2007 FORD EXPEDITION Complaints

TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT ON. DEALER FOUND CRACKS IN TIRE STEMS ON AL FOUR AND REPLACED. *TR

2007 FORD EXPEDITION MILEAGE ~34,000 I HAVE TAKEN MY 2007 FORD EXPEDITION INTO THE SHOP NOW ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE FIRST AND SECOND TIME THE PROBLEM WAS LISTED AT UN-FOUND, AND THE 3RD TIME IT WAS IN THE SHOW THEY STATED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF AN ISSUE BUT THERE IS CURRENTLY NO FIRE AVAILABLE. THE ISSUE: *WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP, THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO STAY IN A HIGHER GEAR AND THEN DOWNSHIFTS HARD, AND COMES TO A STOP. *WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO HESITATE VERY BADLY, THEN TAKE OFF. THIS HAS BEEN PARTICULARLY SCARY WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO "CATCH" AND TAKE OFF. I HAVE BASICALLY STARTED TO LEAVE MYSELF 10X THE ROOM NEEDED TO PULL OUT TO AVOID AN INJURY. *AT 35 MILES PER HOUR, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED TO SPEED UP A CLUNKING NOISE IS HEARD, AND THE VEHICLE HESITATES THEN DECIDES TO MOVE. IT IS ALMOST AS IF THE ACCELERATOR IS NOT TELLING THE TRUCK TO GO! *THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN A VERY GOOD VEHICLE, BUT FORD HAS BEEN COVERING THIS ISSUE UP FOR MANY MONTHS NOW! THIS IS GOING TO END UP KILLING SOMEONE ONE DAY IF IT IS NOT FIXED! WRITTEN BY A CORPORATE SAFETY SPECIALIST. *TR

DRIVING MY WIFE NOTICED THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COME ON. ONCE SHE WAS ABLE TO GET OVER SHE NOTICED THAT AIR WAS LEAKING FROM THE TIRE VALVE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, WE NOTICED THAT ALL THE VALVES WERE CRACKED AND DEFECTIVE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED FLAMES COMING FROM THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. HE PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND IT STALLED AND LOST COMPLETE POWER. THE CONTACT THEN PROCEEDED TO REMOVE ALL THE PASSENGERS, INCLUDING TWO CHILDREN FROM THE REAR SEAT. WITHIN FIVE MINUTES, THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION CENTER. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE MAINTENANCE MANAGER, FORD STATED THAT SINCE THE FIRE ORIGINATED IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, THEY WOULD NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FIRE. THE FIRE REPORT CLEARLY STATED THAT THE FLAMES ORIGINATED FROM THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE COLLISION CENTER. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 12,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S ALARM SOUNDED, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS LOW. HE PLACED AIR IN THE TIRES, BUT THE TIRE PRESSURE DID NOT INCREASE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE TIRE VALVE STEMS (TR414) WERE ALSO DEFECTIVE. THE VALVE STEMS WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD REIMBURSE THE CONTACT FOR THE REPLACEMENT COSTS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 183,000.

TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE WITH CUPPING CAUSING VIBRATIONS TIRES LOOK SWOLLEN AND UNEVEN THREADING. WE TOOK THE CAR TO CHECK SUSPENSION SYSTEM AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS FINE. I KNOW THAT IT IS THE TIRES. WHICH MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE. I HAVE CHILDREN AND BECAUSE OF THE TIRES BEING UNSAFE I DON'T WANT TO PUT MY FAMILY IN DANGER. *TR

THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES SO FAR WITH OTHER PARTS THAT WERE REUSED BY FORD. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN DEADLINED(ME NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE IT ABOUT 60DAYS IN THE PAST YEAR. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NOW FOR A WEEK AND THEY ARE GOING TO TRY TO REPLACE THE ANTENNA ON IT. THEY (FORD)NOT THE DEALERSHIP PUTS THE BLAME ON THE MAKER OF THE UNIT., BUT WITH EACH NEW UNIT COMES OTHER PROBLEMS. NONE OF FORD TECH'S SEND BACK THE SAME RESPONSE. WHAT MY NEXT STEP?? PLEASE HELP IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP TO MAY TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP IS GREAT BUT THEY CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH. *TR

SLIDING CAR ICON WILL DISPLAY OCCASSIONALY AND RANDOMLY ON DRY PAVEMENT FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME DURING WHICH THE BRAKES DO NOT WORK. THIS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO REAR END A CAR RECENTLY. *TR
