2006 Ford Expedition engine problems

Filed Jan 8, 2024 · Engine, Fuel system · CA

the service engine light continues to turn on. the timing belt continues to fail and has already been replaced once. the camshaft on both sides have been replaced. the solenoids have also been replaced and the diagnostics codes still pop up (p0022) (p0021) are just some that i can remember. the engine does not have enough power on the driver side and throws the timing belt off which causes the loud rattle coming from the engine. when reaching the speed of 40-45 mph the truck begins to shake. recently in november 2023, when fueling up with gas , the truck began to shake and not respond. when accelerating, the truck takes off very slowly and the gears dont kick in on time. when the gas light comes on , the truck begins to function well. but as soon as i put gas again. it feels like the truck is going to fall apart. the driver door gets stuck when trying to open from the inside. the back door on the left does not open from the outside. the gear handle can be moved up and down while the truck is not turned on. please help!!

Tamara recall

Filed Aug 5, 2017 · Engine · 172,000 miles · WY

Ford had a recall for broken spark plugs & a class action lawsuit on this vehicle. Ford has failed to fully compensate us & told me hardly no one would receive compensation. We replaced the plugs with ford approved revised plugs at ford with @ 149k miles on 11/2015. The engine codes or problems would come up now and again & we had it into various vendors.. 2/ 2017, driving back to wyoming I came up an I was under load (hauling a trailer) and the auto almost did not make it home or up a grade. We took it in to replace the coils. The vendor, midway motors replaced the coil & noticed the new revised ford approved spark plug 5 was broken, and plug 6 also showed a code, (mileage 172627 miles). The engine was damaged so we traded the ford in for a dodge. My point ford has not fixed the issue & is deceiving the public. And 2nd lawsuit claim form is [xxx] . The vehicle was kept in like new shape pristine. I was sad I had to trade it in but did not feel safe. I think you need to know how ford is practicing and not handling ethically, legally, or properly; both the class action lawsuit and also the (revised spark plugs are also failing). Yes I have detailed documents!! Ask me I can email you pdf [xxx] [xxx] . Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'

While in traffic, at least 100 times in the last four years (at variable speeds from 5 to 65 MPH on city streets and freeways) most recently twice in the last week, the rpms drop below 500 and the vehicle dies and "engine failsafe mode" lights up on the dash. I have to either coast to pull over or dead stop in the middle of the road. I have to turn the vehicle completely off (even though in failsafe mode engine is off, the electronics are still on) and then restart and then it will drive just fine until it happens again. It happens anywhere from once every 6 months to 6 times in 1 week. It seems as though if I drive with both feet in traffic and maintain about 800-1000 rmps at all times it doesn't do this, however this cannot be done all the time especially when trying to stop the large vehicle quickly or turning in an intersection. Nothing has been diagnosed by dealership as no codes are thrown. I also own a obd2 reader and no codes have ever listed unless its time to change the spark plugs. Several different mechanics, forums and brainstorming has not figured it out. I have replaced mostly everything with exception to a new transmission and computer. Mostly everything including wires and vacuum lines and gaskets have been replaced due to maintenance or repairs from everything else that has gone wrong with it. I have put about $10k into new parts for this vehicle. I bought it with 60k miles on it and it now has 117k, its a daily driver with 28 miles of travel 5 days a week. Also the only vehicle that fits all of the children for soccer, track and volleyball traveling tournaments/games. Luckily it doesn't happen very often when I'm not in traffic so the kids aren't usually with me but it is very scary not to know if you are going to stop or if the people behind you are going to hit you or not.
