My car at times will give a hard start. turning, but not fully turning over or gives off a sound that i can only describe as an elephant trumpeting. when it does start at times it will shut completely off just as fast. it hesitates to pick up adequate speed and will stumble or jerk, and when put in reverse it will completely stall out. i've had a new battery installed, and the spark plugs and boots have been changed, but to no avail.
The car turns off. i need to put the car in park wait a few minutes then turn the car back on and it works. the bad thing is it can happen at any time.
I was driving and all of a sudden steering wheel locked and my car literally shut off while i was driving.. i coasted to the side and i turned off car.. tried to turn it back on and it kept cranking and i kept doing it like 5 times until it started back up. sure it is a 2005, but it has been giving me problems since i got it, now it is worse. i don't believe it is wear and tear i actually replaced the whole engine 4 years after i bought my car which is ridiculous to begin with. if my car burns up while i am driving i will really make a stink..
Vehicle vibrates badly especially at highway speeds. vibration is so bad, the vehicle rocks side-to-side while driving. driving at highway turnpike speed of 75mph, vehicle engine began to surge and then completely shut down. oil pressure gauge indicated low oil pressure and vehicle would not start. vehicle still had electrical function but engine no longer would turn over. checked engine oil level and had engine oil. called highway patrol and had to have the vehicle towed. *tr
This car just numerous of problem..... who ever built this car did not have a good job of doing it
Engine makes rattling noise and missing badly
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 ford expedition. while driving 30 mph, the vehicle vibrated abnormally and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 120,000. the vin was not available.
My engine said fail safe mode. my spark plugs got stuck in engine costing me 1000 to fix.
My 2005 expedition is maintained normally and spark plugs changed and the engine will either cut off or slow down to about 30 miles an hour while i am on the highway with a error message fail save mode. most times when i shut off the engine and restart it turns over but doesn't stay on. totally unsafe for me and my family. please research and recall what the issue is! this issue has started about 4 years after we purchased the vehicle and has been happening maybe one to two times a month since.
For many time that my expedition has stalled because of the throttle body failing. the engine goes into safe mode and stalls and stops, thi is very danger situation
I have a 2005 ford expedition and have maintained my vehicle maintenance and only have 124,000 miles on this vehicle. it continues to shut off the engine and code fail safe mode on code appear and when i'm driving on the highway it is dangerous. after reading so many complaints this is unsafe. also, the computer issues with locking doors, failure of the transmission (which i had to replace) such a disappointment of a vehicle. ford should recall engine and computer issues. i purchased this vehicle brand new $50,000 + and have not be able to depend on the stability since i've had it.
My 15 year old son and my life were placed in serious danger, by the gross negligence and deceptive business practices promoted by the ford motor company, regarding scan code p2106. since as early as february 26, 2013 ford motor company was made aware of a dangerous defect concerning the mechanical and electrical components of their manufactured product released to the consumer public for profit. the vehicles are ford trucks, manufactured from 2003 - 2008, with the v8 5.4 l engine. public record reveals case no. 12-7222, jason schmidt, (plaintiff) vs. ford motor company, (defendant) filed in the united states district court for the eastern district of pennsylvania, that ford motor company is well aware of this issue. i believe that ford motor company has made no attempts to inform ford dealership owners, the ford dealership managers or ford service repair shop managers at the ford dealerships and consumers who had already purchased their manufactured product of the issue. this issue is very dangerous, i was traveling 70 mph, with my son in the truck. ford motor company has gone on record, via telephone conversation, explaining to me that; "ford motor company has no control over ...
Since purchasing the expedition in december 2014, i've had several incidents of "check engine throttle" warnings and the engine shut down, suddenly. this seems to also have a secondary issue of the truck hesitating/sputtering around 40-50mph. the vehicle has shut down on me in city traffic quite a few times and once on an exit ramp of the highway. this is a very dangerous situation to experience. the dealer mentioned possible spark plug issues. when the "check engine" icon finally came on, i had it read by the dealer and an independent mechanic. the code is a p2104. the dealer never got back to me on a remedy for this. the mechanic says the electronic throttle control must be replaced and could be the cause of both issues. both have been reported to the dealer before their warranty expired. i'm finding the repair could cost about $700. an issue of the engine shutting off, regardless of speed, while driving is very dangerous. the truck must be placed in park, turned off, the re-started before continuing my drive. the scariest was upon an exit ramp of the highway at approximately 30mph. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 ford expedition. while driving at various speeds, the engine stalled. the vehicle was taken to a dealer, who diagnosed that the throttle body sensor needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 121,800.
This is the 4th time in 5 weeks that my car has shut down while driving and it says "engine fail safe mode". it has been in the shop after the first 3 incidents and different things have been done to it. i just got it out of the shop and it happened the 4th time. so it's going back to shop. i have been fortunate, and have not been in a accident as a result of it shutting down. looking online it's amazing how many people have experienced this same issue. why has ford or nhtsa not done something about this? will it take someone getting killed before they take action? *tr
