Check Engine Light On Problems of Ford Expedition - part 2

I own a 2000 Ford Expedition. I bought it in 2002 from magarity Ford. It had 21000 miles on the vehicle. I have not had any problems with the vehicle until this point. Was driving home on 1/6/2004 on rt 55 in new jersey. The engine light came on and I came off the highway. The truck was shimmering, and I could hear a tapping noise. I stopped at pepboys and the mechanic was nice enough to look at the vehicle. However when I turned it on it would not start. I had it towed to ther dealership which was 1/2 mile away. Holman Ford in glassboro, NJ. I was told that the engine needed to be replaced. It would cost $5400 which I did not have. There was oil in the truck and I recently recieved an oil change. I had another mechanic look at it and he said there was oil in the engine, but it was not lubricating. He had a camera that looked inside and he reported that it was destroyed. Ford refused to do anything ,and deniedc any wrong doing. I am paying a $585 car note and insurance on a vehicle that does not work. The car is out of warranty and they claim that there is nothing that they can do. However different consumer websites have experienced the same problem. I met someone on wed. That owns a 2001 Expedition. His engine went last month and he can not afford to get his fixed either. It is not a coincidence that Expedition owners are having this problem. My daughter's teacher had a Ford car and experienced the same problem last year. All of this being said, I need help. I can not afford to pay this car note, insurance and rent cars to go to work. I am struggling and frustrated at Ford's lack of responsibilty and poor workmanship.

Frankly, I need your advice on a matter of great concern I bought a 1999 Ford Expedition from waldorf Ford in oct 2002. Recently I had a break down; I had three spark plugs blow-out, yesterday I was told that three cylinders are gone due from the damage of the spark plugs. The assistant team mgr said it would cost $6000. 00 to get a new engine or get a new vehicle; I couldn't believe my ears. These trucks are lemons and I believe its time that Ford take responsibility for their actions and recalls these engine. I guess they are waiting for someone to get killed. My truck lost power in the middle of rush hour and I was nearly rear ended. Other noted problems: the emergency brake cable stays on, the engine light stays on while driving and the brakes pads and shoes are worn out at a higher rate.

The engine light illuminated on the dashboard, and remained on throughout the entire drive.

Injector in cylinder #5 was held wide open which allowed raw fuel to saturate catalytic converter, which ended up running out of exhaust. Dealership has examined vehicle, and was going to replace engine block without renewing any warranty on vehicle. Consumer is requesting that Ford buy back the vehicle, consumer stated that while driving, the steering wheel began to shimmy and the check engine light illuminated on and off several times, mechanic informed consumer that vehicle could have blown up due to the bent piston rod and stated that once the injector sticks open, the engine computer does not shut the engine down but leans to other cylinders out and keeps pouring the fuel to the stuck injector straight in the catalytic converter, consumer is also angry because a rebuilt engine is being put in the vehicle instead of a new engine.
