The vehicle shuts off while driving (at any speed) and often without warning. In addition, the vehicle may also not start at all then start without explanation. The most common recommendation is to replace the fuel relay. To do so, you must replace the smart junction box/fuel relay panel. This appears to be a common problem with numerous mentions and is often difficult to diagnose and commonly becomes a process of…

Fuel/Propulsion System
Multiple and intermittent engine stoppage. The engine stalls suddenly while driving in traffic causing hazard to self and others. Sudden loss of power steering makes control of vehicle difficult as power steering is non functional as you attempt to pull to the side of a busy road. Braking systems also are mostly non functional without the vacuum created by the running engine making it very difficult to stop quickly.…

My vehicle, without any warning at any speed, including highway speeds, shuts off completely,without any warning or indication that it is about to do this. Always on a straight road with almost a full tank of gas. The cause a relay switch which is soldiered into the memory board that controls the vehicle's brain box that shorts out. After doing research on the internet, i am both shocked and disgusted that the nhsta…

Also like many other complaints i have seen, the 2004 ford expedition i have has shut off on me several times while driving and i was told to switch out the entire fuse box. I called the dealer and they said to replace it, it would be about $500 for it. It's ridiculous ford hasn't issued a recall because this seems like a problem many people are having as well. We have almost gotten into a couple of accidents…

While driving in the city on local streets, the engine just stops with no ability to drive. I am an instant safety problem on the road. This happened 3 times in one day. Fortunately, no one was injured. After a few minutes, the car starts up again. My mechanic can't duplicate the problem. Anyone help before there is a major life-threatening accident!! Thanks!

Our 2004 ford expedition eddie bauer suddenly turns off while we are driving at any speed. In a year's time, it has turned off four or more times. Most of those times, we were traveling at speeds of about 60mph. All of the power shuts off, steering and brakes included. We turn the key off and it does restart. Luckily we have not been in any terrible accidents!

The vehicle has been shutting down randomly (highway, streets, stops, etc) and it is very much a safety situation at high speed on the freeway since the steering wheel locks up and brakes do not work. I've taken it to two different places for diagnosis including the local ford dealership and they have not been able to diagnose the problem. It is understood the vehicle is 10-11 years old but the inability for the…

4 separate times my 2004 expedition has died while running down the road, one time it died in a very dangerous spot (blind s-curve with no shoulder). It always seems to restart after it has cooled down after a while. This last time we tried multiple things to get it running because it was stuck at a busy intersection and it was over 100 degrees outside, but nothing we did helped. I ended up getting it towed to a…

Was driving when brakes went completely out when i went to stop at a stop sign. . Cause due to rust corrosion . Brakes giving out could have caused a fatal car accident . Rust has damaged all brake lines and fuel lines . Rust is now moving up the vehicle. Brake lines and fuel lines should have a protected coating or made with a non corrosion metal. I had no idea that my brake line was rusted out till my brakes gave…
