Engine Shut Off Without Warning Problems of Ford Expedition - part 1

My car shuts off randomly as I'm driving. I've had mechanics look at it and see nothing wrong. There are no codes coming up either.

Followed semi into dealer service parking lot. Semi turned left so moved forward to join line of cars into service bay. While coming to stop, semi on left backed up and coming right for me. At my stopping, auto engine shut off turned off engine as was trying to shift to reverse. By time engine turned back on, acknowledged reverse, engaged reverse, responded to accelerator being pushed, gear engaged, the truck was about to hit me as driver did not see me. Luckily driver noticed and slammed on brakes. By this time, vehicle was still trying to move so if truck did not stop, I would have been hit. Auto stop of engine is a dangerous feature. While may work at a traffic light, in a situation requiring quick response, too many steps to turn vehicle on and engage a change of direction. Ford has a feature to turn off manually, but should be allowed to turn off all the time. If vehicle shuts down in emergency situation as this, a person could be killed. This event was viewed by several people and all I could say was could not move as vehicle did not respond quickly enough. Emissions are not more important to people's lives and this feature needs to be removed or allowed to be overridden.

Ford vehicle shuts off sporadically with multiple warning lights while driving and stationary. The brakes also seize up to the point where they over heat and could catch fire. The most recent event happened may 15th after picking the car up from my local repair shop to try and repair what Ford dealerships has not been able to repair. It shut off on the way home. May 16th the brakes locked up. This issue has been going on for a over a year. My vehicle has been to several repair shops and was recently at auto nation Ford in union city GA for over a month awaiting a part that never showed up. I picked the vehicle up and took it to another local shop that was able to secure the part and replace it, but that still did not fix the problem. So far, I've spent upwards of $8000 in the span of a year and the issue still has not been resolve. Repairs from brake pads and rotors to the calipers and hydraulic system and even a full 4x4 transfer case asymbley so far none of the repairs has worked. It has shut off in the past while driving to work on the express way in heavy traffic areas. This vehicle is just unsafe to drive. I searched the internet and found other videos of Ford owners that are also going through this issue with the same results. I have video which is the best visual since there are multiple warnings that pop up.

My truck was purchased new and I have recently had more fuel gas waste quickly in the past year. I recently had the fuel line changed in June 2017 because a spark plug burnt out and caused it to have a leak that was dangerously close to the gas tank. I have 123k miles on it and the check engine line comes on every time after half a gas tank is done. I had the truck driving and it shuts off on its own. Sometimes it will have a strong shaking of the motor or no warning at all while driving on the road. I'm very concerned because we thought it was the camshaft which is what the error code pops up and the spark plugs and coils have been replaced. Every thing else has been maintained but I'm still have the engine and fuel problem. The gas goes so fast and this is a v8 where I usually drive a 6 mile to work now says it has been a 40 mile drive. Don't know what else to do and may take it back to trade for another vehicle brand. I had to park the truck after it shut off on me again on a side street before getting on the highway.

My vehicle has completely shut down in the middle of driving on several occasions. I have had diagnostic reports run and they do not find any problems. The first time I was going 45 mph and was able to coast into a sonic. I waited about 15 minutes and the car started back up. The second time was at a gas station and my car would not start. I had a diagnostic run and was told it was my battery. I replaced the battery and my vehicle died again the next day, but started back up one I let it sit for a few minutes. This morning I was pulling into a parking lot at work and it died. After about 10 minutes it started back up and I was able to pull into a parking spot. I went to leave for lunch and now my vehicle will not start at all. This could have been much worse if I were driving down the interstate and the car shut off on me like it has done other times. I have two children and the thought of them in this car does not make me feel safe!!.

I was driving down the freeway approximately 50 mph when my engine completely shut down. There was a beep and a light came on that said "enginer fail safe mode". The engine shut off, but luckily I still had full movement of my steering wheel so I was able to change lanes and get off to the shoulder. I panicked for a moment, but started the car and it started right back up. I attempted my drive to work and made it there. Not sure what to do about the problem, but I'm scared to drive it anymore. Especially with my children in the vehicle and my husband is out of town for work. This is a major safety issue and needs to be recalled.

I was driving about 25-30mph and making a left turn. The vehicle suddenly shut off. I had no power steering or anything. It was totally off and stopped in the middle of the road. If a car had been coming it would have hit us. I was able to turn off the key, put it in park and start it up and pull off the road. I decided to carefully try to get home. On the way home I was stopped at a red light and it shut off again, no warning. I was blocking traffic. I was again able to turn off the key, put it in park, and start it up. I made it home a short distance. This is very dangerous and someone could get killed on a highway by a car randomly shutting off and becoming unsteerable.

Since purchasing the Expedition in December 2014, I've had several incidents of "check engine throttle" warnings and the engine shut down, suddenly. This seems to also have a secondary issue of the truck hesitating/sputtering around 40-50mph. The vehicle has shut down on me in city traffic quite a few times and once on an exit ramp of the highway. This is a very dangerous situation to experience. The dealer mentioned possible spark plug issues. When the "check engine" icon finally came on, I had it read by the dealer and an independent mechanic. The code is a p2104. The dealer never got back to me on a remedy for this. The mechanic says the electronic throttle control must be replaced and could be the cause of both issues. Both have been reported to the dealer before their warranty expired. I'm finding the repair could cost about $700. An issue of the engine shutting off, regardless of speed, while driving is very dangerous. The truck must be placed in park, turned off, the re-started before continuing my drive. The scariest was upon an exit ramp of the highway at approximately 30mph.

Engine just shuts off, especially at a stand still & a/c on. Not as often if a/c is not on.

Driving down state highway when the battery gauge went to "l" and the abs light came on. The engine was still running. Pulled into apartment complex parking lot and the engine shut off. All lights and bells were still working. Aaa was called and performed a diagnostic and determined the starter was going bad. The starter is less than 2 years old as is the battery. Was told it was safe to drive home. Took vehicle to local repair shop where another diagnostic test was performed and was told it was not the starter nor the battery and another diagnostic should be performed to determine cause. Engine has not shut off while driving since but am apprehensive to drive very far from home. Will wait for 3rd diagnostic test.

I have six kids and when your driving and your car shuts off going 50-60 miles an hours and gives you a message fail safe message, that's pretty scary. I fixed the throttle body sensor once and now have issues with the same issue. I have looked into this and surprised that there are not recalls. This is one expensive fix.

Driving at 25mph the vehicle engine shut down and went into failsafe mode, power steering also disabled causing a very dangerous situation trying to steer the car from traffic to a safe area without assisted steering. This problem has occurred several times over the past 2 years and usually in colder weather. Last time it happened was on a main highway but luckily I was alone without my family and in the inside lane so I was able to pull over thankfully it didn't happen in the overtaking lane as there is no time to safely change lanes when it shuts down. Surprised there has been no fatalities due to this as it is a common problem with 2006 Ford trucks.

Was driving the 2003 Expedition on interstate 10 near pensacola, when the vehicle shut off. The car coasted to a stop, luckily I did not cause a wreck and my family and I was safe. It has happened several times, at least 10 so far. We have replaced the fuel pump, fuel pump relay switch, the fuel filter, had the injectors inspected and it still does it. I did some research into the problem and it turns out the right side front passenger window leaks down onto the interior fuse panel and is causing the electrical system to short out. In all cases once the vehicle cools down, the car starts right back up again. I have taken it to 4 garages and now I have it at the Ford dealership in pensacola. Where they are looking at it. It turns out that the p0231 code keeps re-appearing in the system (fuel pump relay circuitry) which shows the problem could be the fuse panel since the fuses are soldered to the board and not plugged in. Hopefully Ford recognizes this problem and will order a recall soon.

I was driving on the freeway at 60mph and the engine shut down and showed "check electric throttle control". I was not able to pull to the side. The truck worked fine after I restarted it. This has happened 5 times. We were lucky that nobody hit us on the freeway. Throttle body needs to be replaced. 3 different mechanics and 1 electrician said this a defect and they see it all the time with this engine.

The first incident with my Ford while driving at about 25mph the spark plug was blown out. Ihad the spark plug issue repaired. My second issue with my Ford now is that it shuts off while driving at speed. It has happen 4 times now. I have read some blogs that state it might be the bad placement of fuel pump driver module or fuel pump relay. This may cause a crash. Please research!!!!.

While driving along at 55 mph engine shut down. No power brakes, steering, etc. Indicator message on dashboard said "check electronic ignition". Repair cost $ 724. 19.

Why is there no warning light,or signal of any kind when the pcm fails? our pcm failed, which caused our catalytic converters, 02 sensors, & fuel pump to fail. Our ignition coils had to be replaced. Would have been nice if a warning light came on the dash. This has caused our Expedition engine to randomly shut off while driving countless times! I have miraculously been able to maneuver my Expedition to the side of the freeway &have it towed eight times without killing myself, my family or any one else! we have had odd electrical and performance problems since August of 2002 when we purchased it. Not one Ford mechanic (3 different dealerships) could ever diagnose or repair issues. Because there is no warning light/code when the pcm is out, the damage snowballs. There are no computer codes, or warning lights to show up on the dash board when the pcm is out, which befuddles the mechanics. We are literally $5,000 in the hole so far! Ford dealership "repaired" our Expedition by replacing the pcm ($1,300. 00). 48 hours after they replaced the pcm, and 18 miles after we drove Expedition off the Ford lot, the "service engine soon" light came up on the dashboard -for the first time ever! we drove back to the Ford dealership, and he said for $3,400 plus tax he could replace our new catalytic converters in "bank one" that were destroyed again, & the "bank two" converters which are now very weak, not up to spec. The driver's seat motor that has been fickle since Aug of 2002, stopped working when we went to pick it up, so I can't drive it, because I can't reach the gas or brake pedals. $800 will fix that, Ford says. If you google "2003 Ford Expedition eddie bauer engine shuts off randomly", thousands of people are reporting the same issues. Until someone crashes and dies, I don't think Ford cares. The consumer also stated the vehicle had electrical problems. The consumer stated the driver's seat motor stopped working while being serviced at the dealer, there were problems with the windows as well.

Engine shut down at highway speed. Loss of power steering and power brakes. Was able to coast to emergency lane then restart car. Happened two additional times. Took to shop where the throttle body was replaced. No issues since then (~ 1 year ago). Sounds like manufacturer defect. This is a safety issue.

I filed a complaint in oct (10355191) requesting info on vehicle shut down. It happened again this week while my wife was driving to work.

My 2006 Ford Expedition has shut off multiple times since the summer of 2010. It was serviced in the summer of 2010 and ran fine for a while. In 2011, it started cutting off at random times. I could be at a stop light, intersection, driving, or turning the corner. I have had the vehicle tested about 3 times over the last year and no one can seem to figure out the problem. The scariest incident happened while I was making a left turn at a busy intersection and the vehicle shut off and the power steering went out. I turned on the hazard light, put the car in park and started it very quickly. The vehicle started up with no problem. Luckily no one was behind me or coming towards me. This problem needs to be fixed. I have read multiple post about this problem and Ford has not recalled the vehicle yet. Please help!.

Driving vehicle and car shut off. A wrench symbol appeared. After 2 attempts, I was able to get the vehicle restarted. Took car to garage for service and was informed that the computer code which came back was the "cruise control circuitry" and I would need to take the vehicle to a Ford dealership for service due to the nature of the repair.

Driving on highway and SUV just shuts down, without warning. This is the 2nd time this has happened.

Our 2005 Ford Expedition eddie bauer exhibits the same symptoms as were reported today regarding "camshaft position sensor on Ford 7 ltr engines 1997-2003 - engine shuts down while driving forward , at variable speed: very slow to highway speeds. Will restart on first try after coming to complete stop. Message panel shows "check throttle linkage" or similar. First occurred around July 07 second time took truck to Ford dealer Aug 11 - they were unable to reproduce problem after testing for several hours (at least that's what the charge said). One month later it happened again, has now increased intermittent to once every 2-3 weeks. Incident dates start approx July 2007 through yesterday 12/05.

I bought a 2000 Ford Expedition ,the car is less than three years old and the engine "seized". My vehicle is over 36000 miles so is no longer covered by warranty, however, the car was regularly maintained and the engine always had oil. The engine shut off in the middle of the highway with no warning. I believe this vehicle is defective and dangerous. I contacted Ford and they were unwilling to help. I am stuck with a $6000 bill to replace the engine.

While traveling down the hill the vehicle shut down without prior warning. Please fill in addtional information. Dealer is aware of the problem. Ts.

Frequently, when I am idle for a few minutes and proceed to pull off or merge into traffic, the vehicle shuts down completely as I try to accelerate. Sometimes I can restart the vehicle immediately and other times I have to wait five minutes. I've reported this problem to the regency Ford dealership (where the vehicle was purchased) 4 times. They are unable to duplicate or fix the problem. I have also make a complaint to Ford motor company about this life endangering hazard, but no similar defects were reported from other 2001 Ford exp. I have been told to wait until the problem gets worse to duplicate and correct it. **dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut over to artemis**768009.
