2006 Ford Expedition: grinding or squealing brakes

Filed Jul 11, 2017 · 68,000 miles · CA

At approximately 45 miles an hour there is a grinding noise that sounds like the transmission. If I speed up it goes away. After drive for awhile the overdive light starts to blink. If I turn off the engine the light stops blinking. The car performs much better with the overdive off. Had the transmission rebuilt and it didn't solve the problem. The transmission shop says the problem is not in the transmissuon itself. Ford dealer recommended changing the trottle senson, $100 later that didn't work. Mechanics in town can't figure it out. It sounds like 2 gears trying to engage, thus the grinding noise. When I drive with the overdrive off it happens at a higher speed. Always happens when drivi g up a long incline. Going crazy with this problem.

Low driver side tire indicator sounded a few hours prior to accident where vehicle flipped over 4 times 70-80 feet end over end bounced off a telephone pole then landed in the opposite lane back wards. The low tire indicator had gone off twice to which the tire was taken to the station to be refilled up to air pressure as recommended by the service manual. Driving speed was close to 50 MPH on a slightly rural road with not many turns mostly straightaways. Just coming out of a small right turn the tire must have lost air jerked the steering causing the vehicle to roll over end over end cartwheeling and landing in 4 spots according to tire marks on the road itself each double lined mark was on the center line of the road about 70-80 feet apart before hitting the pole and bouncing the vehicle into the opposite lane facing the other direction. Where upon aide of others it could not be restarted and the drivers side tire was completely unusable. The vehicle broke out 3 windows and the windshield is wasted, can be started but grinds when put in gear, can not be driven even after tire replacement.

Purchased vehicle in january 2006, brand new from the dealer. Shortly thereafter, the back window was leaking. Had the back window repaired, still leaks. The seal on both the driver and passenger's front windows were missing. Took the vehicle back 3 times before this was fixed. After that, the engine began making a loud grinding noise. Vehicle has been back in the shop at least 3 times, one time they kept it for a week, claim they can not duplicate. They then decided it was the A/C compressor and we should have the A/C off when starting the vehicle. Tried it, does not work. Now that the vehicle is out of warranty, it is making the loud grinding noise even more. At one point, we were told by a salesman that we should just call roadside assistance if we break down while on vacation. Just what we wanted was to have our vacation ruined by a ford screw up. The dealer won't acknowledge that there is a problem and won't fix it. On top of that the dvd entertainment system that came with the vehicle won't stay closed, the cover over the motor for the third seat has come detached and doesn't fold up right and the air conditioner is warm when sitting still. All problems that a major corporation should not have on a vehicle that has been on the market for several years. Would really like all the problems completely fixed or a replacement. Driver's side airbag did not deploy when had very hard frontal impact either.

The vehicle (2006 ford expedition - eddie bauer) has had for the last 8 months of purchasing it, grinding noise to the start when it does start and this happens about 4-5 times a week, driver side window rattles and screeches when rolled up and down, the back seats rattle, the back glass leaks. The vehicle has been taken to the shop a total of 5 times and was worked on the second time and after that they can't duplicate the problem any more but the problem is still there. They don't, won't or want to work on it anymore. We want a replacement or re-purchase of the vehicle.
