2001 FORD EXPEDITION Complaints

I HAVE A 2001 FORD EXPIDITION WITH ONLY 35000 MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION BURNED UP. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WAS COMMON WITH THE EXPIDITION AND IT WAS FLAWED IN ITS DESIGN. IT COST ME $2,200 TO OVERHALL THE TRANSMISSION, I ASKED FORD TO COVER THE REPAIR, THEY SAID NO, PLEASE HELP, THANKS, MARK.

VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD WHILE IDLING. A RECORDING BOX WAS AFFIXED TO THE VEHICLE AND DOCUMENTATION WAS AVAILABLE. DEALER EXAMINED THE VEHICLE TEN TIMES, BUT COULD NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK *LA

I PAID $48000 FOR A FORD EXPEDITION AND THE TRANSMISSION BURN UP WITH ONLY 35000 MILES ON IT. THE REPAIR SHOP SAYS ITS COMMON WITH THE EXPEDITION AND THE DESIGN IS FLAWED. I WOULD LIKE FORD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS, THEY SAY ITS NOT COVERED. *LA

I OWN A 2001 FORD EXPEDITION. IN THE YEARS SINCE I HAVE HAD IT I HAVE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE IN THAT WHEN THE SUDDEN ACCELARATION HAPPENS I HAVE BEEN AT A STAND STILL AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THEREFOR ALREADY STEPPING ON THE BRAKES. THE ENGINE WILL REV UP ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT HAS CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD A COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN OFTEN BUT WHEN IT DOES YOU CAN OF COURSE HEAR IT, FEEL THE VEHICLE REVING UP AND SEE THE NEEDLES ON THE METERS GO ALL THE WAY TO THE OTHER END. THE TIMES THAT IT DID CATCH ME OFF GUARD THE TRUCK JUMPED FORWARD IN THE SECOND IT TOOK ME TO APPLY THE BRAKES. IT HAS NOT CAUSED ANY CRASH OR INJURIES BUT I WATCHED A REPORT ON NBC CHANNEL 2 NEWS IN HOUSTON AND FELT I SHOULD PROBABLY REPORT THIS IN CASE THIS IS HAPPENING TO MORE PEOPLE WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE IT COULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM.*AK

I OWN A 2001 FORD EXPEDITION 5.4L AND ON AT LEAST TEN DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE HAS SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. LUCKILY, EVERY TIME THIS HAS OCCURED THE VEHICLE WAS AT A FULL STOP AND MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WOULD SURGE FORWARD AND THE TACHOMETER WOULD JUMP TO ABOUT 3500 TO 4000 RPM. THE SURGE ONLY LASTS FOR A FEW SECONDS, BUT IT IS ENOUGH TO LUNGE THE VEHICLE FORWARD. AFTER THE SECOND OR THIRD INCODENT WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE BOUGHT IT (DUB MILLER FORD IN ROSENBERG TX.) AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO GET IT FIXED BEFORE MY WIFE OR CHILD ARE INJURED, THIS IS MY WIFE'S PRIMARY VEHICLE AND MOST OF THE INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED TO HER.*AK

MY SUV OCCASIONALLY ACCELERATES WHEN THE RPMS ARE LOW I.E. WHEN IDLING AT A LIGHT OR COMING TO A SLOW STOP. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY YET BUT I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE ACCELERATION IS NOT ROCKET-LIKE BUT I CAN FEEL A SLIGHT JUMP AND WHEN THIS OCCURS I AM QUICK TO STEP ON THE BRAKE. IT DOES NOT OCCUR ON A REGULAR BASIS.*AK

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND WOULDN'T GO INTO REVERSE. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THE BELTS WERE BAD, AND THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE REPLACED.*AK
