Was driving and experienced complete brake failure, no warning, went to stop and had no brakes what so ever! The brake line going to the passenger side front caliper had completely rusted away under the middle of the vehicle between the passenger side front tire and the abs distribution box. I was always told that the brake systems were designed with a tandem master cylinder so that if an event like this happened…

While driving on the highway the car completely shut down. All lights on dash lit up, radio went off. Seconds later the car restated itself and the radio went back on. This happened twice on 10/20/2014 and once about two weeks before that.. No warning lights come on, no bumps the road was smooth, no rain puddles. It just dies and restarts itself each time. For about 6 months now the car dies completely when i am…

I have a 2005 ford expedition with adjustable height of the brake peddle. The adjustment does not work and the height of the brake peddle is at a height that when the brake is depressed it is also possible that the accelerator is also depressed causing unexpected acceleration. I have contacted my local dealer and www.ford.com about this safety issue and both have told me that there is no recall and that they will…

I have talked to a few other owners of ford expeditions (later models 2004-2008) and there is a definite issue with rust and other components rusting out. It seems to be a serious issue with rust esp when the brake lines are basically all rusted out in the front of the vehicle. Also the cross member frame underneath has a lot more than acceptable amount of rust, never seen this much even with a truck i have now a…

I was driving with 4 kids in the car, when all the sudden my car turned off, all the lights came on the dash. Luckily i was able to move over to a parking lot. I turned the car off, turned back on, nothing. Tried again and it worked. I was able to drive 50 miles home and as i was turning in my driveway it happened again. *tr

While driving at 40 mph engine stopped working making brakes and steering fail. Limped off busy road luckily! Engine light showed electronic throttle failure. Now check engine light is on. Going to dealers for repair today-since this is an obvious problem for ford why haven't they addressed it! Could be deadly if fails in heavy traffic conditions. *tr

Driving the vehicle and i attempted to stop and the brake pedal went to the floor, even after pumping the brakes. Soon afterward the low fluid light went on. I had the vehicle taken to my licensed mechanic who diagnosed the problem as a rusted through brake line. Several other locations were heavily rusted and leaking as well. I was very fortunate not to hit anyone, especially since i had 5 children in the vehicle…
