problem #1

Aug 011998

Expedition 4WD

  • miles
The bolts that attach the factory installed hitched worked loose with 2 of the 6 bolts falling out and the remaining 4 bolts were very loose. The hitch was close to separating from the vehicle. This also happened to my new 1999 Lincoln Navigator this week where 4 of the 6 bolts were lost and the other 2 were very loose. Fortunately, I noticed the problem when parked and the hitch did not separate onthe highway.
