We have classified the 2 complaints from 2005 Ford Expedition about EQUIPMENT into the following categories.
Stopped at a traffic light intersection to make a right turn. while i was making the right turn about 5 mph, the 2005 ford expedition stalled and all the lights went on. i waited for about 10 seconds to turn on the car. the car started. i stopped 5 minutes later to stop the engine to see if everything was ok. it took two tries to start the engine. i took it to a ford dealer the next day to get it inspected. they claim it was the "throttle position sensor". i got that replaced for ~$340.00. *tr
Our 2005 ford expedition has shut off without warning twice now. the first time this happened we were driving back from missouri to virginia after the holidays in january of this year. we were on the interstate driving about 70 mph when the car just stopped and the check engine light came on. we called ford and they said to let it sit for 30 minutes and then try to start the car again. we did and it worked. the technician explained that it may have been the cold weather. just yesterday 12 sept 2010 my wife was driving home from work when the car shut off on its own again and the check engine light illuminated. she waited a few minutes and the car started again. the cold had nothing to do with it yesterday. both times we were forced to coast to the side of the road in heavy traffic. living in the dc area and using interstate 95 on a sunday afternoon is always a challenge. having your vehicle just stop running is insane. i am unable to find anything about a recall, but in a search of the web i found numerous owners having a similar issue. what is ford doing about this? *tr
I have a 2005 expedition and it just cut off! i was driving about 40 miles per hour and it just cut off while i was pressing on the gas. i had to coast off the side of the road. i almost got in an accident! a warning alert said check electronic throttle and i could not move it and just stop and died. i waited about 5 minutes and tried to start my car again and it started. the engine light was on and took it to autozone and the diagnostic says that the throttle is stuck. this happened to me last year around about the same time and just went away. the year before i brought the car from the dealership and it did this to me 3 days after i bought it. i took it back to get it repaired and they fixed it no charge. now they are trying to charge me. it cost 700 dollars everytime this part goes out. why should i have to keep getting this repaired? there should be a recall on this vehicle (electric throttle). there are plenty of complaints about this part. please investigate and see for yourselves. if you do research on how may time people have to go for repeat repair, i am sure it would be off the charts. it has a poor design. it could potentially get some killed, if not already. i was in the car with my children and i was scared! *tr
