general problems of the 2006 Ford Expedition

The vehicle exploded in our driveway. It had not been driven or turned on in almost 2 weeks. It was locked. This caught one other car on fire and to exploded and another to get body melt down on one side.

My 2006 Ford Expedition shut off without any warnings in the midst of me driving the truck everything shuts down it's hard for me to steer my vehicle and the brakes locks up this was so scary driving the expressway and trying to maneuver a stalled vehicle.

The transmissions overdrive (84,000 ) stop working efficiently without any signal of problem. When in motion reaching 35 miles/hour the transmission stops.

I have a 2006 Ford Expedition eddie bauer 4x2 and my problem started after I purchased the vehicle in 2010. In 2011 I was in tampa, FL after gassing up I went to put the vehicle in gear and the gear shift lever broke off the vehicle had to be towed to sarasota Ford in sarasota, FL where I live. That's the first time now the second time I was leaving for work at 4:30 am in November or December of 2014 I was in my driveway and went to put the vehicle in gear when the gear shift lever broke off. The third event happened on Friday July 8, 2016 at 4: 28 am in my driveway I was leaving for work as I went to put the vehicle in gear the gear shift lever broke off. I have had to miss two days of work by using pto/paid time off which is my vacation time due to the gear shift lever continually breaking off. Sarasota Ford told me that the shift lever has been discontinued so they had to locate a used part for the last repair. I have filed two complaints with Ford motor company to which they will not disclose any findings or other related complaints only that there are no recalls. I have had sarasota Ford charge me for a new part then take some money off after I found out it was a used part to which they never notified or asked me if it was ok to put used parts on my vehicle. The sales manager bill godfrey lied to me when I asked for copies of my prior invoices in reference to this ongoing issue. He stated that the records were not on site when in fact they were as I believe one of the file clerks actually told us these records where on site in a office and she supplied us with the documents.

Have had an a/c problems of the compressor going out 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2016. A/c makes a noise in the back end on passenger side. Then it blows warm air. Only twice did it leak condensation on the floor boards. Have only had 2 of the compressor repairs under warranty and the rest have been out of pocket at $800-$1200. I have called Ford customer relations; no help. No recalls and no TSB's. The vehicle has been repaired by a Ford dealer service dept. For all a/c repairs. What is the problems?.

At approximately 45 miles an hour there is a grinding noise that sounds like the transmission. If I speed up it goes away. After drive for awhile the overdive light starts to blink. If I turn off the engine the light stops blinking. The car performs much better with the overdive off. Had the transmission rebuilt and it didn't solve the problem. The transmission shop says the problem is not in the transmissuon itself. Ford dealer recommended changing the trottle senson, $100 later that didn't work. Mechanics in town can't figure it out. It sounds like 2 gears trying to engage, thus the grinding noise. When I drive with the overdrive off it happens at a higher speed. Always happens when drivi g up a long incline. Going crazy with this problem.

My 2006 Ford Expedition was parked in my driveway at 7:00 am when I heard a crash. I looked out the window to see the back lift gate glass had exploded, all else in my neighborhood was quiet at that hour. As far as I can tell no impact from an external source, it was backed in close to a boat. I had driven the vehicle two days prior and had noticed no problem with the rear window. When I cleaned up the mess I found a good amount of the small glass pieces were inside the vehicle, the remainder were on the ground behind the vehicle within ten feet or so. The largest pieces of glass were smaller than my palm.

As I was driving my Expedition, the truck suddenly shut completely off and I had to power steering and then in the message center it showed "engine failsafe mode". I had to put my flashers on and coast to a stop in the lane I was in and come to a complete stop before I could restart my truck. I was unable to switch lanes or move to a safer location because I had no power steering. I had the same thing happen in March of 2009 when I was going 60 on the interstate in the middle lane and lost all power and had to coast to a stop in that lane with my flashers on hoping everyone around me would see I was having car trouble. I had 3 of my kids in the truck with me. In 2009 I took it into the Ford dealership and they said it was the throttle body and replaced it which cost me $536. 00. In 2009 it happened 5 times before it was fixed. I took the truck in today and they said again its the throttle body and because it's been 5 years the other one is no longer under warranty. So now I'm getting a new throttle body put in. I emailed Ford corporate and was basically told that there is no current recall nor plans for one so there's nothing they can do for me!.

Rust in the channels of the roof has penetrated completely through the sheet metal. Vehicle has been well maintained and is otherwise in perfect condition.

I believe that Ford Expeditions from years 2003 - 2006 have a serious defect. I am experiencing radiator support mount rot. My mechanic says this should not be occuring on a vehicle that is only 6 years old. I have done some research and have read on the Ford Expedition forum that many Expedition drivers are now finding this to be the case with their vehicles as well. I seriously believe a recall should be in place to address this problem. The a/c condenser is now falling through and the body mounts are being compromised.

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle did restart however, the failure recurred on several occasions. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 99,000. The VIN was unavailable. Sg.

Our 2006 Ford Expedition only had 35,490 miles, and would start up with a rattle. The air was ok, but it stopped working over the weekend and the start up rattle in the morning went away. We took it to Ford, as we had 19 days left on the manufacture warranty, and it needed a new compressor assembly and manifold and tube assembly, suction and discharge. Now our air is just like new, no start up rattle. I searched the internet and seems many people with this rattle, have been told it's just something that the Ford Expedition does. We noticed die in the discharge that came from the compressor when it failed, like someone had looked at this before and just patched it. We bought it from carmax Jan 2009. I think a recall needs to take place for all 2006 Ford Expedition owners can get their ac compressor and manifold and tube replaced.
