2003 Ford Expedition Power Train

HUMMING NOISE FROM FRONT DIFFERENTIALS. SPRING REQUIRED TO BE ADDED TO FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. REAR DIFFERENTIAL ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO PARTS MISSING FROM FACTORY ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. ALL THIS HAPPEN WITHIN 2,000 MILES OF PURCHASE ON MY 2003 FORD EXPEDITION.

WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WITHOUT WARNING CONSUMER HEARD LOUD NOISES. DEALERSHIP MECHANIC INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THE LOUD NOISES WERE DUE TO REAR DRIVESHAFT FAILURE. *AK

WHILE PARKED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE THE VEHICLE COASTED BACKWARDS WITHOUT WARNING. *NLM

I OWN A 2003 FOR EXPEDITION. IT RECENTLY CAME TO MY ATTENTION THAT I DO NOT HAVE TO ACTUALLY APPLY MY BRAKE TO MOVE MY CAR FROM PARK TO REVERSE. I ONLY HAVE TO BARELY TOUCH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND CAN PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE. I FEEL THAT THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS SHOULD A CHILD BE LEFT ALONE IN A RUNNING VEHICLE. HEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER HE LATER INFORMED ME THAT ALL 2003'S DO THIS.*AK I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY BUT, ALSO FEEL IT IS NECESSARY TO INFORM YOU AND ASK FOR YOUR ASSISSTANCE IN THIS MATTER.

CONSUMER SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION GEAR INTO REVERSE, BUT VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE IN REVERSE. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED.*AK

CLUTCH FAILED, CAUSING THE TIRES TO PRODUCE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN TURNING.*AK

GRINDING NOISE IN THE REAR AXLE WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT AFTER VEHICLE HAS SET OVERNIGHT OR FOR A LONG ENOUGH PERIOD SO AXLE COMPONENTS COOL DOWN TO AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. I HAVE HAD VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE 4 TIMES AND IT SPENT ALMOST 3 WEEKS IN THE SHOP. PROBLEMSEEMED TO BE FIXED AFTER LAST VISIT, BUT NOISE HAS REAPPEARED AGAIN. SOUNDS WORSE. VEHICLE WILL NOW BE GOING IN FOR THE FIFTH TIME FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG, BUT I CANNOT GET FORD TO ADMIT ANYTHING.*AK

WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH CONSUMER TRIED TO INCREASE SPEED, VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT TRANSFER CASE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.*AK
