I went to move my vehicle from the front of my house to the drive way and it wouldn't stop, I pressed on the brake pedal and heard nothing but air as the brake pedal went straight to the floor. I stepped on the emergency brake to stop the vehicle and when I got out.. There was a huge puddle of brake fluid beneath the vehicle.

Twice in last week, driving at slow speed and "engine fail safe mode" light comes on. Lost power, braking, and steering. Forced to put car in neutral while car was rolling to restart. Rolled right thru stop sign. Restarted fine, luckily. In second event, almost got hit when turning left across oncoming traffic! Started turn and couldn't stop turn due to loss of braking. Fortunately, first time I tried the restart in neutral and it worked, otherwise I would have been hit in second event or hit something since I couldn't steer.

2006 ford expedition limited. Consumer writes in regards warranty repair dispute and driver's side power window being extremely slow in the closing operation *tgw the dealer lubed the window and stated there was no problem found. After complaining several times about the window, the dealer finally determined there was a problem. However, the consumer was informed the parts and labor were not covered under the extended warranty. The consumer stated the problem existed going back to dec 11, 2006 and the defect was not addressed or corrected while the vehicle was under the original factory warranty. The consumer stated he should not be responsible for repairs that were callously overlooked and ignored by the dealer. Also, the lower radiator support to the body mount was severely rusted and showed signs of actual material failure. The consumer stated the condition can and will evolve into the root cause of both mechanical and safety related failures. The major body and front frame support failing under driving conditions could lead to engine failure, and loss of control of the vehicle. The most serious safety concern, was the front brake lines which were showing signs of serious rust. The dealer informed the consumer the lines could only be replaced under warranty if there were signs of leakage. The consumer stated corrosion in the form of rust would compromise the integrity of the steel brake lines, allowing brake fluid to leak out resulting in a total loss of braking power. The left rear door would not open from the inside, the driver's front door had to be slammed in order for it to close properly, the front axle drive pinion was leaking and had to be replaced.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 ford expedition. The contact was traveling 35 MPH when the brakes on the vehicle failed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the contact was advised that the brake lines had rusted through. The manufacturer stated that corrosion damage to the vehicle is what caused the brake failure. The contact has filed a complaint with the manufacturer.

I have a 2006 ford expedition and my wife almost lost control and hit a car when the brakes went to the floor. The vehicle has had "spongy brakes" since I bought it and had it to the dealer twice. There is a tsb to replace the front caliper/rotor and pads and ford did this but it still feels spongy and is now leaking fluid. This has been an issue on many expeditions and should have been a recall rather than a tsb. This is an incredibly dangerous situation when the brakes fail. I know I have had instances where I literally need to stand on the brakes to get the vehicle to stop.

August 21 on the way to work (4 mile drive) the truck started to shake and lost power,check engine light came on, we took the truck to the dealer,and they can not figure what is going on,so they said the engine needs to be replaced. The codes are p0022-p0305-p0307-p1184-p2198-p2273 my family just came back from a 3000 trip ,I can only imagine having this happening to us during this time. I been looking for the same type of trouble to this trucks and found that there is a number of similar complaints about having to replace engines ranging from 38,000 miles to about 60,000miles. The price of this cars are well over $35,000 to having to spend another $7,000 with all the problems of our economy right now a normal person like me can not afford another rip off by one of the big companies,like ford. All I'm asking is that they take responsibility for this engine troubles and repair like they supposed to.
