NHTSA complaint #11130883, filed 2018-09, 125,000 miles“While driving in the city on local streets, the engine just stops with no ability to drive. I am an instant safety problem on the road. This happened 3 times in one day. Fortunately, no one was injured. After a few minutes, the car starts up again. My mechanic can't duplicate the problem. Anyone help before there is a major life-threatening accident!! Thanks!”

In a year's time, it has turned off four or more times. Most of those times, we were traveling at speeds of about 60mph. All of the power shuts off, steering and brakes included. We turn the key off and it does restart. Luckily we have not been in any terrible accidents!”

I know that the san diego police had the same problem with their expeditions and they were recalled and repaired,now they changed to Ford explorers . Is there anything still on the books for the expeditions? The vehicle can be in any function,it is just not working, and also I hear a tumpping noise in my right rear panel. I am unable to send any pictures because everything is covered.”

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?? …”
