On may first of 2014 my check engine light and oil light came on. I assumed I needed oil, so I went to the advanced auto store and purchased some oil. I put the oil in and began to proceed home. I was driving and the oil light was showing as hot. The car would not give enough power for me to drive, it began to shake. The car is not drivable anymore. It is still doing the same thing. After some research I discovered that this car's make and model is a recall car. I need to know what to do.

I took my 2000 ford expedition xlt in to huntington beach ford to be serviced due to r.p.m. Fluctuation and a service engine soon light. They conducted a diagnosis and stated I would need a I.a.c. Part. The new I.a.c. Did not fix the problem so I took it back to h.b. Ford and they stated I would need a d.p.f.e. Sensor. I had them replace that which did not fix the problem because the service engine light illuminated and the r.p.m. Fluctuation was still evident. I went back to h.b. Ford and they diagnosed a new throttle body. I gave them the o.k. To replace the throttle body. They called me a couple days later to inform me that that did not solve your problem so I will need to pay an extra $400 for a diagnostic fee so they can check all the wiring. The manager has stated they believe it is coming from the wiring system? Why do I have to pay for everything else when they cannot pinpoint the problem?

I own a 2000 ford expedition. I bought it in 2002 from magarity ford. It had 21000 miles on the vehicle. I have not had any problems with the vehicle until this point. Was driving home on 1/6/2004 on rt 55 in new jersey. The engine light came on and I came off the highway.the truck was shimmering, and I could hear a tapping noise. I stopped at pepboys and the mechanic was nice enough to look at the vehicle. However when I turned it on it would not start. I had it towed to ther dealership which was 1/2 mile away. Holman ford in glassboro, nj. I was told that the engine needed to be replaced. It would cost $5400 which I did not have. There was oil in the truck and I recently recieved an oil change. I had another mechanic look at it and he said there was oil in the engine, but it was not lubricating. He had a camera that looked inside and he reported that it was destroyed. Ford refused to do anything ,and deniedc any wrong doing. I am paying a $585 car note and insurance on a vehicle that does not work. The car is out of warranty and they claim that there is nothing that they can do.*ak however different consumer websites have experienced the same problem. I met someone on wed. That owns a 2001 expedition. His engine went last month and he can not afford to get his fixed either. It is not a coincidence that expedition owners are having this problem. My daughter's teacher had a ford car and experienced the same problem last year. All of this being said, I need help. I can not afford to pay this car note, insurance and rent cars to go to work. I am struggling and frustrated at ford's lack of responsibilty and poor workmanship.
