Ford Expedition owners have reported 3 problems related to front suspension hub (under the suspension category). The most recently reported issues are listed below. Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Ford Expedition based on all problems reported for the Expedition.
Lower retaining bolt between strut and wheel hub has failed causing head of bolt to shear off (see photos) on front passenger side suspension assembly. Bolt head was found lying in driveway and sheared bolt was found on inspection of vehicle. Vehicle may have been in motion at low speed or stationary at time of failure. Appears to be material failure of the bolt in which a cracked formed and propagated across the bolt until the it could no longer withstand shear forces. Am concerned about the 3 other retaining bolts on this vehicle at the other wheels.

Vehicle is a 2001 Ford Expedition XLT 4x4 purchased new in April 2001 and owned continuously by current owner, only serviced at hub Ford of colchester, CT and girard Ford of norwich CT. Failure of suspension/drivetrain components occurred while accelerating onto a highway onramp. Both rear lower control arms had corrosion that led to complete disconnection from rear axle. With no supporting lower control arms, the rear transaxle shifted during vehicle acceleration. Shifting of transaxle then introduced excessive force on drive shave ujoint (rear transaxle ujoint) which caused complete failure and disconnection of rear driveshaft. Vehicle's 4wd system engaged, allowing vehicle to be safely guided onto the available offramp (cloverleaf highway intersection) and into safe recovery location for towing by aaa to a local Ford dealer. Girard Ford repair estimates costs for all four corroded control arms to be approximately $1500. Shattered parts or debris also cut rear brake line leading to loss of rear braking and all brake fluid loss - causing additional indirect repair costs. Owner is recovering corroded control arms after repair for evidence to be used in any NHTSA investigation. Nhtsa is encouraged to contact the owner/complainant of vehicle for access to failed parts for investigation support.
