OWN A 2005 FORD EXPEDITION, IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS AT ABOUT A RATE OF ONCE/MONTH THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF LOSS OF POWER WITH DIFFICULTY STEERING, THE VEHICLE HAS INDICATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL IS THE ISSUE. ONCE I'M ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART WITHIN A FEW MINUTES AND ABLE TO CONTINUE UNTIL THE NEXT INCIDENT WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED THROUGH THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS IN REFERENCE TO THIS SAME ISSUE WITH SOME INVOLVING ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE INADVERTENT LOSS OF POWER. I HAVE CONTACTED THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY WILL ONLY TELL ME THAT THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO COVER THIS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

WHEELS
ON 6/22, THE RIGHT WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLY FAILED WHILE TRAVELING ~20 MPH. AS A RESULT, A FIRE OCCURRED. I PUT THE FIRE OUT IN OUR DRIVEWAY AT HOME WITH A WATER HOSE. SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE OCCURRED TO THE RIGHT WHEEL ASSEMBLY, BEARING HOUSING, 1/E AXLE, ROTOR, CALIPER, BRAKE PADS, EMERGENCY BRAKE, ETC...LUCKILY, WERE CLOSE TO HOME AND WERE NOT TRAVELING 70 MPH. NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES AS MY WIFE AND I WERE ABLE TO GET ALL OF OUR CHILDREN OUT OF THE EXPEDITION SAFELY. OUR EXPEDITION IS A 2004. *TR
