2006 FORD EXPEDITION Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD EXPEDITION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE FAIL SAFETY ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

VEHICLE SIMPLY SHUTS OFF AT ANY TIME AND SHOWS 'ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE'. THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 15 TIMES SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE (USED) IN MARCH 2012 (MOST RECENTLY ON 10/13). I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT. WE REPLACED THE TPS AT A COST OF AROUND $300 AS A POSSIBLE FIX AND THIS WORKED FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS - NOW THE PROBLEM IS BACK AND MY RESEARCH INDICATES WE NEED TO HAVE THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED. THIS WILL COST US AROUND $500 - FOR A TOTAL REPAIR COST OF AROUND $800 - WHICH WE CANNOT AFFORD! FORD HAS LITERALLY $HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS AND MUST RECALL DUE TO THIS ISSUE - THERE IS NO EXCUSE TO ALLOW THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM TO CONTINUE. FORD MOTOR CO. OWES ME $800 DUE TO THEIR POOR ENGINEERING AND UNWILLINGNESS TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE - THEY ARE GREEDY CROOKS. *TR

I BELIEVE THAT FORD EXPEDITIONS FROM YEARS 2003 - 2006 HAVE A SERIOUS DEFECT. I AM EXPERIENCING RADIATOR SUPPORT MOUNT ROT. MY MECHANIC SAYS THIS SHOULD NOT BE OCCURRING ON A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND HAVE READ ON THE FORD EXPEDITION FORUM THAT MANY EXPEDITION DRIVERS ARE NOW FINDING THIS TO BE THE CASE WITH THEIR VEHICLES AS WELL. I SERIOUSLY BELIEVE A RECALL SHOULD BE IN PLACE TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. THE A/C CONDENSER IS NOW FALLING THROUGH AND THE BODY MOUNTS ARE BEING COMPROMISED. *TR
