#1736 of 1827 Bad PCM and overdirve O/D light blinking by jas11 Feb 01, 2008 (12:08 pm)
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
#1737 of 1827 HUB and ABS problems by help17 Feb 02, 2008 (4:56 pm)
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.

#1740 of 1827 Is there a quick way to check if cruise control recall by kentavos22 Feb 18, 2008 (8:29 am)
has been performed on my 2000 Expedition?   I just purchased a 2000 XLT RWD Expedition with 78,000 miles. I have no mechanical history on the car except for the carfax report which doesn't offer very much.   It runs well, but I've noticed a few eletrical ticks. I'm most concerned about the recall that prevented the cruise control from starting a fire. Is there an easy way to check if this car was fixed during the recall or do I need to have the dealer do it?   Also, are there any tips for a new owner?

Replying to: kentavos22 (Feb 18, 2008 8:29 am) just call the dealer with the VIN, they will be able to tell if it has been done. Replies to this message: kentavos22 (Feb 22, 2008 6:53 am)

Replying to: solo57 (Dec 20, 2007 10:27 pm) Did you ever get the Gear Shift Lever replace? If so can you explained how you did it cost time and parts?

#1744 of 1827 map light burnt out by tysmith14 Feb 25, 2008 (12:40 pm)
I have an 03 expedition and the drivers side map light is burnt out in the plastic console by the top of the windshield. How do I get the bulb out? I do not see any screws, does the plastic lense cover just pop off or the plastic frame covering it pop off?   Thanks in advance Replies to this message: tysmith14 (Feb 28, 2008 12:43 pm)
