As i was slowing down and made a right turn into a parking space, the vehicle accelerated on its own, running over the concrete stop and the curve. The car continued to accelerate and ran head on into a tree that was approximately 10 feet away from the parking space. The driver airbag did not deploy. My car was totaled as a result of this accident. *tr

This could of ended very…

My customer called to inform me that he was smelling raw fuel inside the vehicle on april 13,2012. I told him it was probably a stuck injector. Being a ford senior master certified auto repair technician/ase master certified for ford dealerships for over 14 years i was aware of the injector concerns with these vehicles. I checked the engine oil to find that it was overfilled a quart and smelled of fuel. My diagnosis…

I was coming across arizona, interstate 10 in my 2006 expedition heading home to san diego when my "engine failsafe mode" indicator came on, the engine warning light was on and shut the engine down. The engine warning light never went off until i took it to a mechanic the following morning. The mechanic stated that i need to have the throttle cleaned out and may need a new sensor for the side of the throttle…

My wife was driving her 2006 ford expedition down a busy road at a speed of about 40 mph. She was driving with another friend and our 2 children (18 months and 1 week!) a wrench symbol warning light came on and the vehicle shut down. She put on her hazards and was able to safely come to a stop. She turned the ignition key to the off position and then was able to start the engine again. After talking to a mechanic…

Engine safe fail mode came on while driving my 2006 ford expedition which also lead to the vehicle shutting down in the middle of the highway. The next reading that was connected to this warning was...engine off...low fuel oil pressure. I checked under the hood of the vehicle to see if there was any oil leaks or if the reading was really low and all seen fine. This is a very scary incident because the vehicle just…

Engine shuts off while running. Last time on the freeway. My mechanic says the systems reads ok on computer diagnostic, but the fail-safe system definitely shut the engine down due to a possible glitch in the system. Dealers "see" good readings for throttle system and will not replace a "good" part. When this happens, car has no power with no warning. It has happened twice and we don't know when it will happen…

I have a 2006 ford expedition with approx. 42,000 miles. The incident that occurred with this vehicle, which is dangerous, is when the vehicle's engine failsafe mode engages. I was accelerating from a stop on a two lane road when the engine failsafe mode engaged. When this occurred, i lost throttle control, almost causing another vehicle to strike the rear of my vehicle. The second incident was on dec. 28, 2009. I…

Three separate times the car shut off in different types of "engine failsafe mode" within the past 7weeks. Engine failsafe mode causes the vehicle to lose all power. Last time this happened on the highway at 60 mph with two small children in the vehicle. Other two times it occurred when slowing down to turn. There is great potential for this to lead to a very dangerous situation. Owner's manual points to cruise…

This complaint is in reference to our 2006 ford expedition. This failure at this time seems to be occurring during normal vehicle operation, at random intervals. The failure is being reported by the obd to be "throttle body stuck wide open" which results in the vehicle entering failsafe mode, which appears to restrict the rpm's of the engine. Upon entering failsafe mode the vehicle tends to stall and subsequently…
