2006 FORD EXPEDITION Complaints

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG HAS TOO MUCH PLAY IN IT. THE AIRBAG HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE, BUT THE AIR BAG HAS NEVER DEPLOYED AND THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

1. FREQUENT HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE ON COLD START-UP. 2. LOUD CLUNKING NOISE AND FEEL VEHICLE SHUDDER IN REVERSE UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION. *JB

THE VEHICLE (2006 FORD EXPEDITION - EDDIE BAUER) HAS HAD FOR THE LAST 8 MONTHS OF PURCHASING IT, GRINDING NOISE TO THE START WHEN IT DOES START AND THIS HAPPENS ABOUT 4-5 TIMES A WEEK, DRIVER SIDE WINDOW RATTLES AND SCREECHES WHEN ROLLED UP AND DOWN, THE BACK SEATS RATTLE, THE BACK GLASS LEAKS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE SHOP A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES AND WAS WORKED ON THE SECOND TIME AND AFTER THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM ANY MORE BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. THEY DON'T, WON'T OR WANT TO WORK ON IT ANYMORE. WE WANT A REPLACEMENT OR RE-PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. *JB

PROBLEM: FORD DVD ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM AND THE FORD DEALER INSTALLED SATELLITE RADIO DO NOT WORK WITH THE DUAL PLAY (BACK SEAT SHOULD BE ABLE TO WATCH A MOVIE WHILE FRONT SEAT GETS TO LISTEN TO SATELLITE RADIO). WE FOUND OUT THROUGH OUR 2 WEEKS OF (THE PHONE RUN AROUND) INVESTIGATION THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ON GOING FOR 2 YEARS. WE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT EVERYTHING FORD HAS WITH DUAL PLAY THE DVD/CD FACTORY ENTERTAINMENT DOESN'T WORK WITH SATELLITE RADIO, NAVIGATION SYSTEM, IPOD INTERFACE ECT. FORD HAS TOLD US THAT IT IS OUR PROBLEM BECAUSE IN THEIR OWNERS MANUAL IT DOESN'T SAY THEY WORK TOGETHER??? WHY THEN IS IT AN OPTION??? FORD DOESN'T WANT TO HELP US, THEY DON'T WANT TO PURCHASE BACK THE DVD PLAYER. WHY IS IT BIG COMPANIES CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF US BLUE COLLAR HARD WORKING FOLKS? WHAT DOES AN AVERAGE PERSON DO, I PURCHASED A $50,000 VEHICLE THAT IS AN INVESTMENT AND FORD IGNORES US. DO YOU KNOW WHERE I CAN GET HELPED? THANK YOU VERY MUCH TRENA ANDERSON GILLETTE, WYOMING. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING ON ICE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKES LOCK UP. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THE MANUFACTURER DETERMINED THIS IS HOW THE ADVANCE TRACK BRAKING SYSTEM IS MANUFACTURED.

ABS, ROLL STABILITY CONTROL AND GENERAL BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHTS CAME ON AT TIME OF DELIVERY OF NEW CAR. DEALER "FIXED" PROBLEM. SAME SYMPTOMS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES AFTER TAKING DELIVERY OF CAR. DEALER TECHS. CANNOT PROVIDE INFORMATION IF IT IS FAULTY SENSOR OR IF THERE IS, IN FACT A FAULT IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. BRAKES SEEM TO WORK, BUT AM UNWILLING TO TEST ABS/RSC FEATURES WITH KNOWN PROBLEM WITH SYSTEM. *NM
