“My 2006 Ford Expedition shut off without any warnings in the midst of me driving the truck everything shuts down it's hard for me to steer my vehicle and the brakes locks up this was so scary driving the expressway and trying to maneuver a stalled vehicle”
NHTSA complaint #11097889, filed 2018-05, 138,000 miles“At approximately 45 miles an hour there is a grinding noise that sounds like the transmission. If I speed up it goes away. After drive for awhile the overdive light starts to blink. If I turn off the engine the light stops blinking. The car performs much better with the overdive off. Had the transmission rebuilt and it didn't solve the problem. The transmission shop says the problem is not in the transmissuon itself. Ford dealer recommended changing the trottle senson, $100 later that didn't work. Mechanics in town can't figure it out. …”
NHTSA complaint #11004328, filed 2017-07, 68,000 miles“My 2006 Ford Expedition was parked in my driveway at 7:00 am when I heard a crash. I looked out the window to see the back lift gate glass had exploded, all else in my neighborhood was quiet at that hour. As far as I can tell no impact from an external source, it was backed in close to a boat. I had driven the vehicle two days prior and had noticed no problem with the rear window. When I cleaned up the mess I found a good amount of the small glass pieces were inside the vehicle, the remainder were on the ground behind the vehicle within ten feet or so. …”
NHTSA complaint #10748723, filed 2015-08, 135,000 miles“'06 Expedition went into engine fail safe mode as my wife was attempting to make a left hand turn crossing 2 lanes of traffic at a busy intersection. After coasting into a parking lot, she turned it off and turned it back on. It started right up and she went on her way. Took it to a mechanic who said he could find nothing wrong. Upon further investigation, I have found 100's of '06 expeditions with the same problem and it seems to point to the throttle body. A recent AC repair to this car was almost $800.00 and now I am hearing to repair the throttle body is upward to $700-$800. …”
