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.
Clutch failed, causing the tires to produce a grinding noise when turning. This problem was noticed, by me, while still under warranty, but I thought it was just systematic of the vehicle until passengers noticed and eventually it got so bad that it felt like a very unsafe and serious problem. Dealer is charging $1600 half of which is parts. Next week when I get the vehicle back, will determine if I am keeping the car or have lost confidence in the safety or future problems.
-the contact stated that while researching the service bulletin on the NHTSA website, he noticed that there was a bulletin on the 2003 Ford Expedition. The contact owns a 2003 Ford Expedition with the current mileage of 40,000. The contact stated while driving 45 mph the vehicle had a vibration of the clutch slip differential.
I kept feeling a "slipping feeling" in the rear of my 2003 Ford Expedition. Like a gear and notches of the gear were not lining up properly to inter-lock and turn. It would feel like a jumping, slipping. I took it local dealership, they replaced the rear clutches. Since that time, it has been in two different dealerships in less than a year and the rear clutches have been replaced five times and now I am about to take in for number six.
