When driving on i-10 west at 65 mph my ford expedition shut down for no apparent reason. I was in the far left lane and don't like to park in the interior lanes so i placed my hazards on and drifted to the far right lane. It was hard to do because when my vehicle went dead the pwr steering and brakes became hard to use. Once i got to a safe area, i tried to start my vehicle again.....without success. I contacted my…

The engine would randomly shut off with no warning. Sometimes the engine would shut off while driving, other times would shut off at a stop light. The issue happened 10 times over a 3 day period. I was lucky to not crash as the engine died once while making a turn on a busy road. Once it died, so did the power steering and brakes - very scary. There were no engine codes that came up and no indication anything was…

1. Event: gasoline leaking onto pavement. 2. Ford dealer inspected and found a crack in the filler neck on top of the gasoline tank. I, nor a foreign object, have access to this area. Tank will leak gas onto pavement continuously until below crack level. If an igniter such as a cigarette or match or spark is near the flame, a fire will start on ground under the gas tank leading to the gas tank coated with gas…

I was driving on highway 12 west. As i turned onto a road, i noticed smoke coming from under my hood. My 8-year-old said, " what is that smell?" i told her that it is coming from under the hood of the vehicle. At this particular time, i turned the truck around and went to the nearest quick store. The man inside looked under my hood and used water to put on the "hood blanket". There was a hole in it above the brake…

My 2003 ford expedition is shutting off while i am driving, nearly causing me to lose control and be rear ended. It happens when i least expect it and the dealership is baffled. All their expensive diagnostic equipment can't even track down the issue. So far they have replaced some fuel parts and my fuse box but it still shuts down unexpectedly. I am $900. In the hole already, let alone i am going to have my first…
