2007 Ford Expedition: check engine light

Filed Jan 29, 2018 · Engine, Fuel system · 123,800 miles · MD

My truck was purchased new and I have recently had more fuel gas waste quickly in the past year. I recently had the fuel line changed in june 2017 because a spark plug burnt out and caused it to have a leak that was dangerously close to the gas tank. I have 123k miles on it and the check engine line comes on every time after half a gas tank is done. I had the truck driving and it shuts off on its own. Sometimes it will have a strong shaking of the motor or no warning at all while driving on the road. I'm very concerned because we thought it was the camshaft which is what the error code pops up and the spark plugs and coils have been replaced. Every thing else has been maintained but I'm still have the engine and fuel problem. The gas goes so fast and this is a v8 where I usually drive a 6 mile to work now says it has been a 40 mile drive. Don't know what else to do and may take it back to trade for another vehicle brand. I had to park the truck after it shut off on me again on a side street before getting on the highway.

I have the 5.4 engine in my 2007 ford expedition with only 70,000 miles which I purchased in 2007. I am now experiencing cam sensor problems, throttle body problems and need major repairs. I have visited many sites and understand that ford has been sued because of complaints with this particular engine and nothing came from this suit. This started around 2-3 weeks ago, I had been traveling for 2-1/2 hours and just pulled off the highway to enter into my housing plan, when my car lost rpms, became very rough, and then stalled. When the vehicle is on open it road it rides great until you slow down and the RPM falls, then it stumbles and stalls. I had at the dealership a couple of times, but until check engine light came on, I could not get it diagnosed. Over the weekend the check engine light finally lite and as I stated it is the cam position senors and states that the systems too rich. I talked with a ford rep today and this will be about a $2000 repair bill, but until I can get it to them and they place on their computer, they cannot give me their final estimate if it can be repaired or I need a new engine. I have many misgivings about this since all that I have read on the internet about all the problems with this particular engine. Ford should be held accountable for a faulty engine, and buyers should be made aware of this problem especially when they are buying a used vehicle from a ford dealership who is definitely aware of this problem.

2007 ford expedition. Began to spit and sputter going 45mph. Engine light came on. Took to auto shop for repair. Cost was $1,100 to replace 8 spark plugs and wires. Ford used a defective spark plug in this vehicle. The plug breaks off in the engine when removing them. Ford knew of the issue and did nothing about it. This issue with these plugs began in early 2000's. Ford should have recalled these plugs long ago. There are many class action lawsuits ongoing related directly to the faulty spark plug. If I had know about the plugs before I bought the truck, I would have had ford replace them before I even drove it.

While driving the traction control light will come on..causing the car to shutter and shake, while this is happening, it is like the brakes do not work. I have taken it to the shop multiple times nothing can be done because they can not get a code because the check engine light is not on. I will not allow my children to drive this car because it is to dangerous...it has since had the traction control light on followed by a wrench and the check engine light came on now it will not go over 30 MPH, it is sitting at the ford dealer as we speak. I have been dealing with this for the last 3 years. This all may have been prevented had the problem been found sooner. At this point I am considering to surrender my car, I would rather have a hit on my credit than something happening to my family while in this vehicle!!!

While driving on the interstate or fwy at about 55-60 MPH - I start to increase in speed, while going with the flow of traffic my expedition eddie bauer model spurts/hesitates/loses power "but never cuts off" every time before the speed increases. We took it to the ford dealer several times an they are unable to determine what is wrong with the vehicle. The ford dealer told us they can't do not about it until the engine light comes on. We suggested to the ford dealer that it maybe the fuel filter or o2 sensor but they told us this model vehicle does not have a fuel filter and our o2 sensors are good. My issue is why should I have to wait till the vehicle breaks down when it does this all the time.

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.
