My car at times will give a hard start. Turning, but not fully turning over or gives off a sound that I can only describe as an elephant trumpeting. When it does start at times it will shut completely off just as fast. It hesitates to pick up adequate speed and will stumble or jerk, and when put in reverse it will completely stall out. I've had a new battery installed, and the spark plugs and boots have been changed, but to no avail.

Fuel pump driver module failed due to design flaw which caused galvanic corrosion. Aluminum body of component acts as the sacrificial anode for the frame which is steel. This caused my vehicle to stall at 65mph and lose power and thus caused the loss of power steering and hydraulic brake booster while traveling a high rate of speed. This could be especially dangerous on highways, congested areas, or areas with pedestrians such as schools. I have also notified ford of this problem.

This is the 4th time in 5 weeks that my car has shut down while driving and it says "engine fail safe mode". It has been in the shop after the first 3 incidents and different things have been done to it. I just got it out of the shop and it happened the 4th time. So it's going back to shop. I have been fortunate, and have not been in a accident as a result of it shutting down. Looking online it's amazing how many people have experienced this same issue. Why has ford or the federal safety agency not done something about this? Will it take someone getting killed before they take action?

While driving 55mph on interstate 95 in philadelphia, pa with my wife and 2 children the vehicle stopped running and I was dangerously stalled in the middle of interstate 95. The check engine light came on and check electronic throttle message came on. This is a family vehicle and my wife and I refuse to drive it now in fear of this incident occurring again resulting in death or serious injury. Based upon my research, it appears to be a well known problem that occurred to thousands of ford expedition owners. I would appreciate the problem being addressed expeditiously before people are killed and/or injured.
