1999 FORD EXPEDITION Complaints

I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE REARVIEW MIRRORS ON MY 1999 EDDIE BAUER EXPEDITION. I NOTICED BEFORE MY WARRANTY RAN OUT THAT THEY BEGAN TO SHOW BLACK SPOTS. THE MAINTANCE DEPARTMENT AT MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP BRUSHED IT OFF AS NO BIG DEAL. AFTER MY WARRANTY RAN OUT, I AGAIN TOLD THE MAINTANCE DEPARTMENT THAT THE MIRRORS WERE WORSENING. NOW AFTER A FEW YEARS HAVE PASSED, AND SPEAKING TO OTHER OWNERS OF THAT SPECIFIC MODEL, THE MIRRORS ARE UNUSEABLE. I FEEL THAT THE MIRRORS ARE A DEFECT OF THE MANUFACTORERS AND THINK THEY SHOULD BE THE ONE TO REPLACE THEM. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED A PRICE OF $400. / MIRROR FOR REPLACEMENT ON MY PART. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER AND RESPOND TO ME.*AK

SPARE TIRE FELL OFF VEHICLE. THE CABLE HOLDING THE SPARE TIRE BROKE LETTING THE SPARE TIRE FALL FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE AND BOUNCING AROUND ON THE ROAD.*AK

BOTH EXTERNAL REAR VIEW MIRRORS WITH BUILT-IN TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS HAVE LOST TEH REFLECTIVE SURFACE. IT SEEMS THAT TEH 'SILVERING' ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE MIRROR HAS PEELED OFF. NIGHT VISIBILITY IS NEAR ZERO. DAYTIME IS NOT MUCH BETTER. THE DEFECT HAS RESULTED IN A COUPLE NEAR MISSES WITH RESPECT TO AN ACCIDENT. FORD WILL NOT COVER UNDER (EXTENDED) WARRANTY. I REPORTED IT IN 2001 .*AK

I HAVE A 1999 FORD EXPEDITION 5.4L ENGINE, WHILE DRIVUNG THE VEHICLE ONE OF THE SPARK PLUGS BLEW OUT. I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD MOTOR KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE BUT WOUN'T ADMIT IT. I THINK IT IS A BIG SAFETY PROBLEM AND FORD SURE REALIZE IT . IF YOU COULD DO ANYTHING FOR ME AND UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT PURCHASED THIS PIECE OF JUNK PLEASE EMAIL ME THANKS

1999 FORD EXPEDITION - SIGNIFICANT OIL LEAK IN THE RIGHT HEAD GASKET. THERE IS A CURRENT SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM.*AK

THE TRUCK WILL NOT START, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS POWER. AFTER WAITING A FEW HOURS IT STARTS UP WITHOUT A PROBLEM. IT MAY RUN FINE FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND THEN HAVE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS FOR DAYS ON END. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MORE THAN A MONTH NOW. CALLED THREE DEALERSHIPS AND WAS FORCED TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP (TWO HOURS AWAY). THE PROBLEM DID NOT HAPPEN WHEN AT THE DEALERSHIP, WAS NOT LOGGED ON THE COMPUTER AND WAS CHARGED $100.00 TO DO NOTHING. I HAVE HEARD FROM NUMEROUS PEOPLE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE ALARM SYSTEM (THAT DOES NOT LOG PROBLEMS ON THE COMPUTER) THAT IS UNDER WARRANTY. HAVE CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. AFTER NUMEROUS TIMES OF LACK OF STARTING, THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT WE NEEDED TO LEAVE THE TRUCK WITH THEM FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME (THREE TO FOUR DAYS).*AK

1999 FORD EXPEDITION, V8 TRITON 4.6 LITER ENGINE WITH 68,700 MILES HAS OIL LEAK. INSPECTION AT DEALERSHIP DETERMINED HEAD GASKETS NEED REPLACING WITH ESTIMATED COST OF $1200.00 TO $1500.00. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND MAINTAINCE WAS MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO SCHEDULE. A VEHICLE REQUIRING THIS TYPE INVESTMENT SHOULD NOT REQUIRE REPAIRS OF THIS TYPE AT 68,000 MILES. A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE SPARKS PLUGS BLEW OUT CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *PH

CONTINUING OIL LEAK ON A 1999 FORD EXPEDITION FROM THE HEAD GASKET. HEAD GASKET REPLACED AT 14,000 MILES UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW IT IS LEAKING AGAIN AT 37,000 MILES. FORD MUST PERFORM A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM.*AK

THE MIRROR COATING ON THE BACK OF THE SIDE MIRRORS ON MY FORD EXPEDITION IS COMING OFF & HAS BEEN SINCE JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT. IT MAKES USING THE MIRRORS QUESTIONABLE AT BEST. IT LOOKS LIKE THE MIRROR WAS SANDBLASTED FROM BEHIND. *LA
