    Compressor failed and sent metal shavings throughout entire system. This requires replacement of compressor, receiver dryer, and expansion modules. These parts are on a national back order from form, which indicates this is a massive problem with the vehicle. *tr

    On may first of 2014 my check engine light and oil light came on. I assumed i needed oil, so i went to the advanced auto store and purchased some oil. I put the oil in and began to proceed home. I was driving and the oil light was showing as hot. The car would not give enough power for me to drive, it began to shake. The car is not drivable anymore. It is still doing the same thing. After some research i discovered…

    I was driving my 2005 ford expedition eddie bauer edition when i started to make a turn. Suddenly the vehicle stopped moving and an indicator light stating "engine fail safe mode" came on. 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…

    I was stopped at a red light, and all of a sudden i heard this loud crash and bang, and was jerked forward. Thought the pick up truck behind me rear-ended me. That driver pulled up aside of me and told me you just dropped your driveshaft. Since it was dark and my vehicle was in the middle of the road at an intersection i called the police. When they arrived they told me we can't wait for your tow truck driver to get…

    I believe that ford expeditions from years 2003 - 2006 have a serious defect. I am experiencing radiator support mount rot. My mechanic says this should not be occurring on a vehicle that is only 6 years old. I have done some research and have read on the ford expedition forum that many expedition drivers are now finding this to be the case with their vehicles as well. I seriously believe a recall should be in place…
