2010 Ford Expedition Problems

Interior A/c blower motor short. A/c stops and starts by itself with smell of wiring melting or burnt.

I ATTEMPTED TO ROLE MY WINDOW UP WHILE DRIVING AND IT STOPPED WORKING. THE WINDOW WILL NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN AND IS STUCK OPEN. THE MOTOR MAKES A CLICKING SOUND. WINDOW IS NOT OFF TRACK EITHER.

FORD VEHICLE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 TO 50 MPH HITS PICKUP TRUCK BROADSIDE PUSHES TRUCK AT 45 DEGREE ANGLE ABOUT 25 FEET. DAMAGE TO FORD FRONT BUMPER, FENDER AND HOOD JUST OFF CENTER OF VEHICLE. NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT!

2010 FORD EXPEDITION WAS TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND. A 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO THAT WAS ON THE NORTHBOUND SIDE, MADE A LEFT-HAND TURN IN FRONT OF THE EXPEDITION WITHOUT YIELDING RIGHT OF WAY TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE EXPEDITION WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MPH AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP LEAVING SKID MARKS ON THE PAVEMENT. THERE WAS NO TIME TO REACT AS IT TOOK PLACE SO QUICKLY. THE VEHICLES COLLIDED RIGHT FRONT TO RIGHT FRONT. THEN AS THE VEHICLES CONTINUED IN MOTION THE EXPEDITION WAS DRAGGED SIDEWAYS INTO A T-BONE TYPE POSITION WITH THE SIDE OF THE SILVERADO, AND THE FRONT OF THE EXPEDITION SLIDE DOWN THE SIDE OF THE SILVERADO IN THIS POSITION CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE SILVERADO'S PASSENGER FRONT FENDER, DOOR, EXTENDED CAB DOOR AND FRONT OF THE BEDSIDE. THE BACKEND OF THE SILVERADO CAME UP OFF OF THE GROUND AND THEN THE VEHICLES SEPARATED. THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE EXPEDITION WAS TAKEN OFF. IT WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS SURPRISED THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND ADVISED US TO STAY OUT OF THE VEHICLE AT THAT POINT. THERE WERE THREE OCCUPANTS IN THE EXPEDITION, ALL WEARING SEATBELTS, INCLUDING THE DRIVER, A PASSENGER IN THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT AND A PASSENGER IN THE RIGHT SEAT OF THE SECOND ROW OF SEATING. THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER WAS HEAVILY BRUISED ACROSS THE CHEST FROM THE SEATBELT LOCKING UP. HOWEVER THAT PARTICULAR SEATBELT WOULD OFTEN LOCK UP AND START CINCHING DOWN ON WHOEVER WAS OCCUPYING THAT SEAT ON A REGULAR BASIS PRIOR TO THIS ACCIDENT. AND WHEN THE SEAT BELT WOULD DO SO IT WOULD HAVE TO BE UNFASTENED AND LET TO PULL ALL THE WAY BACK IN, PULLED BACK OUT AND REFASTENED. SO EVEN WITH ITS PRIOR APPARENT DEFECT IT STILL LOCKED UP IN THE COLLISION, JUST NO AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT.

FIRST INCIDENT IN MARCH 2019 FROM PARKED POSITION, PUT CAR IN DRIVE AND IT "RACED" OUT OF CONTROL, TRIED TO BRAKE AND FINALLY STOPPED THE CAR JUST SHORT OF JUMPING CURB ACROSS THE STREET. IN MAY 2019 WAS LEAVING A PARKING AREA AND CAR REPEATED SAME THING. TOOK LONGER TO STOP, BUT HAD THERE BEEN ANOTHER CAR OR PEDESTRIAN IN FRONT OF ME, COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS. WITHIN THE LAST WEEK, (JUNE 15), IF CAR IS IDLING EITHER AT LIGHT OR IN PARK, ENGINE WILL START RACING. TURN OFF CAR AND RESTART, IT WILL START AGAIN, BUT WITHOUT MY TOUCHING ACCELERATOR, WHEN CAR IS IN DRIVE WILL "CRUISE " AT 25 MPH. CAN EITHER BE STATIONERY IN PARK OR SITTING AT LIGHT WHEN CAR IN DRIVE. AM GETTING AFRAID TO DRIVE. HAVE ONLY HAD CAR SINCE MARCH 12, 2019 AND LAST INCIDENT WAS YESTERDAY JUNE 25, 2019.

FORD VEHICLE SHUTS OFF SPORADICALLY WITH MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS WHILE DRIVING AND STATIONARY. THE BRAKES ALSO SEIZE UP TO THE POINT WHERE THEY OVER HEAT AND COULD CATCH FIRE. THE MOST RECENT EVENT HAPPENED MAY 15TH AFTER PICKING THE CAR UP FROM MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TO TRY AND REPAIR WHAT FORD DEALERSHIPS HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR. IT SHUT OFF ON THE WAY HOME. MAY 16TH THE BRAKES LOCKED UP. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A OVER A YEAR. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO SEVERAL REPAIR SHOPS AND WAS RECENTLY AT AUTO NATION FORD IN UNION CITY GA FOR OVER A MONTH AWAITING A PART THAT NEVER SHOWED UP. I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP AND TOOK IT TO ANOTHER LOCAL SHOP THAT WAS ABLE TO SECURE THE PART AND REPLACE IT, BUT THAT STILL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. SO FAR, I'VE SPENT UPWARDS OF $8000 IN THE SPAN OF A YEAR AND THE ISSUE STILL HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVE. REPAIRS FROM BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS TO THE CALIPERS AND HYDRAULIC SYSTEM AND EVEN A FULL 4X4 TRANSFER CASE ASYMBLEY SO FAR NONE OF THE REPAIRS HAS WORKED. IT HAS SHUT OFF IN THE PAST WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON THE EXPRESS WAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AREAS. THIS VEHICLE IS JUST UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND OTHER VIDEOS OF FORD OWNERS THAT ARE ALSO GOING THROUGH THIS ISSUE WITH THE SAME RESULTS. I HAVE VIDEO WHICH IS THE BEST VISUAL SINCE THERE ARE MULTIPLE WARNINGS THAT POP UP.

The transmission is malfunctioning. The shifting in the gears has become rough with kick or clunk feeling. This happens when increasing speed and decreasing speed. The Transmission has even gotten stuck in 2nd, and 4th gears. Our safety was at risk because when the gears were stuck the vehicle would not increase in speed, in the flow if traffic. The transmission has been inspected by 3 Transmission Mechanic shops, and has been confirmed by all 3. There have not been warning signs or lights on the dashboard to alert us of the problem. This appears to be random and out of the blue. The truck is available for inspection upon request.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EXPEDITION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING WITH THE PARK ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR AND ROLLED BACKWARDS CRASHING INTO A STEEL POST WITHOUT WARNING. THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOORS WERE AJAR. ADDITIONALLY, THE KEY FELL OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE OCCUPANT SEATED IN THE REAR JUMPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE BUT SUSTAINED NO INJURIES OR MEDICAL ATTENTION. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE CONTACT CALLED NELSON FORD LOCATED AT 201 COMMONWEALTH BLVD W, MARTINSVILLE, VA 24112 BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 247,000.

VEHICLE CONVERTED TO STRETCH LIMOUSINE BY IMPERIAL COACH IN SPRINGFIELD, MO. THE METHOD OF CONVERSION CAUSED THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS TO BE PERMANENTLY DISABLED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CONSTANTLY DISPLAY THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS CONVERSION ALSO HAMPERED THE TRACTION CONTROL REQUIRING THE DRIVER TO TURN OFF TRACTION CONTROL PRIOR TO OPERATING THE VEHICLE TO AVOID DIFFICULTY MANEUVERING AROUND TURNS. THESE OPERATING DEFICIENCIES ARE ONLY ON THE VEHICLE WITH VIN# [XXX]. WE WERE AWARE OF THE SITUATION WHEN WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, WE HAVE SOLD THE VEHICLE "AS IS" AT AUCTION BUT IT APPEARS THAT IT IS BEING "FLIPPED" BY SEVERAL OWNERS. WE ARE CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE WITH AN UNKNOWING OPERATOR. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WIPERS AND RADIO STOP WORKING WHILE CAR IS MOVING. SOMETIMES THEY DO YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THEIR NOT GOING TO WORK.ESPECIALLY DURING A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EXPEDITION. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STANDSTILL, THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS FAILED TO OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE REGULATOR. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO SWITCH THE HEATER OFF, BUT THE HEATER FAILED TO TURN OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BLOWER HAD LIKELY FAILED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE HOME BEFORE THE DEALER COULD PROPERLY DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

2010 FORD EXPEDITION HEADREST DESIGN IS EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE. ANGLE IS TOO FAR FORWARD. I HAVE CONSTANT UPPER BACK AND NECK PAIN SINCE BUYING THIS VEHICLE IN MAY 2010. THE DEALER HAS NO SOLUTION TO ALTER OR REPLACE FACTORY PARTS. FORD NEEDS TO REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE PART IMMEDIATELY! *TR

I JUST WANT TO REPORT HOW UNCOMFORTABLE THE HEADREST IN THE FORD EXPEDITION ARE. THEY ARE TILTED WAY TO FAR FORWARD. *TR

WHEN WE TOUCH THE BRAKES, FROM STARTING POSITION OR WHEN IN MOTION, THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IN THE DASH FLASH AND FLICKER OR TURN OFF, THE HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF, THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE IN THE DOORS, THE WINDOWS WON'T ROLL UP OR DOWN, THE AC TURNS OFF, THE RADIO TURNS OFF, AND YOU CAN'T SWITCH GEARS (GEAR SHIFT WON'T MOVE). I'D NEED TO UPLOAD A VIDEO FOR YOU TO SEE IT. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN USING THE BRAKES AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EXPEDITION. THE CONTACT TEST DROVE ANOTHER 2010 EXPEDITION VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE HEAD RESTRAINT WAS POSITIONED WHERE HER HEAD AND CHIN IS HITTING HER CHEST. FORD LET HER KNOW THAT THE 2010 VEHICLE WILL BE DIFFERENT WHERE NOW SHE HAS TO POSITION IT WHERE SHE CAN OBSERVE TRAFFIC IN AN UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION . SHE HAS EXPERIENCED PAIN TO HER NECK AND CHEST. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT MAKE AN MODIFICATIONS SINCE THEY WERE NOT APPROVED FOR THE SAFETY STANDARDS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 5800. UPDATED 05/06/10. *LJ UPDATED 06/25/10.*JB

I OWN A 2010 FORD EXPEDITION V8 WITH 9000MILES ON IT. I WAS PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN FROM A STOP. WHILE GIVING THE TRUCK GAS THE TRANSMISSION STARTED JUMPING GEARS AND SLIPPING WHILE OTHER VEHICLES SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN INTO SHOP 9 TIMES IN 8 MONTHS FOR TRANSMISSIONS ISSUES. THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES AND PROBLEM IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN WORKED ON SEVERAL TIMES AND AT THIS POINT I AFRAID TO PUT MY FAMILY IN THIS TRUCK. *TR

MY 2010 HAS JUMPED OUT OF GEAR 4-5 TIMES AND MOST RECENTLY IT JUMPED OUT AND I MISSED THE BRAKE AND HIT THE GAS --THE SUV RAN INTO A BUILDING CAUSING ABOUT 6-8K IN DAMAGE. I KNOW I PUT THE EXPEDITION IN GEAR AND THE VIDEO/SURVEIL. TAPE SHOWS THAT I DID..I AM TRADING THIS POS ASAP!!! *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW SET OF PIRELLI TIRES FOR MY 2010 FORD EXPEDITION IN FEB. 2015 & THEY COST ME $1,800.00. I THOUGHT I WAS PAYING FOR A A BETTER SET OF TIRES. IN AUG.,6 MTH. LATER, MY FAMILY WENT ON A TRIP TO NC IN THE EXPEDITION & ON OUR WAY HOME MY FRONT PASSENGER TIRE COMPLETELY CAME APART FROM THE INSIDE OUT ON THE INTERSTATE. MY TIRE SENSOR LIGHT HAD COME ON MAYBE 10 MINUTES AT MOST PRIOR TO THE TIRE EXPLODING, WE SHOULD'VE HAD TIME TO MAKE IT TO A GAS STATION. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO SARASOTA FORD THE NEXT DAY & WAS TOLD I SHOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY PUT A SPARE ON MY CAR & BROUGHT THE TIRE IN BECAUSE MOST LIKELY THE VALVE STEM WAS LEAKING & THEY WOULD'VE COVERED THE TIRE. JIMMY SAID THAT I RUINED THE TIRE BECAUSE OF DRIVING ON IT WITH LOW TIRE PRESSURE. I PAID THE $225.BECAUSE I STILL HAD A SPARE TIRE ON MY CAR & I WASN'T COMFORTABLE WITH IT & I WASN'T GETTING ANYWHERE TRYING TO TELL HIM THAT I DIDN'T BELIEVE YOU CAN BE GIVEN A 10 MIN.WARNING TO GET YOUR TIRE OFF THE ROAD BEFORE IT JUST DISINTEGRATES. I'M NOT SURE IF IT WOULD'VE GONE DIFFERENTLY IF I'D BEEN A GUY! I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH SARASOTA FORD A LONG TIME & THEY HAVE ALL OF MY SERVICE LOG RECORDS. I GET MY OIL CHANGED EVERY 3,000 MI , MY TIRES ROTATED EVERY OTHER OIL CHANGE & THE RECORDS WILL SHOW THAT I TAKE CARE OF ANY NEEDS THAT MY CAR HAS, I DON'T IGNORE THEM AS HE WOULD IMPLY. I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN SARASOTA FORD FOR BEING SO QUICK TO BLAME ME FOR THIS TIRE FAILURE & I'M OBVIOUSLY NOT HAPPY WITH PERELLI TIRE EITHER. I AM VERY THANKFUL WE WERE JUST VERY INCONVENIENCED & NO ONE WAS HURT. LUCKILY THERE ARE MANY OTHER CHOICES FOR TIRES & TIRE COMPANIES FOR THE REST OF OUR VEHICLES.

BOUGHT TRUCK USED,WITH PIRELLI SCORPION TIRES. THEY CRACKED 360 DEGREES , 1 INCH FROM THE RIM, INSIDE SURFACE, ON ALL 4 TIRES! THIS WAS NOTED ON A OIL CHANGE.. DEALER AGREED TO CHANGE ALL TIRES. *JS THESE TIRES (NEW) AFTER A SHORT TIME, FAILED IN A SIMILAR MANNER, AGAIN ALL 4 TIRES.

WHEN DRIVING THE 2010 FORD EXPEDITION THROUGH VIRTUALLY ANY PUDDLE, AS THE WATER HITS THE FRONT WHEELS IT IS THROWN DIRECTLY UP ONTO THE WINDSHIELD OF THE SUV. I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES AND THEY ALWAYS ARE DESIGNED TO PUSH THE WATER AWAY/UNDER THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AS YOU LOOSE ALL VISIBILITY EVERY TIME YOU RUN THROUGH A PUDDLE OF WATER. HAVING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON HIGH STILL TAKES 3-4 CYCLES TO CLEAR THE AMOUNT OF WATER THAT IS DUMPED ON THE WINDSHIELD. SO YOU ARE DRIVING BLIND UNTIL YOU EXIT THE PUDDLE/WATER ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (WHICH CAN BE QUITE A DISTANCE WITH HEAVY RAINS AND WATER RUNNING DOWN THE SIDES OF THE ROAD). MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED TO FORD AND THE RESPONSE IS HOW FORD HANDLES ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT ANY OF THEIR VEHICLES....'NO PROBLEM FOUND. THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED.' HERE LIES THE ISSUE. IT HAS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW THAT CREATES AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ANYONE DRIVING THESE VEHICLES IN THE RAIN. FORD SHOULD BE FORCED TO DEVELOP A DESIGN FIX FOR THIS ISSUE, AND ORDERED TO STOP SELLING ADDITIONAL VEHICLES UNTIL THIS FIX IS ROLLED OUT. FORD IS STILL THE SAME COMPANY THEY WERE IN THE 80'S AND 90'S....DENY RESPONSIBILITY AND HOPE PEOPLE WILL JUST GO AWAY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS BEFORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED DUE TO FORD'S POOR DESIGN OF THIS VEHICLE. FORD WON'T HAVE RECORDS COMPLAINTS, BECAUSE THE DEALERS WON'T WRITE A REPAIR ORDER FOR IT SINCE THERE IS NO FIX. THIS IS THE SAME APPROACH FORD IS TAKING ON THE 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION ISSUES THESE VEHICLES HAVE ALSO. *TR

THERE WAS NO INCIDENTS THAT LED UP TO THE EVENT. WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND HESITATED IN STOPPING. HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP ON MARCH 14, 2011 AND THE PSDS AND BRAKES SYSTEM WAS AT 100%. THEN TOOK THR VEHICLE BACK INTO THE SHOP ON MARCH 24, 2011. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS HARD T GET STOPPED AND VIBRATED. UPON INSPECTION THE BRAKE PADS HAD CRYSTALLIZED AND MELTED THE ROTORS. THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS FAILING. I OWN A 2010 FORD EXPEDITION EL. THIS IS THE 2ND 2010 FORD EXPEDITION EL THAT I HAVE OWNED WITH PROBLEMS. FORD MOTOR COMPANY'S STANCE IS THAT THEY ARE REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS UNDER WARRANTY, HOWEVER THEY CAN NOT TELL ME WHAT CAUSED THIS, AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO GET AN ENGINEER INVOLVED. I HAVE WENT AS FAR AS I CAN WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE REGARDING THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EXPEDITION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FOG LIGHTS SHATTERED ABNORMALLY. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE FOG LIGHTS TO SHATTER AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT A REMEDY WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

POOR HEADLIGHTS. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING AWAY FROM MY HOME (THANKFULLY AT A LOW SPEED) THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY WENT OUT. IF I HAD BEEN GOING ANY FASTER AN ACCIDENT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED. ALSO, I CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER WINDOW IN THE CAR. WHEN IT IS COLD, YOU CAN GET THE WINDOW TO GO DOWN BUT IT IS VERY HARD TO GET IT TO GO BACK UP. TWO SHOPS TOLD ME THAT THE MOTOR IN THE WINDOW WAS BAD SO I HAD ONE OF THEM REPLACE IT BUT THAT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM AS I LEARNED THE NEXT TIME IT WAS COLD AND THE WINDOW STILL DIDN'T WORK RIGHT. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT MAKES THE MOTOR KEEP GOING BAD BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. *TR
