I own a 2003 for expedition. It recently came to my attention that I do not have to actually apply my brake to move my car from park to reverse. I only have to barely touch the brake pedal and can put the vehicle in reverse. I feel that this can be very dangerous should a child be left alone in a running vehicle. Hen I took the vehicle to the dealer he later informed me that all 2003's do this.*ak I contacted ford motor company but, also feel it is necessary to inform you and ask for your assisstance in this matter.
Grinding noise in the rear axle when turning left or right after vehicle has set overnight or for a long enough period so axle components cool down to ambient temperature. I have had vehicle in for service 4 times and it spent almost 3 weeks in the shop. Problemseemed to be fixed after last visit, but noise has reappeared again. Sounds worse. Vehicle will now be going in for the fifth time for the same problem. There is something wrong, but I cannot get ford to admit anything.
While parked on a slight incline the vehicle coasted backwards without warning.
The vehicle experienced a severe vibration, when the gear was transferred to 4-wheel drive, the dealer was unable to fix the problem. *ak
While driving at highway speeds advance track system light illuminated, then all electrical components started to flash. Heard a rattling noise, pulled over, turned off engine to see what problem was, and vehicle would not restart. Took vehicle to dealer, and they stated it was the alternator.
While driving 60 MPH consumer tried to increase speed, vehicle would not accelerate. Vehicle was towed to dealer, it was determined that transfer case needed to be replaced.
