ONE MONTH AFTER THE PURCHASE OF MY 2007 EXPEDITION EDDIE BAUER MY AIR CONDITIONER IS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE RECEIVED TWO SERVICE BULLETINS FROM THE DEALER FROM FORD STATING THEY KNOW THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT ARE NOT SURE HOW TO FIX. I LIVE IN FLORIDA ITS HOT. *JB

SLIDING CAR ICON WILL DISPLAY OCCASSIONALY AND RANDOMLY ON DRY PAVEMENT FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME DURING WHICH THE BRAKES DO NOT WORK. THIS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO REAR END A CAR RECENTLY. *TR

THIS 2007 EXPEDITION WILL NOT HOLD WHILE STOPPED ON A HILL EITHER IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. WHEN IN EITHER GEAR THE CAR WILL DRIFT NOTICEABLY. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BACK UP WHILE ON A DOWN GRADE HILL THE BRAKE HAS TO BE HELD AND GAS MUST BE APPLIED SO THAT THE VEHICLE COULD SAFELY BACK UP WITHOUT IT SPINNING TIRE.*AK

I PURCHASED A 2007 EXPEDITION IN OCT. 06 AND ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, I NOTICED THAT WHEN I CAME TO A STOP I FELT A KICK AFTERWARDS. SLOWLY IT PROGRESSED TO A HARDER PUSH, WHERE IT ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE SOMEONE HIT ME FROM BEHIND. I TOOK IT FOR SERVICE AT MY LOCAL FORD DEALER IN OCTOBER 07 AND THEY HAD ORDERS FROM FORD TO RECALIBRATE THE TRANSMISSION FOR NOW UNTIL THEY FOUND A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM IN MID-NOVEMBER. THE RECALIBRATION WORKED FOR 1 WEEK AND NOW THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. AGAIN I CONTACTED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY CLAIM NOT TO HAVE A FIX YET. I NEED THIS FIX . *TR

I HAD PURCHASED A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION EL AND HAVE HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH BEING ABLE TO GO IN REVERSE WHILE FACING DOWN ON ANY KIND OF GRADE. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE ACCELARATION WHILE COMING FROM A STOP INTO TRAFFICE. MYSELF ALONG WITH MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN WILL NO LONGER DRIVE THE VEHICLE. WE WERE VERY CLOSE TO BEING HIT TWICE BECAUSE OF THE DEFECT IN THIS FORD VEHICLE. I HAD SUBMITTED FOR LEMON LAW AND SO FAR I HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY ANSWER FROM ARBITRATION. I CAN TELL YOU THAT FORD IS COVERING THIS UP BECAUSE I KNOW OF SERVERAL PERSONS AND BUSINESSES THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AND FORD STATED THAT THERE ARE NO ISSUES. WHILE ON THE PHONE WITH THE FORD REPRESENTATIVE IN THE ARBITRATION THEY ONLY SHOWED A FEW VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD ME THAT THE ONES THAT I RECEIVED FROM THE DEALERSHIP WERE FALSE. WHAT A CROCK. I WILL MAKE A COMPLAINT EVERYWHERE THAT I CAN BEFORE THIS VEHICLE KILLS SOMEONE. AT THIS POINT I WENT AND BOUGHT ANOTHER VEHICLE AND AM STUCK PAYING FOR TWO NOW THAT THE ONE JUST SITS AND WE REFUSE TO DRIVE IT. MY CHILDREN ARE AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE IN IT BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY GOES IN FORWARD WHILE IN REVERSE ALSO.

IT SEEMS THAT THE HEADLIGHT INTENSITY OF LATER MODEL AUTOS KEEPS GETTING BRIGHTER AND BRIGHTER. THEIR OWN VISIBILITY MIGHT BE ENHANCED, BUT IT IS AT THE EXPENSE OF ALL OF THE OTHER DRIVERS. I FEEL THAT THE FORD PICKUPS AND SUVS ARE A MAJOR CULPRIT, AS WELL AS ANY VEHICLE MADE BY ACURA. I WOULD SUPPORT A LAW RESTRICTING THE CANDLE POWER AND HEIGHT OF HEADLAMPS, AND AN ABSOLUTE BAN ON XENON LIGHTS. *JB

TL*- THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE 2007 FORD EXPEDITION EL HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FROM THE DAY HE DROVE THE VEHICLE OFF THE PARKING LOT OF THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE STAYED IN A HIGH GEAR AND THE ENGINE REVVED. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED IN THE WRONG GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED WHEN DRIVING WITH THE VEHICLE FULL OF PASSENGERS. HE TOOK THE VEHCILE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 02/07/07 WHICH WAS THE APPOINTMENT DATE THE DEALERSHIP GAVE HIM, AND THE DEALERSHIP TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR A TEST RIDE WITH THE CONTACT, AND THE SERVICE MECHANIC INFORMED HIM THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON THE 2007 FORD EXPEDITIONS, BUT THEY HAVD NO REMDEY FOR THE FAILURE.
