| The spark plug exploded from the cylinder head due to a mechanical defect in my cylinder head, and my expedition is the only vehicle i own which legally fits all of my children in their booster seats. the ford motor company won't fix the problem unless i pay them $750, which i don't have, and don't believe i should have to pay to fix their defect. *tr | |||

| Underbody spare tire carrier/winch cable failed causing the spare to fall into the road. i believe that there is a small metal piece pressed onto the end of the cable which broke off. no accident or injury resulted but if the tire had fallen at highway speed it could have killed someone. *nm | |||

| On 3 occasions this year,2005 ( july, november and december) when humidity is really high, and/or snow would cover my 2001 ford expedition, i would have unexplainable electrical problems. either my headlight won't shut off, the blower would not shut when turning engine off, power windows wont work, seated heat won't work, abs light would turn on. an unusual ticking sound under the steering wheel could be heard intermittently. after a day or two, the problem seem to self resolve. this then makes it difficult because the ford dealers aren't able to help me if the problem was resolved. the most recent incident in december was the most frustrating. i consulted 3 ford dealers and non of them would fix it for me. i have 78,000 miles on my truck and i did buy the premium extended warranty up to 100,000. the dealer said, we won't fix your problem because leaks is not covered in your warranty and that is the cause of your problem. i even pointed out to the dealers that i read on nhtsa web site that this was not as uncommon as what i thought it was ( referring to nvs-212cag ea05-015). none of them would help me without me paying at least $600 just to check the truck ,because they said it required opening the dash board. *jb | |||

| Beginning about 8-12 month's ago, the right rear child safety lock frequently switches from the unlocked position to the locked position, approximately every 3rd-to-4th time the right rear door is shut. this malfuntion of a safety feature creates situations where the passenger is locked within the car and cannot let themselves out unless the door is openned from the outside. | |||
