While driving my expedition el on the highway and rounding a curve at 65 MPH, the engine died without any warning. Fortunately, I was able to put the transmission into neutral and coast to a stop in a safe location. The engine would not start for several minutes, but then started and ran normally. I drove it straight to the dealer and dropped it off. The dealer diagnosed it as a fuel pump failure, and informed me that the part was on backorder and they could not guarantee a delivery date. I have been without my car for 5 weeks, and have spoken with the service manager and ford customer service reps on several occasions. After first offering to help with car rental expenses, I have now been told that they will not assist me with rental expenses. They also have not been able to advise a date when the part will be available so I can get my car back. My $40,000 car is now worth nothing, I can't even sell it. From what I have been able to find out, this is a common failure with this fuel pump design. I would like ford to order a recall, pay for the repairs, and cover my car rental expenses until they can repair my car.

The "check engine light" has come on 6 times since my 2008 ford expedition limited was purchased in february 2008, requiring a trip to the dealer each time. Exhaustive checks by ford service personnel initially centered on the gas cap, however, even after the gas cap was replaced, the same symptom occurred several times. Only after a determined inspection by ford service personnel was the trouble diagnosed as a faulty fuel tank which provided a poor sealing surface for the fuel pump o-ring. The fuel tank was replaced, and the trouble disappeared.
