This is the second Ford vehichle purchased. Initial vehicle traded because of saftey issue involving seat belt malfunction. This particular vehicle needed an engine replaced and extensive transmission repairs. Ford Motor Company is basically untouchable for comments. Service technician at dealership admitted to knowing the engines in the 1997- 1999 Expedition were having problems. I was never notified.

problem #18

Jul 011999

Expedition 4WD

  • miles
At 3000 miles the engine was replaced due to a knock in the engine. At 11,000 miles there was a severe vibration in the drive train at 65 mph with the vechile under load - Ford couldn't identify the problem and had no fix. At 12,500 miles the torque converter failed resulting in the vechile stalling at stops. The torque converter and transmission were replaced. This reduced the vibration but did not eliminate it. Again Ford tried several times but could not identify and correct the problem. At 21,000 miles the vechile lost all power and would only move by reving the engine (like severe clutch slippage on a manual transmission). Ford is presently investigating. Both failures could have resulted in severe accidents if the driving conditions had been slightly different at the time of the failures. The problem appears to me to be in the computer constrol system for the transmission resulting in possibly the second failre of the transmission.

problem #17

Expedition 4WD

  • miles
After noticing an oil leak, I took the vehicle to the dealer for repair. I was told that the cylinder head was warped and had to be replaced. My Expedition has only 12,000 miles on it. I believe Ford has issued technical bulletins regarding cylinder head leaks and replacing the head gasket on the Ford Expedition. There may be more Expedition having the same problem as mine.
