2004 Ford Expedition Electrical system Problems

“When driving home from seattle wa. To walla walla wa. At a speed of 70 MPH the vehicle died and I had to get off the road, it then restarted and did it to me 3 more times. When I took it to the shop the mechanic stated that it was in the fuse box. He had just did a replacement on the same type vehicle that had caught fire. It is the fuel relay in the fuse box that malfunctions and catches fire. I feel this is a safety issue.”

“Battery drains, took fuse to radio out and fixed the problem for a while but then the locks started to act on there own no way to fix dealers keep saying they never heard of the problem or they want to try things but all they end up dong is costing me more money. But I have found hundreds of people on the internet with the same problems.”

“Also like many other complaints I have seen, the 2004 Ford Expedition I have has shut off on me several times while driving and I was told to switch out the entire fuse box. I called the dealer and they said to replace it, it would be about $500 for it. It's ridiculous Ford hasn't issued a recall because this seems like a problem many people are having as well. We have almost gotten into a couple of accidents because of this issue! …”

“This has occurred a three times in last month...first being in july. I park my vehicle, turn ignition off and pull out key and the air conditioner is still blowing and radio is still going for a couple seconds after key is pulled out...only a couple seconds and immediately shuts itself off. This is definitely an electrical or ignition issue.I do know radio will stay on until door opened, thats a feature of the vehicle, but this is different, air stays blowing?? …”

“My vehicle, without any warning at any speed, including highway speeds, shuts off completely,without any warning or indication that it is about to do this. Always on a straight road with almost a full tank of gas. The cause a relay switch which is soldiered into the memory board that controls the vehicle's brain box that shorts out. After doing research on the internet, I am both shocked and disgusted that the nhsta has not investigated this faulty design by Ford and made them recall all of the 2003- 2008 expeditions. …”
