Here is my problem: about a month ago, my 99 expedition began to make a "clunking" noise while making sharp turns (like into parking spaces). It is not just a noise - you can feel it through the steering wheel and it makes the whole truck jerk around. It is almost like my front wheels are driving over golf ball-sized rocks. The problem started very suddenly, and it is somewhat intermittent - but it is becoming more frequent as time goes on. I had it in to the ford garage twice now, and it just does not want to act up when a technician in the vehicle. Since I can't always make it happen, I am inclined to believe that it is not a mechanical problem (like a u-joint or cv joint). It is either really bad or non-existent. Also, I do not notice any major symptoms while driving in a straight line, although I sometimes do hear a high-pitched whine from the front end while traveling above 40 MPH. This noise is also intermittent, and it sounds somewhat like a wheel bearing going out (they checked out ok). When I first experienced the jumpy front end while taking corners, I immediately thought that the truck had been switched into 4wd. The jerky, clunky behavior of the front end is nearly identical to how the truck acts when you run in 4wd on dry pavement. I have put the truck into 4wd to test this theory, and the problem is similar, but much worse when I force the transfer case into 4wd. One of the most noticeable differences is how the truck acts when I first start to move. In 4wd, the truck is much more hesitant to start moving - it will not even creep forward in idle. Once I start to move, however, the truck jerks around just like I described above.

I have a 1999 ford expedition eddie bauer 4x4 that has all the symptoms of your investigation #ea05015. I took my vehicle in while it was still under warranty and I was denied a claim for them to fix it at my local dealer because they said that the cause was due to moisture and it was not covered by under warranty. This sounded to me to be a manufacturing defect and felt it should have been fixed by them. During that time I had to replace my transmission and transfer case which are controlled in some way by the gem module so I am told. I have not been able to fix the gem and fuse box to this date due to the high cost that was presented to me. I am not certain of the actual date this took place but it was identified while the vehicle was still under warranty.

When the car is hot it automatically shifts into 4 wheel drive. Ford is aware of the problem and sent an advisory to dealership shops. They advised this is problem and must replace the 4 wheel drive motor which is at a cost of 525.00. Then and only then if that doesn't fix it you have to replace 2 other switches which then costs an additional 600-800.00. I would like to find out why this is not considered a recall by ford since this is a very dangerous issue should the 4 wheel drive kick in while driving on the highway the wheels would lock up and all people in the car would be killed. I have file a complaint with ford and they advised there is nothing they can do about it since the car is a 1999. According to our ford dealership this can happen in 1999 through 2002 ford expeditions, explorers and excursions as well as there f series trucks.
