2006 FORD EXPEDITION Complaints

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. ENGINE FAIL-SAFE LIGHT IS DISPLAYED. WAS BARELY ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE AREA. RESTARTED ENGINE, EVERYTHING CAME BACK UP AGAIN. *TR

MY TRUCK WENT INTO FAIL SAFE MODE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS CAUSED THE TRUCK TO STOP SUDDENLY WITH NO USE OF GAS PEDAL BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO DRIFT OVER AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART IT AND IT RAN FINE THE REST OF THE DAY. NOW I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. *TR

THANKFULLY NO CRASH HAS HAPPENED YET. HOWEVER, MY COMPLAINT DEALS WITH MY 2006 LIMITED FORD EXPEDITION. IN THE BACK WHERE THE THIRD ROW SEATS ARE LOCATED, THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY FOR THOSE PASSENGERS TO ESCAPE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE BACK WINDOW DOES NOT HAVE A SWITCH/RELEASE TO OPEN ANY WINDOWS. THE DOOR DOES NOT HAVE ANY TYPE OF DEVICE TO OPEN THE TAIL GATE. *TR

MY TRUCK WENT INTO FAIL SAFE MODE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS CAUSES THE TRUCK TO STOP SUDDENLY WITH NO POWER TO ACCELERATE BUT THE ENGINE STILL RUNS. THIS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST BE CRUSHED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER BEHIND ME. I HAD SEVERAL CHILDREN IN THE CAR TOO!! *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND SUV JUST SHUTS DOWN, WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. *TR

DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG FAILURE TO DEPLOY-WAS INVOLVED IN A SINGLE CAR ACCIDENT ON NOV. 24, 2008...HIT BLACK ICE PATCH, ENDED UP IN A DEEP DITCH AND CREEK BED. WAS TRAVELING APPROX 35 TO 40 MPH. FRONT END OF CAR EXPERIENCED HEAVY DAMAGE. DRIVER WAS WEARING SEAT BELT. PASSENGER AIRBAG DID DEPLOY, NO PASSENGER PRESENT IN VEHICLE. DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!!!! VEHICLE SUSTAINED $13,000 IN ESTIMATED REPAIRS. MILEAGE ON VEHICLE WAS 53,000. DUE TO EXTENSIVE REPAIR ESTIMATE, VEHICLE WAS DEEMED TOTALED. WE ARE SEEING SEVERAL OTHERS IN THIS WEBSITE AND OTHERS ON THE INTERNET WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED FRONT END AND REAR END CRASHES WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR AUTO AND OBVIOUSLY NO ONE AT FORD IS BOTHERING TO PHONE PEOPLE BACK, NOR INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM OR DO A RECALL. HOW MANY LIVES WILL BE TAKEN BEFORE ANYONE DOES ANYTHING?? LUCKILY I WAS NOT INJURED IN THE CRASH OTHER THAN A SORE NECK FROM THE SEATBELT LASHING. WE PAY FOR THESE "SAFETY" ITEMS ON OUR VEHICLES BUT WHAT GOOD ARE THEY WHEN THEY DO NOT WORK????????? IT'S INSANE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD EXPEDITION. ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. A WRENCH SYMBOL APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE RESTARTED. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE OR DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE SPEED WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 64,749 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

A 17" TIRE RIM ON A 2006 FORD EXPEDITION HAS FAILED FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE FIRST FAILED RIM WAS REPLACED BY FORD MOTOR CO. WITH A NEW RIM AND NOW ONLY A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER THIS SECOND RIM HAS FAILED. THE WELD HAS FAILED ON THE RIM CAUSING SEPARATION AND A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD FOR ANY VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. *TR

I AM DRIVING A 2006 FORD EXPEDITION. THE OTHER MORNING, I PUT MY CHILD IN THE CAR SEAT BEHIND THE DRIVERS SEAT. I HALF ENTERED THE CAR TO TURN ON THE ENGINE, AS IT WAS CHILLY OUT. ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS AFTER TURNING THE CAR ON, I HEARD A HUGE EXPLOSION. SOUNDED AS IF A RIFLE HAD BEEN SHOT NEXT TO MY HEAD. THE BABY WENT NUTS. I LOOKED AROUND, AND THE SIDE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD TURNED THE CAR ON THAT DAY. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT. IF IT HAD HAPPENED ON MY SIDE, IT WOULD HAVE SLAMMED INTO ME PRETTY GOOD, AS WELL AS MY CHILD. THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM MADE ME PAY TO HAVE IT DRIVEN TO THEM AND THE RENTAL CAR. THEY WOULD NOT DRIVE IT THEMSELVES FOR FEAR OF ANOTHER AIR BAG DEPLOYING WHILE THEY WERE DRIVING. THIS IS OF COURSE WHY I WOULDN'T DRIVE IT EITHER. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY ARE INSISTING I PAY FOR THE REPAIR. IT IS $2500. I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION AND AM CONCERNED IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN, MAYBE WHILE I AM DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP SAID SINCE NO ONE WAS HURT IN THIS INSTANCE IT WASN'T THERE PROBLEM. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE? SINCERELY, JENNIFER VESTAL *TR
