Now it seems to be greater leaks into the car when it rains- leading to electrical issues such as dash lights go out, blower stays on, fuel gauge does not read right. Radio sometimes will not work right and the lights go out. Fuel tank: issues from day one - floats did not work right, now gauge does not read right,…

Engine · Unknown Or Other
The spark plug exploded from the cylinder head due to a mechanical defect in my cylinder head, and my expedition is the only vehicle i own which legally fits all of my children in their booster seats. The ford motor company won't fix the problem unless i pay them $750, which i don't have, and don't believe i should have to pay to fix their defect. *tr

My 2001 ford expedition has unwanted electrical activity when the car is unattended and has ran the battery out. It can cause a fire. I have been informed that it is a leaking windshield and is a common problem in this year of vehicle. The dealership says that the gem and fuse box were getting wet.

Underbody spare tire carrier/winch cable failed causing the spare to fall into the road. I believe that there is a small metal piece pressed onto the end of the cable which broke off. No accident or injury resulted but if the tire had fallen at highway speed it could have killed someone. *nm

Beginning about 8-12 month's ago, the right rear child safety lock frequently switches from the "unlocked" position to the "locked" position, approximately every 3rd-to-4th time the right rear door is shut. This malfuntion of a safety feature creates situations where the passenger is locked within the car and cannot let themselves out unless the door is openned from the outside.
