1999 FORD EXPEDITION Complaints

After I put it in park and turned the engine off the truck started to roll back and it didn't stop until it hit the curb across the street.

MY CAR HAS BEEN OVER HEATING AND HAVING PROBLEMS SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT IT. I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO KEEP FIXING IT AFTER I JUST BOUGHT IT. SOMEONE TOLD ME TO CHECK IF IT HAD A RECALL AND SURE ENOUGH IT DOES! I CHECKED ON THE DMV WEBSITE TODAY.

THE SHIFT LINKAGE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN TO THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT WORK DUE TO SEVERAL KINKS IN THE CABLE. I CANT GET THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION DUE TO THIS NOR CAN I EVEN DRIVE MY VEHICLES BECAUSE IT WONT HO INTO GEAR. I WAS ON MY WAY HOME STOPPING AT A STORE WHEN THIS OCCURRED. HAD TO LEAVE MY TRUCK IN THE PARKING LOT WITH THE KEYS ATUUCK IN OT.

I WAS SITTING AT MC DONALDS GETTING FOOD FOR MY SON, WHEN A LOUD POP COME FROM UNDER MY HOOD THEN MY TRUCK STARTED TO SMELL FUNNY. SOME CARS WERE IN FRONT OF ME SO THEY LET ME OUT. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE AND CALLED A FEW PEOPLE THAT COULD TELL ME WHAT WAS GOIN ON. A MAN COME AND LOOKED AT IT THAT WORKED ON CARS A CROSSED THE STREET TOLD ME THAT IT BLOWED A SPARK PLUG I NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IT HAD COME COMPLETELY OUT. THERE WAS OIL ON IT. I HAD TO HAVE IT REDONE SO ANOTHER SPARK PLUG COULD BE PUT IN THERE AND NOW IT HAS DON IT AGAIN. THE SAME ONE NUMBER 2. SPARK PLUG. THIS IS CRAZY I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP FIXIN THIS TRUCK OVER AND OVER. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE WHEN IT BLEW THE SPARK PLUG AND I DONO WANT TO GO THOUGH THIS AGAIN. YALL KNOW THAT THIS IS A DEFAULT IN THESES VEHICLES BUT UR NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE TO USE MY TRUCK TO GO TO THE DOCTORS. AND I CAN'T GO IF IT STAYS BROKE DOWN. YALL NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM ....

I HAVE HAD 2 DIFFERENT SPARK PLUGS EJECTED FROM THE ENGINE ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN AND HAD A HELI COIL INSTALLED. I HAVE NOT REPAIRED THE SECOND INSTANCE YET. THERE WAS A 2 YEAR TIME SPAN BETWEEN THE EVENTS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS AT LOW SPEED GOING THROUGH TOWN. THE SECOND TIME I WAS ON THE FREEWAY.

A SPARK PLUG BLOW OUT OF THE ENGINE. I PURCHASED A DORMAN KIT TO REPAIR AND REPLACE THE SPARK PLUG. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE FAR FROM HOME FOR CONCERN THAT ANOTHER SPARK PLUG MAY BLOW OUT OF THE ENGINE. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD HAVE MADE THE ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE CYLINDER HEADS NOT HAVING THICK ENOUGH MATERIAL TO HOLD SPARK PLUGS IN THE THREADS A RECALL.
