1999 Ford Expedition suspension complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 52 of 52, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When traveling between 40 & 50 MPH, there is a vibration throughout the vehicle. This vibration is distinct in the floorboards. The first time it was taken in for the problem, the mechanic stated it was a tire pressure problem & the pressure was adjusted. The second time, only a couple weeks later was for the same problem. This time the mechanic stated that he could not varify concern. However, when vehicle was picked up, a female service writer went for a ride with me and she noticed the problem. On the 3rd incident, a mechanic who was doing a state safety inspection noticed the vibration and strongley advised me to have the vehicle repaired. I have been in touch with ford motor co. And they stated that another dealership would call to make an appt.. This has never taken place. I am concerned for the safety of my children and wife as well as myself.*ak( dot number: vncu tire size: p255/70r16 )
A bolt that holds suspension bar has fallen which could have caused vehicle to roll over .
This vehicle has been back to dealership seven times since purchase for warranty service problems and recalls. In may of 99 there was a recall on the wheel lugs: nuts. In september 99, november 99, and march 2000 it was in for windshield wiper problems; moulding replacement; twice for front end alignments (steers to right); and trailer hitch recall. The constant smelll of burning oil has just been diagnosed on latest visit to dealership 5/15/00 as needing a new cylinder head. Vehicle has been in on three other occasions for this same problem, but they could never find it. Now parts are on order---will take 3-4 days to obtain parts before they can repair it. Regarding the "windnoise" dealer says its "normal" yet service bulletins have been issued on this problem (996780 & tsb 99-6-5). In november of 1999, the left "tie rod" broke off while we were in phoenix. A phoenix dealership did a same day repair for us.
Rear axle failed causing left wheel to fall off when consumer made a turn. Yh
Vehicle experiences continued problems with suspension stability and control, several replacements of suspension/steering components. Yh
Vehicle vibration at speeds of 65 MPH or higher. Burning smells coming from under hood and vehicle smoke from under hood.
1) upon accelerating from a stop, the transmission/transfer case seems to slip and shudder as if the tires are not grabbing the road. This is at all speeds, whether slow or quick starts. Also, during high speed acceleration such as when passing on the highway, there is a low pitch growling sound and vibration as if the engine mounts are broken. 2) the front intermittent wipers turn on by themself occasionally, usually just for one sweep then turn back off. 3) the rear automatic load leveling air shocks on one occasion deflated totally after being parked for about 4 hours. The truck chassis was nearly touching the rear tires, I was unable to drive away until they reinflated after starting the vehicle.
