Driving up a small incline and the vehicle lost power. I had electrical power just no fuel getting to the engine. I was able to pull off to the side of the road. The fuel tank was just below a 1/4 tank. Add a gallon of gas and tried to restart the car. It would not restart. Called for the tow truck to take to the garage. The garage had to drop the fuel tank and told me the fuel pump control module was bad. They…

While driving home down a slight decline, i heard a beep and the message on the dash read (check electronic throttle control) which i then mentally added to my list of things to do. Not until a needed to start accelerating again did i realize that my throttle was completely inoperable. Luckily, a word used frequently by other owners to describe this same issue, i was able to coast to a stop while other vehicles went…

During the turn, a vehicle was coming toward me and i barely had enough time to get my vehicle out of the lane before i got hit. I had to stop my vehicle, put it in park (while sitting on the roadway), shut it off, and restart it…

2005 ford expedition has experienced approximately 5 episodes where it has stalled with no notice or prior indication of a problem. The problem started around 50k miles and happened most recently as about 120k miles. On at least 2 occasions the center dash indicated engine failsafe mode. Each time, the truck could be immediately restarted and would operate normally. The only common circumstance is that the truck was…

Vehicle has been stalling for almost a year. Vehicle shut off on busy highway and towed to nearby repair shop. Mechanic found fuel pump control module completely corroded from behind and circuit board exposed to moisture. The fpcm fried and shorted out one leg of the fuel pump. Both pieces had to be replaced. New fpcm installed was obviously redesigned so module would not suffer this flaw again. I am finding an…

My 2005 ford expedition has been experiencing intermittent problems and the only message you receive is "check electronic fuel throttle." traveling at any speed the car loses power in the sense like it has been shifted into neutral. When this occurs you can step on the gas pedal but its like it isn't acknowledged. You shut the car off wait a few minutes and restart it and everything is fine. You may go days or it…

I own a 2005 ford expedition. This year model expedition has a known throttle control issue that causes the vehicle's engine to default to "failsafe mode," which is a reduced power mode. This is a very significant safety issue because "failsafe mode" can be activated anywhere at any time without warning. Imagine the implications of suddenly losing most of your engine's power at interstate or highway speeds. Now,…

Driving at 50mph in 2005 ford expedition lmtd. When lost all throttle control and had to try and get to the side of the road safely. "check throttle control" warning came on during incident. This was the first time at 108,500 miles. It seems this is happening a lot on this vehicle model. Not a very safe defect from ford. Ford needs to think of their consumer safety and recall and correct this issue. Meanwhile my…

2005 ford expedition 78,000 miles. In the last few months the car at times has felt as though there is little to no acceleration, almost like the car is in neutral. Today my car stalled and i was able to drift to the side of the road. The "check electronic throttle" light came on. The car is at the dealer now, with a $600+ repair bill. Seems there should be a check for such systems. What would have happened had i…
