• 12/22/2008· TIRES

  TIRES IN MY 2007 FORD EXPEDITION REGULARLY LOSE AIR. LOCAL TIRE SHOP DIDN'T LOCATE LEAK IN TIRE. TIRES WEARING UNEVENLY OVER TIME AND NOW MUST REPLACE ALL FOUR AFTER 30K MILES. UPON REMOVING TIRE AND TIRE SHOP INSPECTING, THEY NOTICED CRACKS IN VALVE STEMS. BOUGHT FOUR NEW TIRES. *TR

• 12/18/2017· ENGINE

  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.

  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.

WHEN TALKING TO FORD DEALERS, ONE THAT REPLACED THE TIRE AND ONE THAT SOLD THE EXPEDITION, BOTH SAID IT WAS BAD LUCK AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE TIRE SENSOR SYSTEM, I WOULD HAVE RUINED THE RIM AS WELL AS THE TIRE. THE CAR DID NOT VIBRATE OR PULL TO THE SIDE OR ANY OTHER PROBLEMS, IT KEPT RUNNING AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG UNTIL THE SENSOR KICKED IN AND BY THEN IT WAS TOO LATE, THE RIM CUT INTO THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE. THE REPAIR CENTER CONFIRMED IT WAS A BAD VALVE. SADLY, WHEN THEY REPLACED THE TIRE, THEY USED THE SAME TYPE OF STEM AND IT LEAKED AS WELL.

I TOOK IT BACK TO A DEALER AND FORD SERVICE SAID THAT A MEMO SAID NOT TO WORK ON MY TRANSMISSION UNTIL THE UPDATE FOR SOFTWARE IS ISSUED SOMETIME IN NOVEMBER. THIS IS AT LEAST A MONTH AWAY AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE FOR MY WIFE AND FAMILY TO DRIVE IN. I HAVE A FORD REP WHO WE ASKED TO SUPPLY US WITH A RENTAL CAR AND THEY ARE SAYING WE CAN RENT A CAR AND THEY WILL REVIEW IT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FIXED AND DECIDE IF THEY ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THE RENTAL.

• 10/17/2008· TIRES

  ON SEPTEMBER 4, 2008, I EXPERIENCED A LOW TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR WARNING ON MY 2007 FORD EXPEDITION (VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW;ALL TIRES ON THE VEHICLE WERE THE ORIGINAL FACTORY INSTALLED TIRES.) I CHECKED ALL TIRES AND DID NOT SEE AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE AND SINCE I WAS IN A RURAL AREA AT THE TIME I FELT THAT IT WAS IN MY BEST INTEREST TO GET TO A MORE POPULATED AREA WHERE I COULD HAVE THE TIRES CHECKED. THE TIRE QUICKLY LOST ALL AIR PRESSURE AND WENT FLAT CAUSING ME TO TAKE AN EVASIVE MOVE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. THE TIRE WAS CHANGED AND I TOOK THE FAILED TIRE INTO FUTURE FORD OF ROSEVILLE WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE. THE TIRE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF A PUNCTURE OR REASON FOR THE TIRE TO FAIL. NO COMPENSATION FROM THE DEALER WAS OFFERED. ON OCTOBER 16, 2008, THE LOW TIRE SENSOR LIGHT AGAIN ACTIVATED. AFTER CHECKING ALL TIRES I FOUND THAT ONE OF THE TIRE VALUES WAS SPLIT AND LEAKING (HISSING). I WAS ABLE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL TIRE COMPANY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. UPON INSPECTION OF THE OTHER TIRE VALUES WE FOUND THAT ALL THE VALUES (EXCEPT FOR THE NEW TIRE THAT HAD BEEN INSTALLED) WERE ALL SPLIT AND WOULD EVENTUALLY START TO LEAK. I HAD ALL THE VALUES REPLACED ON ALL THE TIRES. AT THE TIME THE TIRE COMPANY, LES SCHWAB, INFORMED ME THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME REPORTED ISSUES WITH LEAKING TIRE VALVES ON SOME FORD VEHICLES. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT CONSUMER REPORTS IS RECOMMENDING THAT ALL 2007 FORD VEHICLE TIRE VALVES BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF FOUND TO BE CRACKED. ON 10/17/08, I REPORTED THIS TO FUTURE FORD OF ROSEVILLE AND THEY WERE UNAWARE OF ANY TYPE OF TIRE VALVE FAILURES. SEEMS THAT CAR DEALERS SHOULD BE CHECKING FOR THIS PROBLEM ON DILL VALVES. LES SCHWAB WAS ABLE TO RECOVER 2 OF THE CRACKED VALVES FROM MY EXPEDITION. ALL ARE TR414 VALVES WHICH APPEAR TO BE UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR FAILURE AND POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUES. MY COST FOR THIS PROBLEM IS NOW $250.00. *TR

  WE HAVE A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION WITH A REMOTE ELECTRIC START INSTALLED IN THE TRUCK. WHEN YOU REMOTE START THE VEHICLE THEN GET INTO THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION YOU ARE ABLE TO PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT TO ANY POSITION........... THIS HAS BEEN WITNESSED BY THE FORD DEALER WHO WAS SHOCKED, BUT HAS TOLD ME ITS WORKING THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED........... IF YOU TEST THIS,,,,,,, REMOTE START THE VEHICLE THEN SIT IN THE DRIVERS SEAT, PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE PEDAL AND MOVE THE SHIFTER. THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF AS ITS SUPPOSE TO AND ONCE THE ENGINE DIES THE SHIFTER WILL NOT MOVE. ITS JUST FOR THE SPLIT OF 3 TO 10 SECONDS IT TAKES FOR THE ENGINE TO STOP THAT SHIFTER IS FREE TO MOVE ..........IF A CHILD IS TO ENTER THE VEHICLE AND PUT THEIR FOOT ON THE PEDAL THEY WILL HAVE THAT AMOUNT OF TIME TO MOVE THE SHIFTER AND ONCE YOU MOVE THE SHIFTER THAT CAR IS FREE TO ROLL AT ANYTIME AND THE SHIFTER CAN STILL MOVE .............................................................. THE PROBLEM AS I SEE IT. IF I REMOTE START THE VEHICLE AND A CHILD CLIMBS INTO THE VEHICLE AND PRETENDS TO DRIVE PUTS HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND MOVES THE SHIFTER, THE CAR IS GOING TO ROLL AND IT NEVER HAD THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION..................... I PARK ON A HILL AND THIS GOOD EASILY KILL SOMEONE IF THE VEHICLE ROLLS...................THE FIX WOULD BE NOT ALLOW THE GEAR SHIFT TO MOVE OUT OF PARK WITH OUT THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION. I WAS ADVISED BY FORD NOT TO REMOTE START MY VEHICLE WITH THE DOORS UNLOCKED AND THAT'S FINE FOR ME, BUT FOR THE REST OF THE DRIVERS OF THESE TRUCKS WHO KNOWS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS MUST HAVE BEEN MISSED BY FORD. THE IGNITION NEEDS TO SEE THE KEY BEFORE IT RELEASES THE SHIFTER. JUST MY THOUGHTS. THANK YOU. *TR
