2009 Ford Expedition Problems

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.

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.

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.

THE BRAKE SENSOR HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND I AM NOT ABLE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. IF I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL MULTIPLE TIMES, IT WILL FINALLY SENSE THE BRAKES AND LET ME DRIVE. ALSO, SOMETIMES DURING DRIVING THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN PRESSED. FORD HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BASED ON THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE. HOWEVER, MY MODEL WAS NOT INCLUDED AS IT WAS BUILD 6 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE TIMEFRAME OUTLINED BY FORD. CLEARLY THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED SINCE THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING IN A WIDER TIMEFRAME THAN WAS DETERMINED BY FORD. *TR

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

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.

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 .

I FEEL LIKE THIS KNOWN ISSUE SHOULD BE ON A RECALL.

I THINK TOO MUCH EXHAUST GAS COMES INSIDE

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.

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.

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.

2009 FORD EXPEDITION FOG LIGHTS - BOTH FOG LIGHT LENS CRACK AFTER DRIVING ON A PAVED HIGHWAY IN SUB ZERO FREEZING WEATHER. BOTH HAVE IDENTICAL FAILURE MODE AND FORD REFUSES TO COVER UNDER WARRANTY. THE MATERIALS, DESIGN, AND ENGINEERING IS SUB-STANDARD AND DOES NOT MEET DOT SPECIFICATIONS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN A SCHOOL ZONE WHEN A VEHICLE RAN A YIELD SIGN AND HIT ME ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT. MY AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE IMPACT PUSHED ME THROUGH A FENCE AND INTO A RESIDENTIAL YARD. I HIT MY HEAD ON THE WINDOW AND THE HANDLE THAT WAS MOLDED INTO THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDSHIELD. THE LEFT SIDE OF MY BODY TOOK THE IMPACT AND I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT. I SUFFERED A TBI AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO WORK, DRIVE, AND FUNCTION FOR A YEAR. *TR

2009 FORD EXPEDITION- FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER HEADREST ARE COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE AND MISALIGNED. WOULD CAUSE SEVERE INJURY IN AN ACCIDENT AND CURRENTLY CAUSE NECK STRAIN ON A DAILY BASIS. *TR

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.

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.

WHEN DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEED, ONCE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED FOR STOP LIGHT IT BEGINS TO SHAKE BADLY.ALSO WHEN IN PARK IT SHAKES, THE MOTOR SEEMS TO BE RATTLED BY STANDING STILL. WE CARRIED IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE IT STILL HAS THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SHAKING.ON CITY STREETS. IF STOP FOR LIGHT IT SHAKES. WE HAD THE VEHICLE SINCE NOVEMBER OF 2015, AREN'T ABLE TO DRIVE IT MUCH BECAUSE OF THE SHAKING. AFRAID TO DRIVE ,FEEL UNSAFE FOR ROAD TRAVEL. SHAKES WITH A LOUD NOISE, SUCH AS RATTLING NOISE, OR VIBRATION. HAS CONTINUED FOR AS LONG AS WE'VE HAD THE EXPEDITION.
