I was driving my 2005 Ford Expedition eddie bauer edition when I started to make a turn. Suddenly the vehicle stopped moving and an indicator light stating "engine fail safe mode" came on. During the turn, a vehicle was coming toward me and I barely had enough time to get my vehicle out of the lane before I got hit. I had to stop my vehicle, put it in park (while sitting on the roadway), shut it off, and restart it before I could move again. It ran fine for a couple of days and then it happened to me again while driving. This is a very dangerous situation that should be looked into and after checking the internet it seems there are lots of people with the same experiences. I took my vehicle to the shop and they told me it was the throttle body. After spending $409. 00 (because of course it was not covered by my warranty) to repair it hopefully the problem may be fixed. I figured spending the money was better than the option of possibly getting in a serious accident and being killed if the problem was not fixed. Somebody needs to look into this problem with the vehicle and make Ford responsible for costs since it is obviously a defect in the vehicle.

It was Saturday morning and I was taking my daughter shopping for some school clothes, driving down ell t grasso blvd going to look for the interstate 95 driving 20 mph I hear this loud pop and my daughter screams and smoke comes out of the hood, and this loud noise from the engine I had no other choice but to pull over in heavy traffic open the hood and see my spark plug out of the engine never seen this happen before I was stuck there for about 3 hours until family members came and help this is my 2nd Ford Expedition but after reading this is a common problem I will never by another Ford again, I just think and wonder what would had happen if I was in the interstate 95 doing 55mph I probably wouldn't be writing this right, now thank god my daughter and me never made it to the interstate 95.

Engine stops running at different speeds. System displays a check electronic throttle control error. This is very dangerous.

2005 Ford Expedition has experienced approximately 5 episodes where it has stalled with no notice or prior indication of a problem. The problem started around 50k miles and happened most recently as about 120k miles. On at least 2 occasions the center dash indicated engine failsafe mode. Each time, the truck could be immediately restarted and would operate normally. The only common circumstance is that the truck was coasting to a lower speed at the time of the failure. No codes are recorded, so no troubleshooting can be performed. Replaced the throttle position sensor, but failure has occurred twice since. The next step is to replace the throttle body assembly.

I pulled up to my house and after exiting the vehicle it began smoking then caught a fire under hood. Fire was put out with wter hose.

I was coming across arizona, interstae 10 in my 2006 Expedition heading home to san diego when my "engine failsafe mode" indicator came on, the engine warning light was on and shut the engine down. The engine warning light never went off until I took it to a mechanic the following morning. The mechanic stated that I need to have the throttle cleaned out and may need a new sensor for the side of the throttle replaced. I have 59k miles on my vehicle and have the maint. Completed every 4k to 6k and have owned this vehicle from the start. I had 2 miles on the vehicle when we purchased this vehicle in oct 2005. After reading about this problem with other owners I think Ford should be able to repair or replace the problem without charging the customer. This is the second time this has happened to me. Both times we had the cruise control turned on. After stopping in the middle part of arizona on the side of the road, we restarted the motor and made it back home after our vacation.

I have a 1999 Ford Expedition XLT with a 5. 4 l v8 with 130k miles on it. I started my vehicle this morning and it sounded like the engine had exploded followed by grey smoke coming from under the hood. After inspecting the vehicle I discovered that the passenger side , second from the rear spark plug was blown out of the cylinder head. After some research I found that this is an all to common problem for certain year model Fords. This a very dangerous defect and not only could someone get injured or stranded but could also be lethal if the gas from the cylinder were to ignite under the hood causing an explosion or engine fire. Something should be done to prevent this.

While driving my 2005 Ford Expedition under normal driving condition at approximately 35 miles per hour, the "check electrnc throttle contrl" indicator appeared on the dash console and the engine shut off. I put the vehicle in nutural gear and coasted to a stop on a side road. The vehicle restarted with no issue and I was able to continue on my trip. This has happened enumerable times with this vehicle. My wife, son and I all know the drill. Why hasn't Ford put a service bulletin out on this issue?.

My 2005 Ford Expedition has been experiencing intermittent problems and the only message you receive is "check electronic fuel throttle. " traveling at any speed the car loses power in the sense like it has been shifted into neutral. When this occurs you can step on the gas pedal but its like it isn't acknowledged. You shut the car off wait a few minutes and restart it and everything is fine. You may go days or it may be weeks before it happens again. It is a very scary situation when this happens. I have been so lucky not to have been involved in an accident due to this problem.

I own a 2005 Ford Expedition. This year model Expedition has a known throttle control issue that causes the vehicle's engine to default to "failsafe mode," which is a reduced power mode. This is a very significant safety issue because "failsafe mode" can be activated anywhere at any time without warning. Imagine the implications of suddenly losing most of your engine's power at interstate or highway speeds. Now, imagine the same scenario with your family on board and a boat in tow, a very common use for this type of vehicle. The internet is full of failed throttle body complaints, yet Ford has done nothing to address this potentially life threatening defect. This is much more than a nuisance issue that threatens only the owners' pocketbooks. This is a major safety hazard and Ford needs to do something about it. Their negligence is shameful.

Driving at 50mph in 2005 Ford Expedition lmtd. When lost all throttle control and had to try and get to the side of the road safely. "check throttle control" warning came on during incident. This was the first time at 108,500 miles. It seems this is happening a lot on this vehicle model. Not a very safe defect from Ford. Ford needs to think of their consumer safety and recall and correct this issue. Meanwhile my next car that was going to be a Ford will be something different.

2003 Ford Expedition spark plug blow out from cylinder. Driving my car from portland to seattle, hear a bang. Pulled over to find the ignition coil blown out of its position. Had car towed for $100 to local shop. They said "this is one of the most common problems in any Ford (they) see" what happened was the spark plug came loose (after having the dealer tighten it less than a year ago) and blew out the ignition coil. Cost me $100 in towing and $700 in shop repairs and there is no guarantee that more damage was not done to the cylinder. Dealer in portland reported a "clean inspection". Only had oil changed between.

Factory spark plug blew out of engine. I found numerous complaints of the same problem and was surprised to find there has been no recall.

Engine safe fail mode came on while driving my 2006 Ford Expedition which also lead to the vehicle shutting down in the middle of the highway. The next reading that was connected to this warning was. . . Engine off. . . Low fuel oil pressure. I checked under the hood of the vehicle to see if there was any oil leaks or if the reading was really low and all seen fine. This is a very scary incident because the vehicle just shuts down in the middle of trash which could cause an accident maybe fatal.

2005 Ford Expedition without warning stalled while making a right hand turn at an intersection. Vehicle taken to dealership and informed electronic throttle body needed to be replaced. Vehicle only has 60,000 miles. Informed by dealership reasons for defect unknow. However, we were still responsible for all repair costs. Review of internet indicates several Ford customers have reported same problem with exact year and make of vehicle.

SUV stalled fuel vapors filled inside SUV smoke then filled inside,we got out lifted hood a fire was starting on driver side near wall, my son and I stood back fire was dropping from the engine we got away from the vehicle it exploded 3 x. I received lung life long lung damage, the incident had never occurred before,the vehicle was not salvageable.

2005 Ford Expedition 78,000 miles. In the last few months the car at times has felt as though there is little to no acceleration, almost like the car is in neutral. Today my car stalled and I was able to drift to the side of the road. The "check electronic throttle" light came on. The car is at the dealer now, with a $600+ repair bill. Seems there should be a check for such systems. What would have happened had I been on a busier street or freeway.

On 02/13/10 at approximately 10:30 a. M. , I was driving my 2001 Ford Expedition with the 5. 4 liter v-8 down us highway 151 north of fond du lac, wisconsin. The throttle/accelerator stuck and the Expedition accelerated to over 60 miles per hour. I applied the brakes to slow down to avoid an accident. The engine continued to race and the back tires spun on the ice and the front tires stopped as I came to a stop upon the ice. I turned the ignition off. After a few minutes, I started the 5. 4 liter engine again. The engine raced again with rpms reaching over 5000 rpms. I quickly turned off the engine ignition again and opened the hood and checked for obstructions. No apparent obstructions. After a few moments, I started the engine again and the engine idled down to normal rpm. I had an adult passenger in the vehicle that witnessed the throttle/accelerator stick.

Driving normally on the highway, vehicle stalls at regular speed, loss of all power, coast to a stop on the shoulder of the highway.

I have a 2005 Expedition and it just cut off! I was driving about 40 miles per hour and it just cut off while I was pressing on the gas. I had to coast off the side of the road. I almost got in an accident! a warning alert said check electronic throttle and I could not move it and just stop and died. I waited about 5 minutes and tried to start my car again and it started. The engine light was on and took it to autozone and the diagnostic says that the throttle is stuck. This happened to me last year around about the same time and just went away. The year before I brought the car from the dealership and it did this to me 3 days after I bought it. I took it back to get it repaired and they fixed it no charge. Now they are trying to charge me. It cost 700 dollars everytime this part goes out. Why should I have to keep getting this repaired? there should be a recall on this vehicle (electric throttle). There are plenty of complaints about this part. Please investigate and see for yourselves. If you do research on how may time people have to go for repeat repair, I am sure it would be off the charts. It has a poor design. It could potentially get some killed, if not already. I was in the car with my children and I was scared!.

Spark plug flew out of engine. . . Was replaced before with a helicoil kit but same issue occurred today. I was driving to work and I heard it shoot from the engine.

I have a 2006 Ford Expedition with approx. 42,000 miles. The incident that occurred with this vehicle, which is dangerous, is when the vehicle's engine failsafe mode engages. I was accelerating from a stop on a two lane road when the engine failsafe mode engaged. When this occurred, I lost throttle control, almost causing another vehicle to strike the rear of my vehicle. The second incident was on Dec. 28, 2009. I was making a left turn onto a sidestreet when the engine failsafe mode occurred again causing me to lose control of the accelerator. I was almost hit broadside when this incident occurred. The only way to regain throttle control is to turn the vehicle off and restart the vehicle. By turning off the vehicle it also resets the engine failsafe mode. Upon checking the engine failsafe mode on the internet, it appears to be a common problem. Someone should make Ford fix this problem before someone gets serious injured or killed.

Three separate times the car shut off in different types of "engine failsafe mode" within the past 7weeks. Engine failsafe mode causes the vehicle to lose all power. Last time this happened on the highway at 60 mph with two small children in the vehicle. Other two times it occurred when slowing down to turn. There is great potential for this to lead to a very dangerous situation. Owner's manual points to cruise control or throttle system stuck although the cruise control was not in use. Each time vehicle restarted with no issues. Dealer reported it was an issue with the throttle body and possibly the throttle getting stuck wide open . No explanation or investigation was done to determine specific issues with the throttle body, except it just needed to be replaced. Repair at this particular dealer runs $800. No diagnostics were done on the throttle position sensor. Although completely unrelated, the dealer offered half off the $600 60k tune-up if I replaced the throttle body. Research indicates this has happened to a lot of 05/06 Expedition vehicles with approx. 50-65k miles, similar to my vehicle. I have yet to repair the vehicle, part is still on it.

This complaint is in reference to our 2006 Ford Expedition. This failure at this time seems to be occurring during normal vehicle operation, at random intervals. The failure is being reported by the obd to be "throttle body stuck wide open" which results in the vehicle entering failsafe mode, which appears to restrict the rpm's of the engine. Upon entering failsafe mode the vehicle tends to stall and subsequently will not start for a short period of time following the failure. This failure occurs weekly at various times of the day. At this time the concern is that if there is any failure on the part of the "failsafe" mode, the vehicle will be unresponsive to the operators throttle control and if the throttle body is in fact stuck wide open the vehicle will proceed to increase speed without regard to the operators controls, rendering the vehicle out of control. After speaking with the service department at our local Ford dealership the recommended course of action is to replace the throttle body as this is a "common occurrence". Searches of this issue online result in many 2006 Expedition owners reporting this issue for vehicles with mileages ranging from 50,000-55,000. The Ford service department stated that there was a service bulletin on this issue but that it did not apply to our VIN. Searching the odi service bulletin database yielded no results regarding this issue.

I have a 2005 Ford Expedition limited. My complaint is the throttle body failure. When driving down the road, the engine will shut down and you loose all power to the vehicle. I have had this happen at speeds of 55+ mph as well as speeds of approx less than 10 mph, such as while in a parking lot. This problem started in the summer of 2009, and has happened every month since, sometimes several times during the month. We took the vehicle to have it tested and were told it was a tps sensor. That has been replaced ($75. 00) but the problem is still happening. I have done some research on this and it is an ongoing problem with the 2005 Expeditions. I personally know of 2 other people that have had the same problem and have had to have the entire throttle body replaced, one of which has had it replaced twice now. This is a huge concern since you do loose all power and have to try to coast to the side of the road, while trying to avoid being hit by other vehicles on the road. My concern is that when this happens, the result will be a accident while trying to get the vehicle to the side of the road. The repair cost for just the parts is $600. 00, but this does not include the labor. Ford needs to recall this part before someone does die or is seriously injured, as it is a huge safety concern. Ford and their dealers are aware of the problem, yet the only resolution is to have the consumer pay for the repairs. I am afraid to drive my vehicle now because of this problem. I do not have the old tps sensor, but the vehicle is still doing this and do still have the throttle body that is bad on the vehicle for inspection. When this happens, the information center in the dash tells you to "check electronic throttle cable".

2005 Ford Expedition will die while driving and a wrench light appears on the dash. This has happened more than 5 times in the last month. The dealer has stated that there are thousands of these occurrences with the throttle body needing to be replaced at an $800 owners expense. The Expedition is not the only model having this problem.
