After searching online I share in the suffering in a major problem with the 2006 Expedition. Bought the vehicle in 2009 and since then the car has shut off in the middle of driving at least 25 times. "engine failsafe mode" appears in the dash. Most of the time we are able to throw it in neutral and crank it back up but there has been a couple times where engine would not turn over. This has been very scary due to the fact it has happened to my wife who was on the interstate once and turning left and almost t-boned with kids in the car. Unbelievable how Ford won't step up and recall the vehicles with such a major problem. Maintenance issue? Yeah right. A lot of mechanics are saying it's a throttle body issue, it either needs to be cleaned real good or replaced and it can cost anywhere from $200-$700. WTF.
