TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN LATITUDE TOUR, SIZE: P265/60/R18 (NA). THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES DISPLAYED PERFORATIONS IN THE SIDEWALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THERE WERE PERFORATIONS ON THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRES AND, AS A RESULT, THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE DOT NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13T006000 (TIRES). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE DOT NUMBER AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING ON ACCELERATION AND STOPPING OR GOING UP HILL. ITS BEEN TO OUR FORD DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED IT AND AT FIRST THEY FELT IT AND SAID THEY FIXED IT BUT NOW EVERYTIME I TAKE IT IN FOR THAT OR THE AC BLOWER GOING OFF AND ON THEY SAY THEY DON'T FEEL OR SEE ANYTHING IT GOTTEN RIDICULOUS. IN THE FREEWAY I-10 ME AND MY SON WERE TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO FAST ENOUGH. I WONT BOTHER WITH THE DEALERSHIP HERE IN TOWN THEY DON'T CARE. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AND NOW THE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES OFF AND ON IN TEMPERATURE CHANGE IT SEEMS LIKE. OUR DEALER FIXED THE DOOR HANDLE BUT NOW ANY RAIN THE INSIDE OF OUR DOOR FILLS WITH WATER AND THEY SAY ITS NOT THERE FAULT AND WONT FIX THAT EITHER. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH FORD. SPOKE TO THEM ABOUT THE AIR BAG AND THEY ALSO SAY THEY WONT FIX. WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS 40000 SUV VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND ITS SUPPOSE TO BE A FAMILY VEHICLE....RIGHT WE GET NO UPDATE OR RECALLS INFO AND OUR DEALERSHIP IS THE WORST I'VE EVER DEALT WITH

MY STEERING SHAFT LOCKED UP ON THE HIGHWAY. I ALMOST COULD NOT TURN THE VEHICLE. IT TOOK MUCH FORCE TO BREAK IT FREE. MADE IT HOME AND STARTED TO DIAGNOSE IT. FIRST, I THOUGHT THE RACK & PINION FAILED. BUT IT TURNED OUT TO BE FINE. IT APPEARS THAT THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT IS THE FAILURE. THIS IS THE PARTS BETWEEN THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE RACK & PINION. I REPLACED IT WITH FORD PART NUMBER 8L1Z-3B676-A. THIS NEW PART APPEARS TO BE A REDESIGNED SHAFT FROM FORD. I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET A LITTLE WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THEIR APPEARS TO BE MANY ASSOCIATED WITH THE SAME FAILURE. I BELIEVE THE U-JOINTS IN THE SHAFT AND ITS MATERIAL SELECTION ON THE ORIGINAL PART TO BE THE PROBLEM. THE NEW SHAFT IS A MORE ROBUST DESIGN AND APPEARS TO BE OF A DIFFERENT GRADE OF METAL. MY CONCERN IS THAT IT TOOK MUCH FORCE FOR ME TO BREAK THE STEERING LOCK UP. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY BAD INCIDENT AND AFTER MY RESEARCH. IT APPEARS THAT FORD IS AWARE OF AN ISSUE AND REDESIGNED A PART FOR A FIX. I KNOW THAT MY WIFE COULD NOT BEEN ABLE TO BREAK IT FREE GOING DOWN HIGHWAY. I HAVE THE OLD PART SAVED AND WOULD BE GLAD TO SENT IT TO YOU FOR YOUR REVIEW. I'M CONCERNED THAT MILLIONS OF THESE VEHICLES ARE ON THE ROAD AND COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO MANY UNNECESSARY COLLISIONS. EFFECTS 2004-2011 F-150'S & EXPEDITIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HAZARD LIGHTS ILLUMINATED INDEPENDENTLY AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. AFTER PARKING AND EXITING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT WAS ALERTED BY PEOPLE MORE THAN ONCE THAT THE HAZARD LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. AS THE FAILURE PROGRESSED, BOTH TURN SIGNALS FAILED TO WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

I PURCHASED A 2007 EXPEDITION A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WITH 67000 MILES. I'VE BEEN HAVING SEVERAL ISSUES WITH IT BUT I FIGURED IT WAS JUST BECAUSE IT WAS A USED VEHICLE. I MAINTAIN MY CAR VERY WELL GETTING ALL OF THE SERVICE IT NEEDS DONE. ON 4/12/15 I WAS IN THE CAR WITH MY TWO DAUGHTERS AND IT JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT WARNING. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND WE ALL WE VERY AFRAID. LUCKILY THE CAR BEHIND US WAS NOT TOO CLOSE AND WAS ABLE TO PREVENT A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD ON 4/15/15. ALL I WAS GIVEN WAS AN APOLOGY AND TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO AT THIS TIME. LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT THERE WOULD BE A MAJOR RECALL JUST YESTERDAY, 4/29, FOR THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR NEWER VEHICLES. I ALSO SEE AN OUTSTANDING NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS WITH THE SAME VERSION OF MY 2007 VEHICLE. I GUESS THAT FORD IS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE THEY RECALL THIS ISSUE. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET ABOUT THIS AND WILL NOT STOP OVER TURNING OPTIONS UNTIL FORD DOES SOMETHING TO FIT MY VEHICLE. *TR
