1 . After a left turn the vehicle continues to pull left (measured at about 4 pounds of force on the steering wheel to hold straight) until a right turn is made to cancel the left pull then it tracks straight. There were similar results on right turns but worse on lefts. 2 . These tests were also done on another new ford platinum expedition identically equipped with the same results (both with heavy duty tow package) 3 . The new expedition above did seem to require a little less right corrective pressure than our expedition but the left pull was approximately the same 4 . These tests were done with and without lane keeping with no change to the results 5 . These tests were done with and without sway control with no change to the results 6 . Approximate trailer weight 6000 lbs. And approximately 600 lbs. Tongue weight 7 . During the left pull the vehicle will 'blow' through the lane keeper on the left but works ok on the right 8. Tests were also made with a totally different trailer and hitch system with the same problem. 9. The tests were done with and without load transfer bars. The left pull remained after a left turn but was a bit less without the load transfer bars attached (that was surprising). 10. Ford has replaced the entire steering system (including rack and pinion unit with steering control module and yaw sense module) after they checked all wheel alignments with no improvement in steering problem. 11. This problem also happens with no trailer in tow just not to the same extent. 12. Ford has now refused to do anything more to resolve the steering problem. Note: I do have video for this problem on the road.

When we bought the vehicle it had 22 inch chrome wheels and tires. It also wandered all over the road. We bought new stock sized rims and new stock sized tires. It still wanders all over the road. We had it aligned. It still wanders all over the road. Google shows many, many complaints regarding these vehicles' suspension, blaming rusting rear lower trailing arms and in one case a left stabilizer link broke. I have not crawled under the car as it is my sister's and she lives a ways away, but she wants to sell it and is worried if it is something major someone may get hurt. We can be driving straight down the road from 25mph to 60mph and the vehicle just sort of feels like the back end is not in line with the front or something and it just tries to change lanes on its own.

Was driving my 2007 ford expedition on highway when low tire pressure light came on. Exited hgwy @ next exit & checked all tires & added air to left front tire which was low & proceeded on to airport approx. 10-15 mins away. After driving approx. 10 mins after stopping I was fighting truck pulling left on interstate. When I arrived curbside at the airport, I exited the vehicle to find that the left front tire was almost completely flat & was separating ready to have a blow out. The tire was changed out for the spare & upon arriving back home, my husband & I inspected the tire for any foreign object in tread only to find none & then told my husband of the news story about faulty valve stems but no recall issued. So with the bad tire full of air laying in driveway he touched the valve & the air started rushing out. We have the issue with the valve stem that you are investigating. We do not know if any of the remaining tires are ok or not as the truck is to be taken to ford tomorrow. We do not feel we should have to buy any tires as I did what I was suppose to do & the stem failed causing me to ruin a good tire and will have to have not 1 but 2 new tires. Please help us consumers fight for all the money we spend trying to buy american & support our country with hard earned money. Someone could die as a result of their pig headedness.
