My husband has a 2008 Ford Expedition. The half hook is poorly designed therefore the carpet floor mat does not stay secure and the mat moves around and shifts alot when you are driving. My son was driving the Expedition on Sunday Aug. 8,2010 when the floor mat moved, got bunched up under his feet and the brake pedal, which caused him to not be able to stop and he ran into a brick building. The more people I talk to the more I find out it happens to others but it's not reported because there's no accident. I reported this problem and the accident to Ford and I was advised that this was a common occurrence and they gave me a case # to give my insurance company.

The flared portion of the terminator fob on the retaining/retracting cable for the spare tire fractured and separated on my 1999 Ford Expedition eddie bauer (I am the original owner). As a result, the spare tire and the metal crosspiece retainer dropped onto the street pavement, and in front of oncoming vehicles, which swerved and avoided colliding with the loose spare tire. I am just glad, and fortunate, that the spare tire did not bounce into the air, or end up crashing through the windshield of an oncoming vehicle. There are numerous reports of similar, if not identical incidents of this spare tire cable breakage posted on the internet. According to the owners manual, the crank mechanism is driven using the jack handle, and it is supposed to "ratchet" when the spare tire becomes snug against the vehicle undercarriage, preventing over tension on the crank mechanism and cable. Upon inspection, there were no signs of rust, or corrosion, or attempted theft or tampering. A small collar portion of the terminator fob remained on the cable, while flared portion broke and slipped off of the end of the cable. There are not any additional safety devices on the vehicle that retain the spare tire in the event the cable fails. During the 2001 firestone tire recall, the dealer replaced all five tires, which included the spare tire. Otherwise, the crank mechanism has not been used. . Read more...

There is no apparent damage in this area and 3 of the tracks have the same problem at varying stages of progression. I was informed by Ford that this was not covered under my warranty and there was nothing they could (would) do for me. I called the Ford customer service hot line and was told the same.

I purchased a black 2008 Ford Expedition 14 months ago from courtesy Ford in altoona PA for 40,000 cash. I recently relocated to clermont FL. And noticed what seemed like sandy grit under my black paint. I thought it was a xzilon paint protection issue and on oct. 10 paul kiste accessory mngr. For jarrett Ford davenport gave me a signed letter with his name and title at the bottom that stated "upon inspection of mr. Conte's vehicle it is my opinion that the paint problem is a factory defect and not due to the xzilon paint protection application" it went on to say I am referring mr. Conte to our plant city store(45miles away)to have our paint and body specialist recommend the proper route to take regarding the fixing of this issue. Upon arrival my vehicle was inspected by carl demuth body shop mngr,steve flack,and a painter named mike. They acknowledged the problem,told me the sand looking substance was air bubbles under all the paint and pointed out even more defects that I was not aware of such as,"dimples",tiny crater like holes,blemishes exposed by the sunlight,and a few other bodyman terms that I am not familiar with. When I asked what would cause that,carl said "when the vehicles leave the factory the mill spec on the paint should be 3 to 3. 5 miles. Carl went into the office and returned with a hand held machine that measured the mills of paint on a vehicle. He started at the drivers side front quarter panel and worked his way around the vehicle stopping at the passenger side front quarter panel. The first reading was 11 mills,then 12. 5 mills,than 12 mills,then 13 mills and finally 14. 5 miles. He said that it was clear to him that at the factory they painted my vehicle saw flaws then repainted and so on and so on. He estimated I had 4 to 5 coats of paint on my vehicle and that if not fixed that my problems will only get worse. He said that he was surprised that it hasn't started cracking and staring yet. He told me a Ford rep. Would look at it,she did and found no problem.
