Paint is chiping from the hood and from the trunk door. The other problem is that it vibrates at high speeds. It drives very smooth, but once I hit above 70mph on the highway it starts to feel shaky. I can feel the vibration on the steering wheel.

My girlfriend and I came home, I placed the SUV in park. I was fully out of the vehicle when my girlfriend informed me that the keys were still in the ignition. I reached into the vehicle to take the keys out of the ignition, the car was what I assumed to be off. The SUV begin to reverse. The driveway was on an incline and I almost got ran over by the vehicle. There was a clicking noise like the gear was trying to catch. I was fully out of the SUV with a bag in my hand, but the seat belt locked on my girlfriend and she wasn't able to get out or get the vehicle to stop. The SUV was stopped by trees and I was able to get it out, the key was in the ignition still, the car was in park, in order to get out over the curb and out of the trees, I restarted the engine. I have since driven the vehicle and have been noticing jerking, and high pitch squeaking noises from the breaks and something going on with the break pedal, as though it has not come up from the usable break position. I am thankful my children were not injured.

The vehicle accelerated in reverse from our garage and could not be stopped. It hit a tree. My wife suffered three broken ribs and a broken leg. I suffered severe bruises. A video of the accident is available in MP4 format. The police report and the insurance claim can be obtained. This vehicle model has been involved in lawsuits accusing unintended acceleration. I believe this is the cause of this accident. The vehicle is being held by the insurance company.

When I start my 2008 Expedition ithe motor makes a clatter sound, then it stops and also inside the truck the actuator door inside the dash makes noice, then it stops. The passenger handle is loose I think it's missing the spring that returns it. All of this happens everyday. Today is 30 November 2016.
