1 Car Will Not Accelerate problem of the 2006 Ford Expedition

Failure Date: 04/15/2015

First occurrence exhibited flickering dashboard lights before the electrical system went completely dead and the engine quit while accelerating at approximately 20 mph. Put vehicle in neutral and was able to restart engine normally before coming to a stop. Have experienced several short instances of dash flickering over the past couple of weeks with no apparent engine problems. During that same period there have been approximately 4 instances of the electrical system being completely dead upon the initial attempt to start the engine. When this happens, the only light that is illuminated on the dash (or anywhere else for that matter) is what I think is the airbag light; however, normal electrical power has, thus far, re-appeared within 5 minutes and the engine then starts and runs normally. Yesterday the "check engine" light came on and I was able to pull a code of p0119 (engine coolant temperature circuit intermittent) upon returning home. I subsequently cleared the code, but the reader indicates another code is "pending". I believe this is a symptom of a larger problem. I have not experienced a "engine failsafe mode" warning message, but this complaint is very similar to many others already posted and I agree with the related safety concerns and need for a recall.

3 Car Will Not Accelerate problem of the 2005 Ford Expedition

Failure Date: 12/08/2010

I own a 2005 Ford Expedition and have experienced losing all throttle control on the freeway. I was lucky enough to make it safely to the side of the road. I was scared . There were 5 people in the vehicle including two young children. Very dangerous! this happens without warning. After about 5 minutes, the vehicle started up again without any problems. Today I have a different problem. O/d led flashes on dash and vehicle will not accelerate properly. I had it towed to the nearest mechanic. They suspect a transmission fault. I wish I never decided on getting this SUV. I should not be scared to drive my car. Ford needs to fix this problem ASAP!!!!!.

4 Car Will Not Accelerate problem of the 2005 Ford Expedition

Failure Date: 04/05/2009

As I was driving to my office shortly after noon today, an alert appeared "check electronic throttle system. " my Expedition would not accelerate, I coasted into a parking lot and tried to accelerate, but nothing happened. I turned off the engine and restarted my vehicle - I could then accelerate my vehicle and continued to my office. This is was a very scary incident, thankfully I was the only one in my vehicle today; my grandson is sometimes with me. I am also thankful that I was in the right lane, so I was able to coast into the parking lot.
