I purchased a 2007 Expedition a couple of years ago with 67000 miles. I've been having several issues with it but I figured it was just because it was a used vehicle. I maintain my car very well getting all of the service it needs done. On 4/12/15 I was in the car with my two daughters and it just stopped in the middle of the road without warning. This was an extremely dangerous situation and we all we very afraid. Luckily the car behind us was not too close and was able to prevent a very serious accident. I am being told that the problem is related to the fuel pump. I filed a complaint with Ford on 4/15/15. All I was given was an apology and told that there was nothing that they could do at this time. Little did I know that there would be a major recall just yesterday, 4/29, for the same issue with their newer vehicles. …
My truck was purchased new and I have recently had more fuel gas waste quickly in the past year. I recently had the fuel line changed in June 2017 because a spark plug burnt out and caused it to have a leak that was dangerously close to the gas tank. I have 123K miles on it and the check engine line comes on every time after half a gas tank is done. I had the truck driving and it shuts off on its own. Sometimes it will have a strong shaking of the motor or no warning at all while driving on the road. I'm very concerned because we thought it was the camshaft which is what the error code pops up and the spark plugs and coils have been replaced. Every thing else has been maintained but I'm still have the engine and fuel problem. The gas goes so fast and this is a v8 where I usually drive a 6 mile to work now says it has been a 40 mile drive. …
I left to go grocery shopping around noon this March. About 15 min. Into my drive going up a hill on a highway and right after passing a car that was doing about 50 in a 70 MPH zone, my car just died while topping the hill. I had no power steering, and no breaks. Thankfully I have had car with out power steering and knew it was going to be tough to get it on the shoulder before being hit by the semi that was behind me. It would not start or do anything after that so I popped the hood to check my fuses. And found out it was the fuel pump fuse. I had over a quarter tank of gas left and no warning as to any problem with my car. I check all my fluids on the regular and have oils changed when needed. When the fuel tank was pulled all the wires on the pump were melted. Lucky it dudnt catch fire, and the part to replace this is ridiculously expensive.
