general problems of the 2008 Ford Expedition

Tl- the contact owns a 2008 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that when the driver parked the vehicle and removed the key out of the ignition switch, the vehicle began to roll in reversed, with the passenger in side. The contact stated that the driver door was open and while the vehicle was rolling, the driver front door crash against the driveway gate, the continue to roll. The contact stated that she attempted to open the passenger front door but it failed to open and the seat belt failed to unlock. The contact stated that the vehicle was rolling in full acceleration in reversed and was making a loud clicking noise as if it was trying to get back into gear. The vehicle crashed into trees of an ally of garage. The vehicle was able to drive back into the garate. The contact stated that the failure just occurred and was not taken to a dealer or and independent mechanic for a diagnostic testing or repaired. The contact called the manufacturer and was informed that there was no recall on the vehicle and was to take the vehicle to a Ford dealer and did not offer further assistance. The approximate failure milega was 130,000. Aw.

At the start of the engine, there is a tickling noise that does not disappear until after the first gear is automatically engaged. To me, this looks like a manufacturer's defect on the vehicle rather than an engine problem because at 41000 miles, such problems should not develop: the vehicle is relatively new.

The contact owns a 2008 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that the vehicle was shut off and parked on an incline when it rolled backward and crashed into another vehicle. The emergency brake was not engaged when the failure occurred. The rear bumper and lift gate were damaged, but there were no injuries reported. The vehicle was driven to an auto body shop and repaired. The police were also notified and an incident report was available. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 88,342.

This is a used car we were going to buy at a reputable dealer's lot. Salesman assured us it had not been in an accident. Upon inspection by our mechanic, it was determined that this vehicle had extensive front end damage, being rebuilt with salvage parts and repainted, probably in mexico. The transmission needed costly repairs. It had also had the tailgate removed, possibly replaced, and the brake pedal was welded on.

Clear coat and paint started peeling of for no reason and rust is appearing underneath the hood and the back door as well. Takes a while before shifting gears.

On 2 separate events my Ford Expedition rolled down the driveway when it was in parked with foot brake engaged. I took it to the Ford service department and they claim they could not find any issues. This weekend with transmission in park and foot brake engaged the vehicle rolled backwards again almost running over me.
