Owner-reported complaints naming the other system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Other / unspecified reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

SINCE PURCHASE I HAVE TRAVELED 80000 MILES AND HAVE REPLACED THE ROTORS 3 TIMES AND THE PADS 4 TIMES ON THE FRONT. THE MOST CURRENT TIME THE VEHICLE SHAKES SO BAD WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKE THAT I HAVE TO ALTER MY DRIVING WHILE STOPPING TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH OTHER VEHICLES. I HAVE PURCHASED THE HIGH HEAT ROTORS AND CERAMIC PADS TO HAVE THE BEST POSSIBLE PARTS ON THE VEHICLE AND IT STILL EATS THEM UP TOO OFTEN. *JB

THIS IS THE SECOND SPARK PLUG IN LESS THAN 4 MONTHS THAT HAS BLOWN OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD OUT OF OUR 2001FORD EXPEDITION. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM AS IT IS OCCURRING TO MANY PEOPLE. IT IS DEFINITELY A FLAW IN DESIGN AND IS COSTING PEOPLE TOO MUCH MONEY TO CONTINUE TO FIX. FORD HAS BEEN NO HELP. AS THE LAST TIME, WHILE DRIVING THE SPARK PLUG JUST BLOWS THROUGH THE CYLINDER HEAD ON A VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN IMPECCABLY MAINTAINED.*AK

WE OWN A 2001 EXPEDITION THE TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE ARE THE SAME TIRES RECALLED P275/60R17. I WENT TO GREENVILLE TO PICK UP MY SON ON THE WAY HOME I FELT THE VEHICLE SHAKING AND DID'NT KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND WE HEAR A BANG NOISE I PULLED OVER INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND CHECKED MY TIRES THE BACK RIGHT SIDE HADE A LARGE BARE SPOT ON THE TIRE SHOWING THE SEPARATION AND WIRES OF THE TIRE. MY SON WHO JUST HAD SURGERYON HIS FOOT HAD TO CHANGE THE TIRE. NO-ONE WAS HURT. I KNOW THE LORD WAS TRUELY LOOKING OUT FOR US BECAUSE FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED FROM THESE TIRES SEPARATING. I CALLED BEN SATCHER WHERE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE DIDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT SERIAL NUMBER FOR THE RECALLED TIRES AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING FOR US. I THINK IF WE WERE KILLED THEY'D HAVE A BIGGER PROBLEM ON THEIR HANDS. BUT THE PURPOSE OF WRITING THIS IS TO LET YOU KNOW I THINK MORE TIRES WERE EFFECTED THAN CONTINENTAL TIRES IS CONSIDERING. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO NEXT BECAUSE I BELIEVE OTHERS WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THESE TYPE OF PROBLEMS AND THEY JUST DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET HELP EITHER. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE ANOTHER INVESTIGATION OF THESE TIRES. I HAVE SEEN THE COMPLAINTS POSTED AND THEY SEEM TO HAVE BEEN REPORTED AFTER THE ORGINIAL RECALL HAS EXPIRED AND WE SHOULD NOT BE PENALIZED FOR THIS PROBLEM HAPPENING AFTER YOUR EXPIRATION DATE OF HELPING PEOPLE. IF A TIRE IS BAD IT'S SEEMS TO ME YOU SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PUT A CAP ON THAT. *AK
