I have a 1999 ford expedition eddie bauer, on monday, december 13,2004 I was having brakes and rotors replaced on my truck. The mechanic notified me that there was a major problem with the tie rod end. He said that the bolts were broken on one side and missing on the other. He also stated that he was surprised that the vehicle was still upright and that I had not been in an accident. My vehicle has now been in the shop for 3 days due to this problem. The mechanic who is fixing the problem stated that I needed to find out if there are any recalls on this vehicle for the tie rod end.
Frankly, I need your advice on a matter of great concern I bought a 1999 ford expedition from waldorf ford in oct 2002. Recently I had a break down; I had three spark plugs blow-out, yesterday I was told that three cylinders are gone due from the damage of the spark plugs. The assistant team mgr said it would cost $6000.00 to get a new engine or get a new vehicle; I couldn't believe my ears. These trucks are lemons and I believe its time that ford take responsibility for their actions and recalls these engine. I guess they are waiting for someone to get killed. My truck lost power in the middle of rush hour and I was nearly rear ended. Other noted problems: the emergency brake cable stays on, the engine light stays on while driving and the brakes pads and shoes are worn out at a higher rate. *jb *bf
