EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH

FORD IS RECALLING 1,357 MY 2009 EXPEDITION AND NAVIGATOR VEHICLES FOR FAILING TO COMPLY WITH THE FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT." THE BRAKE STOP LAMP SWITCH MAY BE IMPROPERLY ADJUSTED. THIS MAY RESULT IN A DELAY IN BRAKE STOPLAMP ILLUMINATION WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. IN SITUATIONS OF VERY MILD BRAKE APPLICATION, THE BRAKE STOPLAMPS MAY NOT ILLUMINATE.

Campaign: 09V232000

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.

ENGINE

I THINK TOO MUCH EXHAUST GAS COMES INSIDE

SERVICE BRAKES

THE ABS LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE VEHICLE WOBBLES WHEN STOPPING. THE BRAKES LOOK FINE AND THE ROTORS APPEAR TO BE GOOD. *TR

STEERING,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN JERRY'S FORD IN ALEXANDRIA, VA FOR OVER 2 WEEKS THIS TIME. OVER A MONTH ALL TOGETHER OVER THE LAST 3 MONTHS. I CAN'T GET THEM TO GIVE ME A SIMILAR VEHICLE AS LOANER OR TELL ME WHEN MY CAR WILL BE FIXED. I CAN'T GET A MANAGER FROM FORD TO CALL ME BACK.

POWER TRAIN

WHILE IAM DRIVING MY 2009 EXPEDITION ON A HIGHWAY ITS GOING TO A LIMP MODE MEANS VECHLE AUTOMATICITY LOSE POWER AND GO DOWN TO 20 MILES PER HOUR. 18 WHEELER ALMOST REAR END ME OTHER DAY . THIS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. CALLED TOWN EAST FORD IN MESQUITE AND TALKED TO CHAT IN SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND HE SAID THERE IS NO RECALL. I FEEL LIKE THIS KNOWN ISSUE SHOULD BE ON A RECALL.

POWER TRAIN,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

REAR AND FRONT DIFFERENTIAL LEAKS CAUSED EXPENSIVE FIXES. FUEL ISSUE IS THAT THE SENSOR DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY IN VERY COLD WEATHER AND CONSTANTLY SHOWS ZERO MILES TO EMPTY ON INFORMATION PANEL. CAUSED US TO FUN OUT OF FUEL ON A FEW OCCASIONS. ON THE FUEL THIS HAPPENS IN MOTION, THE DIFFERENTIAL WAS CAUGHT ON A TUNE UP AND FIXED AT THAT TIME.

SUSPENSION

LOWER RETAINING BOLT BETWEEN STRUT AND WHEEL HUB HAS FAILED CAUSING HEAD OF BOLT TO SHEAR OFF (SEE PHOTOS) ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY. BOLT HEAD WAS FOUND LYING IN DRIVEWAY AND SHEARED BOLT WAS FOUND ON INSPECTION OF VEHICLE. VEHICLE MAY HAVE BEEN IN MOTION AT LOW SPEED OR STATIONARY AT TIME OF FAILURE. APPEARS TO BE MATERIAL FAILURE OF THE BOLT IN WHICH A CRACKED FORMED AND PROPAGATED ACROSS THE BOLT UNTIL THE IT COULD NO LONGER WITHSTAND SHEAR FORCES. AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE 3 OTHER RETAINING BOLTS ON THIS VEHICLE AT THE OTHER WHEELS.

STRUCTURE,ENGINE

TAMARA RECALL I WAS RECENTLY IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALED! I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 67 MPH AND HIT SOMETHING AT A DEAD STOP. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

AIR CONDITIONER AUTO CLIMATE CONTROL.FRONT BLOWER PERIODICALLY STOPS BLOWING.MAY NOT TURN ON WHEN VEHICLE STARTED OR STOP WHILE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING, NOTHING SPECIFIC TO RECREATE ISSUE.REAR BLOWER WORKS FINE.BEEN DIAGNOSED 3-4 TIMES WITH TWO DIFFERENT FORD REPAIR FACILITIES AND NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY ISSUE CAUSE.VEHICLE UNDER AN EXTENDED SERVICE PLAN THAT COVERS ALL AIR CONDITIONER AND HEATER PARTS.SOME PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED.VERY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE EACH TIME VEHICLE IS TURNED IN ITS A FEW DAYS FOR THEM TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC AND MONITOR AND RETURN WITH NO RESULTS.I HAVE CYCLED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON, SOMETIMES THIS WILL ENGAGE BLOWER. OTHER TIMES I WILL TURN OFF CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM AND IT WILL ENGAGE BLOWER.PLENTY OF TIMES NEITHER OPTION WORKS.I CHANGE ALL SETTINGS TO INCLUDE MANUALLY CHANGING THE BLOWER SPEED AND AIR TEMPERATURE WHICH DOES NOT TURN BLOWER ON.DOES NOT MATTER WETHER VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, SPEED, DAY OR NIGHT, HOT OR COLD, THERE IS NO SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCE THAT CAUSES BLOWER TO STOP WORKING.

STRUCTURE

PAINT NOT ADHERING TO REAR TAILGATE. DOOR APPEARS TO BE ALUMINUM AND NOT PREPARED PROPERLY. FAULTY WORKMANSHIP BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY. THERE NEEDS TO CLASS ACTION TAKEN AGAINST FORD.
