Takata recall i was driving down the interstate at 65 mph when my truck just cut off, had to have it towed in to the shop. Had fuel pump replace, 2 weeks later same problem.had to have it towed again fuse was replace. 3 weeks later i'm now having to have the fuse box replace. Ford motor company don't think this should be a recall issue. They just came out with the latest update fuse box in 2017.

Take a look: http://sparkys-answers.com/2011/03/2003-ford-expedition-no-run-no-fuel.html my father's car is registering a p0231 code. My mechanic was thinking it was the charging system. (no code was registered for a period of 2 months.) today, it pulled a p0231 code. Much to my surprise there seems to be factual things documented all over the internet. I am taking the car to cherokee auto tech. Vincent nguyen is a…

The engine stops running without warning. I was driving on the freeway at 70+ in heavy traffic. All of a sudden the engine shuts down. I put the vehicle in neutral and engaged the flashers. I tried to restart the vehicle while maneuvering to the side of the road avoiding multiple close calls. Once stopped, i put the vehicle in park and tried to restart. After a couple of minutes the car restarted. I took the vehicle…

The vehicle will randomly shut off at any speed, under any condition. Engine dies unexpectedly at highway speeds creating a panic to get out of the roadway. Power to steering and brakes are gone when the engine dies. Vehicle will restart after a couple minutes. The faulty part is the fuel pump relay. It is integral to the fuse box and cannot be changed without changing the entire fuse box. The fuse box is only…

Fuse relays keep burning out! I have brought over 10 relays in 2 weeeks. I have done my research and this is a common problem with all 2003 fords and is very exspensive to fix. I was shocked to find that it has not been recalled! There are videos on you tube to prove that all of these trucks have this problem. I was told i had to replace the entire fuse box but eventually i will have the same problem out of that…

Cars stalled while turning left against traffic. Would not start right away. Had to wait a few minutes trying to start it and finally it started and i could clear the intersection. Very dangerous and fortunate that oncoming traffic was able to stop. Have cleaned throttle body, aic but fuse on fuse box is melted causing intermittent operation. Started out once a month and now frequently to include this last one in…

Truck shut off at 60mph towing a camper because my fuel pump relay blew because of a defect in the fuse box!! Almost killed us........ Not happy at all. I've spoken to many mechanics and been on many forums and this seems to be a wide spread and dangerous issue ford should take care of. Spoke with the local ford parts department and they are aware of the issue. This is not a cheap part by any means, but on top of…

The truck just quits like running out of gas stall no steering now braking very unsafe it is because the fuel pump relay is built into the fuse junction box not serviceable and if you have a moon roof the drain runs down that side the water drips on fuse box shorts out the relay and off your truck goes they only did it 2 years and they obviously now about it and changed it and the new part different number

Was driving the 2003 expedition on interstate 10 near pensacola, when the vehicle shut off. The car coasted to a stop, luckily i did not cause a wreck and my family and i was safe. It has happened several times, at least 10 so far. We have replaced the fuel pump, fuel pump relay switch, the fuel filter, had the injectors inspected and it still does it. I did some research into the problem and it turns out the right…
