| While i was driving done the interstate, my ford expedition lost all power and completely stalled. luckily, i was able to get it off the road to the shoulder without any incident. this is the third time it has happened to me. previously, i had my fuel pump sensor changed because my check engine light came on and that is what it indicated; however, the problem still exits and my mechanics are baffled. very dangerous! *tr | |||

| While traveling down the freeway at 70 mph, the vehicle died. it would not restart. after 1 hour vehicle the vehicle started and then died within seconds. the fuel filter and fuel pump were replaced because all indications lead to believe that the fuel pump was bad. after replacement of the fuel pump, vehicle would not start. looking on the internet for possible solutions from others, i found one person with the same problem and followed their advise on how to fix it. i found the drivers module on the back topside of the frame. when the module was removed, it was found to have two large sections of corrosion about 1/4 inch thick. when the chunks were knocked off, under them were two holes through the side of the module and the circuit was burnt, the plug was also starting to corrode. the placement for the module is a terrible spot. it is aluminum attached to a steel frame, with nothing separating them. when the new module arrived, it now has a rubber gasket to keep them separate. this looks like a design flaw on ford's part and a recall should be ordered. ford should further refund the cost of the fuel pump because all indications show that the fuel pump is bad, when in truth it is the module and not the fuel pump. *tr | |||

| I was driving down the center lane on rt 41 in port charlotte, with an approximate speed of 45 mph, when the engine just shut down. this is not the first time it happened to me, and it's very dangerous. i had to maneuver carefully to pull over to the side of the road, with cars beeping, and swerving around me. i tried to restart the vehicle, but kept getting an engine fail safe mode message. i sat for a while on the side of the road for about 5 minutes, and when i tried restarting the truck, it miraculously started. on monday, september 17, 2012, i went out to start my vehicle so i could bring it in to my mechanic, and it wouldn't start. i had to have it towed to his shop. he informed me that he has seen this problem many times with this vehicle. he also told me that people were on the highway when the vehicle shut down on them, and has caused accidents. he reset the code for the throttle body, and the truck ran fine. after doing an internet search on this problem, i see that there are multiple complaints about this dangerous problem. i also contacted ford to see if there was a recall for this problem, and they said there wasn't. i am afraid to drive the truck now, for fear that it is going to shut down in a busy intersection. hopefully ford will step up to the plate and do a recall for this problem. *tr | |||

| Tl-the contact owns a 2005 ford expedition. the contact stated that the engine stalled without warning while driving at any speed. the engine failure mode light illuminated after the failure occurred. the failure was experienced several times. the vehicle was taken to a local mechanic, who replaced the fuel filters and the injector but the failure was not corrected. the vehicle was then taken to an authorized dealer, where a diagnostic test was performed and located the failure at the throttle body. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 18,005 and the current mileage was 119,000. sm. | |||
