problem #1

Jan 011999

Expedition 4WD

  • miles
The relationship of the brake & accelerator is unsafe. When the brake is engaged, it is below the level of the accelerator. In an emeregency stop, it is possible to fully engage the brake, and with your foot partially overhanging to accidently engage the accelerator. This is a design problem with all Expedition, and Ford has been unwilling to correct it.
