My front passenger door has to be pushed heavily to open UNKNOWN REASON WHY

I HAVE TO REPLACE SPARK PLUGS EVERY WEEK. THE ENGINE EITHER KEEPS MAKING THE PLUGS FOUL OUT, OR IT BURNS THE TIP RIGHT OFF THE ENGINE. I'M STARTING TO SEE FROM THE COMPLAINTS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH MY 6 KIDS BECAUSE OF HOW BAD IT KEEPS MISSING AND TRYING TO DIE. I CHANGE PLUGS THEN DRIVES WELL FOR ABOUT A WEEK.

ALWAYS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN LOWER GEAR, WITH RPMS BETWEEN 1-2, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY BEGIN TO VIBRATE/SHAKE AND FEELS LIKE YOU'RE RIDING OFF THE ROAD ON AN INTERSTATE (LIKE THE SPEED RIDGES IN THE PULL-OFF LANE. IT IDLES GREAT, SEEMS TO CHANGE GEARS SMOOTHLY (AUTOMATIC). SOMETIMES THE VIBRATION IS MINIMAL BUT OTHER TIMES IT'S QUITE NOTICABLE, BUT USUALLY LASTS LESS THAN 15 SECONDS. IF THE RPMS ARE OVER 1.5 IT ONLY DOES IT LESS THAN 5 SECONDS. I WONDERED IF IT IS FAULTY MOTOR MOUNTS OR TRANSMISSION MOUNTS? I'VE HAD TIRES ROTATED, BOUGHT A NEW SET OF TIRES, SHOCKS ARE FINE. I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING.

I HAVE A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION WILL START UP IN THE MORNING AND BE FINE UNTIL IT WARMS UP THEN IT WILL STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR AT STOP SIGHS OR LIGHTS THESE MOTORS ARE KNOW TO HAVE PROBLEMS FROM FACTORY IT IS MY ONLY CAR I HAVE TO GO TO COLLEGE I NEED HELP RESOLVING THIS ISSUE

ENGINE STARTED MAKING NOISE. PULLED IT A PART AND FOUND THE COMMON 5.4 LITER PROBLEM. THE CAM LOBS WAS EATEN UP ROLLER HAD FROZEN UP AND EATEN CAM UP AND TAPET HAS WENT BAD ALSO. VECH WAS IN USE WHEN THIS STARTED.

CAR HAS ALWAYS BUCKED AND TRUCK AND TRIED TO CATCH UP TO IT SELF. NOW I HAVE A TICKING SOUND COMING FROM UNDER MY HOOD. TICKING STAYS THE SAME RUNNING LOW RPM OR AT A HIGHER RPM.

DELEVOPED A TICKING NOISE TIMING CHAINS WERE REPLACED ALL ROCKERS AND LIFTERS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE THE TRUCK LOOSES POWER IT STARTS UP ROUGH AT ABOUT 1800 RPM YOU CAN HEAR THE TICKING LOUD PAST 2000 RPM THE TICKING GOES AWAY I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THESE ENGINES HAVE CAM PHASER PROBLEMS IT RECENTLY DEVELOPED A P0022 CODE WHICH IS INT CAM POSITION TIMING OVER RET BANK 2 I HAVE REPLACED THE VVT SELONOIDS AND STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM VEHICLE LOST POWER ON HIGHWAY SPEED DROPPED FROM 70 AND WOULD NOT GO PAST 30 VERY UNSAFE INCEDENT ON THE INTERSTATE

WHEN YOU DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND COME TO A STOP, IE: (INTERSECTION) THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO NEUTRAL WHILE IT'S IN DRIVE AND UPON PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, IT ENTERS A SAFETY TYPE MODE WITH NO INDICATION AND WILL REMAIN IN GEAR ZERO FOR APPROXIMATELY 1-2 SECONDS AND THEN AS IT STARTS MOVING, IT DOES SO WITH VERY LITTLE POWER LEAVING THE VEHICLE IN DANGER OF GETTING STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM CROSS TRAFFIC. AT THIS TIME, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE BUT IT SEEMS TO BE COMMON VIA THE INTERNET COMPLAINTS ON THE 6R80 TRANSMISSIONS ON FORD VEHICLES. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 4 TIMES WHILE TRYING TO CROSS MULTI LANE HIGHWAYS BUT THE MOST RECENTLY CAME VERY CLOSE TO WHAT COULD HAVE ENDED INTO A MULTIPLE FATAL ACCIDENT WITH A SEMI TRUCK WHO WAS BARELY ABLE TO STOP IN TIME BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO CROSS A 3 LANE HIGHWAY. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE GO BACK TO NORMAL BY SIMPLY SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING IT. WHAT MAKES THIS REALLY DANGEROUS, IS THE DRIVER SUCH AS ME BEING UNAWARE THAT MY VEHICLE IS IN A SAFETY RESTRICTED POWER OUTPUT WHEN THIS HAPPENS. NO WARNING UNTIL YOU COMMIT INTO A DEADLY SITUATION. PEOPLE REPORT THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AS THE VEHICLE GOING INTO NEUTRAL BY ITSELF WHEN COMING TO A STOP. WHEN THEY TRY TO RESUME DRIVING THE VEHICLE RPMS WILL INCREASE AND THE VEHICLE MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT POP INTO GEAR SOFTLY OR FORCEFULLY. SOMETIMES WITH FULL ACCELERATION AUTHORITY AND SOMETIMES WITH A MAX ATTAINABLE SPEED OF 5 MPH OR LESS DEPENDING ON THE GRADIENT AND TERRAIN UNTIL YOU CAN REACH A SAFE SPOT AND RESTART THE VEHICLE.

I REPLACED THE AIR COMPRESSOR AND IT WAS WORKING FINE BUT THEN STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR, THE MECHANIC CHECKED ALL THE LINES AND FOUND THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE WAS NOT SECURED CORRECTLY AND HAD RUBBED A HOLE IN THE HIGH SIDE HOSE AND WAS LEAKING REFRIGERANT OIL. NOW MY OPTIONS ARE EITHER DOING AWAY WITH THE BACK AIR CONDITIONER OR REPLACING THE HOSE WHICH IS $600.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION. WHILE REVERSING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE BRAKES AND BOTH FRONT WHEELS SEIZED AND WOULD NOT TURN. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE REMAINED STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THE CONTACT SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND REMOVED THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND THE GEAR WAS PLACED IN NEUTRAL. THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND HAD TO PULL THE VEHICLE BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY VIA A ROPE. THE CONTACT SPRAYED THE WHEELS WITH A TYPE OF SEIZURE UNLOCK SPRAY AND THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN A DAY LATER. IN ADDITION, THE ABS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE CALIPERS SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 151,000.

AS SOON AS YOU START THE VEHICLE THE BATTERY SYMBOL DISPLAYS ON THE DASH, IT GOES ON AND OFF CHIMING REPEATEDLY, THEN SWITCHES FROM BATTERY SYMBOL TO WRENCH SYMBOL AND THEN MY ENTIRE GAUGE CLUSTER STARTS. EVERY LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY, THE RPM GAUGE AND MPH DROPS TO ZERO AND THE ENGINE CLUNKS REALLY LOUD (WHILE DRIVING), THE AC OR HEAT WILL COMPLETELY TURN OFF AND ON, THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER AND DIM ON AND OFF AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING, BAD VIBRATION, LOUD GROWL TYPE IDLE SOUND, THE RADIO SHUTS OFF, WHEN YOU TURN THE HEATER ON IT REPEATEDLY CLUNKS IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL YOU TURN AC ON AGAIN OR SHUT IT OFF, REAR AIR SUSPENSION LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS ALL HAPPENS WHENEVER IT WANTS. I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND RESTART AND THE PROBLEM WILL STAY GONE AND DRIVE NORMAL UNTIL IT COOLS AGAIN AND THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN TESTED AT 3 SHOPS AND TURNED AWAY BY ALL BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START AS THEY ARE SCANNING THE VEHICLE AND 17 CODES CAME UP. THEY STARTED TESTING EACH ITEM WITH A CODE AND ALL CAME BACK AS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. SO I BELIEVE IT'S EITHER ELECTRICAL OR ONE OF THE BRAINS/COMPUTERS OF THE VEHICLE?. IT IS BECOMING A SAFETY CONCERN AND I NEED HELP.

SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH (FRONT AND BACK) WHEN ACCELERATING AND STOPPING. ADJUSTING SEAT DOES NOT HELP, ROCKS ON THE TRACK UP AND DOWN. CAN ROCK SEAT WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY ALSO.

MY TIRES WONT STAY INFLATED, THE AIR KEEPS COMING OUT DAILY, THERE IS NO LEAKS OR ANYTHING , ALSO I ALMOST CAUSED A ACCIDENT , I HIT A CURB

FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 45 MPH. BRAKES WERE APPLIED TO SLOW DOWN BEFORE A CURVE. AT THE POINT THE FRONT WHEELS LOCKED UP AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH AND SWERVE ON THE ROADWAY. TO PREVENT A ROLLOVER THE VEHICLE WAS STEERED OFF THE ROAD WHEN IT JUMPED AN EMBANKMENT AND PLOWED THROUGH 25 FEET MUD AND BRUSH BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND LEFT UNTIL IT COULD BE TOWED OUT. AFTER A FEW HOURS THE CALIPERS RELEASED. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. WHEN ACCELERATED WAS PRESSED THE FRONT WHEELS WERE LOCKED UP AND THE BACK WHEELS WERE SPINNING. VEHICLE WAS PUT IN PARK, SHUT OFF, RESTARTED AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND CALIPERS WERE STILL LOCKED UP. VEHICLE WAS TOWED HOME AND CALIPERS RELEASED AFTER A FEW HOURS. CAR HAD ONLY BEEN RUNNING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES WHEN THIS HAPPENED. AFTER DIAGNOSIS IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BRACKETS THAT HOLD THE BRAKE LINES ON THE FRONT FAILED AND WHEEL ROTATION WERE THROUGH THE LINES WHICH CAUSED THE BRAKE LINES TO INTERMITTENTLY COLLAPSE. ALL BRAKE LINES, CALIPERS, TIE RODS, SHOCK/STRUTS, BRAKES, ROTORS, UPPER CONTROL ARMS AND LOWER BALL JOINTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON BOTH FRONT AND REAR. VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 180,000 MILES WHEN BOTH INCIDENTS OCCURRED 3 MONTHS APART.

MY INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE SPRINGS OUT AND HAS TO BE FORCE BACK IN PLACE. I'M TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL AND IT WAS FIXED. I'M NOT ARGUING THAT SOME TIME HAS PASSED BUT IF THAT'S THE CASE WHY IS THIS HAPPENING EXACTLY AS THE RECALL STATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE ABS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A SENSOR NEXT TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE ABS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 219,935.

THE ENGINE HAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO HAVE COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. IT IS STALLING OUT AND WILL NOT DRIVE AT ALL.

MY TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW AND I HAVE RECENTLY HAD MORE FUEL GAS WASTE QUICKLY IN THE PAST YEAR. I RECENTLY HAD THE FUEL LINE CHANGED IN JUNE 2017 BECAUSE A SPARK PLUG BURNT OUT AND CAUSED IT TO HAVE A LEAK THAT WAS DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO THE GAS TANK. I HAVE 123K MILES ON IT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LINE COMES ON EVERY TIME AFTER HALF A GAS TANK IS DONE. I HAD THE TRUCK DRIVING AND IT SHUTS OFF ON ITS OWN. SOMETIMES IT WILL HAVE A STRONG SHAKING OF THE MOTOR OR NO WARNING AT ALL WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. I'M VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT WHICH IS WHAT THE ERROR CODE POPS UP AND THE SPARK PLUGS AND COILS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. EVERY THING ELSE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED BUT I'M STILL HAVE THE ENGINE AND FUEL PROBLEM. THE GAS GOES SO FAST AND THIS IS A V8 WHERE I USUALLY DRIVE A 6 MILE TO WORK NOW SAYS IT HAS BEEN A 40 MILE DRIVE. DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO AND MAY TAKE IT BACK TO TRADE FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE BRAND. I HAD TO PARK THE TRUCK AFTER IT SHUT OFF ON ME AGAIN ON A SIDE STREET BEFORE GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY.

I HAVE THE 5.4 ENGINE IN MY 2007 FORD EXPEDITION WITH ONLY 70,000 MILES WHICH I PURCHASED IN 2007. I AM NOW EXPERIENCING CAM SENSOR PROBLEMS, THROTTLE BODY PROBLEMS AND NEED MAJOR REPAIRS. I HAVE VISITED MANY SITES AND UNDERSTAND THAT FORD HAS BEEN SUED BECAUSE OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE AND NOTHING CAME FROM THIS SUIT. THIS STARTED AROUND 2-3 WEEKS AGO, I HAD BEEN TRAVELING FOR 2-1/2 HOURS AND JUST PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY TO ENTER INTO MY HOUSING PLAN, WHEN MY CAR LOST RPMS, BECAME VERY ROUGH, AND THEN STALLED. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON OPEN IT ROAD IT RIDES GREAT UNTIL YOU SLOW DOWN AND THE RPM FALLS, THEN IT STUMBLES AND STALLS. I HAD AT THE DEALERSHIP A COUPLE OF TIMES, BUT UNTIL CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I COULD NOT GET IT DIAGNOSED. OVER THE WEEKEND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY LITE AND AS I STATED IT IS THE CAM POSITION SENORS AND STATES THAT THE SYSTEMS TOO RICH. I TALKED WITH A FORD REP TODAY AND THIS WILL BE ABOUT A $2000 REPAIR BILL, BUT UNTIL I CAN GET IT TO THEM AND THEY PLACE ON THEIR COMPUTER, THEY CANNOT GIVE ME THEIR FINAL ESTIMATE IF IT CAN BE REPAIRED OR I NEED A NEW ENGINE. I HAVE MANY MISGIVINGS ABOUT THIS SINCE ALL THAT I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET ABOUT ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE. FORD SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR A FAULTY ENGINE, AND BUYERS SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE BUYING A USED VEHICLE FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP WHO IS DEFINITELY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DISPLAYED 106 DEGREES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARD WAS EXTREMELY HOT TO THE TOUCH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO HEAT SHIELD COVERING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,700.

EVERY TIME I FUEL UP THE GAS FUMES FILL THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE SMELL IS SO STRONG THAT WE HAVE TO TURN OFF OUR CELL PHONES IN FEAR OF IGNITION

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. AFTER DIAGNOSIS WE FOUND THE FUEL PUMP WHICH IN LOCATED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK HAD BURNED AND MELTED AT THE WIRE CONNECTORS. HAD THE FUEL BEEN LOWER AND THE WIRES EXPOSED THE FUMES WOULD HAVE EXPLODED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES FROM A FIRE. THE FUEL TANK IS ALSO LOCATED DIRECTLY UNDER THE LEFT SIDE SEATS.

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. PRESSED ACCELERATOR TO PASS A TRACTOR TRAILER. THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED TO PASS (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION), BUT THEN DOWNSHIFTED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 1ST GEAR ON ITS OWN, WHICH IMMEDIATELY REVVED THE ENGINE UP TO RED LINE (5000 RPM) AND CAUSED THE REAR TIRES TO START TO SLOW TO LESS THAN VEHICLE SPEED. AS A RESULT, THE TIRES STARTED SMOKING AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SKID SIDEWAYS TO THE RIGHT OFF THE ROAD AND DOWN THE EMBANKMENT. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN SOME CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DOWN THE GRASSY EMBANKMENT AND FINALLY GET THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE REAR TIRES AND NARROWLY AVOID CRASHING. THE ONLY REASON THERE WAS NOT A CRASH WAS DUE TO THAT SECTION OF THE INTERSTATE HAVING A RELATIVELY SHALLOW GRASSY DOWNWARD EMBANKMENT. 1000 FEET IN EITHER DIRECTION OF THAT INTERSTATE WOULD HAVE CAUSED A MULTI-CAR ACCIDENT. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT BACK INTO GEAR AND DRIVE IT UP TO THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE SAFELY BACK TO MY HOME. ONCE HOME, I WAS ABLE TO RESEARCH THAT THERE IS AN EXISTING FORD RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT IT IS ONLY ON 2012 EXPEDITIONS AND 2011-2012 FORD F-150S WITH THE 6R80 TRANSMISSION. MY VEHICLE HAS THE 6R75 TRANSMISSION, WHICH WAS THE PREDECESSOR TO THE RECALLED ONE ABOVE.

THE TIRE BEGAN MAKING A SQUISHING NOISE AS IT ROTATED. OVER TIME IT BECAME WORSE. THEN ONE MORNING WE FOUND IT FLAT. WE TOOK IT OFF TO PUT THE SPARE TIRE ON. AT THAT TIME WE OBSERVED 9 SEPARATIONS OF THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE, ONE WITH CORD SHOWING THROUGH IT. DURING ITS LIFE, THE TIRE WAS ROTATED ROUTINELY AND WAS ALWAYS KEPT AT THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDED PRESSURE. IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN FEBRUARY OF 2011.

I LEFT TO GO GROCERY SHOPPING AROUND NOON THIS MARCH. ABOUT 15 MIN. INTO MY DRIVE GOING UP A HILL ON A HIGHWAY AND RIGHT AFTER PASSING A CAR THAT WAS DOING ABOUT 50 IN A 70 MPH ZONE, MY CAR JUST DIED WHILE TOPPING THE HILL. I HAD NO POWER STEERING, AND NO BREAKS. THANKFULLY I HAVE HAD CAR WITH OUT POWER STEERING AND KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE TOUGH TO GET IT ON THE SHOULDER BEFORE BEING HIT BY THE SEMI THAT WAS BEHIND ME. IT WOULD NOT START OR DO ANYTHING AFTER THAT SO I POPPED THE HOOD TO CHECK MY FUSES. AND FOUND OUT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP FUSE. I HAD OVER A QUARTER TANK OF GAS LEFT AND NO WARNING AS TO ANY PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. I CHECK ALL MY FLUIDS ON THE REGULAR AND HAVE OILS CHANGED WHEN NEEDED. WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS PULLED ALL THE WIRES ON THE PUMP WERE MELTED. LUCKY IT DUDNT CATCH FIRE, AND THE PART TO REPLACE THIS IS RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE.

I WAS RIDING ALONG THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY SUNROOF SUDDENLY EXPLODED! NOTHING HIT IT; THERE WAS NO ROCK OR PEBBLE. NOTHING WAS DROPPED ON MY SUNROOF. THE SUNROOF JUST SUDDENLY EXPLODED. SHATTERED GLASS WAS ALL OVER THE INTERIOR OF MY VEHICLE.

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.

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

2007 FORD EXPEDITION. BEGAN TO SPIT AND SPUTTER GOING 45MPH. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO AUTO SHOP FOR REPAIR. COST WAS $1,100 TO REPLACE 8 SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES. FORD USED A DEFECTIVE SPARK PLUG IN THIS VEHICLE. THE PLUG BREAKS OFF IN THE ENGINE WHEN REMOVING THEM. FORD KNEW OF THE ISSUE AND DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS ISSUE WITH THESE PLUGS BEGAN IN EARLY 2000'S. FORD SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THESE PLUGS LONG AGO. THERE ARE MANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS ONGOING RELATED DIRECTLY TO THE FAULTY SPARK PLUG. IF I HAD KNOW ABOUT THE PLUGS BEFORE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK, I WOULD HAVE HAD FORD REPLACE THEM BEFORE I EVEN DROVE IT. *TR
