#1722 of 1827 Cold + Idle = shutdown by mcmushx15 Dec 04, 2007 (4:49 pm)
I have a 2002 which when cold (temp gauge) and when the engine is idle, the car shuts off. When its warm, the truck is good to go. We tried going to Ford but I think they messed up something as the diagnostic doesn't show anything wrong ... I think its a sensor of some sought but unsure... what can i try or look for???   TIA

#1724 of 1827 2007 Expedition Traction control comes on for no reason by daver1 Dec 07, 2007 (6:34 pm)
Replying to: c21realtor (Nov 10, 2007 8:34 pm) I too have a 2007 4x4 Expedition and I was just making a short run (less than a mile) to the store and on the way back the brakes started chattering severely and the traction control indicator came on. This was on dry pavement. I just bought this car with 22K miles on it. Is it yours?

#1726 of 1827 Hard to start truck.... by sonyam Jan 10, 2008 (11:32 am)
I just bought a 2004 Expedition and I am having SOOO many problems with it. First off it has about 190,000 miles but this is the only truck we could get at the time. I regret it now. I can't even turn my truck on without it giving me problems. I have to crank it at least 3 or 4 times before it will start. Then sometimes it kinda jerks like it doesn't want to go. Just this morning i was ocming to a red light and it just turned off on me. The brakes sound horrible as well. I don't know ANYTHING about trucks can anyone help me out to what u think it could be so I won't get taken advantage of at the mechanics.... I'd really appreciate it. I tried putting gas treatment and fuel injector fluid but it still does the same thing .... Thank you!   I almost forgot... the 6-disc cd changer id so MESSED UP!... it plays what it wants when it wants and has trouble loading and ejecting... it says BAD DISC on brand new cd's
#1727 of 1827 190,000 miles on an 2004? by mschmal Jan 10, 2008 (12:59 pm)
I would bet any money that the person who drove this vehicle before you skipped many of the scheduled maintenance requirements.   190,000 is 3 years is 63k+ miles per year! 5,200 miles per month!   You Expedition should have had 38 oil changes, about 1 per month 3 Transmission services. about 1 per year.   Mark Replies to this message: alwaysfords2 (Jan 15, 2008 5:14 am) happeetxnrn (Jan 26, 2008 6:56 pm) tidester (Jan 26, 2008 10:36 pm)
#1728 of 1827 Re: 04 Expedition Rotors [trumpguy03] by dadoeight Jan 14, 2008 (6:21 pm)
Replying to: trumpguy03 (Nov 26, 2007 12:56 pm) Dear Trumpguy03: My friendly neighbor is a retired automechanic who owned his own shop. I had the same problem. He said they the rotors should be turned in place. If you take them off and turn them they will likely never go back on exactly the way they were. Rust or other stuff behind them will cause them to be out of alignment and cause more problems down the line. He said he had a machine that does it while they are still on the car. He recommended only taking them off if they couldn't be turned and you needed new ones.

Replying to: mschmal (Jan 10, 2008 12:59 pm) That person is pretty typical - upset and calling the truck a lemon, gets onto the boards and posts once and never comes back.. A lemon? It's got 190k on it. They probably never drove it before they bought it either.

#1731 of 1827 Spark Plugs by klbyrkit Jan 18, 2008 (11:15 am)
I tried searching to see if this subject was posted before, but nothing came up. We are looking at buying a new SUV in the next few weeks and am researching all I can. I really like what I see in the Expedition, but on Consumeraffairs.com website there are many Ford owners that say there is a spark plup defect where the spark plugs blow out, causing the cylinder coil to be replaced. Does anyone know whether this is a problem that only occurs in certain model years? Does the 2007 or 2008 Expedition have a different engine? The link where I saw the spark plug problem is http://www.consumeraffairs.com/automotive/ford_spark.html I truly appreciate any advice. We will be towing a 19 ft travel trailer and we guess it's almost 6,000 lbs loaded with everything. Replies to this message: happeetxnrn (Jan 26, 2008 6:51 pm) paul9250 (Apr 30, 2008 8:18 pm)
