general problems of the 2003 Ford Expedition

My 2003 Ford Expedition has a rear end problem and its now roaring while I'm on the highway. I notice there was a recall on this because this is very dangerous to the consumer. I also notice there are other Ford Expedition has the same problem. Please see recall bulletin for this item#10016789. Nhtsa item number 050618. Replacement# 05126.

Transmission slipping @ 30-50 mph.

Lost control, hit parked car and tree, front end damage, driver side fender, driver door, driver received laceration to forehead and two fractured ribs. Air bags did not deploy.

I was driving on the interstate on 7/27/12 to take my daughter back to her mother, as I had my daughter during summer visitation. Half-way into my trip (525 miles one-way) it started to rain and I hydro-planed, resulting in a one-car accident. I slid from the inner lane (passing lane), across the outer lane, into the shoulder and crashed into a guard-rail. If not for the guard-rail, my vehicle would have fallen about 30-feet from the interstate to the elevation below. After the responding department arrived (highway patrol and local police departments), we evaluated that my daughter and I were ok physically. Once I started to evaluate the damage, I looked at the front tires and they are severely warped!! I'm not an automobile aficionado, but my front tires (both) are completely bald on the outer portion of the tires, while the inner threads on the tires show little wear (the tires are only 2 years old). From what I have gathered, the "cupping" the tires experienced are from a faulty/defective front end alignment. I noticed shortly into my trip, that my steering wheel had a moderate vibration. I have had a similar experience when I used to own a 1997 Ford explorer (it always need a front end alignment/adjustment). I was not ticketed for the incident and am coming to the conclusion that the faulty front end alignment may be the cause of the steering vibration, and the wheels cupping, resulting in uneven tread-wear, leading to my hydroplaning accident. . .

The contact owns a 2003 Ford Expedition. While driving less than 30 mph, the contact heard a loud pop and assumed that a tire blew out. The vehicle dropped and began to scrape the road surface. She was able to maneuver the vehicle off the road. The vehicle was towed to the service station and it was discovered that the a-arm axle ruptured. The failure and current mileages were less than 111,000. Updated 11/17/08 updated 11/18/08.

At 65-75 mph car feels like tires are going to fall off "bad vibration. ".

Vibration from tires when driving on highway.

When driving 55 mph and over there was loud noise coming from the engine compartment. This noise was accompanied by severe vibration in the steering wheel and the entire vehicle. Dealer informed the consumer that the vibration was normal.
