The contact owns a 2000 Ford Expedition. While driving approximately 10 mph during rainy weather, all electrical components turned off and then back on. The failure usually occurred in rainy and snowy weather; the doors would lock and the passenger was unable to get out of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated that the vehicle may have been struck by lightening but could not duplicate the failure. The contact also stated that weather leaked into the vehicle through the driver side window. The battery was dead and had to be jump started. A friend changed the solenoid and the vehicle started without the key in the ignition. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000 and the current mileage was approximately 98,000.

4 Starter Solenoid problem of the 1997 Ford Expedition

Failure Date: 07/06/2003

I am original owner of my 1997 Expedition, which just turned 60000. Driving at night, the dashboard lights flickered. Stopped the truck and it stalled. When trying to restart, battery did not have enough joice to turn engine. When hooking up jumper cables, the starter engaged by itself, without key in ignition, engine started, but starter remained engaged for a few minutes. Engine idled, but when headlights were turned on engine stalled. When trying to restart, nothing happened when turning key, even with jumper cables connected to a good battery. Had to have it towed. Mechanic had to replace ground wire, starter, starter soleniod, starter cable, alternator, battery, and lockout sensor. Mechanic said he has replaced many ground wires on these trucks, but typically only ground wire, starter solenoid, & battery. My truck was the worst effected. How can I find out if there is any action that can be taken against Ford for this very expensive fault ?.
