While pulling out of a parking space at low speed consumer heard a popping noise coming from front end of vehicle. * ak consumer states transmission makes a clunking noise when downshifting, dealer replaced the main control valve body, transmission pan gasket, and accumulator pistons. Dealer installed bearing strips in the adjusters for the suspension noise, however later found the noise was coming from the left front floor body mount. Outside door handle was loose, dealer installed a nut and panel. Tires made vibration noises at 65 MPH and up, dealer replaced two tires due to excessive run out. Head liner was sagging down. Left rear trim was loose at back edge, dealer replaced. A connection was loose at mirror, dealer secured.
On the 8 passenger ford expedition, the step down ledge inside the vehicle, is too narrow when the second row seat is in the upright position. The drop down is slight and the width is narrow. It is very difficult to step out of the vehicle, especially backwards. Our vehicle contains 2 booster seats one car seat and one infant carrier. This being the case, we are usually stepping out backwards with a child/infant in hand. I injured my elbow bracing myself so that I didn't drop my 7 week old after slipping on this ledge. This is not the first such incident. I'm not the only one to do this in this vehicle.
Auxiliary power point on lower rear of center console between front seats has the power point mounted on the rear of the console about one inch from the floor. When the second row of seats are folded down as many people do when traveling, the top of the second seat backs blocks access to the power point. Typically owners plug in a cooler or other auxiliary items here. When you try to plug in the item, you must force the top of the 2nd row seat back away from the rear of the center console and force the plug in at an ackward angle and once plugged in, the wires leading to the plug are severly bent at right angles to the plug and then the 2nd seat back presses directly against the wires where they enter the plug. This has caused the wire insulation to break and peel off allowing the exposed wires to come in contact with each other and /or short out the power point. I feel this is a direct fire and safety hazard and have complained about it to the dealership service department and to ford in their quality control surveys they mail out after purchase. I have not had any response from ford. The owners manual shows the auxiliary power point on the side of the center console as it was in the 1997 expedition I had previously owned, but the facts are it isd installed on the rear of the center console. Ford should accept this as a vaild safety problem (fire hazard) and recall the vehicles to have the auxiliary power point moved to the side of the console.
When ford manufactured vehicle there was no stabalizer installed in roof of vehicle. Not installing stabilizer, causes a loud booming noise to be heard when windows are rolled up, and roof of vehicle is capable of being pressed down. Dealership is now in possession of vehicle, and is going to take top half of vehicle off and install a stabalizer, then, reweld components of vehicle back together.
