When owners complained

A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single owner can see from inside their own car.

Recalls on the 2009 Ford Expedition

A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous enough to fix for free — however old the car is.

Canada — Transport Canada

Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not always mirror the American ones.

Recall 2009196 89 units in Canada

Lights And Instruments

On certain vehicles, the brake lamp switch may have been incorrectly installed during vehicle assembly. This may cause a delay in brake stop lamp illumination when the brake pedal is depressed. In situations of light brake pedal application, the stop lamps may not illuminate. Failure of the brake lamps to illuminate when the brakes are applied may result in the following road users being unaware of the driver's intentions, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury or death. Correction: Dealers will remove the brake lamp switch and re-install it correctly.

Recalls cover specific build ranges, so check your own vehicle by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or, in Canada, Transport Canada.

Montgomery, TX

POWER TRAIN

The drive shaft is bad. My expedition is shaking very bad at high speeds it shakes the rear view mirror. I took it back to the dealership where I got it from 3 months after I got it because they thought it was the shocks. They replaced both rear shocks. Contol arms, body mounts. Got all brand new tires which have been balanced and rotated and the vehicle is still shaking at 60 + mpr. A while back in kept hearing a bird chirping noise but later found it that's due to drive shaft. Also of clunking going on under truck.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, MY WIFE'S EXPEDITION MADE A LOUD NOISE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. A FEW HUNDRED FEET LATER, IT MADE THE SAME NOISE, LOOSING POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES, CAUSING HER TO HAVE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH MINIMAL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP, WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE FUEL PUMP PURGE VALVE HAD STUCK CLOSED, CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO SUCK ALL OF THE AIR OUT OF THE GAS TANK AND LITERALLY IMPLODE THE GAS TANK AND DESTROY THE FUEL PUMP ITSELF. A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET (YOUTUBE.COM IN PARTICULAR) SHOWS THAT MANY FORD MODELS 2009 AND NEWER ARE HAVING THIS SAME TROUBLE WITH THEIR NEWER STYLE VALVE. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY, DESPITE IT BEING AN EMISSIONS COMPONENT, AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE $2600 TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF A FORD FACTORY PART THAT CAUSED THE REST OF THE DAMAGE AND LEFT A MOVING VEHICLE WITH NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES - NOT TO MENTION THAT A DAMAGED GAS TANK COULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL FIRE HAZARD.
