2007 FORD EXPEDITION Complaints

LEAVING MY NEIGHBORHOOD GOING 20-25 MPH. PAVEMENT WAS DRY. SLIGHT DOWNHILL INCLINE. PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. BRAKE STARTED PULSATING RAPIDLY. BRAKE WAS RESISTING ME PRESSING IT BY PUSHING MY FOOT BACK UP WITH PULSATING ACTION. TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. COULD HAVE REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME OR WENT INTO A 4 LANE HIGHWAY. PULLED OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY PROCEEDED DOWN ANOTHER DOWNHILL INCLINE ABOUT 45 MPH. PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN AGAIN THE BRAKES STARTED PULSATING AND DID NOT WORK. HAD TO STAND ON THE BRAKES PUSHING AGAINST THE BRAKE RAPID PULSATION TO GET THE TRUCK SLOWED TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT. TRACTION CONTROL SLIDING CAR ICON WAS FLASHING. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP 10/28/10. DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES OR MALFUNCTION. DEALER SAID THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM "RSC" RESETS ITSELF PERIODICALLY AND WILL MOST LIKELY DO THIS AGAIN. THIS IS A DANGEROUS TIME FOR A BAKE OR TRACKING CONTROL SYSTEM TO RESET LEAVING ONE WITHOUT BRAKES. PERSONALLY I DON'T BELIEVE THEIR EXCUSE. FORD HAS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. SEEMS OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM REFERENCE TO ODI ID # 10220899. ALSO OTHER COMPLAINTS UNDER THE TRACKING CONTROL SYSTEM ODI ID# 10332619 AND 10321582. ALSO FROM SURFING THE FORD ENTHUSIAST WEB SITE, AND OTHER WEB SITES, A LOT MORE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND ARE NOT BEING REPORTED.

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE POWER WINDOW FAILURES ON MY 2007 FORD EXPEDITION. THE FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE WINDOWS WILL NOT OPERATE DUE TO FAILED REGULATORS. THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW HAS NOW FAILED TWICE. IT WAS REPAIRED IN 2009. *TR

2007 EXPEDITION 2 WD 5.4 6SPD. AUTO PARK LOCK DEVICE WAS NOT WORKING. CAR COULD BE SHIFTED FROM PARK WITHOUT KEYS OR APPLYING THE BRAKE. CAR ROLLED DOWN A HILL ACROSS A STREET DOWN ANOTHER HILL INTO A CREEK WITH 5YR OLD CHILD AND DOG IN CAR. PURCHASED CERTIFIED PRE OWNED LESS THAN 1 MONTH AGO. *TR

2007 FORD EXPEDITION...POWER WINDOWS, SO FAR 3 0F 4 HAVE FAILED AND NEED REPLACING AT OWNER EXPENSE!! *TR

CLAMP HOLDING THE PRESSURE SENSOR BROKE IN PIECES RANGING FROM 3 TO 8 INCHES. THIS METAL ALONG WITH THE PRESSURE SENSOR RATTLED AROUND LOOSE IN THE TIRE CAUSING EXCESSIVE VIBRATION AT SPEEDS OVER 40 MPH. THIS HAPPENED ON BOTH FRONT TIRES. CAR HAD APPROX 49,000 MILES WHEN PROBLEM WAS FOUND. PIECES WERE REMOVED (WHICH I STILL HAVE) AND NEW TIRES INSTALLED WITH OUT PRESSURE SENSOR. I GET ERROR MESSAGE ON CONTROL PANEL EVERY TIME I START THE CAR. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION WITH A 5.4 TRITON ENGINE IN FEBRUARY 2008 THAT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE CAR STARTED HERE LATELY TO MISFIRE AND JUMP AND STALL. I PURCHASED SPARK PLUGS AS I DO WITH ALL MY VEHICLES. UPON REMOVAL OF THE ORIGINAL PLUGS THEY BREAK OFF IN THE MOTOR OR THE HEAD WHICH THEN COST LOTS MORE MONEY TO REPLACE. UPON SPEAKING TO AND RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET THIS PLUG DESIGN IS A FLAW WITH ALL THE ENGINES THAT FORD HAS DESIGNED. EVERY PERSON WHO HAS HAD TO REPLACE THESE PLUGS HAS ENCOUNTERED THIS AWFUL AND COSTLY FLAW WHICH FORD SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR. AS I WILL AS WELL AS MANY CONTINUE TO PAY FOR THE POOR WORKMANSHIP AND DESIGN THAT FORD SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR. IN THESE DAY AND TIMES AND WITH THE WIDE VARIETIES OF MASS COMMUNICATIONS, I WILL NEVER AND ENCOURAGE MY FRIENDS TO NEVER BUY A FORD VEHICLE AGAIN. I HAVE FOUR KIDS AND THIS IS A COST THAT WE CANNOT STAND FOR. I WILL GO TO THE HOUSTON TEXAS MEDIA WITH THIS AS WELL. AS I AM SURE IN THE HOUSTON AREA MANY MANY MANY CONSUMERS HAVE THESE SAME ISSUES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION. WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE MAIN BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,142 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 37,280.

ON 7/5/10 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE 2007 EXPEDITION EL WITH LESS THAN 17,000 MILES, ACROSS THE PAVED PARKING LOT AT HER WORK PLACE. WITH HER FOOT TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL SHE DROVE FORWARD APPROACHING A PARKING POSITION. AS THE VEHICLE APPROACHED THE PARKING POSITION SHE DID NOT MOVE HER FOOT TO INCREASE OR DECREASE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE. WHEN SHE IS ABOUT 10' TO 14' AWAY FROM THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER, THE ENGINE BEGINS TO CHANGE SOUND, REVS UP, SHE IMMEDIATELY HAS TO APPLY BRAKE PEDDLE PRESSURE TO SLOW AND THEN ENOUGH PRESSURE TO PREMATURELY STOP THE VEHICLE. IT'S REAR TIRES BEGIN TO BRAKE LOOSE, SQUEAL, AND SPIN. SHE TURNS THE KEY OFF, TO KILL THE ENGINE. THE BRAKES HELD FIRM KEEPING THE VEHICLE STATIONARY AS WAS EVIDENT IN THE FRONT TIRES IMPRINT ON THE PARKING LOT. THE REAR TIRES HAD SPUN, EATING THROUGH THE SEALED SURFACE OF THE PARKING LOT, DEPOSITING RUBBER AND PARKING LOT MATERIAL BEHIND THEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. AGAIN THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, AND FORD WOULD NOT LET THEM DO ANYTHING TO THE VEHICLE UNLESS THEY COULD FIND SOMETHING. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT ON THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST WAS COMPLAINT ODI # 10347250. THE FIRST INCIDENT HAD PROPERTY DAMAGE AND VEHICLE DAMAGE. THE SECOND INCIDENT DID NOT. - FORD HAS NO RECORD AT THE DEALERSHIP OF THIS VEHICLE BEING THERE FOR 3 WEEKS THE FIRST TIME AND 2 WEEKS THE SECOND TIME. FORD REP ALSO SAID NOT TAKE THIS VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. *TR

IT WAS 5/5/09, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING VEHICLE ON A 'CHIP AND SEALED' STREET. SHE PARKED IT ON THE SHOULDER AND WENT TO SOME YARD SALES. SHE RETURN TO THE VEHICLE AND WAS BACKING IT, TO TURN AROUND. THE ENGINE CHANGED SOUND AND BEGAN TO REV UP. [SHE WAS NOW HALF ITS LENGTH UP A CONCRETE DRIVEWAY.] WITH HER FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE SHE IMMEDIATELY SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO A FORWARD. THE ENGINE WAS REALLY LOUD AND REVVING UP WITH THE REAR TIRES SQUEALING, AND SPINNING, THE VEHICLE'S FRONT TIRES BEGIN TO SLIDE ON THE GRAVEL OF THE 'CHIP AND SEAL' AND THEN SLIDE ON THE CRUSHED ROCK OF THE NEXT DRIVE WAY. WITH HER FOOT STILL FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE AND NOW BOTH HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL, THE VEHICLE LUNGES AND SCOOTS FORWARD OUT OF CONTROL ON ITS OWN, PLOWING INTO A BRICK MAIL BOX. AS THE VEHICLE IS PLOWING OVER THE MAIL BOX, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY IDLES DOWN AND THE VEHICLE STOPS MOVING. MY WIFE HAD NEVER REMOVED HER FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDDLE UNTIL AFTER SHE SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. THE BRICK MAIL BOX WAS TOTALLY DESTROYED COSTING AND THE EXPEDITION HAD DAMAGE TO THE GRILL AND FRONT FASCIA. THE COUNTY SHERIFF WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER 3 WKS THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND DECLARED IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

VEHICLE OFTEN FAILS TO MOVE WHEN ON AN INCLINE, E.G., PULLING BOAT OUT OF WATER ON LAUNCH RAMP; BACKING VEHICLE UP STEEP DRIVEWAY. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED, ENGINE DOES NOT RESPOND AND VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. I HAVE TO TURN ENGINE OFF AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS, TURN IT ON AGAIN BEFORE IT WILL MOVE. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TWO OR THREE TIMES (UNKNOWN) AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND PROBLEM AND REPAIR. I AM NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND FORD REFUSES TO HANDLE THIS COMPLAINT. I HAVE WRITTEN TO FORD AND THEY DO NOT CARE TO RESPOND. *TR
