“While driving on the interstate or fwy at about 55-60 MPH - I start to increase in speed, while going with the flow of traffic my Expedition eddie bauer model spurts/hesitates/loses power but never cuts off every time before the speed increases. We took it to the Ford dealer several times an they are unable to determine what is wrong with the vehicle. The Ford dealer told us they can't do not about it until the engine light comes on. …”
NHTSA complaint #10522630, filed 2013-07, 85,000 miles“I purchased a 2007 Ford Expedition with a 5.4 triton engine in february 2008 that was still under warranty. The car started here lately to misfire and jump and stall. I purchased spark plugs as I do with all my vehicles. Upon removal of the original plugs they break off in the motor or the head which then cost lots more money to replace. Upon speaking to and researching on the internet this plug design is a flaw with all the engines that Ford has designed. Every person who has had to replace these plugs has encountered this awful and costly flaw which Ford should be accountable for. …”
NHTSA complaint #10347923, filed 2010-08, 93,000 miles“The 5.4l engine has a tapping noise coming from the top half of the motor on the passenger side. It occurs when the engine is idling at a stand still. It happens randomly. Have been speaking with Ford warranty and dealers trying to get fixed and because it is intermittent they do not want to work on. We have taken to 2 dealers a total of 3 times and spoken with Ford warranty and they refuse to pay to have the motor opened up and looked at.”
NHTSA complaint #10379730, filed 2011-01, 45,000 miles“Dealer wants $800 to change spark plugs as they will break off in engine. Because a dis similar metal was used. Exhaust manifold bolts break and cause loud exhaust leak at the rear of the exhaust manifold dealer wants $850 to fix.”
NHTSA complaint #10452155, filed 2012-03, 72,000 miles“The vehicle began to idle real rough to the point of bouncing in an uncontrolled manner. A knocking noise started coming from the engine. When you tried to increase speed two cylinders missed. When the vehicle was manufactured incorrectly, it caused the oil to be distributed unevenly through the engine and the engine to heat unevenly. This starvation of oil over time to the engine allowed for metal to shred and contaminate the engine and the engine has to be replaced in a 5 year old car. If the engine is not replaced the conditions would continue to intensify and the outcome is unknown. …”
