLE DIED AGAIN THE NEXT DAY, BUT STARTED BACK UP ONE I LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES. THIS MORNING I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT AT WORK AND IT DIED. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES IT STARTED BACK UP AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT. I WENT TO LEAVE FOR LUNCH AND NOW MY VEHICLE WILL NOT START AT ALL. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE IF I WERE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND THE CAR SHUT OFF ON ME LIKE IT HAS DONE OTHER TIMES. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND THE THOUGHT OF THEM IN THIS CAR DOES NOT MAKE ME FEEL SAFE!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH WHEN MY ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THERE WAS A BEEP AND A LIGHT CAME ON THAT SAID "ENGINER FAIL SAFE MODE". THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, BUT LUCKILY I STILL HAD FULL MOVEMENT OF MY STEERING WHEEL SO I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE LANES AND GET OFF TO THE SHOULDER. I PANICKED FOR A MOMENT, BUT STARTED THE CAR AND IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. I ATTEMPTED MY DRIVE TO WORK AND MADE IT THERE. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE. ESPECIALLY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE AND MY HUSBAND IS OUT OF TOWN FOR WORK. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

ENGINE
WE WERE EXPERIENCING STALLS AND OVERALL SLUGGISHNESS AND TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO TOLD US WE NEEDED A TUNE UP. MY HUSBAND USUALLY DOES MINOR UPKEEP, THANKED THE MAN AND WAS ABOUT TO TAKE OUR TRUCK HOME WHEN THE MECHANIC INFORMED US THAT THE PLUGS WERE A BEAR TO CHANGE SINCE WE WOULD NEED A SPECIAL TOOL AND CHANCES ARE, THE PLUGS WOULD BREAK OFF. WE WERE SKEPTICAL BUT TRUSTED HIM TO DO THE JOB. IT COST SO MUCH AND TOOK SO LONG, WE BOUGHT A BEATER CAR IN THE INTERIM SO WE COULD GET TO WORK! AND IT COST OVER $1000...FOR A TUNE UP!!! IT LOOKS LIKE FORD KNOWS FULL WELL ABOUT THIS BUILT IN MONEY MAKER SINCE I SEE WE ARE IN GOOD COMPANY WITH MANY OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. SHAME ON FORD.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
IT TAKES FOREVER TO DRIBBLE GAS INTO THE TANK AT THE FILLING STATION; THE BACK PRESSURE IN THE FILLER PIPE CUTS OUT THE PUMP SO BAD IT TAKES OVER 20 MINUTES TO FILL THE LARGE TANK; THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE IN BAD WEATHER AND MORE THAN ANNOYING ON A TIGHT SCHEDULE AS IT ENCOURAGES SPEEDING TO MAKE UP FOR LOST TIME!

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2006 FORD EXPEDITION WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AT 7:00 AM WHEN I HEARD A CRASH. I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW TO SEE THE BACK LIFT GATE GLASS HAD EXPLODED, ALL ELSE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WAS QUIET AT THAT HOUR. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL NO IMPACT FROM AN EXTERNAL SOURCE, IT WAS BACKED IN CLOSE TO A BOAT. I HAD DRIVEN THE VEHICLE TWO DAYS PRIOR AND HAD NOTICED NO PROBLEM WITH THE REAR WINDOW. WHEN I CLEANED UP THE MESS I FOUND A GOOD AMOUNT OF THE SMALL GLASS PIECES WERE INSIDE THE VEHICLE, THE REMAINDER WERE ON THE GROUND BEHIND THE VEHICLE WITHIN TEN FEET OR SO. THE LARGEST PIECES OF GLASS WERE SMALLER THAN MY PALM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
FIRST OCCURRENCE EXHIBITED FLICKERING DASHBOARD LIGHTS BEFORE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WENT COMPLETELY DEAD AND THE ENGINE QUIT WHILE ACCELERATING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. PUT VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART ENGINE NORMALLY BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL SHORT INSTANCES OF DASH FLICKERING OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS WITH NO APPARENT ENGINE PROBLEMS. DURING THAT SAME PERIOD THERE HAVE BEEN APPROXIMATELY 4 INSTANCES OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEING COMPLETELY DEAD UPON THE INITIAL ATTEMPT TO START THE ENGINE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE ONLY LIGHT THAT IS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH (OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER) IS WHAT I THINK IS THE AIRBAG LIGHT; HOWEVER, NORMAL ELECTRICAL POWER HAS, THUS FAR, RE-APPEARED WITHIN 5 MINUTES AND THE ENGINE THEN STARTS AND RUNS NORMALLY. YESTERDAY THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL A CODE OF P0119 (ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE CIRCUIT INTERMITTENT) UPON RETURNING HOME. I SUBSEQUENTLY CLEARED THE CODE, BUT THE READER INDICATES ANOTHER CODE IS "PENDING". I BELIEVE THIS IS A SYMPTOM OF A LARGER PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED A "ENGINE FAILSAFE MODE" WARNING MESSAGE, BUT THIS COMPLAINT IS VERY SIMILAR TO MANY OTHERS ALREADY POSTED AND I AGREE WITH THE RELATED SAFETY CONCERNS AND NEED FOR A RECALL. *TR

STEERING, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25-30MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR ANYTHING. IT WAS TOTALLY OFF AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IF A CAR HAD BEEN COMING IT WOULD HAVE HIT US. I WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE KEY, PUT IT IN PARK AND START IT UP AND PULL OFF THE ROAD. I DECIDED TO CAREFULLY TRY TO GET HOME. ON THE WAY HOME I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND IT SHUT OFF AGAIN, NO WARNING. I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC. I WAS AGAIN ABLE TO TURN OFF THE KEY, PUT IT IN PARK, AND START IT UP. I MADE IT HOME A SHORT DISTANCE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE COULD GET KILLED ON A HIGHWAY BY A CAR RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF AND BECOMING UNSTEERABLE. *TR
