Steering Problems of Ford Expedition - part 2

At 1000k miles the electrical panels on the car lit up like a christmas tree. When it was pulled over and placed into park, it jumped. We called the dealer to be told it was a glitch and would work itself out. The next time, we took pictures and they misdiagnosed it twice. The third time, they saw it and did a bandaid repair and now say they have to dissamble and rebuild the car's electrical system, including dropping fuel tanks and other major components to get there. They are evaluating whether or not they "buy back" the car and we take a large depreciation hit and the months it took to repair it. It was 1000 miles when it happened and they should have offered a full refund. Now we have a car of questionalbe integrity, they did not let us know how bad the problem was at the bandaid repair stage, and now want to charge us for a factor defect. This is after we bought a truck that developed the Ford "death wobble" and returned the vehicle at a loss. We had a suburban for 20 years and no issues. Ford, while facing multiple lawsuits on many cars, will not own up to factory mistakes. 3 misdiagnosis and then a bandaid fix without accountability of how extensive the problem was with the vehicle. Ford corporate did not ask for pictures and refused to give us email address contact information for the legal department. Ridiculou.

Exiting the 215 northbound, we stopped and parked at a store. While parked the indicator light came on for low tire pressure. I did not pay that much attention because the car indicator light has come on before and the car had recently had its routine maintenance check. When driving was resumed the car began to wobble. Assuming we had a flat, we attempted to drive to a more illuminated area to inspect the car and call road side services. The car at this point was beginning to decelerate almost to a stop so I inched car onto an unpaved area. I assumed the car's slowing and stopping on its own was a safety feature. As I pulled to the side of an unpaved city road, I had my foot on the brake but not in the parking gear. The car was stationary as my sister exited the car and to inspect the tires. The right rear passenger tire was fully deflated. My two daughters were about to get out of the car so had unfastened their seatbelts. This is when the car made a quick sudden jerk forward, I pressed my foot on brake to make sure the car was at a complete stop and that was when it felt like a force had pushed the car to top speed, an sudden unintended and forceful acceleration. I attempted to brake but I had no control. I was trying to avoid hitting the pole, but also had no control over the steering wheel. The car collided with a water valve/pole and chain link fence at top speed.

Vehicle was 18 months old, manufactured in July 2017, issue arose is December 2019. The power steering went out. We were told it was due to a corroded positive battery cable.

Vehicle will counter steer causing lane changes, increased steering effort, random changes in direction of travel. Drifts to both left and right with no warning or notice. This appears more noticeable at lower to mid speeds 25-60. Its as if it's compensating for a drift or irregular road surface but it occurs on flat level surfaces. This is an ongoing problem that the dealership cannot seem to remedy after three visits.

I was driving and all of a sudden steering wheel locked and my car literally shut off while I was driving. . I coasted to the side and I turned off car. . Tried to turn it back on and it kept cranking and I kept doing it like 5 times until it started back up. Sure it is a 2005, but it has been giving me problems since I got it, now it is worse. I don't believe it is wear and tear I actually replaced the whole engine 4 years after I bought my car which is ridiculous to begin with. If my car burns up while I am driving I will really make a stink. .

While in motion the truck dives to the right. This is not constant but the veh seems to have its own mind as to when it dives off the hwy. This happens from the left, center and right lanes. Speeds do not matter, low or high. 4 visits to a Ford dealer and a complaint but the matter is not being solved. This is unsafe to drive.

I have a 2006 Ford Expedition eddie bauer 4x2 and my problem started after I purchased the vehicle in 2010. In 2011 I was in tampa, FL after gassing up I went to put the vehicle in gear and the gear shift lever broke off the vehicle had to be towed to sarasota Ford in sarasota, FL where I live. That's the first time now the second time I was leaving for work at 4:30 am in November or December of 2014 I was in my driveway and went to put the vehicle in gear when the gear shift lever broke off. The third event happened on Friday July 8, 2016 at 4: 28 am in my driveway I was leaving for work as I went to put the vehicle in gear the gear shift lever broke off. I have had to miss two days of work by using pto/paid time off which is my vacation time due to the gear shift lever continually breaking off. Sarasota Ford told me that the shift lever has been discontinued so they had to locate a used part for the last repair. I have filed two complaints with Ford motor company to which they will not disclose any findings or other related complaints only that there are no recalls. I have had sarasota Ford charge me for a new part then take some money off after I found out it was a used part to which they never notified or asked me if it was ok to put used parts on my vehicle. The sales manager bill godfrey lied to me when I asked for copies of my prior invoices in reference to this ongoing issue. He stated that the records were not on site when in fact they were as I believe one of the file clerks actually told us these records where on site in a office and she supplied us with the documents.

My 2006 Ford Expedition's "engine failsafe mode" initiated and alerted me while I was operating the vehicle, which resulted in the vehicle shutting down completely and losing all power. My main issue/concern with this is that I lost steering and a significant amount of braking power. Fortunately, I was on a side road and was able to safely pull over out of harm's way. The vehicle was able to start a couple of tries later, and I was able to get the vehicle into a service shop safely, which was over an hour away. I cannot help but be grateful for getting home safely, but am very concerned about these vehicles experiencing such issues as they traverse major thoroughfares, especially on a highway traveling around 70mph. This potentially posed very impactful consequences and puts myself, friends/family traveling with me, and other motorists.

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.

The contact owns a 2006 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled. On another occasion, the vehicle stalled after the vehicle engine safety mode was initiated while driving approximately 5 mph. The vehicle was restarted but the failure recurred five minutes later. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the throttle body sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.

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.

Was driving about 35 mph when engine fail safe mode came on and truck just shut off. This happened 4 times between location and home. Almost got rearended when it happened.

The contact owns a 1997 Ford Expedition. While driving at various speeds, the vehicle failed to remain in position. The contact had to steer the vehicle in excess to keep the vehicle in position.

The contact was aware of NHTSA campaign number: 03v196000 (steering), but the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was 170,000.

Tl- the contact owns a 2004 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that while driving at 70 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to maneuver. The advance trac stability enhancement system warning light illuminated. The failure recurred constantly. The vehicle was taken the dealer where it was diagnosed that the advance trac had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 178,000. Jo.

While driving over a speed bump, the contact lost control of the vehicle. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 192,000.

As I was driving my Expedition, the truck suddenly shut completely off and I had to power steering and then in the message center it showed "engine failsafe mode". I had to put my flashers on and coast to a stop in the lane I was in and come to a complete stop before I could restart my truck. I was unable to switch lanes or move to a safer location because I had no power steering. I had the same thing happen in March of 2009 when I was going 60 on the interstate in the middle lane and lost all power and had to coast to a stop in that lane with my flashers on hoping everyone around me would see I was having car trouble. I had 3 of my kids in the truck with me. In 2009 I took it into the Ford dealership and they said it was the throttle body and replaced it which cost me $536. 00. In 2009 it happened 5 times before it was fixed. I took the truck in today and they said again its the throttle body and because it's been 5 years the other one is no longer under warranty. So now I'm getting a new throttle body put in. I emailed Ford corporate and was basically told that there is no current recall nor plans for one so there's nothing they can do for me!.

I was driving around 46mph, and in the middle of driving, my truck cut off for around 5 seconds. I almost got by the truck behind me. My truck kicked back on by itself, all why I was driving. I was so terrified the truck behind almost rear ended me.

Driving on highway at about 60 mph changing lanes and a odb message appears "check electronic throttle control" and the car just shuts down. It was a life threatening moment for my family and I as a truck that was on coming from behind with speed had to slam on the brakes in order not to collide with me since I had no power to accelerate. I was only fortunate that the truck had a clear lane to change into abruptly. The electronic throttle message after further research is a wide spread know issue among Ford cars and I am livid and very angry that the NHTSA has not issued a recall on this know issue as it is public knowledge online. This needs to be addressed immediately to avoid any potential future tragedies. I hope Ford does not want blood on there hands!.

I just purchased a 2001 Ford Expedition eddie bower edition and the front end squeaks. So I accessed this site and found several complaints about the same condition. After reading these complaints, I am worried that mine will do the same thing. I'm considering parking the vehicle and never using it again. Someone needs to force Ford to recall these vehicles and have them repair the problems before someone gets hurt. To have the front end repaired on my Expedition would cost at least $1500. 00 or more. I am on disability and cannot afford these repairs. This is a manufacture defect and needs to be addressed as such. All vehicles are supposed to be designed with the safety of, not only the passengers in mind, but also other vehicles on the road. The cost of the repairs to Ford motor company would be minor compared to the loss of life and to the damages to humans and vehicle(s) in an accident. I don't want to get rid of my Expedition, I just want it safe and to be repaired properly.

Lost control, hit parked car and tree, front end damage, driver side fender, driver door, driver received laceration to forehead and two fractured ribs. Air bags did not deploy.

As I was driving away from my home (thankfully at a low speed) the power steering suddenly went out. If I had been going any faster an accident might have happened. Also, I continue to have problems with the power window in the car. When it is cold, you can get the window to go down but it is very hard to get it to go back up. Two shops told me that the motor in the window was bad so I had one of them replace it but that didn't solve the problem as I learned the next time it was cold and the window still didn't work right. I was then told that there is an electrical problem that makes the motor keep going bad but I don't know what is going on.

Twice in last week, driving at slow speed and "engine fail safe mode" light comes on. Lost power, braking, and steering. Forced to put car in neutral while car was rolling to restart. Rolled right thru stop sign. Restarted fine, luckily. In second event, almost got hit when turning left across oncoming traffic! started turn and couldn't stop turn due to loss of braking. Fortunately, first time I tried the restart in neutral and it worked, otherwise I would have been hit in second event or hit something since I couldn't steer.
