My car at times will give a hard start. Turning, but not fully turning over or gives off a sound that I can only describe as an elephant trumpeting. When it does start at times it will shut completely off just as fast. It hesitates to pick up adequate speed and will stumble or jerk, and when put in reverse it will completely stall out. I've had a new battery installed, and the spark plugs and boots have been changed, but to no avail.

While driving on us 95 north the vehicle all of the sudden stalled. This has happened twice before while driving at speeds of 60 and greater on busy interstates. The engine just stops and the car must coast to the side of the road and sit for a few minutes and then it will start again and run fine for at least a week or two. Recently this has been happening every couple of months. The first incident was in Jan of 2010 on a trip from missouri to virginia. Now that we live in virginia, near DC this is something that we find very dangerous especially with four children in the car.

2005 Expedition randomly stalls at various speeds usually around 45 - 50 miles per hour. You have to try to get to the side of the road, stop and give the car a couple of minutes and crank it again. I have taken to Ford dealership and I need a throttle position sensor. It will be $700 to fix. The person that owned the vehicle before me had already replaced this same part. My concern is I spend the $700 and still have the same problem. This is a serious safety issue, I stay in constant fear that it is going to stall at any minute. I can't believe Ford has not recalled this. This is my second Ford but will be my last.
My 2005 Ford Expedition suddenly and unexpectedly shut off in the middle of the highway. An error code of "check electronic throttle" displays on the dash and a warning signal sounds. All while the vehicle loses the ability to accelerate and power steering. After bringing the vehicle to a stop, it cranks right up as if there was never a problem. It has now done this about 5 or 6 times. We have nearly been hit twice by 18 wheelers as a result of this. This is an extremely dangerous problem. I have researched the problem online in hopes of finding out what could be causing the problem. To my horror, I found hundreds of similar complaints all linked to the 2005 Ford Expedition only. I have not seen this type of complaint for any other model year. I'm leary of even taking it to a dealership for the problem at this point because the comments around the issues have been that Ford has replaced the "throttle body" and in some cases it didn't resolve the problem. To me it sounds like a recall is needed to address this issue. It shouldn't take a severe accident or death to remedy this situation. It sounds like Ford is trying to avoid issuing a recall on this from the complaints that I have reviewed. If the 2005 Ford Expedition is the only model year affected, then there is something that was programmed or installed incorrectly on the Ford Expeditions from that model year. An investigation needs to be initiated before the fatal results that Toyota has had recently become a part of Fords future, and all because they want to be in denial of a problem which should initiate a recall to fix.

First time it occurred I was traveling to work the car stalled while driving approx. 20 mph and there was no control of the car - was able to move to side of road and restart. Fault on the console was "electronic throttle". Has happen approx 4 more times at various speeds and conditions with three different drivers. No problem ever found by dealer. Has happened at high speed on the freeway complete loss of steering and power occurs more concerning it can happen at any time without warning. I find this to be extremely dangerous and a death trap waiting to happen. The last time it occurred when by teenage daughter was driving she was scared to death refusing to drive it home. This reminded me of Toyota prius so I took it upon myself to report my incidents. Looking at the internet I now find it occurs frequently and it is not an isolated case.
