general problems of the 2004 Ford Expedition

The gas gauge never works and sometimes the vehicle thinks that it doesnt have gas when it does.

When driving home from seattle wa. To walla walla wa. At a speed of 70 mph the vehicle died and I had to get off the road, it then restarted and did it to me 3 more times. When I took it to the shop the mechanic stated that it was in the fuse box. He had just did a replacement on the same type vehicle that had caught fire. It is the fuel relay in the fuse box that malfunctions and catches fire. I feel this is a safety issue.

Also like many other complaints I have seen, the 2004 Ford Expedition I have has shut off on me several times while driving and I was told to switch out the entire fuse box. I called the dealer and they said to replace it, it would be about $500 for it. It's ridiculous Ford hasn't issued a recall because this seems like a problem many people are having as well. We have almost gotten into a couple of accidents because of this issue! we can't keep having to rely on one less vehicle, but what other alternative do we have if it's going to cost us, the consumer, a lot of money to replace for something the manufacturer should be responsible for.

While driving in the city on local streets, the engine just stops with no ability to drive. I am an instant safety problem on the road. This happened 3 times in one day. Fortunately, no one was injured. After a few minutes, the car starts up again. My mechanic can't duplicate the problem. Anyone help before there is a major life-threatening accident!! thanks!.

Our 2004 Ford Expedition eddie bauer suddenly turns off while we are driving at any speed. In a year's time, it has turned off four or more times. Most of those times, we were traveling at speeds of about 60mph. All of the power shuts off, steering and brakes included. We turn the key off and it does restart. Luckily we have not been in any terrible accidents!.

The vehicle has been shutting down randomly (highway, streets, stops, etc) and it is very much a safety situation at high speed on the freeway since the steering wheel locks up and brakes do not work. I've taken it to two different places for diagnosis including the local Ford dealership and they have not been able to diagnose the problem. It is understood the vehicle is 10-11 years old but the inability for the dealership to diagnose the problem is really frustrating. From reading complaints, there are others that sound similar and appears to be associated with the vehicle's fuse relay box.

Was driving when brakes went completely out when I went to stop at a stop sign. . Cause due to rust corrosion . Brakes giving out could have caused a fatal car accident . Rust has damaged all brake lines and fuel lines . Rust is now moving up the vehicle. Brake lines and fuel lines should have a protected coating or made with a non corrosion metal. I had no idea that my brake line was rusted out till my brakes gave out. These vehicle need to be recalled and have new lines. Also have a protected coating applied under the vehicle to stop rust. Very very dangerous driving around not knowing that you have rust under your vehicle eating away at your brake lines and fuel lines.

The contact owns a 2004 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that the vehicle randomly stalled at any rate of speed. The vehicle was able to restart. Two dealers (downtown Ford, 1-866-899-7296) and (future Ford of sacramento, 916-547-2285) were unable to replicate and diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA action number: dp5005 (engine and engine cooling). There were nine tsbs for engine and engine cooling, two tsbs for the fuel system, and thirteen tsbs for the electrical system. Neither dealer provided diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.
