The contact owns a 2005 Ford Expedition. While driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The engine warning light illuminated on the instrument panel and a warning notification appeared, indicating there was a charging system failure. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnostic testing and the technician stated the computer had to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
While driving on two different occasions a message has appeared on my instrument panel saying, "check electronic throttle control. " when this happens I immediately lose my acceleration. Both times I was on a hill and thank goodness I did not lose braking ability as described by others. When you are on a hill in a vehicle of this size it is nearly impossible to maneuver to a safe location. The first time this occurred was November 27, 2009 and again yesterday, January 3, 2010. I am almost 6 months pregnant and transport 4 young children to and from school. After researching this problem online, I have discovered that this is a very common problem on the 2005 Ford Expedition. I am very afraid that someone is going to be seriously injured or killed by this failure. I have read many reports on here dating back more than a year and I am curious as to what it takes to have this recalled. Heaven forbid someone loses their life.
