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.
While driving approximately 20 mph on a rural road the spare tire fell out from under the vehicle, onto the road. I discovered the cable that holds the spare tire in place under the vehicle had broken.
I own a 1994 Ford Expedition Triton 5.4L V8 that has now blown 4 spark plugs causes the coils and spark plugs to eject from the motor. The most recent on Sept 17,2009. This has occurred in the time period of 3 years. Luckily unlike some people this has not resulted in a fire of our vehicle.
The contact owns a 1999 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked for one hour and caught fire. The fire department extinguished the fire and the vehicle was completely destroyed. There was no mention of a fire report being filed. The cause of the failure was unknown. The vehicle identification number was unavailable. The failure and current mileages were unknown.
99 Ford Expedition blew out #3 spark plug and damaged coil, no forewarning of this, has 114,000miles, cost me $400 for a temp fix, ,was told this is a common problem with the 5.4 engine, garage installed a repair sleeve and special plug, ,no warranty, ,I was 800 miles from home, when the plug blew, I thought somebody took a shot at me...it also ruined the coil.
Many Ford trucks have a "water intrusion" problem leading to serious safety issues. Some of their windshields are not sealed properly -in a hard rain water leaks into the fuse box causing an electrical burning, causing the vehicle to stop running instantly! Ford is aware of this and is failing to address it.
I have a 1999 Ford Expedition. The cable holding the spare tire under the car broke as I was driving down the road. The tire fell onto the road as well as the piece of metal that holds the tire in place. Luckily I was driving about 25 mph. No other damage occurred to my car or any others. It was the original spare tire, I lower and raise it once in a while to check the tire pressure.
1999 Ford Expedition collided head-on with another vehicle. Both were travelling at highway speeds. The Expedition immediately caught fire, including the passenger compartment.the fire wall failed and fuel apparently fed the fire.
An igloo cooler was plugged into the cigarette lighter. The fuse to the igloo cooler blew and melted through, blowing out all of the related fuses. (this was not the fault of the vehicle) unable to see the year of this vehicle.
The blend door which regulated the hot and cold air passage was defective. When the heat was on, cold air blew out and the consumer had to turn the heater on and off. When the consumer pressed the gas, the blend door shut and heat blew out.
There is a right side cylinder head oil leak caused by small metal chips left between the head and block during manufacture.Ford knows about the problem, says it happened to 1 in 10 1999 Ford Expedition, and other models.they have dismissed my complaint and offer no financial asisstance.repair costs 5000 dollars
I was slowly backing into a parking space behind the office building that I work at going approximately 4 to 5 mph (just crawling). I have been backing into the same area for over 15 years. As I lightly stepped on the gas pedal, vehicle lurched backwards hitting the building squarely causing extensive damage as it was a powerful hit. This had happened two other times when the car was driven by my husband and parents. Those two separate incidents had occurred in other areas where there was ample room to react.
Engine check light has been on for several months. When I contacted bird-kulgen Ford, wes told me it was an emmission problem and a computer check would need to be done. It was and the computer could not find the problem... now they are in trial and error and labor intensive time...just began today but others may be having the same problem, so I wrote to you.
Engine suddenly running very rough and engine check light on. Dealer investigation showed coolant leak on coil pack 4. coil pack removed and replaced and hose clamp tightened. Repair was not done as a defect although many other vehicles have had the same problem.
Driven for 20 minutes and let sit 20 minutes, and it hesitated and ran roughly until cooldown 3 to 4 hours, runs better. Why is this happening? everytime I drive and let it sit for 20 minutes it runs like this. Also, engine check light goes on and off.
The paint on my 1999 white Ford Expedition has orange, brown dots that become bumpy. I cannot remove them with compound polish. No safety defect listed within summary.
Vehicle begins to vibrate at 73-75 mph. Problem cannot be exactly located or corrected by dealer or manufacturer. Dealer installed a vibration dampener. Actual source/reason for problem was never found.
This is a replacement vehicle from Ford for my 1999 Ford Expedition. The replacement vehicle has many of the same problems. The stalling when accelerating in an intersection is a serious safety problem. We we're nearly T- boned. Ford sometimes admits that they are aware of the problems and then at times will deny them. Please investigate
