While exiting the bypass the traction assist came on for no reason causing the truck to shake and almost felt like the truck accelerated as I hit the break. It was on a turn but I was actually going under the speed limit on dry road. Starting to have more problems with this vehicle to the point it is troubling me to even drive or have my kids in or around the vehicle and wanted to get it on record. Will be posting other incidents that have occured since I have owned this vehicle which is only a month this week.
2007 Ford Expedition driver assistance complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Leaving my neighborhood going 20-25 MPH. Pavement was dry. Slight downhill incline. Put my foot on the brake. Brake started pulsating rapidly. Brake was resisting me pressing it by pushing my foot back up with pulsating action. Truck would not stop. Could have rear ended the car in front of me or went into a 4 lane highway. Pulled out onto the highway proceeded down another downhill incline about 45 MPH. Put my foot on the brake to slow down again the brakes started pulsating and did not work. Had to stand on the brakes pushing against the brake rapid pulsation to get the truck slowed to turn into a parking lot. Traction control sliding car icon was flashing. Took to dealership 10/28/10. Dealer could not find any codes or malfunction. Dealer said the traction control system "rsc" resets itself periodically and will most likely do this again. This is a dangerous time for a bake or tracking control system to reset leaving one without brakes. Personally I don't believe their excuse. Ford has a seriously dangerous problem with the traction control system. Seems others have had this same problem reference to odi id # 10220899. Also other complaints under the tracking control system odi id# 10332619 and 10321582. Also from surfing the ford enthusiast web site, and other web sites, a lot more people are having this problem and are not being reported.
Traction control lamp lights, truck shutters.
Road conditions-wet; outside temp.-46deg. (march 23, 2010 mileage at incident occurance - 68659) upon driving the vehicle the traction control warning light(rsc) will sudden appear alternating with a wrench warning light, which then disables the ability to accelerate (even with the pedel depressed to the floor). When this occurs it forces me to have to immediately pull over to side of the road for safety. When this occurs the engine is still running as well as all the electronics and no check engine light appears. This issue has happened multiple times and has been brought to the ford dealership for invesitigation, they have been unable to reproduce the issue while in the shop, since there are no codes to check they are unable to fix the issue. No parts have been repair or replaced. I feel as though if this were to happen while in the high speed lane on the highway, this would cause a serious situation in which an accident may occur and I fear for the safety of my family or anyone that drives this vehicle. All service on this vehicle has been done at the ford dealership while under warranty (75k extended warranty). The last time this specific issue occurred was may 2009 mileage was 54494. In total this problem as occured 6 times since I have owned the vehicle.
While driving on dry pavement at approximately 25-35 MPH the traction control light will start to illuminate randomly. Eventually staying on constantly. Pushing the traction control button will not turn off the light. Turning off the car and starting it again will make it go away. One time when this happened the ABS brakes engaged and the brakes had significantly reduced stopping power. I took it straight to the dealer and they did not see any error codes in the system.
The sliding car icon displays quite often, always on dry pavement. Usually for a short time during that time the brakes do not operate properly. They act as though the ABS have engaged themselves and make it almost impossible to stop. It has happened over 10 times to me in the 15 months that I have owned the truck. The dealer checked the problem and reported that there was nothing wrong.
