“We purchased this 2008 Expedition last fall with the intension of towing a trailer across country because they came with high reviews and comfort. We first noticed the drifting when we picked up the trailer. The trailer fully loaded is about 6,200 pounds. We have a stabilizer hitch that we used to tow with. We took the SUV into a dealer to have it checked out. A mechanic suggested that they check the camber's. The dealer said all was fine. We took it on a 7,000 mile trip towing the trailer and immediately discovered that the towing ability was dangerous. …”
