| 1997 | SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY:HANGER,BRACKET | PULLING THROUGH A PARKING LOT I FELT A BUMP. AFTER PASSING OVER THE "BUMP" I LOOKED BACK TO SEE MY SPARE TIRE SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT. THE END OF THE CABLE THAT HOLDS THE BRACKET FOR THE TIRE TO BE HELD IN PLACE WAS FRAYED. THE PEICE WHICH HOLDS THE BRACKET WAS GONE. AFTER CALLING MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP I WAS ADVISED THIS WOULD COST ME $200.00 TO REPLACE THE CABLE. A FIVE YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE A CABLE FRAY UNDER IT. IF I HAD BEEN GOING 70 MPH THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT. DT |
| 2001 | STEERING | I JUST PURCHASED A 2001 FORD EXPEDITION EDDIE BOWER EDITION AND THE FRONT END SQUEAKS. SO I ACCESSED THIS SITE AND FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME CONDITION. AFTER READING THESE COMPLAINTS, I AM WORRIED THAT MINE WILL DO THE SAME THING. I'M CONSIDERING PARKING THE VEHICLE AND NEVER USING IT AGAIN. SOMEONE NEEDS TO FORCE FORD TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND HAVE THEM REPAIR THE PROBLEMS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. TO HAVE THE FRONT END REPAIRED ON MY EXPEDITION WOULD COST AT LEAST $1500.00 OR MORE. I AM ON DISABILITY AND CANNOT AFFORD THESE REPAIRS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS SUCH. ALL VEHICLES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DESIGNED WITH THE SAFETY OF, NOT ONLY THE PASSENGERS IN MIND, BUT ALSO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. THE COST OF THE REPAIRS TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY WOULD BE MINOR COMPARED TO THE LOSS OF LIFE AND TO THE DAMAGES TO HUMANS AND VEHICLE(S) IN AN ACCIDENT. I DON'T WANT TO GET RID OF MY EXPEDITION, I JUST WANT IT SAFE AND TO BE REPAIRED PROPERLY. *TR |
