Problems with headlights blowing out, replaced bulb, still no high beam. Lights completely went out one night. Had to have family member follow me home. Battery detached to get lights inside off. Lights originally went off when I plugged my cell phone in for charging; something that I have always done in my prior vehicles. Vehicle cutting off, shop states that it is due to problem with emission. Ac runs hot when vehicle keep turning off. Vehicle acceleration is bad. Vehicle even when running on interstate appear to be having difficulty maintaining speed, appears to be wanting to cut off. Vehicle cuts off in middle of traffic for no particular reason. Started putting premium gas, but gas smells are bad when I run vehicle in garage to warm up. Shop thinks that once charge AC may improve.
2000 Ford Expedition lights complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Vehicle is not shifting into gears correctly. When shifting into park, radio and interior lights come on without operating them. Also, while driving radio and interior lights cut off without operating them. Consumer has contacted dealer. Dealer unable to determine cause of problem. *ak
Headlights shut off on at least three separate occasions while driving on interstate highway and towing a 4x8 ft u-haul trailer with the headlight switch in the autolamp control position. I was following my wife in her vehicle and she observed the headlights would periodically be off for a period of time and then be on again. She mentioned this to me when we stopped at a rest area and I told her I did not turn the headlights off or on . I have left the headlight switch in the autolamp control position since the vehicle was new (past 19 months). That allows me to start the vehicle and drive with the lights on upon starting and the headlights remain on for 12-20 seconds upon turning the ignition off and getting out of the vehilce. I will be taking the vehicle to the local ford dealer in franklin nc on thursday, may 24, 2001 to have them troubleshoot the problem.
Headlights do not seem as bright as other auto I have driven.must use high beam in areas where regular beam should be sufficient. This issue should be addressed by ford as it concerns me. Is power being drained or are light just not powerful enough?
When the signal lights are activated there is no alert sound to let driver know that the blinker is on as there is in the older model vehicles. Dealer contacted, and stated that this vehicle made that way. Also, 4 way hazard flashers are silent. *ak
Headlights are not bright as they should be. Must be lens design. Not as bright as 91 & 96 explorer, 96 jaguar, 1953 sunbeam, 98 f150. Numerous individuals have remarked how bad they are. Have been adjusted by dealer.
The turn signal does not stay engaged (click into the on position) when the steering wheel is turned slightly in either direction.. The problem may seem minor, but I cannot let others know my intention to turn into a driveway or street when the steering wheel is turned slightly (as is the case when rounding a bend). This has been reported to ford's service department and they state that "operation of signals is normal" on a repair order dated 02/24/2000. They also told me that this happens on the ford ranger too. My concern should be investigated because I have had to either take one hand off the steering wheel to "hold down" the turn signal lever, or not signal to other drivers. With the popularity of ford SUV's , the number of potentially dangerous incidents is very high. A massive recall might be in order to allow drivers to operate their vehicles more safely.
