As soon as you start the vehicle the battery symbol displays on the dash, it goes on and off chiming repeatedly, then switches from battery symbol to wrench symbol and then my entire gauge cluster starts. Every light goes on and off repeatedly, the RPM gauge and MPH drops to zero and the engine clunks really loud (while driving), the AC or heat will completely turn off and on, the headlights flicker and dim on and off at night while driving, bad vibration, loud growl type idle sound, the radio shuts off, when you turn the heater on it repeatedly clunks in the rear of the vehicle until you turn AC on again or shut it off, rear air suspension light goes on and off while driving. This all happens whenever it wants. I shut off the car and restart and the problem will stay gone and drive normal until it cools again and then restart the vehicle. This vehicle has been tested at 3 shops and turned away by all because they don't know where to start as they are scanning the vehicle and 17 codes came up. They started testing each item with a code and all came back as functioning properly. So I believe it's either electrical or one of the brains/computers of the vehicle?. It is becoming a safety concern and I need help.

Intensity of the lighting supplied to the electronic message center (which displays mileage, odometer, remaining fuel mileage, fuel economy, compass, etc.) is provided through a photo cell on the dashboard. It is wired incorrectly, so that high intensify light (as in daylight) reduces the amount of light displayed. This is backwards. It makes all functions of the electronic message center (odometer, etc.), impossible to read in normal daylight conditions. Local ford dealership tells me that this problem is common to a significant number of ford cars and trucks for several years, including and more recently than 2007. A letter to ford did not provide any suggestions for repair. In order to read anything on this display in normal light, it is necessary to duck your head down and stare at it for about ten or more seconds. If this action has not yet caused any fatalities, I can't imagine why. Updated 10/24/2014

Car horn sounding repeatedly, lights flashing, dash electrical indicators flashing, etc. Car will not start. Unless car remains locked, these events occur over and over throughout the day and night. Car is completely unusable. This is a known defect that ford will not acknowledge nor correct and it has continued to build vehicles with this design flaw. The federal safety agency closed this issue with no action.

My expedition just turned off while driving about 45 MPH, I felt my seat go back and the lock out light was flashing on the dash. Thought would be a simple fix when the ford mechanic looked at it said a wire hit the frame and burnt out the entire fuse box . 4 grand out of pocket!
