NHTSA complaint #11269009 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

ENGINE

MY CAR AT TIMES WILL GIVE A HARD START. TURNING, BUT NOT FULLY TURNING OVER OR GIVES OFF A SOUND THAT I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS AN ELEPHANT TRUMPETING. WHEN IT DOES START AT TIMES IT WILL SHUT COMPLETELY OFF JUST AS FAST. IT HESITATES TO PICK UP ADEQUATE SPEED AND WILL STUMBLE OR JERK, AND WHEN PUT IN REVERSE IT WILL COMPLETELY STALL OUT. I'VE HAD A NEW BATTERY INSTALLED, AND THE SPARK PLUGS AND BOOTS HAVE BEEN CHANGED, BUT TO NO AVAIL.

THE CAR TURNS OFF. I NEED TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK WAIT A FEW MINUTES THEN TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND IT WORKS. THE BAD THING IS IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME.

NHTSA complaint #11203403 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

ENGINE

I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND MY CAR LITERALLY SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING.. I COASTED TO THE SIDE AND I TURNED OFF CAR.. TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON AND IT KEPT CRANKING AND I KEPT DOING IT LIKE 5 TIMES UNTIL IT STARTED BACK UP. SURE IT IS A 2005, BUT IT HAS BEEN GIVING ME PROBLEMS SINCE I GOT IT, NOW IT IS WORSE. I DON'T BELIEVE IT IS WEAR AND TEAR I ACTUALLY REPLACED THE WHOLE ENGINE 4 YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT MY CAR WHICH IS RIDICULOUS TO BEGIN WITH. IF MY CAR BURNS UP WHILE I AM DRIVING I WILL REALLY MAKE A STINK..

MY 15 YEAR OLD SON AND MY LIFE WERE PLACED IN SERIOUS DANGER, BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE AND DECEPTIVE BUSINESS PRACTICES PROMOTED BY THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY, REGARDING SCAN CODE P2106. SINCE AS EARLY AS FEBRUARY 26, 2013 FORD MOTOR COMPANY WAS MADE AWARE OF A DANGEROUS DEFECT CONCERNING THE MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OF THEIR MANUFACTURED PRODUCT RELEASED TO THE CONSUMER PUBLIC FOR PROFIT. THE VEHICLES ARE FORD TRUCKS, MANUFACTURED FROM 2003 - 2008, WITH THE V8 5.4 L ENGINE. PUBLIC RECORD REVEALS CASE NO. 12-7222, JASON SCHMIDT, (PLAINTIFF) VS. FORD MOTOR COMPANY, (DEFENDANT) FILED IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA, THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS MADE NO ATTEMPTS TO INFORM FORD DEALERSHIP OWNERS, THE FORD DEALERSHIP MANAGERS OR FORD SERVICE REPAIR SHOP MANAGERS AT THE FORD DEALERSHIPS AND CONSUMERS WHO HAD ALREADY PURCHASED THEIR MANUFACTURED PRODUCT OF THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS, I WAS TRAVELING 70 MPH, WITH MY SON IN THE TRUCK. FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS GONE ON RECORD, VIA TELEPHONE CONVERSATION, EXPLAINING TO ME THAT; "FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS NO CONTROL OVER HOW INDIVIDUAL DEALERSHIPS FUNCTION OR OPERATE THEIR ESTABLISHMENT PLACES OF BUSINESS, SORRY. BUT I CAN TAKE A COMPLAINT AND BE SURE THAT THE DEALERSHIP RECEIVES IT AND PROVIDE YOU WITH A COMPLAINT NUMBER". FLAMMER FORD, SPRING HILL, FL REPLACED A PART AND NEGLECTED TO TEST DRIVE THE TRUCK, RELEASED THE VEHICLE TO ME AND THE PART REPLACED WAS NOT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. I HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO AUTONATION FORD IN BROOKSVILLE, FL FOR THE SAME ISSUE (P2106 CODE), THEY DID THE SAME THING, WITHOUT REPLACING A THING. ONLY THIS TIME, WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, MY TRUCK AND THE LOST ALL POWER. MY TRUCK IS BACK AT AUTONATION FORD IN NEED OF A NEW TRANSMISSION.

NHTSA complaint #10730287 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

ENGINE

SINCE PURCHASING THE EXPEDITION IN DECEMBER 2014, I'VE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS OF "CHECK ENGINE THROTTLE" WARNINGS AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, SUDDENLY. THIS SEEMS TO ALSO HAVE A SECONDARY ISSUE OF THE TRUCK HESITATING/SPUTTERING AROUND 40-50MPH. THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN ON ME IN CITY TRAFFIC QUITE A FEW TIMES AND ONCE ON AN EXIT RAMP OF THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO EXPERIENCE. THE DEALER MENTIONED POSSIBLE SPARK PLUG ISSUES. WHEN THE "CHECK ENGINE" ICON FINALLY CAME ON, I HAD IT READ BY THE DEALER AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE CODE IS A P2104. THE DEALER NEVER GOT BACK TO ME ON A REMEDY FOR THIS. THE MECHANIC SAYS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL MUST BE REPLACED AND COULD BE THE CAUSE OF BOTH ISSUES. BOTH HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALER BEFORE THEIR WARRANTY EXPIRED. I'M FINDING THE REPAIR COULD COST ABOUT $700. AN ISSUE OF THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF, REGARDLESS OF SPEED, WHILE DRIVING IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE TRUCK MUST BE PLACED IN PARK, TURNED OFF, THE RE-STARTED BEFORE CONTINUING MY DRIVE. THE SCARIEST WAS UPON AN EXIT RAMP OF THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH.

ENGINE

THIS IS THE 4TH TIME IN 5 WEEKS THAT MY CAR HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND IT SAYS "ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE". IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AFTER THE FIRST 3 INCIDENTS AND DIFFERENT THINGS HAVE BEEN DONE TO IT. I JUST GOT IT OUT OF THE SHOP AND IT HAPPENED THE 4TH TIME. SO IT'S GOING BACK TO SHOP. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE, AND HAVE NOT BEEN IN A ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF IT SHUTTING DOWN. LOOKING ONLINE IT'S AMAZING HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE. WHY HAS FORD OR NHTSA NOT DONE SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? WILL IT TAKE SOMEONE GETTING KILLED BEFORE THEY TAKE ACTION?

NHTSA complaint #10681465 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

ENGINE

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A HEAVY VIBRATION FROM THE MOTOR AND THE SMELL OF RAW FUEL WAS PRESENT. AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE FORD DEALER AND THE DEALER STATED THAT A FUEL INJECTOR BECAME STUCK OPEN. THE INJECTOR FILLED THE CYLINDER WITH FUEL AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO BLOW UP (SEVERE DAMAGE). IT WAS FOUND THAT THIS OCCURRED ON FORD EXPEDITIONS NUMEROUS TIMES AND FORD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 11 YEARS, 120,000 MILES AND MY SCARY EXPERIENCE OCCURRED AT 129,000. I PREVIOUSLY REPLACED THE MOTOR AT MY OWN EXPENSE 2 YEARS PRIOR AND FORD DID NOT REPLACE THE INJECTORS OR NOTIFY ME OF AN INJECTOR ISSUE. FORD IS STATING THAT THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY AND THE ENGINE DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BY THE INJECTOR THAT WAS NOT REPLACED. IT WAS FOUND THAT FORD WAS AWARE OF THE INJECTOR ISSUE SINCE 2007. I'M NOT SURE THESE ISSUE ARE GETTING REPORTED.

VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. VEHICLE TURNS OFF WHEN SITTING IDLE. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT, BUT AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP AND PAYING A LARGE BILL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND STILL CUTS OFF WHEN JUST SITTING IDLE IN "DRIVE". SCARED THAT THIS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF SOMEONE BEHINDS ME DOESN'T REALIZE THAT MY VEHICLE CUTS OFF.
