WHILE TRAVELING AT 25MPH LUGS: NUTS AND BOLTS BEGAN LOOSENING. THIS WAS NOTICED AS THE WHEEL BEGAN TO WOBBLE AND SHAKE VERY HARD. THE CONSUMER PULLED OVER ONLY TO NOTICE THAT THE LUGS WERE COMING OFF. THE DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

WHILE TURNING VEHICLE ON THERE WAS STALLING. CONSUMER CUT THE VEHICLE OFF TO RESTART, AND ENGINE REVVED. VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN STRAIGHT TO THE SHOP AFTER THE FIRST EPISODE, AND IT STALLED ALL THE WAY THERE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING THE AIR BAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON. DEALER HAS TREID TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES. *AK

APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED GOING ON WITHOUT ME TURNING THE WIPERS ON. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT I HAD HIT THE BUTTON BUT THEN IT STARTED TO HAPPEN MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY SO I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAD MADE AN APPOINTMENT BUT AS SOON AS I TOLD THE GENTLEMAN WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS HE TOLD NOT TO EVEN LEAVE THE TRUCK THAT DAY -HE KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND WAS GOING TO ORDER THE PART FOR ME. I ASKED APPROXIMATELY HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE TO GET IT IN AND HE REPLIED WITH A SHRUG OF HIS SHOULDERS THAT THE PART THAT I NEEDED WAS BACK-ORDERED. THAT WAS ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO AND I HAD HEARD NOTHING ABOUT IT UNTIL I SAW A REPORT ON CHANNEL 7 NEWS ABOUT ALL OF THE PROBLEMS.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON MY 99 EXPEDITION COME ON AT WILL. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO PIN POINT EXACTLY WHEN IT HAPPENS, BECAUSE IT JUST HAPPENS OUT OF THE BLUE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED AND TAKEN TO THE DEALER FROM WHICH I PURCHASED THE CAR. I WAS TOLD A PART WAS ORDERED ON 9/7/99 BUT TO DATE I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THE PART HAS BEEN DELIVERED. I SAW A NEWS REPORT ON ABC AND AM REPORTING THE PROBLEM AS INSTRUCTED.

WIPERS WOULD JUST TURN ON WITHOUT ANY CONTACT WITH MULITI-FUNCTION SWITCH. NO COMMON TIME, DRIVING PATTERN OR PERSON FOUND..ALL AT THE WIM OF THE VEHICLE. DEALER WAS VERY RELUCTANT TO REPAIR PROBLEM. DIDN'T BELEIVE MY WIFE THE FIRST TIME AND NEVER FIXED IT. THEN AFTER SECOND APPT THEY CANCELLED BECAUSE THEY (FORD) DIDN'T HAVE A "FIX" TO THE PROBLEM. AFTER MUCH MUCH YELLING THEY AGREED TO REPLACE THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWICTCH WHICH WAS DONE. NO RE-OCCURRANCE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE.

THE WELDS THAT CONNECT THE HOOD TO THER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE HAVE CRACKED. THE DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. *AK

THIS IS A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE FROM FORD FOR MY 1999 FORD EXPEDITION. THE REPLACEMENT VEHICLE HAS MANY OF THE SAME PROBLEMS. THE STALLING WHEN ACCELERATING IN AN INTERSECTION IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. WE WE'RE NEARLY T- BONED. FORD SOMETIMES ADMITS THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS AND THEN AT TIMES WILL DENY THEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE

WINDSHIELD WIPERS CONTINUALLY SELF ACTIVATE, MODULE REPLACEMENT IS NOT AVAILABLE TO FORD AT TIME OF FAILURE. CONSTANT DRY WIPING HAS SCRATCHED WINDSHIELD. MJS
