The vehicle exploded in our driveway. It had not been driven or turned on in almost 2 weeks. It was locked. This caught one other car on fire and to exploded and another to get body melt down on one side.
My 2006 Ford Expedition shut off without any warnings in the midst of me driving the truck everything shuts down it's hard for me to steer my vehicle and the brakes locks up this was so scary driving the expressway and trying to maneuver a stalled vehicle
The transmissions overdrive (84,000 ) stop working efficiently without any signal of problem. When in motion reaching 35 miles/hour the transmission stops.
At approximately 45 miles an hour there is a grinding noise that sounds like the transmission. If I speed up it goes away. After drive for awhile the overdive light starts to blink. If I turn off the engine the light stops blinking. The car performs much better with the overdive off. Had the transmission rebuilt and it didn't solve the problem. The transmission shop says the problem is not in the transmissuon itself. Ford dealer recommended changing the trottle senson, $100 later that didn't work. Mechanics in town can't figure it out. It sounds like 2 gears trying to engage, thus the grinding noise. When I drive with the overdrive off it happens at a higher speed. Always happens when drivi G up a long incline. Going crazy with this problem.
I have a 2006 Ford Expedition eddie bauer 4X2 and my problem started after I purchased the vehicle in 2010. In 2011 I was in tampa, fl after gassing up I went to put the vehicle in gear and the gear shift lever broke off the vehicle had to be towed to sarasota Ford in sarasota, fl where I live. That's the first time now the second time I was leaving for work at 4:30 am in November or December of 2014 I was in my driveway and went to put the vehicle in gear when the gear shift lever broke off. The third event happened on Friday July 8, 2016 at 4: 28 am in my driveway I was leaving for work as I went to put the vehicle in gear the gear shift lever broke off. I have had to miss two days of work by using pto/paid time off which is my vacation time due to the gear shift lever continually breaking off. Sarasota Ford told me that the shift lever has been discontinued so they had to locate a used part for the last repair. I have filed two complaints with Ford Motor Company to which they will not disclose any findings or other related complaints only that there are no recalls. I have had sarasota Ford charge me for a new part then take some money off after I found out it was a used part to which they never notified or asked me if it was ok to put used parts on my vehicle. The sales manager bill godfrey lied to me when I asked for copies of my prior invoices in reference to this ongoing issue. He stated that the records were not on site when in fact they were as I believe one of the file clerks actually told us these records where on site in a office and she supplied us with the documents.

Have had an A/C problems of the compressor going out 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2016. A/C makes a noise in the back end on passenger side. Then it blows warm air. Only twice did it leak condensation on the floor boards. Have only had 2 of the compressor repairs under warranty and the rest have been out of pocket at $800-$1200. I have called Ford customer relations; no help. No recalls and no tsb's. the vehicle has been repaired by a Ford dealer service dept. For all A/C repairs. What is the problems?
My 2006 Ford Expedition was parked in my driveway at 7:00 am when I heard a crash. I looked out the window to see the back lift gate glass had exploded, all else in my neighborhood was quiet at that hour. As far as I can tell no impact from an external source, it was backed in close to a boat. I had driven the vehicle two days prior and had noticed no problem with the rear window. When I cleaned up the mess I found a good amount of the small glass pieces were inside the vehicle, the remainder were on the ground behind the vehicle within ten feet or so. The largest pieces of glass were smaller than my palm.
False activation of "engine failure mode" system. Engine went to idle speed, all gauges read normally and no warning lights came on. Engine temperature was in normal range. "engine failure mode" message was displayed on message panel. I was able to safely coast off the road and stop the vehicle. I turned the ignition off, and observed that the engine coolant level in the coolant tank was normal. I then restarted the engine, and vehicle then operated normally.
'06 Expedition went into engine fail safe mode as my wife was attempting to make a left hand turn crossing 2 lanes of traffic at a busy intersection. After coasting into a parking lot, she turned it off and turned it back on. It started right up and she went on her way. Took it to a mechanic who said he could find nothing wrong. Upon further investigation, I have found 100's of '06 Expedition with the same problem and it seems to point to the throttle body. A recent ac repair to this car was almost $800 and now I am hearing to repair the throttle body is upward to $700-$800. $1500 of repairs on a car with only 45,000 miles is unacceptable. The throttle body problem is very dangerous and Ford should recall these cars and find out why this is happening before someone gets hurt or even worse, killed.
2006 Ford Expedition, "engine fail safe mode" car has shut off while driving 5 times in the last 6 months. The only way to get the car moving is to start it again. Extremely unsafe. This vehicle was covered under an extended warranty and has gone in for service to correct the problem. Ford cannot identify the problem! comes up with "no code". I'm now off warranty and stuck with a very unsafe vehicle! Ford needs to address this problem immediately!
The contact owns a 2006 Ford Expedition. On four separate occasions, while driving with the accelerator pedal depressed, the vehicle shut off. A wrench symbol appeared on the instrument panel and the vehicle had to be restarted. The dealer could not duplicate or determine the cause of the failure. The speed was unknown. The current mileage was 64,749 and failure mileage was 63,000.
On a 2006 Expedition, upon start up (not every time) there is a noise that I describe as windshield wipers dragging across a dry window or a winding sound that also sounds like the motor of the windshield wipers. It seems to make this noise after the vehicle has sat for a period of time, usually after a day at work. But it has made this noise first thing in the morning after sitting all night. It has never done it on a second immediate start up. Ford has replaced the starter, no help. Ford has replaced the spark plugs (this was a 2005 recall I was told), no help and they have replaced the oil filter, again no help. Unfortunately no-one at Ford has heard this noise, but one tech seemed to know about it from another customer with the same issue. I have made suggestions to the Ford tech's so that they could experience this same event (that went on deaf ears), they have lots of thoughts that it could be the blender (sp) and that I should not turn the A/C on upon start up. I tried that as well, I will try any suggestion they put out, but still the same noise. They have thoughts about the cam, and they stood there and agreed that the oil filter change would not fix the problem. But what the heck try it. Ford has stated that they can not keep the vehicle to try and find out what is wrong. I am very concerned that this is going to become something bigger and far worse. I fear of a fire in the vehicle. Since Ford does not want to take the time to try and isolate the problem I suggested they put in writing an extended warranty on this vehicle.
The vehicle (2006 Ford Expedition - eddie bauer) has had for the last 8 months of purchasing it, grinding noise to the start when it does start and this happens about 4-5 times a week, driver side window rattles and screeches when rolled up and down, the back seats rattle, the back glass leaks. The vehicle has been taken to the shop a total of 5 times and was worked on the second time and after that they can't duplicate the problem any more but the problem is still there. They don't, won't or want to work on it anymore. We want a replacement or re-purchase of the vehicle.
