1999 Ford Expedition: harsh or hard shifting

Filed Jul 30, 2015 · Acceleration, Engine · 165,000 miles · KY

My expedition started acting like it was starving for fuel misfiring loss of power and there's a ticking sound coning from under the dash board the door lock unlock the lights flicker and horn beeps by its self I parked it and a couple days later it wouldnt it trying to crank but its sound I dont believe battery is dead if it was then lights wouldn't come on now and again also when I use my key ring lock to lock the door there's a clunk cluck sound I've spent a lot of money trying to find out what's wrong with lamont that's my expeditions name and nobody knows last repair shop had it 9 days total on the 7th day I called them they said they had no idea and on the 9th I went in and they said I needed a new motor costing 2600 and charging me 220 to tell me that. The shop before that cost me 350 saying the truck itself were the plugs go in was stripped and they needed a special tool. Any how I believe it would be a matter of time before the vehicle will catch on fire. The vehicle is very unpredictable and you dont know what it will do next it also dies while driving it ..

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.

Vibrating feels like from rr right side, at speeds of 50-60 MPH, driveshaft replaced 2 times, fixed slipped yoke 1 time, universal replaced by private garage trying to repair problem and frod dealer paid for repair but this did not solve problem. Rear transfer case has begun to leak, fixed once in feb 2002 and currently being fixed again. Odometer does not always come on windshield wipers have by themselves, back wiper only when it feels like it. Engine has idled rough and has stalled at very low coast (when parking) in both forward and reverse. Door ajar switch would not come on or go off when it did go on for length of trip. Ignition lock would not lock,and sticks. Right front door lock would not unlock. Driver window slams when going up. Clunking noise when shifting into reverse.ticking engine noise when starting vehicle. Most problems have been solved, but not the vibrating in rear end. This has existed from the time we bought the truck, we have been to 2 different dealerships, have been told slipped yoke, driveshaft loose, driveshaft unbalanced, and now the tires had debris in them, in which they had a put on a month prior to it being back in their garage for the vibrating. Ford oughta be ashamed of themselves for doing this and causing this kind of stress. I have 3 years left to pay on this vehicle and have been through almost everything with it, now that the warranty is up I get to pay for the same repairs happening over and over again?
