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.

I have a 2003 Expedition that I bought brand new. I have had it serviced at the dealer since then for all major services. I have 60,000 miles on it. The O/D (Overdrive) light started blinking. I manually pused the overdirve button and was able to shift the car in and out of overdrive, so it was working. When I tool the Expedition in for the 60,000 mile service I told them the O/D light had been blinking for a couple weeks. When they checked the codes they said it was a sensor on the transmission. Then they called back and explained that when they opened up the transmission they found metal chunks that were fairly large. They tore apart the transmission and replaced the torque converter and 4 clutch bands (I think that is what the said). They said the front clutch was burned up? I paid $1200 and picked the car up. Within a few miles.....guess what? The O/D light started blinking again. I called back and they said bring it in the next week. I did and now they found that the PCM is bad. What is interesting is that the same codes showed up the second time. The new PCM is covered under the 8/80k warranty. Now I have asked the dealer to consider that the damages that I paid for before were caused by the failed PCM. He disagreed (no surprise) and said that he has never seen a PCM cause transmission problems. Is that true? Can I get them to pay for part of the transmission repair? I think you call that "consequential damages" ? or something like that. Help! John |

| I have a 2004 ford expediotin, we bought it in 06'. Last year we noticed a weird rubbing noice coming from the drivers side tire. we changed the brakes and got new tires. it didnt fix it. about a week later we noticed the ABS light was coming on, as well, the brake pedal when pressed felt as if the lines needed to be bled, with a serious shaking. so we had it looked at, all in all they told us the HUB was bad so we had it replaced. it beed about 6 months and the noise is coming back and the ABS light never went off, but with the light off is when we notice the shaking and vibrating in the brake petal. we took it to the dealer and they s aid " there is nothing we find wrong with any of the stuff you described" all in all im about to drive my car off a cliff and get enjoyment out of watching it burn! PLEASE HELP. | |
