    Engine · Power Train

    Engine was losing power under load (only while accelerating). No check engine light ever came on. At 88,000 miles figured that not only will i replace all 8 spark plugs, but would replace all 8 coil packs as well. Upon removal on the spark plugs, 1 spark plug broke (so far) leaving the bottom piece inside the head. Ford knows about this problem, as it can lead many like myself with an outrageous expense to properly…

    This is the 1st complaint on this issue. While driving down the road, the engine fail safe mode engages, the engine loses power, for no apparent reason. You pull over if you can. Put the vehicle in park. Turn everything off. Shut off engine. Restart and if you are lucky, put it in drive and continue on. This is very dangerous, if someone is tailgating you and this happens, they could rear end your vehicle and people…

    Engine shut down at highway speed. Loss of power steering and power brakes. Was able to coast to emergency lane then restart car. Happened two additional times. Took to shop where the throttle body was replaced. No issues since then (~ 1 year ago). Sounds like manufacturer defect. This is a safety issue. *tr

    Engine

    My 2006 ford expedition has shut off multiple times since the summer of 2010. It was serviced in the summer of 2010 and ran fine for a while. In 2011, it started cutting off at random times. I could be at a stop light, intersection, driving, or turning the corner. I have had the vehicle tested about 3 times over the last year and no one can seem to figure out the problem. The scariest incident happened while i was…
