Running boards are very slick when wet. I do not believe it is possible to safely use them when wet. My wife, two of my sons, and I have all fallen getting out of the vehicle due to the slippery running board. My fall resulted in a badly broken arm and head trauma. Ford and the dealer have been uninterested in fixing this problem in my contacts with them.
Low speed driver side impact by dodge minivan resulted in rollover accident. Driver side roof crush and seat belt failure resulted in broken neck for driver. Now c-6 quadraplegic
Want to see if dealer sold me a wrecked or damaged vehicle. Having minor problems with car and I have some "bubbles" in the hood which would indicate the vehicle has been through some kind of damage. Requesting further info to make sure so I can feel a little better about the purchace.
Assist handle on front passenger's side split in half when occupant caught onto it to get into the truck. Dealer will be notified about the problem. Please provide any further information.
Upon making a right or left hand turn vehicle surged forward, causing extended stopping distance. Also doors locked and unlocked with operator controlling the door lock button. Consumer has contacted the dealer. Please provide any further details.
Under back seat in rear of vehicle frame has a bad stress fracture. The crack goes the width of the body on the floorboard. Located where seats are mounted. Took to dealership & was informed nothing can be done. Manufacturer was in agreement. Crack at present is at least 3 to 4 inches long & getting worse.
In high/ windy climate, vehicle is blowen around which may cause a loss of vehicle control, and could result in a crash. Please provide further information.
Cruise control experiences intermittent failure.
Automatic door locks failed.
Running boards on early 1998 expeditions do not extend out far enough to be safe. Especially in icy/snowy conditions, the narrow area to place your feet can cause you to slip off. The newer 1998 expeditions appear to have the running boards moved out approximately 2 inches.
