2005 Ford Expedition Engine

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 60MPH AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND SHOWED "CHECK ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL". I WAS NOT ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE. THE TRUCK WORKED FINE AFTER I RESTARTED IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES. WE WERE LUCKY THAT NOBODY HIT US ON THE FREEWAY. THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND 1 ELECTRICIAN SAID THIS A DEFECT AND THEY SEE IT ALL THE TIME WITH THIS ENGINE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON ROAD IN TRAFFIC, THE ENGINE WAS BUCKING AND TURNING OFF, CAUSING TRAFFIC TO SWERVE AROUND ME UNTIL I COULD GET OFF THE ROAD. WARNING LIGHT SAID ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL. TOOK TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING 60-65 MPH, IN THE FAST LINE OF A FOUR LANE INTERSTATE, MY 2005 FORD EXPEDITION SUFFERED ENGINE FAILURE. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET MY CAR OFF THE INTERSTATE WITHOUT HARMING MYSELF OR MY CHILDREN. THE MECHANIC INFORMED US A ROCKER PIN HAD BROKEN AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO A PISTON RESULTING IN THE NEED FOR A NEW ENGINE. I AM REPORTING THE INCIDENT TO YOU BECAUSE WHEN WE PICKED UP OUR CAR AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, HAVING HAD THE ENGINE REPLACED, WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WERE TWO OTHER FORDS (1EXPEDITION AND 1F150) THAT CAME IN AFTER OURS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

DRIVING ON FREEWAY IN MY 2005 FORD EXPEDITION, WHEN I LOST POWER AND BRAKES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. COASTED TO THE SIDE OF FREEWAY. VERY DANGEROUS INCIDENT. *TR

I FILED A COMPLAINT IN OCT (10355191) REQUESTING INFO ON VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS WEEK WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TO WORK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD EXPEDITION. THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO BECOMES VERY STIFF.

UNTIL TODAY I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL FORD VEHICLE OWNER. MY WIFE WAS TAKING OUR THREE CHILDREN TO SCHOOL THIS MORNING AND AS SHE WAS MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY SHE WAS ALERTED TO AN UNFAMILIAR CODE AND ALARM IN THE VEHICLE. BEFORE SHE COULD LOOK AT THE DASHBOARD THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE IN THE ACCELERATION LANE, THE BRAKING AND STEERING BECAME MINIMAL AND SHE WAS LEFT WITH A LITTLE MORE THAN A DISABLED VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. WITH HEAVY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC RAPIDLY APPROACHING HER AND UNSURE WHETHER THEY COULD STOP SHE HAD TO FORCE THE VEHICLE TO THE EDGE OF THE GUARDRAIL. THE VEHICLE WHEN TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED APPEARED NORMAL. I THEN CHECKED PRIOR COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEB SITE AND OTHERS AND AM APPALLED OF THE LACK OF ACTION BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND OTHERS FOR NOT LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE. THE LIVES OF THREE SMALL CHILDREN AND WHOEVER ELSE MAY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS POTENTIAL COLLISION DESERVE TO HAVE FORD ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM. I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM FORD AND WHEN I TALKED ON THE PHONE WITH THEM THIS MORNING, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD JUST "KEEP AN EYE ON IT". WHEN THEY LOOKED ON THE COMPUTER TO INFORM ME MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED 200 MILES AGO THEY CHANGED THEIR MIND AND TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN. PLEASE, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT. I AM A POLICE OFFICER AND SEE TOO MANY FATALITIES DUE TO OTHER CONTRIBUTING FACTORS. I WOULD NOT WANT TO SEE ONE BECAUSE OF AN ORGANIZATION FAILING TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY.

MY 2005 FORD EXPEDITION SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. AN ERROR CODE OF "CHECK ELECTRONIC THROTTLE" DISPLAYS ON THE DASH AND A WARNING SIGNAL SOUNDS. ALL WHILE THE VEHICLE LOSES THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND POWER STEERING. AFTER BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP, IT CRANKS RIGHT UP AS IF THERE WAS NEVER A PROBLEM. IT HAS NOW DONE THIS ABOUT 5 OR 6 TIMES. WE HAVE NEARLY BEEN HIT TWICE BY 18 WHEELERS AS A RESULT OF THIS. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE IN HOPES OF FINDING OUT WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. TO MY HORROR, I FOUND HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ALL LINKED TO THE 2005 FORD EXPEDITION ONLY. I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS TYPE OF COMPLAINT FOR ANY OTHER MODEL YEAR. I'M LEARY OF EVEN TAKING IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR THE PROBLEM AT THIS POINT BECAUSE THE COMMENTS AROUND THE ISSUES HAVE BEEN THAT FORD HAS REPLACED THE "THROTTLE BODY" AND IN SOME CASES IT DIDN'T RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. TO ME IT SOUNDS LIKE A RECALL IS NEEDED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. IT SHOULDN'T TAKE A SEVERE ACCIDENT OR DEATH TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. IT SOUNDS LIKE FORD IS TRYING TO AVOID ISSUING A RECALL ON THIS FROM THE COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE REVIEWED. IF THE 2005 FORD EXPEDITION IS THE ONLY MODEL YEAR AFFECTED, THEN THERE IS SOMETHING THAT WAS PROGRAMMED OR INSTALLED INCORRECTLY ON THE FORD EXPEDITIONS FROM THAT MODEL YEAR. AN INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE INITIATED BEFORE THE FATAL RESULTS THAT TOYOTA HAS HAD RECENTLY BECOME A PART OF FORDS FUTURE, AND ALL BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE IN DENIAL OF A PROBLEM WHICH SHOULD INITIATE A RECALL TO FIX. *TR

ORIGINAL FACTORY SPARK PLUG BACKED OUT FROM CYLINDER HEAD. CHECKED REMAINING 7 SPARK PLUGS. FOUR OF SEVEN LOOSE. MECHANIC RECOMMENDED USING HELI COIL KIT ON ALL SPARK PLUG THREADS. MECHANIC MENTIONED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON FORD 5.4 LITER ENGINES. IF THIS IS TRUE, IT APPEARS AS THOUGH A RECALL SHOULD BE REQUIRED FOR REPAIR OF CYLINDER HEADS. *TR

MY 2005 FORD EXPEDITION WAS CUTTING OFF AND TICKING EVERYDAY, BUT NO LIGHTS WERE COMING ON TO TELL ME WHAT IT WAS, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO PEP BOYS SHOP AND THEY DECLINE TO FIX IT DO TO SPARK PLUGS BREAKING IN THE ENGINE, SO I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT. IT TOOK THEM A WHOLE DAY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT, THEY SAID I NEEDED A TUNE UP WHICH WAS $279, AND HE TOLD ME THAT ALL OF SPARK PLUGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THEY SOMETIMES BREAK OFF IN THE ENGINE AND IF THAT WHERE TO HAPPEN IT WOULD BE A ADDITIONAL $90 PER PLUG, THE COIL NEEDED TO REPLACED $95, AND THE ON OF THE CYLINDER NEED TO BE REPLACED UNKNOWN AMOUNT/FORGOT, THEN THEY CALL ME BACK AND TOLD ME THAT ALL OF THE SPARK PLUGS HAD BROKE. THE FORD DEALERSHIP REPAIRED MY TRUCK CAUSE THERE WHERE OTHER PROBLEMS AS WELL SO TOTAL $1000 IN REPAIRS FOR A PROBLEM THAT I NEVER NEW THIS TRUCK WAS HAVING. *TR

1. THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. THERE IS NO WARNING THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN OR IS HAPPENING. UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, MY 2005 FORD EXPEDITION SIMPLY LOST ALL POWER AND THE WORDS "ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE" APPEARED. 2. THIS OCCURRED TWICE (OCT. 6, 2009 AND NOV. 16, 2009). I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BOTH TIMES BUT DURING THE SECOND INCIDENT, I LOST THE POWER STEERING AS WELL AND STRUGGLED TO PULL OVER. THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS "ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE" IS THAT THE CAR STOPS WORKING. YOU BECOME A SITTING DUCK WHEREVER THE CAR HAS DECIDED TO GO INTO THIS MODE. YOU ARE UNABLE TO ACCELERATE -NOT FUN WHEN THIS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY THE FIRST TIME-AND IF YOU DO NOT LOSE YOUR POWER STEERING, YOU CAN PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. 3. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED FOR APPROXIMATELY $700. NOWHERE IN THE CAR MANUAL DOES IT LET YOU KNOW THAT THIS CODE COULD LEAD TO THIS REPAIR. I HAD A HARD TIME FIGURING OUT WHAT THE CODE MEANT USING THE OWNER MANUAL. THE MOST FRUSTRATING PART OF THIS FAILURE IS THAT IF THIS HAD OCCURRED WHEN I WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, I PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE HERE TO ENTER THIS COMPLAINT. I WOULD LIKE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING TO SOMEONE ELSE. *TR

CAR KEEPS DIES IN TRAFFIC ALMOST EVERYDAY AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON . FORD WANTS $800 TO FIX. WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE, I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD SOME SORT OF ACTION FORD SHOULD TAKE AND FIX THE PROBLEM SINCE IT IS ALWAYS HAPPENING TO THIS YEAR AND MODEL SO OFTEN. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 FORD EXPEDITION WITH 42K MILES AND I WAS GOING 30 MPH WHEN I LOST THE GAS PEDAL(POWER) TO MY VEHICLE. WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN I PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD. LUCKY I WAS NOT HIT FROM BEHIND DUE TO LOSING POWER TO THE ENGINE. TURNED VEHICLE OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN TURNED BACK ON. NO WARNING LIGHT AND TRUCK RAN FINE. TOOK IT TO LOCAL APPLE FORD DEALER WHO FOR $98 TELLS ME I NEED TO SPEND ANOTHER $600 TO REPLACE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. II HAVE NOTICED FROM VARIOUS INTERNET SITES THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THAT IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. AFTER A LONG DISCUSSION WITH SERVICE MANAGER I DECIDED TO DECLINE THE REPAIR UNTIL I CONTACT FORD AND NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY BOARD. SO FAR, THE TRUCK IS STILL RUNNING FINE, BUT I EXPECT IT IS GOING TO DO THE SAME THING AGAIN. THIS IS SOMETHING FORD AND/OR THE FEDERAL GOV.'T SHOULD RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

2005 FORD EXPEDITION - ENGINE DEFAULTS TO "LIMP HOME" MODE WHILE IN TRAFFIC. HAS OCCURRED TWICE SO FAR BUT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO NEGOTIATE GETTING OFF THE ROAD. VEHICLE HAS RESTARTED AFTER SITTING FEW MINUTES. *TR

I RECENTLY TOOK MY 2005 FORD EXPEDITION FOR A TUNE-UP AT A LOCAL SHOP. THE OWNER OF THE SHOP TOLD ME THAT THE SPARK PLUG IN CYLINDER #4 BROKE AND IS STUCK IN THE ENGINE. THE SAFEST WAY TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM IS TO TAKE THE ENGINE HEAD OFF TO TAKE OUT THE BROKEN SPARK PLUG. I DID A RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT FORD'S DESIGN OF THE SPARK PLUGS CAUSES THE THREAD TO SEPARATE FROM THE SPARK PLUG ITSELF LEADING TO THE BREAKING OF THE PLUGS. THERE ARE ALSO INSTANCES WHERE THE SPARK PLUG IS EJECTED FROM THE ENGINE. I TRIED TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY; HOWEVER, THEY REFUSED TO CALL IT A DEFECT IN THEIR SPARK PLUG DESIGNS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS SUDDENLY THE CHECK ENGINE THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT HAS COME ONE. UPON SAFELY PULLING OVER AND RESTARTING THE CAR THE LIGHT GOES OFF AND APPARENTLY THE THROTTLE RESETS. THE DANGER IS THAT WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON THE CAR GOES INTO IDLE ONLY MODE. NO ACCELERATING, ETC. THERE IS NO WARNING THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND NO OTHER REMEDY. THE FIRST TIME I WAS IN A CARPOOL SETTING IDLING. THE SECOND TIME I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE INTERSTATE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A SHOPPING CENTER. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN IF IT HAPPENS ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION AND THERE IS NO KNOWN CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. AFTER READING 100S OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE IT IS APPARENT THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR THE MAKE AND MODEL THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

2005 FORD EXPEDITION WITH ERROR MESSAGE OF 'CHECK ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL'. IT HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES NOW. ENGINE, STEERING AND BRAKING STOP WORKING INSTANTLY. I HAVE TO SHUT TRUCK OFF TO RESTART. ALL TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE GOING 60-70 MILES AN HOUR ON HIGHWAY. FORD HAS CHARGED ME OVER $1200 TO THIS DAY FOR FIXES, BUT NOTHING HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM. THEY ALSO HAVE NO ANSWER AS TO WHY IT KEEPS RECURRING. WHEN THEY HOOK IT UP TO THE COMPUTER, THEY SAY THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD EXPEDITION. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER AND UNDERWENT REGULARLY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AT THE SAME DEALER. AT 94,000 MILES, THE ENGINE FAILED. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE REACHED ABOVE 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD LUNGE FORWARD AND FAIL TO DRIVE SMOOTHLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ONLY ONCE AND THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER HAD TO TEAR APART THE ENGINE IN ORDER TO LOCATE THE FAILURE. AFTER INSPECTION, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE WAS CORRECTED AFTER THE TIMING CHAIN WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ISSUE SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED TO A VEHICLE WITH 90,000 MILES AND LESS THAN FOUR YEARS OLD. THE CONTACT PAID FOR ALL THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,746 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 94,900. UPDATED 02/05/09. *LJ UPDATED 02/10/09. *JB
