Expedition

  • 5 miles
While driving my 2015 Ford Expedition home from work, my vehicle suddenly lost all gas power to the vehicle. My steering still worked and power was still on but I had no gas. I pulled over, turned my engine off and restarted and could go again. It took 6 times to restart to get 2 miles to safe point. Where I then had my vehicle towed to the nearest Ford dealership. I thought it was the fuel pump. Turns out it was the electronic throttle body. Which is a known issue for the Ford engine, the NHTSA had enough complaints that Ford issued a mandatory extended warranty for 4 other type Ford vehicles but not the Expedition, which has the same type of engine. I had to pay $560 to have this part replaced on my vehicle when it's a known Ford issue. My vehicle had 50,700 miles on it at the time of the occurrence. I hope that the NHTSA will look into this issue and have Ford expand their make and model warranty as well as reimburse me for my expenses for this replacement.

1/28/17 driving 65 mph on a Florida highway (not on cruise control) the throttle/gas peddle sensor (throttle body) shuts off the gas to the engine and the car slows to a stop. This is in the middle of traffic. We manage to pull to the side of the highway, turn the car off and on and the problem disappears for another 50 miles we drive the car to a Ford dealer and they replace the throttle body for $500. I am. Out of warranty = over 36,000 miles I tell my story to 2 St louis friends, also own Ford (2006 Explorer, 2008 edge) and they say that they have had the same experience and necessary repair. I just notified Ford customer service 800-392-3673 and they say that they do not have a recall or issue with this problem. This is a very dangerous situation and has been ignored by Ford for years. I also owned a Toyota during their sudden acceleration problem a few years ago and this seems worse

Expedition

  • 3,000 miles
01 June 2015 driving on interstate 10 from beaumont Texas I entered a heavy rain storm, traffic slowed down to about 50 M.P.H. in a 70 M.P.H. speed zone. I passed a tractor trailer, when the mist from the truck and the rain hit my vehicle, my engine lost power. I removed my foot from the gas, after a few hundred yards the power came back but my engine light was on. The problem happened 4 or 5 times thru Louisiana and into Florida.I took the vehicle back to the dealer palm bay Ford with 3,000 mile since new they couldn't duplicate the problem so I was told there wasn't a problem. 17 Sept. 2015 with 12826 miles I returned to palm bay Ford again, after returning from West virgina in another heavy rain storm the same thing happened, the engine lost power I was told the same thing they couldn't find a problem so no problem exist. This is a safety concern and needs to be addressed.
