This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I have had a total of three bolts back out that secure the passenger side front brake assembly. This has occurred on two different occasions. One bolt on one occasion was subsequently replaced. The second occasion resulted in two bolts backing out and allowing the brake assembly to fall against the inside of the wheel. This resulted in the brake assembly binding against the wheel and fracturing the wheel. Once the wheel was cracked the tire whent flat instantly, thus ruining the tire as well. I had been traveling at 75 mph shortly before the failure occurred. Had I not heard the brake assembly scratching against the wheel and stopped, this could have resulted in a very serious accident. I feel like if it is happening to mine, it is probably happening with other Ford Expedition and trucks as well. If this is not corrected I believe fatalities may result. By the way, I'm out about $700 for towing, rental car, tire and wheel replacement.
Consumer states that the steering wheel vibrates when brakes are applied, the vehicle has been repaired several times, however the problem still exists.
Consumer has replaced rotors 7 times since purchase of vehicle, the dealer continues to evade the problem by replacing the rotors every 6 to 8 thousand miles. Severe vibration occurs when braking at speeds from 60 mph down to 50 mph. The dealer can not find a remedy for the problem. Consumer also states there is a problem with the suspension.
Hydraulic control unti has gone bad, causing the brake not to work properly. When the pedal is applied, it goes straight to the floor. To get an reaction from the brakes, they have to be pumped several times. Dealer has been contacted.
Truck was parked in 4-wheel drive and when the emergeny brake was let up the truck would not move. Then the brakes got ripped off the rear axle, and the brake fluid went all over the ground.
