My lower rear control arms that attach to the rear axle frame rusted and failed on both sides, causing me to lose control of vehicle. No injuries. It was a catastrophic failure. My neighbors 97 Expedition had the same problem 2 months earlier. His friends 98 Expedition also had this problem, resulting in damage to his vehicle. Junk yards and Ford dealership said this is a very common problem, but no recall as of yet.

While driving my vehicle there is a vibration in the rear end with a loud bumping noise. Much like a 4X4 in a hard turn. The dealer has repaired the problem four other times and this will be the fifth. I am worried that this could be a safety issue with something happening to the axle while driving. The vehicle only has 56K miles on it. The vehicle also lurches forward on start up.

1) upon accelerating from a stop, the transmission/transfer case seems to slip and shudder as if the tires are not grabbing the road. This is at all speeds, whether slow or quick starts. Also, during high speed acceleration such as when passing on the highway, there is a low pitch growling sound and vibration as if the engine mounts are broken. 2) the front intermittent wipers turn on by themself occasionally, usually just for one sweep then turn back off. 3) the rear automatic load leveling air shocks on one occasion deflated totally after being parked for about 4 hours. The truck chassis was nearly touching the rear tires, I was unable to drive away until they reinflated after starting the vehicle.
