1998 Ford Expedition visibility complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 61 of 61, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Heater hose system design defect caused hoses to leak causing subsequent damage to heater coil and spark plug ,causing the vehicle to run improperly. Had to wait almost a month for parts. Problem not covered by warranty and neither was the rental car. Ford refused responsibility for design defect. The dealership where the vehicle was repaired had 3 other vehicles in the same week with the same problem. Service man reported that the design had to be changed by ford due to hoses leaking and the newly designed hoses were on backorder.
While vehicle was parked overnight the glass cracked due to pressure. The dealer will be notified.
Side view mirrors vibrate so badly that you cannot see anything in them. Everythung is a blur. The problem is worse the faster you go. At highway speeds of 60-65 MPH it is the worst. The problem has existed since the vehicle was new (oct. '98). Replacement of the mirrors by the dealer has not helped. The dealer says that it is a problem that has been brought to their attention by other expedition owners, but that ford motor has no solution to fix the problem. This causes a safety concern as the driver has to turn to look out the windows to see if there is a vehicle as the mirrors are rendered useless. Upon contacting ford motor co. Of my concerns (1‑800‑392‑3673), I was informed that engineering would be contacted and that I would have to keep in contact with the dealer for any information as ford would not contact me. I asked when this would be and was informed that no date could be given. I also asked for this information in writing and was informed that this was not possible.
