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.
The contact owns a 2007 Ford Expedition. While reversing out of the driveway, the brakes and both front wheels seized and would not turn. As a result, the vehicle remained stuck in the middle of the street. The contact shut off the engine and removed the keys from the ignition. The vehicle was restarted and the gear was placed in neutral. The contact's husband had to pull the vehicle back into the driveway via a rope. The contact sprayed the wheels with a type of seizure unlock spray and the vehicle was able to be driven a day later. In addition, the ABS warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic where it was diagnosed that the brake calipers seized. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer and dealer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 151,000.
