1998 FORD EXPEDITION Complaints

DON'T KNOW WHEN THE STABILIZER BARS ACTUALLY SNAPPED, HAVE BEEN HAVING SHAKING PROBLEMS FOR MONTHS. HAD READ A NEWS ARTICLE THAT THE NHTSA WAS INVESTIGATING OTHER FORD EXPEDITION STABILIZER BAR PROBLEMS. FELT YOU SHOULD KNOW OF THIS FAILURE IN SUSPENSION FOR YOUR RECORDS AND HOPEFULLY FOR A FUTURE FORD RECALL. *AK

CLAMP ON HEATER HOSE IS NOT STRONG AND IT BROKE, CAUSING FLUIDS TO LEAK INTO ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. VEHICLE DOES NOT RUN PROPERLY. CONTACTED DEALER,AND DEALER STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, AND IT NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. PLEASE ADD VIN #. *AK

HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM FRONT END OF VEHICLE AFTER STRAIGHTENING OUT FROM A RIGHT HAND TURN. INVESTIGATED AND FOUND THE FRONT STABILIZER BAR HAD A BROKEN BOLT ON THE RIGHT END LINK. COULD POSSIBLY BE A HAZARD IF SWERVING AT HIGH SPEEDS.*AK

EARLIER IN THE MONTH LEFT SIDE OF FRONT STABILIZER BROKE WHILE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING, AND RECENTLY RIGHT SIDE OF STABILIZER BAR BROKE. CONTACTED DEALER. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION. *AK

ABS WARNING LIGHT ON INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON AND STAYED ILLUMINATED UPON STARTING UP OF VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP EXAMINED VEHICLE, AND DETERMINED ABS CONTROL MODULE HAD FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT CONSUMER'S EXPENSE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / DOCUMENTATION. *AK

THE ENGINE CONSISTENTLY CUTS OUT WHEN PLACING THE TRANSMISSION INTO REVERSE. ITS BEEN BACK TWICE, BUT NO TROUBLE FOUND. IT HAPPENS WHEN IN TRAFFIC AND HAS NEARLY CAUSED REAR END COLLISIONS. NO PARTICULAR ACTION CAUSES THIS, JUST COME TO A STOP AND PUT IT IN REVERSE.*AK

I THINK THAT FORD SHOULD PAY FOR THE COST OF REPLACING STABILIZER BAR LINKS,SINCE NO OTHER VEHICLE THAT I KNOW OF HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. I WOULD THINK THAT IF FORD CHECKED THEIR REPAIR RECORD DATABASE THEY OR YOU WOULD FIND THAT A LOT OF THESE PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BUT NEVER REPORTED TO YOU PEOPLE.*AK

WHILE DRIVING 30-35 MPH AND MAKING LEFT TURN, VEHICLE FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO FLIP OVER. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AT 20 MPH WHILE TURNING RIGHT. DEALER TOWED VEHICLE AND WAS CHECKING VEHICLE AT THIS TIME.*AK CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER REPLACED ALL THE TIRES.*SLC

WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED DOWN HILL AFTER STARTING AND LETTING THE VEHICLE WARM UP ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUTSDOWN, CAUSE UNKNOWN. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

DURING INSPECTING OF VEHICLE, NOTICED THAT RIGHT STABILIZER BAR LINK WAS BROKEN, VEHICLE TAKEN TO INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP. DEALER/MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. *AK *YH
