#30 of 59 Greetings by johnny2003 Jan 02, 2004 (6:09 pm)
Purchased our new 04 EB about a month ago after months and months of research. Overall we are pleased with our purchase but the brake dust drives me crazy! Any suggestions? Replies to this message: fordman6 (Apr 21, 2005 9:31 pm)
#31 of 59 Brake Dust by alwaysfords Jan 04, 2004 (11:12 am)
You can change the pads to one of the formualtions designed for low dusting, you can wait for Ford to offer the replacement pads they have been working on for two years, or you can get a set of brake dust guards (Kleen Wheels). I went with the KW and have been very happy. Everyone you tell about them will say you are asking for warped rotors but ask them if they actually have any first hand knowlwedge of anyone with the problem and you will see it is all just arm chair philosophers. They are $80 for four. This is the second Expy I've had them on.
#32 of 59 ghost in my 2000 Expedition by dirk1 Jul 02, 2004 (8:23 am)
My 2000 Eddie Bauer Expedition is having the following problems: continues trying to start while running, won't start, radio comes on by itself, a/c blower comes on when vehicle is off, wipers won't work at times, tries to start itself when keys are removed. An OBD test shows no codes or pending codes. Please HELP!! Replies to this message: hdxlh1100 (Mar 16, 2006 9:58 am) jddaero (Mar 20, 2006 12:45 pm)
#34 of 59 03 problem list growing by expo2003 Aug 19, 2004 (3:22 am)
I've had my '03 eddie bauer expedition for 2yrs and my list of problems are growing. At six months the passenger side driving light's internal housing overheated and a piece melted off. Seems to be a common problem because the service rep had just replaced one the day before. At the 1.5 yr mark things really went south. The passenger side mirror stopped returning to the set position after driving in reverse, due to a faulty memory module. The driver side seat motor began to make a noise loud enough that it could be heard six feet from the car when the doors were unlocked. This along with the clicking noise of the faulty passenger mirror turned heads in the parking lot. Soon after, the reverse sensor began giving off false alarms and became totally useless. To Ford's credit all these items were fixed under the warranty, but the experience reminds me of the constant visits to the shop caused by my old clunker. Hopefully they got it right with year two of the new model. Replies to this message: upstairswoman (Oct 01, 2005 7:14 pm)

Replying to: KarenS (Dec 03, 2001 9:31 am) Hi Everybody,   I am the owner of an 03 Expedition XLT that has most of the bells and whistles. 4x4, larger engine, autotrack, upgraded sound system, sun roof, 70/30 3rd row seats, etc. I am really impressed with the way that it handles but a little disappointed in the maintenance problems. I was one of the first owners of an 03 and it was our primary vehicle for about six months and now is my wife’s vehicle for driving around the suburbs of the Washington Metro Area. She has previously had a few fender benders and one major accident and I wanted her and the family to have a little more protection. We also have a large family and needed the extra room and I didn’t want another minivan.   We have over 36K miles on the vehicle. It is not holding up well and I will probably sell it sometime in 05. Lots of small and large problems as compared to my Toyota.   john

Hi everyone. I just bought, 800 miles and counting, a loaded Expy and Love it! No air suspension though. I have friends that are service manager and mechanic at a Ford dealership. So, I got the inside scoop on maintenance issues and when to buy before I bought. I'm a Realtor in the Maryland/DC metro area. I use the truck to carry clients around and haul my 18 month old - wife and dogs around.   Todd

#38 of 59 04 Eddie Bauer Premium by geno001 Apr 08, 2005 (5:11 pm)
Bought 2/14/04, 22,500 miles currently and counting, change oil/ filters and rotate tires. Best vehicle we ever owned. Every option available. 3 hour drive every weekend to the beach and back, drives on the beach all weekend. We love it. Never a problem. Has all but air ride, nav radio and stability. Wanted limited slip rear, can't have that with stability system. Its all good!!
#39 of 59 Lots of Problems by lcanu Apr 21, 2005 (1:27 pm)
I currently have a 04 EB Expedition.......major problems and I am about to take legal action. At 14K brought in for shaking of the wheel and front end. They attempted many things with no luck and then replaced the Torque Converter. This is unheard of in a vehicle with low mileage. Then at 22K the car was still doing the same thing and now the front end was acting strange as well as the brakes. Brought it back in and this time they replace Rack and Pinion, Ring and Pinion, both front brakes, two rotors and the 8th coil....... in addition because the seat heater was not working they replace heater control module.......... the car still shakes when sitting still, drives like crap and now make rear end noises and does not always start. I am dealing with the Ford Rep and if they do not buy me out within the next two weeks I am going to file with the Dispute Settlement Board. Anyone out there have anything to add?
