ENGINE
DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 45 MPH WHEN ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE CAME ON. WITH NO POWER, HAD TO VEER OFF TO A TURN LANE PUT IN PARK AND RESTART CAR. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. FIRST WAS ON HIGHWAY AS WELL AROUND 40 MPH, SAME THING HAPPENED; NO POWER HAD TO VEER OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, PARK AND RESTART CAR. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND HAVE EXPEDITION SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. *TR

ENGINE
SUV ENTERED SAFE MODE ... ENGINE SHUDDERED, LOW POWER IN LOW RPM BANDS.. WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. HAD SPARK PLUGS REPLACED IN 2014 AT 88000 MILES. IN 2015, 115,000 MILES ENGINE DOES AGAIN WHILE DRIVING INTERSTATE PUTTING ME AT RISK ON ROAD OF COLLISION DUE TO POWER LOSS. DID NOT ENTER SAFE MODE SECOND TIME... JUST COULD NOT GET POWER - HAD TO PUSH HARD ON GAS TO GET IT INTO LOWER GEAR/HIGHER RPMS. TOOK TO REPAIR SHOP THINKING COILS (COP) NEEDED REPLACED. TOLD ENGINE IS NO GOOD AND NEEDS FULL REPLACEMENT. A WRECK COULD OCCUR WHEN ENGINE FAILS LIKE THIS. ENGINES SHOULD NOT BE DEAD AT 115,000 MILES. I MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO MFG SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ENGINE FREQUENTLY GOES IN TO ENGINE FAILSAFE MODE. THIS HAPPENS TYPICALLY WHEN THE CAR IS BEING LIGHTLY THROTTLED SUCH AS AROUND CORNERS OR IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THE CAR RESTARTS FINE, BUT MUST BE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF, WHICH DISABLES AIRBAGS, MAKES POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES IMPOSSIBLE TO USE. PREVIOUSLY I HAVE CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY OF THE CAR AT THE SUGGESTION OF NUMEROUS MECHANICS, AND THIS RESOLVED THE ISSUE FOR NEARLY A YEAR. NOW THE PROBLEM IS BACK AGAIN. I'M CONCERNED FOR MY WIFE'S SAFETY. THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REDESIGNED AS THE THROTTLE PLATE STICKING RETURNING INVALID DATA TO THE COMPUTER SENDING THE ENGINE INTO FAILSAFE MODE. *JS

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I LOSE POWER AND DEACCELERATE AND GO INTO FAIL SAFE MODE. THE LITTLE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON THE DASH. THEN THE ENGINE CUTS OFF COMPLETELY. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT MULTIPLE SPEEDS. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! ONCE I TURN THE KEY OFF I RESTART THE ENGINE AND IT MAY NOT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR A MONTH. I REPLACED THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR AND IT DID NOT DO THIS FOR ABOUT A YEAR, NOW IT IS STARTING AGAIN AND IT HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. IT HAS HAPPENED AT 65MPH, 40MPH, 25MPH, 55MPH, 30 MPH. THERE IS NO PATTERN. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR TURN INTO A PARKING LOT EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS, IT SCARES ME! I HAVE READ MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS OF THIS HAPPENING ONLINE TO THE 2006 AND WONDER WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED IF THERE ARE SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO FORD TWICE AND BC THE LIGHT DOES NOT STAY ON AND IT IS NOT HAPPENING WHEN I BRING IT TO THEM THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ENGINE WENT IN TO FAIL SAFE MODE AND STALLED WHILE COASTING TO PULL OFF. PUT IN NEUTRAL SHUT OFF KEY AND THEN RESTARTED. NO MORE PROBLEM..UNTIL A YEAR LATER. FAIL SAFE THEN STALL. RESTARTED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. AFTER 10 MILES FAIL SAFE AND STALL. RESTARTED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON TOOK TO DEALER. DIAGNOSED AS THROTTLE BODY $650 REPAIR. OBVIOUSLY; I AM NOT THE FIRST VICTIM! SHAME ON YOU FORD FOR NOT STEPPING UP AND TAKING CARE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS AND REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODIES. TO CONSUMERS..FAIL SAFE DOESN'T MEAN SAFE TO KEEP DRIVING, IT IS DESIGNED TO KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING JUST LONG ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHILE YOU PULL OVER. GOOD LUCK! *TR
