    Stopped at a traffic light intersection to make a right turn. While i was making the right turn about 5 mph, the 2005 ford expedition stalled and all the lights went on. I waited for about 10 seconds to turn on the car. The car started. I stopped 5 minutes later to stop the engine to see if everything was ok. It took two tries to start the engine. I took it to a ford dealer the next day to get it inspected. They…

We were on the interstate driving about 70 mph when the car just stopped and the check engine light came on. We called ford and they said to let it sit for 30 minutes and then try to start the car again. We did and it worked. The…

    I have a 2006 ford expedition and my wife almost lost control and hit a car when the brakes went to the floor. The vehicle has had "spongy brakes" since i bought it and had it to the dealer twice. There is a tsb to replace the front caliper/rotor and pads and ford did this but it still feels spongy and is now leaking fluid. This has been an issue on many expeditions and should have been a recall rather than a tsb.…

    I had purchased a 2007 ford expedition with heavy duty trailer tow the class iv and the vehicle did not come with trailer tow mirrors. I had just purchased a trailer and have blind spots and am trying to find mirrors but there are none for me to use. I try asking ford if i could use the ones from and f-150 but they cannot guarantee anything because it is not on the accessory list. I think this is a big safety risk…
